As we age, or after significant life changes like pregnancy, our skin undergoes natural shifts. You might notice a loss of firmness, areas of dullness, or even the appearance of "crepey skin" and sleep lines. These changes, while normal, can impact our confidence, especially as warmer weather encourages sleeveless tops and baring more skin. But what if there was a simple, effective solution?
We put the Dermalogica Body Firming Serum to the test with members of our Escentual team, each with unique skin concerns and routines. Read on to discover their honest experiences, impressive results, and why this serum might just be your new secret weapon for firmer, more radiant skin.

Jade - Escentual Merchandiser
Jade, 32, sought to address pre-existing arm concerns and post-pregnancy skin changes, focusing on firmness. In just four weeks, her dedication to using the Dermalogica Body Serum twice daily yielded visibly firmer and more toned arms, far exceeding her expectations for a topical product.
Since being pregnant, my skin, especially on my stomach, has felt stretched, which is completely normal. But I’ve always struggled with my arms even before pregnancy, so that was the area I really wanted to focus on.
What results did you see, and what impressed you most?
I noticed a big improvement in the skin under my arms; it looks visibly firmer and more toned. I haven’t been working out at all, so this is purely from eating well and using the Dermalogica Body Serum. I didn’t expect a serum or cream to make such a difference, so I’m genuinely impressed.
How did you use the product and for how long?
I’ve been using it for four weeks, twice a day morning and night. I apply it in upward strokes as recommended, and then follow with my usual body moisturiser.
"it actually works. A quick, effective way to achieve firmer skin!"
It’s such an easy addition to your daily routine and, most importantly, it actually works. A quick, effective way to achieve firmer skin!

Leah - Escentual Merchandiser
Leah, 37, was keen to address the noticeable changes in her skin since hitting her late 30s, specifically the loss of firmness in her arms and crepey skin around her knees. She was impressed by how her skin became firmer, more toned, and hydrated, and especially by the reduced visibility of her crepey skin.
My skin has definitely changed since I hit my late 30s. I'm seeing reduced firmness in my arms and crepey skin around my knees, while the skin on my body, in general, appears much duller than my face.
What results did you see, and what impressed you most?
My skin now appears firmer, more toned, and hydrated, and the visibility of my crepey skin has diminished. I'm very impressed by both the ease of incorporating this into my routine and the rapid, noticeable results.
How did you use the product and for how long?
Over the past four weeks, adding this to my nightly routine has been incredibly simple. Before bed, I'd gently massage the serum into my chosen areas with upward strokes for a few seconds, followed by my usual moisturiser. As my initial focus areas began to improve, I progressively started applying the serum to more and more places.
"Within a few weeks, my upper legs looked visibly more toned!"
Adding this to my routine was incredibly easy, and the results have been outstanding! I noticed a reduction in skin dullness after just a few nights. Within a few weeks, my legs and upper arms looked visibly more toned and had a noticeably smoother texture, making me feel confident enough to wear sleeveless tops again – just in time for the recent warm weather
Alicia - Escentual Commericial Director
Alicia, 42, was eager to tackle age-related skin texture changes, particularly stubborn sleep lines and sagging on her neck, chest, arms, and knees, to feel summer ready. She was impressed by the immediate tightening effect on her chest and neck lines, noting a cumulative improvement with consistent daily use, especially appreciating its lightweight feel and quick absorption.
As I've aged, I've noticed a significant change in my skin texture, including stubborn sleep lines (despite my best efforts, I always wake up on my side!).
What results did you see, and what impressed you most?
I could notice a difference on my chest & neck lines, from the first application skin definitely feels tighter but there is definitely a cumalitive effect with regular & consistent use!
How did you use the product and for how long?
I used the product daily, in the morning and made sure I applied it in upward motion strokes etc and before my SPF. If i remembered, i used it in the night as well after a shower/bath.
"It’s amazing to see the almost instant result and is a great confidence booster"
It’s amazing to see the almost instant result and is a great confidence booster, especially if anyone is on a fitness or health mission. It's nice to complement that regime with this product for stronger results. It's a great lightweight texture which is super quick to absorb, doesn't leave a 'film' or feel oily etc and is only delicately scented.
