Essential Face Therapy

★★★★★ 4.8 (11 Reviews)

A glassy finish usually comes from something sitting on top of the skin. A film, a primer, an oil heavy enough to catch the light and heavy enough to feel.

Essential Face Therapy gets there from underneath. Apricot and Evening Primrose absorb instead of sitting, supplying the fatty acids the barrier runs on.

Skin looks lit from within rather than coated, and feels softer with it. Light enough to work as a massage medium, and the step that goes under sun protection.

How This System Works
A facial oil that behaves like a serum. Apricot Kernel, Evening Primrose and Borage seed oils supply the fatty acids the barrier runs on, while antioxidants protect — and the blend is light enough that it doesn't sit on the skin. Use it as the last step, morning or night, for a glassy finish. It may be too much for oily or combination skin. It pairs well under UV Shield.
Directions
Morning and night. Apply a few drops to cleansed skin as the last step and press gently into the skin. In the morning, pair it with a UV Shield SPF or EGF Blemish Balm for a dewy finish.

R&D TRANSPARENCY

The Science Your Practice Can Trust

Dermaesthetics has formulated in its own USA laboratory since 1988, with Korean-American clinical training behind every formula. Which means when you need to know why an ingredient is in a product, there's someone who can actually answer.

Built On Established Ingredient Science

Actives are chosen for well-documented mechanisms and combined so several routes to one concern work together. We'll show you what the research behind an ingredient supports, and we won't claim more for a formula than that research covers.

Korean Philosophy, Western Method

Korean skincare supplies the question — what does this skin need to find balance — and Western clinical practice supplies the means to answer it correctly. Both traditions sit in the lab, which is why the formulas are corrective without being punishing.

Developed For The Treatment And Retail Home-Care

Formulas are built knowing they'll be used both ways: applied by you in treatment, and taken home by the client between visits. The retail products extend the work you did — it isn't a substitute for the appointment.

TREATMENT PROTOCOL

How to Use in Your Practice

Step 01

Assess the client, not the calendar

Start with the skin in front of you

Barrier condition, recent procedures, and how the client responded last time all change what's appropriate today. Ask how their skin felt after the last treatment.

Step 02

Calibrate to each client's needs

Dose, depth and frequency are yours to set

DBH formulas are built to be adjusted for the client rather than applied uniformly: depth across the peel range, frequency on the correctives, how much you layer and how often.

Step 03

Extend it past the appointment

The time in-between you don't see them

What happens between visits decides whether the work holds. The retail line is built to work the same concerns at home, so a client maintains what you started instead of arriving at the next appointment back where they began.

What Clinical Professionals Are Saying

★★★★★

"I've stocked Dermaesthetics in my clinic for three years. My clients see real results and have been loyal to me because of it. It's become a cornerstone of my treatment protocols."

"Switching my backbar to Dermaesthetics was the best decision I made. Client retention improved because they see lasting results. Some of the products are expensive, but a little goes a long way with these products."

I have watched glycolic be the answer to everything, then vitamin C be the answer to everything, then stem cells, then peptides, then whatever we're calling exosomes this month.

So take it for what it's worth when I say this line has aged well in my room. It's a lot of layering, a lot of attention to comfort and barrier and not stripping people — but it isn't chasing whatever's trending. Acids are acids. They just handle them thoughtfully and they tell you the truth about what a formula is for.
