Dermaviduals: My approach to skin health
What is Dermaviduals?
Dermaviduals is a German-developed skincare system built on the principles of corneotherapy. Rather than relying on synthetic fillers, fragrances, or one size fits all formulations, it uses biomimetic ingredients, meaning ingredients that closely mimic the skin’s own natural composition, to support and repair the skin barrier from the outside in.
The range includes both off-the-shelf products and fully modular formulations, which can be tailored to an individual’s specific skin needs. This means your homecare regime isn’t a generic list of products pulled off a shelf, it’s built around what your skin is actually doing, and adjusted as that changes over time.
Dermaviduals uses advanced delivery systems, including nanoparticles and liposomes, to carry active ingredients where they’re needed within the skin, rather than leaving them to sit on the surface. It’s a brand I trust enough to use across every stage of life, from the gentlest formulations suitable for babies through to targeted treatments for mature, hormonally changing skin.
Why I chose Dermaviduals
When it comes to transforming skin health, I refuse to compromise.
Unlike conventional brands that rely on emulsifiers and preservatives that disrupt your skin barrier, Dermaviduals pioneered the revolutionary DMS® (Derma Membrane Structure) technology that actually mimics your skin’s natural biology.
Their formulations contain ingredients that are found in your skin cells, creating products that your skin recognises as “self” rather than foreign invaders. This means active ingredients aren’t just sitting on your skin; they’re being transported precisely where they need to work through advanced liposomal delivery systems.
Dermaviduals allows me the flexibility and precision of being able to custom-blend targeted active ingredients for your specific skin concerns; whether it’s strengthening capillaries, reducing inflammation, or supporting collagen production, creating truly bespoke skincare that evolves with your skin. The difference isn’t just visible; it’s measurable in the form of a stronger, more resilient barrier that continues improving over time.
How Dermaviduals Works
Dermaviduals is built around a simple idea: skin responds best to ingredients it already recognises. The formulations are designed to be biomimetic, closely matching the skin’s own natural lipid structure.
A key part of how this works is the delivery system. Many Dermaviduals products use nanoparticles and liposomes, tiny carriers that act a bit like a ‘taxi service’ for active ingredients, transporting them to where they’re actually needed within the skin. This is part of what makes the results feel different to conventional skincare, the actives aren’t just applied, they’re delivered.
The system is also modular, which means individual products can be adjusted and combined specifically for you. So rather than buying a fixed set of products and sticking with them regardless of how your skin changes, your regime can be rebuilt as your skin’s needs shift, whether that’s due to hormonal changes, the seasons, or how your skin is responding to treatment.
Even the cleanser reflects this thinking, formulated to be biomimetic enough that it’s sometimes described as “skin in a bottle,” gentle enough to support the barrier.
This is also why Dermaviduals strengthens the first line of the skin’s defence rather than just treating what’s visible on the surface. It supports the skin’s own systems at a cellular level.
What This Means for Your Skin
In practical terms, choosing Dermaviduals means your homecare regime is built around your skin, not the other way round. If you’re dealing with sensitivity, hormonal breakouts, redness, or persistent dryness, you’re not being handed a generic routine and hoping for the best, you’re getting products formulated to work with what’s actually going on beneath the surface.
For many of my clients, particularly those navigating perimenopause or the menopause, this matters more than ever. Hormonal changes can affect the skin barrier significantly, leading to reactivity, dehydration, or breakouts that never used to be an issue. Because the formulations can be adjusted as your skin changes, your regime doesn’t need to start from scratch every time your skin shifts, it evolves with you, building a skin barrier that’s genuinely resilient and strong rather than chasing a quick fix.
Getting Started with Dermaviduals
Dermaviduals isn’t available to buy online. Because the formulations are so closely tailored to individual skin, I only ever recommend and provide it as part of an in-depth consultation, so what you’re using is genuinely right for your skin rather.
If you’d like to start using Dermaviduals as your homecare, I’d love to see you for a skin consultation at one of my Yorkshire locations; The Acorn Wellness Retreat Nr Harrogate, Meraki Coffee, Yoga and Wellness Elland, or Amanda Crawshaw Acupuncture in Silsden, alternatively I am also available for online consultation, via video, if you’re further afield.
From there, I’ll assess your skin and build a regime around what it actually needs, with everything available to purchase directly through me afterwards.
Your skin doesn’t stay the same, so neither should your regime. I review and adjust your Dermaviduals formulations on an ongoing basis, so what you’re using continues to match what your skin needs as it changes.
