We selected an “award-winning” Vitamin B serum and compared it to our B3 Super Serum. Both retail around $130–$150. We supplied the ingredient lists only — without product names — and asked ChatGPT one simple question: Which serum is better? The results will surprise you.
Sydney, 9 February 2026 — One day after the official unveiling of its reimagined range, Derma Energy delivered another major announcement during an exclusive full-day professional training event: the launch of a true industry first — a peel that can be massaged into the skin.
8 February 2026 marked the official unveiling of the newly reimagined Derma Energy—a milestone relaunch ten years in the making.

What guests believed would be a brand relaunch soon became something more personal: a surprise celebration of Abel’s 50th birthday, reached just days earlier.

From day one, we chose water-based, oil-free serums powered by hyaluronic acid. Instead of traditional serum bases like Capric/Caprylic Triglycerides or dimethicone—excellent in moisturisers but heavy in serums—we committed to weightlessness. The result? Effortless layering, rapid absorption, and breathable skin.
But innovation never rests.
