DermaCentric: The Korean Clinic Skincare Brand Now Available in Singapore
Most skincare brands say they are dermatologist-tested. DermaCentric is a brand that was built for dermatologists.
Sold in over 700 dermatology clinics and plastic surgery centres across 12 countries, DermaCentric is a Korean cosmeceutical brand developed specifically for clinical skin environments. Cosmeceutical is a term that combines cosmetics and pharmaceutical - functional cosmetics formulated with medically proven ingredients. Every DermaCentric product is built to be safer and less irritating than general cosmetics, with actives that have been clinically proven to work.
At Dear Glow, we are the exclusive distributor of DermaCentric in Singapore. These are clinic-trusted formulas, now available for your daily home routine. Here is what makes the brand different, why we chose to carry it, and how to find the right products for your skin.
What Is DermaCentric?
DermaCentric operates out of a professional laboratory with more than 18 years of experience developing over 700 types of cosmetics. The lab specialises in formulating products for dermatology and plastic surgery hospitals, and its approach centres on combining effective natural ingredients with advanced biotechnology to create products optimised for sensitive skin.
The entire DermaCentric skincare range is manufactured by Kolmar Korea, one of the world's leading cosmetics OEM/ODM companies and the manufacturer behind many of Korea's most trusted skincare brands. This is not a detail that tends to be front and centre in marketing materials, but for anyone who knows the Korean cosmetics industry, it speaks directly to the standard of formulation and production quality behind every product.
Three principles run through every product in the range. First, hypoallergenic formulation with paraben-free and EWG Green-rated ingredients. Second, effective delivery of active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin, not just onto the surface. Third, minimising artificial chemical composition to reduce irritation risk while maximising clinical results.
DermaCentric has received functional ingredient certification from the Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety across four categories: wrinkle improvement, whitening, hair loss relief, and UV protection. The brand also holds vegan certification from two independent European authorities, EVE in France and V-LABEL in Italy, covering products across the range.
For sensitive skin that has tried everything and found most products either ineffective or reactive, DermaCentric is a genuinely different tier of formulation.
Why Dear Glow Chose DermaCentric
When we built the Dear Glow catalog, we were looking for brands that could answer a very specific brief: dermatology-grade efficacy, without the trade-off of irritation. That combination is harder to find than it sounds.
A lot of high-performance skincare works by pushing active concentrations to the edge of what sensitive skin can handle. DermaCentric takes a different route. The delivery systems, the ingredient selection, the clinical testing environment - all of it is designed from the ground up for skin that is already compromised or reactive. You get the clinical results without the skin having to earn them through a difficult adjustment period.
We also looked closely at what was behind DermaCentric's numbers. The 500,000+ units sold for the Derma-7 Repair Cream across 12 countries is not a marketing figure. It reflects adoption in professional clinical settings, which is a much harder audience to win than consumers browsing a beauty store. Dermatologists and plastic surgeons are results-driven. If the products were not working in-clinic, they would not still be on the shelves of 700+ clinics worldwide.
That track record, combined with Kolmar Korea manufacturing and formulas that are genuinely safe for sensitive and post-procedure skin, made DermaCentric the clear choice for Dear Glow. It is exactly the kind of brand we built this store to carry.
The DermaCentric Range at Dear Glow
We carry eight DermaCentric products across four categories: skin repair, acne care, brightening, and sun protection. Here is a breakdown of each line and what it is designed to do.
Skin Repair
Derma-7 Repair Cream 40ml
If you are new to DermaCentric, start here. The Derma-7 Repair Cream is the brand's hero product and its most widely sold formula, with over 500,000 units sold across 12 countries.
The key active ingredients are Madecassoside, Centella Extract, and Ceramide NP. Madecassoside is a purified derivative of Centella asiatica, clinically proven to restore the skin barrier and calm inflammation. Ceramide NP replenishes the lipid layer that protects against moisture loss. Together, these actives deliver a clinically proven 22.59% improvement in skin soothing.
The Derma-7 was originally developed for use after laser procedures. It is also an exceptional daily repair cream for skin that is sensitised, dry, or in need of barrier rebuilding. Post-laser, post-peel, or simply post-a-lot-of-stress on your skin, this is the cream that brings it back.
Best for: Barrier repair, post-procedure recovery, sensitive and reactive skin, daily moisturising for skin that needs calming support.

Ultimate Rejuvenation PDRN Spicule Ampoule 50ml
This is the product that gets the most questions from customers, and once people understand how it works, it tends to become a long-term staple.
The Spicule Ampoule uses ultra-fine PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) spicules, smaller in diameter than your pores, to physically deliver active ingredients deep into the skin. Each ampoule contains 570,000 high-purity (99%) PDRN spicules at a density of 2,000 shots, with a spicule size of 15μm. These microscopic delivery channels penetrate into the dermis layer, allowing actives to be absorbed deep into the skin rather than staying on the surface. The brand describes it as a premium ampoule with a beauty device concept.
Clinical results after a single use:
- Pore size reduction: 24.13% improvement
- Skin texture improvement: 6.07% improvement
- Skin irritation test: Irritation level 0.00 (non-irritating)
It is a 3-day cycle functional ampoule. Use it as an intensive treatment rather than a daily step, applying at night every 2 to 3 days, and give the spicules time to do their work between applications.
Best for: Enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, anyone wanting to improve ingredient absorption across their full routine.
Shop PDRN Spicule Ampoule (S$53)
10GF Volumizing Ampoule (10ml x 5)
The most premium treatment in the DermaCentric lineup, and the most serious anti-ageing formula we carry at Dear Glow.
The 10GF Volumizing Ampoule is formulated with EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), structurally similar to the DNA of human placenta, alongside 10 growth factors including EGF, IGF, acidic FGF, basic FGF, VEGF, TGF-beta, KGF, SCF, NGF, and PGF. This combination promotes the skin's natural regeneration process to improve elasticity and deliver anti-ageing results at a cellular level. It also contains Shine Volumer, which promotes hyaluronic acid synthesis and has a plumping effect, alongside carnosine, elastin, ferulic acid, collagen, ginseng extract, and Ceramide NP.
Clinical tests after 2 weeks of use:
- Skin moisture improvement: 74.79%
- Periocular wrinkle improvement: 9.22%
- Skin density improvement: 8.96%
- Skin irritation test: Irritation level 0.00 (non-irritating)
This is a structured 5-week intensive program, five ampoules of 10ml each. It is designed to be used as a course rather than an ongoing serum. For anyone serious about anti-ageing results at a clinical level without in-clinic procedures, this is DermaCentric at its most powerful.
Best for: Anti-ageing, loss of elasticity, fine lines, anyone wanting a growth factor treatment at home.

Acne Care Line: Trouble Shooter
The Trouble Shooter line is DermaCentric's dedicated solution for skin that breaks out, reacts easily, or stays in a persistent cycle of irritation. Both products in this line are built on the same core system, so they work together as a complete acne-care routine, or independently depending on what your skin needs.
The shared hero ingredients across the Trouble Shooter line are DENDRICLEAR™ and TECA-BIOME. DENDRICLEAR™ is a patented raw material that won the In-cosmetics Award 2021 Gold. It is applied using amino acid-derived dendrimers, a branching molecular delivery system that allows precise, targeted delivery of active ingredients to troubled areas. TECA-BIOME is a proprietary blend of Centella asiatica extract and Probiotics designed to balance the skin's oil and moisture levels and support a healthy skin microbiome. Both products carry V-LABEL Vegan Certification from Italy and completed hypoallergenic testing.
Trouble Shooter Cleansing Foam 120ml
A consistent, barrier-friendly routine has to start with the right cleanser, and most cleansers for acne-prone skin over-correct. They strip oil, disrupt the skin barrier, and leave skin tight and reactive, which often makes breakout cycles worse rather than better.
The Trouble Shooter Cleansing Foam takes a different approach. It uses a mildly acidic (pH 5.0 to 6.0) micro-creamy foam with amino acid surfactants to remove dirt and excess sebum without stripping the skin. It is formulated free of 20 types of caution ingredients. DENDRICLEAR™, Amino Acid, TECA-BIOME, and three types of Probiotics work alongside the cleanse to balance the skin microbiome and support the skin barrier simultaneously.
The result is a cleanser that addresses the microbiome and skin barrier at the same time as it cleans, rather than undoing them. Gentle enough for sensitive and dry skin types as well as oily and acne-prone, making it a versatile daily cleanser across the board.
Best for: Acne-prone, oily, and sensitive skin. Also suitable as a daily cleanser for anyone prioritising microbiome balance and barrier health.

Trouble Shooter Gel Cream 50ml
For skin that is reactive, breakout-prone, or dealing with persistent redness, this is DermaCentric's most targeted moisturiser.
The Trouble Shooter Gel Cream contains 4-Terpineol alongside DENDRICLEAR™, an active pairing that relieves various skin troubles and gently soothes irritated skin. The dendrimer delivery system gets the actives precisely where the skin needs them. TECA-BIOME balances oil and moisture so skin does not compensate for being over-dried by producing more sebum.
Clinical results show 249.90% improvement in skin barrier damage with just one use. The texture is lightweight and gel-based, non-occlusive and non-greasy, which makes it suitable as a daily moisturiser for oily or acne-prone skin, or as a targeted treatment for reactive zones on any skin type.
Best for: Acne-prone, oily, combination, and reactive skin. Pairs with the Trouble Shooter Cleansing Foam for a complete acne care routine.

Brightening Line
The DermaCentric Brightening Line targets hyperpigmentation, dark spots, dullness, and uneven skin tone through two products with different but complementary roles. The ampoule works as the intensive treatment step; the cream works as the daily maintenance moisturiser. Used together, they address pigmentation from multiple angles simultaneously.
14 Day Vita Whitening Ampoule 30ml
A clinically tested brightening ampoule with V-Label Vegan certification from Italy. If dullness, dark spots, or uneven tone is your primary concern, this is where to start in the DermaCentric brightening line.
The formula is built around 55% of DermaCentric's independently developed Vita White Complex, alongside Borealine Aurora at 20,000ppm. Borealine Aurora is an extract sourced from Canadian white pine trees that inhibits melanin synthesis. It is paired with 5% Niacinamide, Glutathione, and Alpha-Bisabolol for a multi-mechanism approach to skin brightening. Centella asiatica extract and three types of Probiotics support skin texture and soothing throughout.
Clinical freckle improvement test after 2 weeks of use: 9.91% improvement in melanin index. The formula is free of 20 types of caution ingredients and designed to deliver visible tone correction without irritating skin in the process.
Best for: Dullness, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone. Use as a brightening serum step before moisturiser.
Shop 14 Day Vita Whitening Ampoule (S$53)
Tranex Mela Zero Cream 50ml
The brightening cream that completes the DermaCentric brightening duo, and a strong standalone choice for anyone dealing with stubborn pigmentation.
Formulated with 3% Tranexamic Acid, 5% Niacinamide, Glutathione, and DermaCentric's proprietary PTD Liposome Complex, the Tranex Mela Zero Cream is clinically proven to improve dark spots and hyperpigmentation by 33.08% after two weeks of use, with a 5% reduction in melanin concentration over the same period. EGF and PDRN are also included in the formula, so it is doing active regeneration and barrier work alongside the brightening function.
Tranexamic Acid works differently from Niacinamide and Vitamin C. It targets melanin transfer between cells rather than melanin production itself, which makes it particularly effective on post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left by acne or eczema, as well as sun spots and melasma. The PTD Liposome Complex improves delivery of the active ingredients into the skin, which is the same delivery-focused thinking that runs across the whole DermaCentric range.
Best for: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, acne marks, sun spots, melasma, stubborn uneven tone. Pairs with the 14 Day Vita Whitening Ampoule for a complete brightening routine.

Sun Protection
Medi UV Mineral Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ 50ml
The only pure mineral sunscreen in the Dear Glow lineup, and one of the most clinically layered SPF products we carry.
Zinc oxide is the sole UV filter, meaning no chemical UV absorbers and no irritation risk for reactive or post-procedure skin. The formula uses a Fine Coating System that allows the sunscreen to adhere closely to the skin without stickiness, white cast, or stiffness. It is vegan certified, tested free from 30 harmful ingredients, holds a Skin Irritation Index of 0.00 (Non-Irritant), and is 100% Reef Safe.
What makes the Medi UV stand out beyond the filter is the supporting formula. Alongside zinc oxide, it contains 11 skin care ingredients including a Peptide Complex, Vitamin Complex, Resveratrol, Glutathione, Collagen, Madecassoside, and Asiaticoside. These protect against environmental stressors, support the skin barrier, and soothe the skin throughout the day. This is a treatment sunscreen. Not just UV protection, but active skincare built into your SPF step, which fits exactly with how DermaCentric approaches every product in the range.
Best for: Sensitive and reactive skin, post-procedure use, anyone wanting their sunscreen to do active skin work beyond UV protection.

How to Build a DermaCentric Routine
DermaCentric products work individually or as a layered system. Here is how to build based on your primary skin concern.
For acne-prone or reactive skin: Start with the Trouble Shooter Cleansing Foam and Trouble Shooter Gel Cream. Both are built on the DENDRICLEAR™ and TECA-BIOME system and designed to work together as a pair. Add the Medi UV Mineral Sunscreen during the day.
For post-procedure or barrier repair: The Derma-7 Repair Cream was developed specifically for this context. Use it as your primary moisturiser after laser, peel, or any in-clinic treatment, and layer the Medi UV Mineral Sunscreen over it during the day.
For anti-ageing: The 10GF Volumizing Ampoule is the key treatment step. Run it as a structured 5-week course, with the Derma-7 Repair Cream for daily barrier maintenance alongside.
For brightening and pigmentation: The 14 Day Vita Whitening Ampoule as your serum step, the Tranex Mela Zero Cream as your moisturiser. Pair both with the Medi UV Mineral Sunscreen to prevent further UV-triggered pigmentation. Without SPF, brightening treatments work uphill.
For pore improvement and texture: The PDRN Spicule Ampoule is your intensive treatment, used on a 3-day cycle at night. Support it with the Derma-7 Repair Cream for barrier care between sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is DermaCentric available anywhere else in Singapore?
No. Dear Glow is the exclusive distributor of DermaCentric in Singapore. DermaCentric is not available at Olive Young, Watsons, Guardian, or any other local retailer or online marketplace. You will only find it here at Dear Glow.
Is DermaCentric suitable for very sensitive skin?
Yes, it was designed for sensitive and compromised skin. Every DermaCentric product is hypoallergenic, paraben-free, and formulated with EWG Green-rated ingredients. The brand specialises in cosmetics for clinical environments, where skin is typically at its most reactive, so all formulas are built to perform without provoking irritation. The brand has also received functional ingredient certification from the Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
Can I use DermaCentric after aesthetic procedures?
Yes. The Derma-7 Repair Cream and Medi UV Mineral Sunscreen were specifically developed for post-procedure skin, after laser, chemical peel, or other treatments. The full DermaCentric range is used in clinical settings for this reason. If your skin is in recovery, the Trouble Shooter line is also gentle enough for use during the healing phase. The 10GF Volumizing Ampoule is also worth considering post-procedure — EGF and growth factors are well known for supporting skin regeneration and recovery. It is best introduced around 2 to 3 days after a procedure, once the skin has moved into the regeneration phase rather than the immediate recovery window.
What is the difference between the Trouble Shooter Cleansing Foam and the Trouble Shooter Gel Cream?
The Cleansing Foam is your first step, removing dirt and excess sebum without stripping the skin barrier, using a pH-balanced amino acid surfactant formula. The Gel Cream is your moisturising step, delivering targeted actives to reactive or troubled areas and rebalancing the skin's oil and moisture levels. They share the same DENDRICLEAR™ and TECA-BIOME system and are formulated to work as a pair, though each works independently as well.
What is the difference between the 14 Day Vita Whitening Ampoule and the Tranex Mela Zero Cream?
The ampoule is the intensive treatment step, built around 55% Vita White Complex and Borealine Aurora at 20,000ppm to inhibit melanin synthesis. The cream is the daily moisturising step, with 3% Tranexamic Acid targeting melanin transfer between cells through a different mechanism. Using both gives stronger results than either alone because they approach pigmentation from different angles.
What does cosmeceutical mean?
Cosmeceutical is a term that combines cosmetics and pharmaceutical. It refers to functional cosmetics formulated with medically proven ingredients that go beyond standard cosmetic efficacy. DermaCentric uses this positioning to reflect its clinical origins — products developed for hospital dermatology environments, not just consumer shelves.
Where can I buy DermaCentric in Singapore?
The full DermaCentric range is available exclusively at Dear Glow: dearglow.shop/collections/dermacentric. Free shipping on orders over S$50, with local delivery typically within 2 to 5 business days.
