DMAE can be found in our Advanced Toning Serum.
Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) is used in skincare primarily for its firming and anti-aging effects. While the research base is smaller than for ingredients like retinoids or niacinamide, these are the main positive benefits associated with topical DMAE:
Skin-firming and lifting appearance
• Can create a noticeably tighter, firmer feel shortly after application
• May improve the appearance of mild sagging in areas like the jawline, cheeks, and neck
• Often used in “lifting” or “contouring” creams
Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• May soften the look of:
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet
- Smile lines
- Lip lines
• Users report smoother-looking skin texture over time
Improved skin tone and facial definition
• Can make skin appear more toned and less fatigued
• May enhance visible facial contours by temporarily reducing looseness
Smoother skin texture
• Skin may feel more refined, taut, and polished
• Can reduce the appearance of crepey skin in some people
Antioxidant support
• DMAE may help reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals
• This can support overall skin-aging prevention
Anti-inflammatory properties
• Some evidence suggests DMAE may calm low-level inflammation associated with aging and environmental stress
Increased skin radiance
• Firmer, smoother skin can reflect light better, creating a brighter or more refreshed appearance
Hydration-enhancing effect
• In some formulations, DMAE helps improve skin plumpness and softness
• Frequently paired with hydrating ingredients for a fuller appearance
Makeup-enhancing effects
• The tightening/smoothing effect can help makeup sit more evenly on the skin
• May reduce the look of texture temporarily before events or photos
Non-invasive anti-aging support
• Offers a cosmetic firming effect without procedures like:
- Injectables
- Threads
- Surgery
- Energy-based treatments
May complement other anti-aging ingredients
DMAE is often combined with:
• Peptides
• Hyaluronic Acid
• Niacinamide
• Resveratrol
