D·E·J Daily Boosting Serum

Energy, then everything else

Revision's D·E·J line is named for the dermal-epidermal junction, the layer where skin's structure is anchored, and this serum is its daily driver. Oil-soluble vitamin C (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate) and resveratrol handle antioxidant defence, sunflower sprout extract and a yeast ferment support the cell energy the brand's research centres on, and a signal peptide, acetyl hexapeptide-1, prompts repair.

The feel

Hyaluronic acid, saccharide isomerate and squalane give the immediate plumping Revision reports at 15 minutes; red algae and beeswax esters give it a cushioned, serum-cream texture. Suitable for all skin types including sensitive and sun-damaged skin.

Reported results

Revision's testing reports more hydrated, plumper skin at 15 minutes, improved radiance and texture at 7 days, and firmer skin with better tone and elasticity at 12 weeks.

Skin wanting one serious anti-ageing serum that does firmness, radiance and hydration together; environmentally stressed and city skin; and anyone building a Revision routine, where this is the step the rest layer around.

Worth knowing

Contains jasmine, rose and lavender flower extracts and declared linalool, so patch test with a known fragrance allergy. No acids or retinoids. Suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Morning and evening on clean skin: one to two pumps pressed over face, neck and décolletage before moisturiser and daytime SPF.

Use alongside

Under D·E·J Face Cream by day and D·E·J Night Face Cream at night, over C+ Correcting Complex in the morning if you use both. Layers with any retinoid or acid used at other steps.
