Hi!! I hope you’re all well! I’m back for my summer vacation/mini hiatus. I took a short break from writing to focus on social media work and artistic development. I will share some personal updates more in my next blog post, but I’m doing very well in many ways. Today, I want to share my Depology Skincare review with you! Enjoy!
About Depology Skincare & Products
D?p // Deep (English) = extending far down from the top or surface.
Ology = a subject of study; a branch of knowledge.
Depology Skincare is a brand that focuses on various serums, treatments, and microneedle patches to provide excellent skincare results at home. Professional micro needling is a somewhat abrasive skincare treatment, which I personally love, but wouldn’t operate an at-home device for hygiene reasons, etc. I’m excited that Depology has developed a gentle yet safe alternative for home. Their patches are more densely packed with darts than others on the market, which means that a higher concentration of the solution can absorb into the skin. They don’t puncture the skin hard or hurt at all, no worries!
Depology Deepcare+ Serum Infused Micro Dart Patches Review
8 pairs / 12 pairs / 16 pairs for $72 / $108 / $144, made in South Korea.
Depology Deepcare+ Serum Infused Micro Dart Patches are multi-purpose skincare patches that can be used under the eyes and nasolabial folds, for example. They’re also marketed as anti-wrinkle patches or anti-age patches, as they have small micro darts that help the serum to penetrate better into the skin to provide effective results. I’d say the texture of the Deepcare+ Serum-Infused Micro Dart Patches reminds me of a soft sticker. You can wear these overnight for the most effective results; personally, I wake up very early (and often puffy around my eyes) and wear these +2 hours after showering. The patches lock in the moisture, so you don’t need to worry about applying eye cream first!
I’m lucky that I don’t have very visible fine lines around my eyes, but I’ve really enjoyed the patches and will test these for my nasolabial folds as well. The ingredients list is excellent and fluff-free: hyaluronic acid, Argireline peptide, glycerin, and amino acids, etc. for nourished and plumped-looking skin. Use a pack as a treatment program or for special occasions!
Depology Black Caviar Collagen Under Eye Patches Review
60 pieces for $48. Sourced ethically in China.
Caviar hydrogel patches for that de-puffing in the morning or plumping the delicate undereye area every day. Black Caviar Collagen Under Eye Patches are made from durable hydrogel and feel very moisturizing and luxurious. Nourishing, plumping, soothing, de-puffing - especially if you store them in the fridge. What a treat in the morning, when you’re tired and still brewing your first cup of coffee! These collagen patches are larger than average imo, so they nicely treat the whole undereye and upper cheek area (for me).
I really do enjoy under-eye gels and skincare patches in general, but most are too slippery in texture or not ideal ingredients-wise. I think Depology Black Caviar patches are worth the price! There are black caviar extract, Centella Asiatica extracts, collagen peptides, and Hyaluronic acid, so a lot of soothing, moisturizing, fine line plumping, and antioxidant-rich ingredients that protect against oxidative stress and make the skin soft and supple.
Depology Matrixyl 3000? Collagen Boosting Serum Review
30ml for $40
If you’re an OG reader (hi!), you may know I have somewhat dry/dehydrated post-adult acne skin and I’m very partial to hydrating serums. I’ve reviewed plenty during the years, yet I remain intrigued by new (or new to me) products! I always lust after that juicy, supple, soft, plump, and hydrated “glass” skin. To put it simply: Depology Matrixyl 3000? Collagen Boosting Serum is Laura approved! Matrixyl 3000 is a synthetic peptide that’s said to promote collagen production, which is excellent for any skin over 25. It also has Hyaluronic Acid, aloe, and glycerin for that hydration. I hate to use the word “clean”, but this INCI was pretty much it - no fuss, just efficacy. Nice light, a bit viscous texture, and wears lovely under creams and makeup! It’s currently sold out, so make sure to sign up on Depology’s mailing list!
