DermaQuest is an American skincare brand that develops its products for skin therapists and clinics, with an at-home line built to match. The formulas are built around active ingredients at clear concentrations: stable vitamin C (THD ascorbate), salicylic acid and other acids, peptides and plant stem cells. At Olivida you'll find the full at-home line, from the C Infusion vitamin C line to the DermaClear line for skin that breaks out.
DermaQuest works with clear concentrations, which calls for building up slowly. In practice, our most common advice is to start with a cleanser that suits your skin. The Essential Cleanser works for most skin types, while the BHA Cleanser suits skin that's shiny with congested pores. Then add one serum.
For the morning, that's usually a vitamin C serum from the C Infusion line under your SPF. For the evening, choose a serum based on what you see in your skin. The Advanced MelaQuest Serum targets pigmentation, and the Niacinamide Serum targets redness.
If you're new to DermaQuest, start with a kit: four products of 8 grams each, enough for a few weeks. That way you know how your skin responds before buying full sizes. Not sure? Ask us via chat or our contact page.
C Infusion: vitamin C. The line includes the Ferulic Infusion + C Serum with 15% vitamin C, ferulic acid and vitamin E. There's also the Phytic Infusion + C Serum with 8% vitamin C and phytic acid. The line includes the C Infusion Cleanser, Moisturizer, Mask and Lip Hydrator too, all with THD ascorbate.
DermaClear: skin that breaks out. Salicylic acid, mandelic acid and glycolic acid target congested pores and shine. The line includes the BHA Cleanser (2% salicylic acid), the DermaClear Cleanser, the Universal Clarifying Pads, the DermaClear Mask and the BHA Spot Treatment.
MelaQuest: pigmentation. Four products, each built around its own active ingredient, work toward an even skin tone. The Advanced MelaQuest Serum uses arbutin and bakuchiol, and the MelaQuest Cream uses kojic acid. The Eye Cream works with a cysteamine complex, and the Facial Cleanser contains vitamin C.
Peptide and Advanced 3D: anti-aging. Peptides, an ATP complex and plant stem cells target skin that's losing firmness. The line includes the Peptide Nourishing Cream, the Peptide 3D Facial Cleanser and Eye Lift. There's also the Advanced 3D HydraFirm Serum and the Advanced Stem Cell Rebuilding Complex.
Essentials and hydration. The Essential Cleanser uses papaya and pineapple enzymes, and the Universal Cleansing Oil works as a first cleansing step. There's also the Advanced B5 with Ferulic Acid hyaluronic acid serum, the Niacinamide Serum (5%) and the Algae Polishing Scrub.
Kits to try. Six kits with four products of 8 grams each, one per skin concern: Essential, C Infusion, DermaClear, MelaQuest, Pure Peptide and Post-Treatment.

Morning: cleanse (Essential Cleanser or C Infusion Cleanser), vitamin C serum, cream for your skin type, and always finish with SPF. Evening: cleanse (if you wear make-up, start with the Universal Cleansing Oil), a serum based on your skin concern (MelaQuest, B5 or Niacinamide), then cream. Build up products with acids slowly: start with two evenings a week. Usage instructions for each product are on the product page.
Is Olivida an official DermaQuest retailer?
Yes. Olivida is an official DermaQuest retailer in the Netherlands. You get original products.
What is THD ascorbate?
An oil-soluble, stable form of vitamin C that oxidizes more slowly than ascorbic acid and is mild on skin. DermaQuest uses it in the C Infusion cleanser, moisturizer, mask and the MelaQuest Cleanser; the serums work with ascorbic acid.
Can I start with a kit?
Yes. Every kit contains four products of 8 grams each, enough to try a line for a few weeks.
Can I combine DermaQuest with other brands?
Yes. With acids, retinal and vitamin C, pay attention to how you build up and avoid using several active ingredients at once without advice.
