Silky Base

★★★★★ 4.8 (11 Reviews)

The step that makes makeup sit well is not the step that hydrates. Asking one product to do both usually gets you neither.

Silky Base does only the first job. A silicone gel that fills the look of fine texture on the surface, with Olive and Resveratrol adding antioxidant support.

Skin looks smoother and makeup goes on evenly over it. It sits over a moisturizer rather than instead of one, and pairs with Post Laser Balm.

How This System Works
A makeup base rather than a skincare step. Silicones fill in the look of fine texture on the surface so foundation sits smoothly, and Resveratrol adds antioxidant support. Apply it in the morning after your skincare and before makeup. It isn't a moisturizer and won't hydrate — layer it over one. It pairs well with Post Laser Balm when skin is recovering but you still want to wear makeup.
Directions
Every morning. Apply a small amount over moisturizer as the last step before makeup. Do not use it in place of a moisturizer.

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.
