Did you know nicotine starves your skin of oxygen?
Hey, I'm Essam, and I created DermaBreak to fix that.
As a Mayo Clinic-trained Tobacco Treatment specialist and more than six year's of medical background in nicotine recovery, I've studied exactly how nicotine constricts blood flow and creates that sallow, tired look. Standard moisturizers weren't solving the root problem—so I developed a formula that does.
The Recovery Gap
When you quit nicotine, your lungs and heart heal almost instantly. But your skin? It tells a much slower story.
Most skincare is built for average skin. But if you've been exposed to nicotine for years, your skin isn't average—it's under unique stress. You don't need a 10-step routine. You need a focused, 1-minute ritual designed specifically for recovery.

Repair (Niacinamide, Centella, Panthenol) — barrier function
Protect (Green Tea, Vitamin E) — against oxidative stress

Bakuchiol
Bakuchiol (0.3%) – “Nature’s Retinol Alternative.” A gentle, plant-derived compound that offers retinol-like benefits without irritation. Bakuchiol helps improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time, acting as an antioxidant and supporting collagen production. It’s suitable for daytime use (unlike traditional retinol), as it doesn’t increase sun sensitivity – though SPF is still recommended during the day for overall skin protection.
Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola, 1.5%)
Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola, 1.5%) – “The Collagen Booster.” An herbal extract celebrated in K-beauty (also known as Cica or Tiger Grass). Centella is known to soothe the skin and boost collagen synthesis, which can help firm the skin and soften the look of wrinkles. It’s excellent for compromised or sensitive skin, as it calms irritation while supporting repair.
Green Tea Extract (Camellia Sinensis, 1.5%)
Green Tea Extract (Camellia Sinensis, 1.5%) – “Antioxidant Powerhouse.” Green tea is rich in polyphenols like EGCG, which are potent antioxidants that protect the skin from free radical damage (think pollution, UV, and yes, cigarette smoke). By scavenging those wrinkle-causing free radicals, green tea helps prevent premature aging and soothes the skin with its anti-inflammatory properties. It also gently brightens a dull, tired complexion (a common issue for smokers).
Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis)
Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) – “Hydration & Comfort.” Aloe is a classic soothing ingredient: it’s deeply hydrating and known for relieving redness or irritation. In this moisturizer, aloe (in concentrated powder form) helps attract and retain moisture in the skin, adding a lightweight hydration that calms dryness. It contributes to the product’s silky, non-greasy feel.
