What the gurus are saying

The gurus who tested this serum praise the niacinamide concentration as a sweet spot for real results without triggering sensitivity or irritation. At 5%, it brightens dull skin, firms the look of fine lines, and strengthens the barrier; the DMAE works alongside it to lift and tighten, with one expert noting visible improvement in firmness within about four weeks. It slots easily into any routine morning or evening, one pump covers the face, and the small bottle lasts roughly a month. Those sensitive to niacinamide at higher strengths may find this gentler option works better for their skin.

"I really like the Stratia Rewind Serum. This is beautiful. I would probably use this most frequently if it was a little easier to get here in the UK. It's just a really nice serum, lightweight, that you can slot into your skincare routine."

Worlds Best: ANTI AGING SERUM 2024 (Only $27!)
"The Stratia Rewind Serum is beautifully light and contains DMAE which is a fantastic ingredient for tightening and lifting the skin. These two work so well together. Use them back to back morning and evening and your skin will be lifted, the skin will be firmed, and you'll be snatched. I like to pair them together for the very best results."
AMAZING New ANTI-AGING SKINCARE - Better Than Retinol? (DMAE Explained)
"It's got five percent strength of niacinamide which works really well on my skin because higher concentrations I find breaking me out give me sensitivity and irritation. Five percent is that sweet spot where I get maximum results minimum risk of side effects. It's got the humectants and hydrators in there and it's just a really really nice product that's super flexible that you can slot in anywhere in your skincare routine. I use this morning and evening and I found that one bottle because it is quite small in size will last roughly a month. I just used one pump which is what the brand recommend and I got some really really good results. It's quite affordable, and Stratia is definitely a great brand. This is now completely vegan so if you're living a plant-based vegan lifestyle this is probably the product that I would recommend."

AGE IN REVERSE - Best Anti Aging Skincare Ingredients 2024
"Stratia Rewind Serum is phenomenal with a 3% concentration of DMAE. This is going to work so well for you. It's also got some other great beneficial ingredients, but it's that DMAE that's doing the heavy lifting here. Use one pump of this all over the face once a day and trust me within 28 days you will notice that firmness and elasticity improve. I tried it and I've been blown away and I loved it. It works great on the eyelids as well. You can use it along the eyelids to get rid of any crepiness and give a little bit of a lift."

"I really wish more people knew about this product. It is really, when I think about niacinamide serums, this is like the top product that I think about because it really gives you a wow benefit on your skin. We have five percent of niacinamide in here, and it's important to know the percentage because different percentages bring up different benefits. At five percent we've got really effective brightening, hyperpigmentation, dull skin, uneven skin. You want your skin to glow? Five percent definitely gonna do that. It's going to help strengthen your skin barrier and it's also going to help stimulate collagen, and that is the name of the game for well aging. Collagen stimulation helps to prevent and target the look of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin. It is amazing for skin elasticity. It is so so good. Five percent is the percentage that is studied in clinical studies. They're using five percent of niacinamide. I know it sounds low but it's actually a very effective amount, it's a very safe amount too. As you go up in percentages there's a bigger potential for irritation. Five percent is a very gentle amount but as I said, effective."
