Active Vitamin D Serum Oil by Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Highly Recommended by the Beautiful People of Whom You Know! We are Pleased to Kick Off Our Coverage of Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare

So I have tried many many great skincare products that help with fine lines and fight against aging. However, I have never tried a Serum Oil and was thrilled to see Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare offer this as part of their amazing skincare products. The Active Vitamin D Serum-Oil comes in a glass bottle with a dropper and is super easy to use. So shake away! Then use only a couple of drops and massage into your face and neck. It is does not feel oily once it hits your skin so don’t shy away from it thinking you are going to clog all your pores and look shiny. Your skin feels immediately hydrated and smooth as well as tighter and brighter. After a week I noticed my pores were smaller and my skin just looked healthier. Even the small crinkles around my mouth and eyes seemed less visible. I also love this because you can do it morning or night and can apply make-up over it if needed. This product comes with a big stamp of approval as I know I look my best. 

During the winter months, I'm not always myself because I'm not always able to get out and walk or work in the yard. When I saw the Active Vitamin D Serum Oil by Dr. Dennis Gross, I was exited to try it. I've taken supplements, but they haven't always worked that well. That wasn't the case with this serum. Not only did it help revive me, it helped erase the fine lines around my eyes. The more I used it, the better I felt and the better my skin looked. I had several friends notice the change in my attitude and that my skin was looking better. I couldn't wait to tell them all about the Active D Serum Oil. I also loved that this serum is cruelty free. I always am a supporter of any facial products that don't test on animals.

I try to protect my skin from the sun's harmful rays as much as possible. It is important to me to prevent damaging and aging my skin prematurely, not to mention helping prevent cancer. Since the sun naturally gives us vitamin D, I end up missing out on that much needed vitamin when I'm protecting myself from the sun. Thankfully Dr. Dennis Gross has come up with a brilliant solution called Active Vitamin D Serum Oil! This serum is a great alternative to receiving vitamin D through UVB sun exposure or through other types of supplements. All you need to do is apply 2-3 drops, AM or PM, and gently massage into your face and neck! You can then follow up with moisturizer and you're set! It has already made my skin more hydrated and radiant than ever! This product, like Dr. Dennis Gross' other products is also vegan and paraben free which is always a good thing! I'm so happy that I now can get the vitamins I need while still protecting my skin. Dr. Dennis Gross' products will change the way that we all treat our skin from now on!

Dr. Dennis Gross observed the majority of his patients (skin cancer patients in general) were experiencing Vitamin D deficiencies because they were overtly careful about exposing themselves to UV rays and using high levels of sunscreen. In order for the body to synthesize Vitamin D, it must be converted from UVB sun exposure or through supplementation/diet. Therefore, Dr. Gross set out to develop the first & only skincare serum-oil that would provide sufficient levels of Vitamin D to skin through TOPICAL APPLICATION. However, in order for a product to work topically - the Vitamin D has to be active which is more difficult to manufacture. The ingredient Ergocalciferol, found in the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare™ Active Vitamin D Serum Oil, denotes that the vitamin is active and does not require sunlight.
