The Purifying Power Serum was specially developed for skin prone to blemishes, redness, and dark spots. A carefully balanced combination of purifying and brightening active ingredients restores the skin’s balance and visibly improves the appearance of blemishes and hyperpigmentation.
Azeloglicina®, a modern derivative of azelaic acid, regulates sebum production and reduces redness. This makes it a great serum for oily skin. SEBOCLEAR™-MP supports the skin microbiome, specifically inhibits acne-causing bacteria, and thus breaks the cycle of blemished skin. The powerhouse duo of tranexamic acid and butylresorcinol specifically targets dark spots and promotes a more even complexion. The serum for dark spots is rounded out by niacinamide and green tea, which provide antioxidant protection and strengthen the skin barrier.
When used regularly, the Purifying Power Serum can help achieve a clearer and more even complexion.
Your skin tells your story—let it be a story of love.

DOC BERGER EFFECT Skin Analysis
after 2 months of consistent use
Don’t squeeze pimples or blackheads, and if possible, avoid harsh, mechanical exfoliation treatments at the esthetician’s—they often only treat the symptom and can further irritate the skin. A more sustainable approach is to tackle the root cause of the problem at home: with a consistent, oil-free skincare routine and effective ingredients that work to regulate and clarify your skin. This transformation shows how breakouts were able to subside when the skin was thoroughly cleansed in the morning and evening—supplemented by our fruit acid peel 2–3 times a week, as well as the Purifying Power Serum and retinol in the evening.

The Purifying Power Serum is also particularly popular among women over 40, as it contains active ingredients specifically designed to target dark spots. As we age, many processes in the skin change: sun damage from earlier years becomes visible, hormonal changesbegin, and factors such as stress, alcohol, or smoking can further disrupt the skin’s complexion. That’s exactly why, once you turn 40, it’s crucial not to wait but to take active steps to counteract these changes. This transformation shows how dark spots were visibly reduced—with the added benefit of using our Time Machine Night Cream.

Here's what the founder says
Did you know that a large number of teenagers—and many adults as well—suffer from skin blemishes? My daughter Eleonora used to be one of them. Thanks to the right skincare routine, she now has clear, healthy skin. Our Purifying Power Serum targets the very areas where problems arise: its blend of active ingredients regulates sebum production and has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. When used consistently, it can visibly improve skin texture and tone. In its new formula, the serum also specifically targets pigmentation spots. This makes it an excellent anti-aging supplement for all women over 40 who want to even out their skin’s imperfections.
Note on the Ratings
During menopause, the skin suddenly undergoes another major change. For me, breakouts have returned along with dark spots and, of course, fine lines—a truly challenging combination... That’s why I’m all the more happy that Dr. Berger’s new serum is now available, which targets exactly these concerns. I’ve been using it consistently for a few weeks now as a supplementary serum, in combination with retinol, and I feel like my skin is much more balanced. I was particularly surprised that two stubborn age spots have actually already lightened a bit. For me, this serum is a truly great addition to the evening skincare routine, especially for women over 40!
As a former sun worshipper, I’m unfortunately now dealing with the consequences. I recently had a personalized skin analysis done by Dr. Berger in Munich. During the procedure, special photographs were taken to reveal the deeper layers of my skin—and that’s where I saw for the first time just how much UV damage had accumulated over the years. Much of it isn’t even visible to the naked eye, but it’s been hidden in my skin for decades.
Of course, you can’t undo everything. It’s now absolutely clear to me that prevention is the most important thing. Still, fortunately, there are ways to improve the skin even when there are existing imperfections and to correct existing pigmentation spots and age spots. Together, we put together a suitable routine in Munich that’s perfectly tailored to my skin type. I made a conscious decision to invest in my skin holistically.
There’s one product I’d like to highlight in particular: the Purifying Power Serum for the evening. It visibly refines pores, gently exfoliates dead skin cells, and specifically targets pigment spots. After about six weeks, you can really see that your skin looks fresher and more even-toned.
My personal tip: In the morning, I also use the Vitamin C + Spilanthol Serum from DOC BERGER EFFECT. It also helps reduce dark spots and, at the same time, minimizes expression lines—it’s an absolute dream for me.
I'm really looking forward to continuing to care for my skin with this brand and doing something for its long-term health.😊🙏🏻
I tried the serum on a friend's recommendation and I love it.🙃🤍
I did some research in the active ingredient dictionary, and the active ingredients in the Purifying Power Serum are truly amazing!🤩 I struggled with blackheads and redness for a long time, but things have gotten much better thanks to the serum. Neutrazem effectively relieves inflammation, redness, and swelling. It also helps the skin regenerate and contributes to more resilient, robust skin!🫶🏻
I've got my oily skin under control!!

Important Information for Your Trips:
Our active ingredient serums have been carefully formulated for your daily skincare routine. However, we would like to point out that when traveling—especially on flights—there is a risk that the serums may leak due to changes in pressure or movement. Unfortunately, we cannot accept any liability for such incidents. To minimize the risk of leakage, we recommend the following steps:
1.) Leak Test: Before you travel, make sure that all the lids and caps on your products are securely and tightly closed. It’s important to remove the pipette and use a cloth (such as a tissue) to degrease and dry the collar as thoroughly as possible. This is exactly where a leak can occur. Do not screw the pipette back on tightly until after this step.
2.) Upright storage: Store the products in an upright position whenever possible.
3.) Opt for carry-on luggage: When flying, you should pack the products in your carry-on luggage so you can better control the storage conditions.
If you have any concerns, we recommend leaving the serums at home if necessary to completely prevent them from leaking.

Acnacidol is known for regulating sebum production. Too much sebum can lead to clogged pores and acne breakouts. Acnacidol also has an antimicrobial effect that helps fight the bacteria that cause blemished skin. Similar to Acnacidol, the exclusive active ingredient Azeloglicina regulates sebum production and also has skin-brightening properties.
Acnacidol and Azeloglicina are both active ingredients that already help reduce blemishes and inflammation without drying out the skin. But to provide even more moisture, the Purifying Power Serum contains aloe vera and panthenol. Both aloe vera and panthenol hydrate the skin, strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, and soothe irritation or redness. When used together, they have a powerful soothing effect and promote wound healing.
The Purifying Power Serum is ideal for blemish-prone skin, excessive sebum production, blackheads, or excessive keratinization. It is suitable for both oily, blemish-prone skin and dry, blemish-prone skin.
Apply the Purifying Power Serum in the evening after thoroughly cleansing your skin with the appropriate foam and toner . You can then apply other serums on top and continue with your eye care routine (in the evening: especially the Eye Cream) and your usual night cream .
For best results, we recommend daily use, generally only in the evening. During the day, you should always use the Anti-Pollution Day Cream should always be applied during the day to protect against UV rays.
Yes, the serum can be easily combined with other serums. For example, in the evening with the Booster Serum and the Retinol Serum.
This can vary from person to person, but many users report a noticeable reduction in pore size after just a few weeks of use. However, you should plan on using it for at least 2–3 months to achieve visible results. Why? Because your skin needs time to absorb the active ingredients, regenerate from the inside out, and naturally develop a clearer complexion with finer pores.

Our active ingredient serums have been carefully formulated for your daily skincare routine. Please note, however, that when traveling—especially on flights—there is a risk that the serums may leak due to changes in pressure or movement.

To minimize the risk of leakage, we recommend that you take the following steps:
1. Seal Test:
Before you travel, make sure all caps and closures are tightly sealed. To do this, remove the pipette and thoroughly clean any residue from the neck of the vial with a cloth or tissue. Only then should you screw the pipette back on tightly—this is where leaks most often occur.
2. Upright positioning:
Store the products in an upright position whenever possible.
3. Choose carry-on luggage:
When flying, you should carry the products in your carry-on luggage so you can better control the storage conditions.
If you're unsure, we recommend leaving the serums at home just to be safe, to completely avoid any potential leaks.
