Special Exfoliation Cream

★★★★★ 4.8 (11 Reviews)

A rinse-off exfoliant has minutes to work. Anything asked of it beyond clearing the surface has to happen in that window or not at all.

Special Exfoliation Cream takes the night instead. Glycolic Acid resurfaces slowly under a thick cream, while Arbutin works on the look of uneven tone.

Caffeine settles puffiness by morning, so skin looks smoother, brighter and less swollen at once. Applied as the last step of the evening and left on.

System Role:
Exfoliate · Overnight resurfacing cream · Last PM step
Usage:
PM, 2-3x per week; introduce gradually, then increase as tolerated

How This System Works
An overnight resurfacing cream that works while you sleep. Glycolic Acid gently resurfaces while Arbutin and Niacinamide help even tone, and Horse Chestnut and Caffeine help reduce the look of puffiness by morning. Use it as the last step at night, two or three times a week, building up as tolerated. It's thick — apply it before bed and let it work undisturbed.
Directions
Two to three nights a week, building up as your skin allows. Apply a thin layer to cleansed skin before bed, avoiding the eye area. Follow with a broad-spectrum SPF every morning.

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.
