A month ago or so, Derma E generously sent me a box of skincare products from a few brands in addition to their own Derma E products. That really surprised me. There was no explanation, and I don’t have a regular contact at Derma E who I could ask about it. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I have been trying all of the products.

ThinkSport Sunscreen that I wrote about a couple of weeks ago here was one of the new brands. Another new-to-me brand was REPLENIX.
REPLENIX Medical-Grade Skincare
REPLENIX was introduced in 1981 as a brand for was marketed to dermatologists to use for their patients. The ingredients were scientifically proven to be effective. Importantly, they were “medical grade” which means that the active ingredients are at a higher concentration and are 99% pure (vs. OTC products that may contain fillers).
REPLENIX skincare products emphasized antioxidants before they became the well-known ingredients that they are today. “As a global pioneer in powerful antioxidant technology, REPLENIX revolutionized skincare with the introduction of its proprietary Green Tea Polyphenol Technology, which incorporated a first-of-its-kind green tea purified to an unprecedented 90%, making it the world’s most powerful antioxidant technology available on the market. To this day, its purity and performance is unmatched.”
Now 40 years later, REPLENIX skincare products are available directly to consumers without prescription. How wonderful!
Replenix products are quite contemporary. They are Cruelty-free. Paraben-free. Hypoallergenic. Noncomedogenic. Oil Free. Alcohol Free. Synthetic Filler Free. Reef Safe. Reduced Plastic & Recyclable.
REPLENIX Anti-aging Age Restore Nighttime Therapy
I love moisturizers and anti-aging creams, so I went right for the jar of REPLENIX Anti-Aging Age Restore Nighttime Therapy when I saw it in the box. The consistency is a gel-cream that immediately felt wonderful – nourishing but not heavy at all – on my skin.
In the jar, it has a very faint floral aroma that is imperceptible as I apply it as well as afterwards on my skin. The next morning my skin feels hydrated and refreshed. I have several anti-aging moisturizers that I love, but since the first time I tried REPLENIX Age Restore Nighttime Therapy, I have been using it consistently.
Here’s what REPLENIX says about Age Restore Nighttime Therapy:
“This scientifically formulated, moisture-boosting night-time treatment provides proven age-defying benefits while softening and nourishing dry skin back to optimum health. Skin is deeply hydrated while elasticity, texture, fine lines and wrinkles and tone are dramatically improved.”
Yes, I agree. It’s a wonderful product. My skin feels and looks hydrated and plumped. The anti-aging free radical protection is supposed to be top notch, though that is something that is harder to monitor and/or notice.
The key ingredients are:
-
Bio-Mimicking Ceramides: Naturally occurring in the skin, these medical-grade ceramides are proven to provide intense nourishment, helping to repair the skin barrier while improving elasticity and texture.
-
Advanced Peptide Complex: Highly stable, this advanced, ultra-pure medical-grade peptide complex helps plump skin to support a collagen-rich appearance while helping to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Proprietary Green Tea Polyphenol Technology: Proven to be the most powerful and effective antioxidant – and now purified to its highest form with the most advanced proprietary delivery system – this powerhouse green tea technology works to instantly sooth and calm irritated skin while providing superior anti-aging protection from damaging free radicals.

REPLENIX Anti-aging Age Restore Nighttime Therapy comes in a jar (I use a scoop to keep it clean) that holds 1.7 fl. oz. and is priced at $90 on the REPLENIX website. REPLENIX has a loyalty points program that helps discount the prices. However, I checked to see if REPLENIX products are sold anywhere else, and they are: Amazon $88, Dermstore $90, Skinstore where it’s on sale for 20% off $72 right now, and Lovelyskin where it’s also 20% off now at $72. At some of the authorized online retailers that I mentioned, you can save a little more with cash back through Rakuten.
I received two other REPLENIX skincare products in the package. One is an acne product so I will give that one away when I review the Vitamin C Serum that I haven’t tried yet. So stay tuned!
I received these as well, and was pretty surprised, too! I can’t wait to try them!

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed! The REPLENIX turned out to be a wonderful surprise in our Derma E box!
I wish jar packaging would die in a fire. I hate it so much. I keep scoops around, just like you do for this purpose. The product itself sounds fabulous!

This cream sounds like something I would love for my skin. I like that it has a few benefits in there like ceramides and peptides in one step.
This sounds fantastic! I have not been keeping up my nightcare routine and my skin is FEELING it. This sounds like a great for me to jump start back into it!
