Pore and oil control: High in tannins, it helps tighten the appearance of pores and keeps sebum in check. Great for oily or combination skin.
Texture: Gently buffs away roughness and helps lift dead skin cells for a smoother surface.
Barrier and moisture: Supports the skin barrier, locks in hydration, and improves elasticity over time.
Antioxidant protection: Helps shield skin from environmental stressors that can speed up visible ageing.

DERMA-CLERA is a soothing, barrier-strengthening complex. It:

Calms irritation and redness
Restores and helps maintain moisture levels
Strengthens the skin barrier to reduce moisture loss

To me onest i am using this product from aprox 2 weeks . I can’t see any improvment on my skin pores

This came recommended by staff

The lovely staff at the Skin Cupid recommended this tightening serum. I’ve used it for a week now and can see visible results. I would buy this again.

Very good

I like this product a lot it definitely tighten the pores I think I'll try other products from this brand.

No big change

I didn't really see any change in my skin with this. I probably would not reorder.

It does what it says

This does visibly reduce my pores and smoothed my skin. Absorbs really well.

Good try

I heard of this one and decided to give it a try.
It did visibly reduce my pores from the first use. I added it to my frequent rotation and if it improves from there, I may buy it again.

Amazing product

I don't usually leave reviews but I have to give this product a review as it is an amazing product. My pores have never looked better and my skin has never looked more radiant. I have been struggling with my skin looking dull and this has completely changed that, my skin looks amazing. I love this product and it is a must buy.

Think I will be re purchasing.

A thicker serum but absorbs easily , only needed a couple of drops for my whole face so I think this bottle will last some time, as I only use this serum in my evening routine and skin looks good the next day. I would say my pores and overall skin texture are improving and if results continue I will be buying this one again.

Simple but good

I was sceptical of this serum as reviews can be hot or cold however for me as someone with combination skin that is very very sensitive and easyly gets fungal acne this serum did not irritate my skin! It has made my pores visibly smaller however the biggest change is that it has tightened my face it’s really Botox in a bottle ! It gives me glowy skin until I wash my face I like this for an everyday serum and think it’s a safe bet !

Nothing

Finished the whole thing with no change

Light weight and quick results

I’ve only been using this for a week but have already noticed a huge difference in my pore size. The serum is thicker than expected but really lightweight and a little goes a long way! Really impressed and will be a staple part of my routine now.

Perfect for acne skin

I received this product in a suitcase which was the molvany's giveaway .This has prevented my breakout from coming back. I would buy this product again. Thank you Skin Cupid for helping my skin.

Really good!

Got this serum as a free addition to Molvany's Cleanser in the Black Friday bundle, and I am not disappointed. Been using it for nearly a week and there is a visible difference in the size and appearance of my pores after this. I was worried the consistency would be too heavy for my skin, but it wasn't at all. Beautiful packaging and color. Doesn't feel sticky and dries quickly. Really love it so far!
