DermaRESTORE Advanced Stretch Mark and Scar Cream Review
DermaRESTORE is a product designed to eliminate stretch marks and scars that has gained a lot of positive feedback. It comes from PRI (Phoenix Rejuvenation Institute), a relatively small skin & hair care company based in Arizona. The only other product the company is known for is its Formula500 hair regeneration system.
TO THE POINT: DermaRESTORE is actually a decent product. It’s not the absolute best (in our opinion that title belongs to TriLASTIN-SR) but it does work when used properly and used daily for about 1 1/2 to 2 months (perhaps a little longer for very old, deep, or intensely colored stretch marks).
About the Product
DermaRESTORE is a topical treatment that is applied two times each day. A small amount of the cream is massaged into the skin of the affected areas once in the morning, and once again at night. This process is repeated daily until the desired area is clear of stretch marks.
The DermaRESTORE listing on Amazon has a pretty impressive rating. For a product without a big name behind it that’s a TON of reviews and an oddly high score. It’s just too suspicious. That information coupled with the fact that a few people pointed out that reviews were bought points to foul play here.
Our Review
Despite the fact that this product has 100s of positive reviews we are extremely skeptical of its effectiveness. After testing it out for nearly 3 months we concluded that the results were moderate at best. There was a slight improvement in skin patches afflicted with stretch marks but it wasn’t anything impressive.
In fact, other stretch mark removal creams have consistently performed far better than DermaRESTORE, and did so in less time. This is another reason we believe the claims that the company paid individuals to leave positive reviews for their product on the Amazon listing.
For better and faster results we highly recommend trying a different product such as SkinCeption Intensive Stretch Mark Therapy or TriLASTIN-SR. Both of these products are proven to work well, are about the same price, and are far more likely to leave you a happy customer than DermaRESTORE.
Does it Work?
While both customer reviews and clinical studies work in favor of DermaRESTORE we DO NOT believe it is the most effective at getting rid of stretch marks, scars, or any other skin issue. Our own tests showed some improvement and the real assessments we discovered from customers that were not paid for their opinion reveal that the cream can be effective, but not for everyone.

Where to Buy It
Currently it seems that the primary place you can buy DermaRESTORE from is Amazon. Even the official Phoenix Rejuvenation Institute website directs visitors to the Amazon listing for purchasing. It is, however, also available for purchase at:
- Overstock.com
- Groupon (time-sensitive deal that pops up once in a while)
You can also find this product on eBay, but we always tell people to be extremely cautious when purchasing any cosmetic products from this website because there have been MANY scams in which individuals used the official bottle, replaced its contents with basic lotions, and sold it as the authentic solution.
For better and faster results we highly recommend trying a different product such as SkinCeption Intensive Stretch Mark Therapy or TriLASTIN-SR. Both of these products are proven to work well, are about the same price, and are far more likely to leave you a happy customer than DermaRESTORE.
