I recieved my dermaroller today, only 6 days after I ordered it.

Haven't used it, so I will update you when I have, but..

In special instruction box for delivery in web form when I ordered, I requested they mark it as gift (so I didn't have to pay duty).

Unlike other companies (as its not strictly legal, hehe) they actually did this. So if you order remember to request they mark it as gift if your in a country that pays duty.

I didn't ask it to be marked as a gift.. and I didn't pay any tax either which was cool.

Been using mine too. I suggested this on another thread and I should've put it here.

It might be good to sterilize the dermaroller after each use with rubbing alcohol. That's what I"m doing.

I believe it's working well, too, Maya. My products are penetrating better. The SUPER CP Serum never burned or stung and now it does, but only for a few seconds.

The SUPER CP Serum is quickly fading some purple/red marks-scars that I had on my cheek that had been there for many months; at least 6-8 months. They are fading way more rapidly, now, thank goodness.

I'm liking this SUPER Serum..... /

To Maya and Denise and anyone else using the Dermaroller,

Are you using the dermaroller with ONLY ONE SUBSTANCE?

I am thinking about purchasing it based on your comments that your products are more effective with it... and I was thinking of using it for CP serum and possibly some other topicals such as a Vit C lotion, alphalipoic acid, etc. Then I read this on the Dermaroller website:

"Because of hygienic reasons the DERMAROLLER should be solely:
a) used by ONE person only !
B) used for only one and the same substance !"

Well, only I will be using the dermaroller so no problem there, but are any of you using it for more than one substance? Do I need to purchase more than one Dermaroller?

BTW, thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences. You are a wonderful inspiration.

Hey Mimi: I use my dermaroller and then apply the SUPER CP Serum and then my Retin A. With Maya, she does it the other way around, Retin A first, then the serum.

If you order Vitamin C, be aware that you shouldn't apply it with the copper peptides as it cancels out the vitamin C.

Actually, I've used the Cellex C and I do believe that the Super Serum is at least 100% better and the Super Serum fades spots much quicker than the vitamin c, where it didnt' have much effect on spots or unevenness at all.

It is shown to be much more effective than vitamin c or a. Ofcourse I use Retin A, a vitamin a derivitive.....but I wouldn't mess with the vitamin c too much as it will interfere with the peptides, and you have to space them 12 hours apart in their application, blah, blah, blah......

Hope that helps.

Thanks Denise,

So, from your description, it seems you are using the Dermaroller for more than just one substance. If I understand correctly, you are using the dermaroller first and then applying both the cp serum and vit a. Actually, if the dermaroller gets used first, before putting on any topical substance, it shouldn't really matter what it's used with, especially if the dermaroller is kept clean with alcohol between uses. I just wondered about the comment on the dermaroller website about using only ONE SUBSTANCE with the dermaroller.

I was considering getting Cellex C and also the Super CP serum and appreciate your input. I have the regular CP serum but now I am going to get the Super CP serum (and not the Cellex C)- sounds like it's working well for you. I understand that I shouldn't use the copper peptides with the vit c - thanks for noting that.

Hi Mimi....yeah, I do use a couple of topicals when using the dermaroller. I'm not sure why they mention using ONE, but I don't do that. Not sure what difference it makes.

I think you'll see a wonderful difference with the SUPER CP Serum. I think it's much better and stronger than the regular serum. Like I have said before, I've got unevenness and purple marks that have faded more in the past 4 weeks of using the serum than the previous 8 months, and that includes having a TCA peel. :-k #-o :-s

[Maya]

An update on the dermaroller - I really think this really helps penetrate topicals into the skin - a very good investment!!

[Maria]

Maya, in what way have you noticed improvement?

[Maya]

Sorry Maria - didn't see your post until now. Well the dermaroller seems to make retin-a penetrate the skin quite deeply - I am only using it on my face twice a week now.

[jamie10]

Maya--

how much did you pay for your dermaroller? what creams other then retin-A can you use to help the scars?


This is only for indented scarring right??....

[Maya]

The dermaroller was $37 - around £25 - can be used for better penetration of any topicaltion/gel/cream so not just for scar creams - wrinkle creams too.

Not a good idea Jamie for you - this would be too harsh for anyone for 2 years after accutane I think.

[jilly410]

Is the DermaRoller worth purchasing, if only for the deeper penetration effects? Is the Copper Peptides also more effective as a result?

[Maya]

I am still using it occassionally - and yes, I do think it's worth purchasing. It definately makes topicals penetrate deeper.

[OursFan]

I agree with Maya... I use it prior to putting on the copper peptide serum but I only use it ocassionally because my skin is sensitive and is easily irritated.

[Maya]

No, the needles don't penetrate the skin - and there is next to no pain, just a tingling sensation.

[Steve321]

hmm.. i noticed the site offers 3 type of rollers. One for deeper penetration and another for acne scars..

Is anyone using the one for acne scars and then putting on topicals? Im a little confused on which one i should be purchasing

[Lantos]

Hello,I,m Lantos from Holland (male).

I,m intersested in the dermaroller,I now its use in the hairloss community many are using it.
But I want to use it for my stretmarks due weightgain,so i send a couple of question to dermaroller.de still waiting for answers.

Are some of you using the dermaroller for stretcmarks and if so what type?
I use emu oil and stretchmark creme.What I have red about it I think this thing could really help marks to build up callogen again in the damage skin.
Thanks,
Lantos
