The Dermaviduals Difference: What Is DMS?

The Dermaviduals Difference: What Is DMS?

The core of Dermaviduals' philosophy is rooted in corneotherapy — the science of maintaining and restoring the skin barrier. This specialized approach respects the skin as a living organ, using formulations that mimic its natural structure and support its function to maintain health and integrity. Since every person’s skin is unique, Dermaviduals products are designed for a customized approach, addressing specific skin types and conditions with precision.

Produced in top-tier, aseptic laboratories, Dermaviduals' corneotherapeutic products are crafted to remain free from unwanted microorganisms and do not require traditional preservatives.

What is DMS?

The Derma Membrane Structure (DMS) in Dermaviduals products is composed of skin-compatible lipids that mimic the natural layers of the skin barrier. Unlike conventional creams, DMS doesn’t disrupt the skin’s protective function; instead, it works in harmony with the skin's own structure, replenishing and strengthening the barrier. The DMS components include ceramides, phospholipids, and triglycerides—key building blocks of healthy skin that support barrier repair, hydration, and resilience, making DMS especially beneficial for sensitive or compromised skin.

 

What are Delivery Systems?

Dermaviduals uses advanced delivery systems to enhance the efficacy and safety of active ingredients in their formulations. Key to this approach are liposomes and nanoparticles—microscopic carriers that encapsulate active ingredients, allowing them to fuse with the skin’s lipid layers and reach deeper skin levels without causing irritation. These delivery systems ensure that ingredients are released gradually and in their purest form, enabling efficient and controlled penetration through the skin barrier. This approach not only enhances the effectiveness of each product but also ensures that sensitive or compromised skin receives active ingredients in a safe, skin-compatible way.

With over 40 active serums encapsulated in liposomes or nanoparticles, the range is designed to merge seamlessly with the skin's lipid layers, promoting deep and effective penetration. Upon release, these active ingredients safely permeate the skin barrier, ensuring efficient and precise delivery.

 

 

Who Should Use Dermaviduals?

At Face Club, supporting the skin barrier is central to our philosophy of achieving long-term skin health. We believe that all skin types benefit from prioritizing barrier care, as a resilient barrier optimizes the skin’s response to active ingredients and in-clinic treatments.

  • Sensitized Skin: The gentle formulations are excellent at putting out the fire in sensitized skin. It is especially great for eczema, rosacea, dermatitis, and other inflammatory conditions.
  • Acne-Prone Skin: The traditional approach with acne is harsh, aggressive products and treatments that strip the skin of its oils. The corneotherapeutic approach addresses the underlying causes, balances oil production, and allows for active ingredients like Vitamin A and Salicylic Acid to work more effectively.
  • Dry Skin: Dermaviduals products focus on restoring hydration to alleviate dryness and improve moisture retention
  • Aging Skin: Certain Dermaviduals products contain ingredients that promote elasticity, firmness, and overall skin health to improve visible signs of aging.

By strengthening this first line of defense, we create a stable foundation that enhances product absorption, reduces irritation, and helps skin retain essential moisture. This approach ensures that treatments can work at their best, promoting healthier, more balanced skin over time.

Conclusion

Dermaviduals products stand out due to their corneotherapeutic approach, which prioritizes the health and integrity of the epidermis rather than stripping it of its natural oils. Unlike many conventional treatments that use aggressive methods like peeling, dermaplaning, or manual dermabrasion to remove the outer layer of skin, Dermaviduals formulations work to support and restore the skin barrier. This gentle approach focuses on nourishing and protecting the skin, allowing it to heal naturally while enhancing its function, leading to healthier, more resilient skin without the risk of irritation or damage associated with harsher techniques.
