Dr.SANTE: The Korean Aesthetic Clinic Brand Trusted by 8,000+ Clinics, Now in Singapore
Some brands say they are clinic-grade. Dr.SANTE has been proving it for over 23 years.
Dr.SANTE - until people start telling you how great your skin is.
That is the promise behind the brand, and it is one that 8,000+ aesthetic clinics across 30 countries have staked their professional reputation on. When a dermatologist or aesthetician recommends a product to a client, they are not making a marketing decision. They are making a clinical one. The fact that Dr.SANTE has been the choice in over 8,000 professional clinic settings for over two decades says more about what these products actually do than any campaign could.
Founded in 2003 by Sante Cosmetics Co., Ltd. in Busan, Korea, Dr.SANTE is a specialist aesthetic cosmetics brand built from the ground up for clinic use. Not adapted for clinics, not inspired by clinics — built for them. In 2024 and 2025, it was named First and Best Brand Chosen by Consumers in the aesthetic specialty brand category, an award hosted by the Chosun Ilbo.
At Dear Glow, we are the official distributor of Dr.SANTE in Singapore. Here is what makes this brand different from everything else on the shelf, and how to find the right products for your skin.
What Is Dr.SANTE?
The name comes from the French word for health. Sante Cosmetics believes that health is the most fundamental starting point for skin, and that philosophy runs through every product in the Dr.SANTE range.
Since its establishment in 2003, Sante Cosmetics has specialised in aesthetic cosmetics — products designed specifically to soothe the skin, planned and developed based on a large body of data collected from skin concerns across thousands of clinic customers over two decades. The brand does not chase trends or adjust formulas to fit market pricing. The goal has always been to create cosmetics with skin-improving ingredients that are safe and effective regardless of what is fashionable at the time.
Dr.SANTE has received international certifications for key markets including the UK (SCPN), China (NMPA), Japan, and Vietnam (DAV), and has been recognised with the Minister of SMEs and Startups Award in Korea on multiple occasions.
The brand's core belief is simple: the foundation of every skin concern is hydration and soothing. Every product is built on that belief.
Why Dear Glow Chose Dr.SANTE
Singapore's climate is one of the more demanding environments for skin. Heat, humidity, UV exposure year-round, and the constant cycle of air conditioning — skin here runs hot, dehydrated, and reactive more often than people realise. Most skincare brands are formulated for temperate climates where these conditions are seasonal. Dr.SANTE was built for skin that needs consistent soothing and deep hydration as a baseline, not an occasional fix.
We also looked at the track record. Over 23 years in a notoriously demanding industry, 8,000+ clinic partners, a First and Best Brand Chosen by Consumers award for two consecutive years (2024 and 2025), and international certifications across multiple markets. Dr.SANTE is not a brand that grew quickly on social media hype. It grew slowly and steadily because the products genuinely work in professional clinic environments, which is a harder bar to clear than winning over online shoppers.
The Azulene Soother Series in particular is exactly what Dear Glow looks for in a skincare line. It is formulated for sensitive and irritated skin without compromising on efficacy. It performs in clinics used post-procedure. And it is built on ingredient integrity rather than marketing claims. That combination is rarer than it should be.
The Dr.SANTE Range at Dear Glow
We currently carry the full Azulene Soother Series lineup, along with the Artemisia AKA Semi-Gel Mask and Collagen Leader Mask as targeted treatment additions. We have plans to expand the Dr.SANTE range further. All Dr.SANTE products at Dear Glow are listed under the Clinic Exclusive tab, reflecting their professional clinic origins.
Azulene Soother Series
The Azulene Soother Series is Dr.SANTE's flagship line and the product range that established the brand's reputation in Korean aesthetic clinics. The core philosophy of the series is to replenish moisture from within the skin, control the oil-water balance, and increase the skin's basic physical resilience for long-term skin health.
The key to understanding this line is the base formula. Instead of purified water, which is standard in most skincare, every product in the Azulene Soother Series uses Azulene and Chamomile flower water as its liquid base. Azulene is a natural compound derived from chamomile that is well known for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. Using it as the base rather than an ingredient means the soothing effect is built into the foundation of each product, not added as a functional claim on top of a water base.
Hyaluronic acid runs through the series as a moisture-binding ingredient, supplying hydration to each layer of the skin and maintaining elasticity deep into the dermis. The result is a line that works for sensitive, irritated, dry, and post-procedure skin without the reactive episodes that more aggressive formulas can trigger.
Azulene Soother Cleansing Milk
The first step in any routine is the cleanser, and the Azulene Soother Cleansing Milk is where the series begins. It removes makeup and impurities without stripping the skin's moisture barrier, using the Azulene and Chamomile water base to leave skin calm and hydrated immediately after cleansing. For skin that typically feels tight or uncomfortable after washing, this is a meaningful difference from standard cleansers.

Active Cleansing Soother
A deeper cleansing option within the Soother Series, the Active Cleansing Soother is designed for more thorough removal of impurities and excess sebum while maintaining the series' soothing-first approach. It suits skin that needs more active cleansing without sacrificing the gentle, moisture-retaining finish that defines the Azulene line. It is also suitable for use on the body, making it a versatile option for head-to-toe soothing cleansing.

Azulene Soother Toner
The toner functions as the essential starter step for the full Azulene Soother routine, delivering immediate hydration to dry and sensitive skin while preparing it for the steps that follow. The Azulene and Chamomile water base provides instant calming on contact, which is particularly noticeable on skin that is heat-sensitised or post-procedure reactive.
There are three ways to use it. Apply directly onto the face with your hands for a quick daily hydration step. Soak a cotton pad and leave it on skin as a toner pack for 5 to 10 minutes for an intensive hydration boost. Or fill a bubble toner bottle with the toner and apply as a bubble toner — this is actually the Dear Glow Founder's personal favourite way to use it, and one that regular customers swear by. The bubble application spreads the toner more evenly and gives skin a noticeably plumper, smoother finish.
It is also one of the most popular products in the Dr.SANTE range at Dear Glow - along with the Lotion, it sells out consistently and is worth stocking up on when it is available.

Azulene Soother Lotion (Face and Body)
A lightweight lotion that extends the Azulene Soother routine from face to body, providing moisture and soothing care across the full skin surface. Practical for daily application and formulated to the same standards as the rest of the Soother Series - no compromise on ingredient integrity just because the application area is larger. Along with the Toner, it is one of the most consistently popular products in the Dr.SANTE range at Dear Glow.

Azulene Soother Ampoule
The concentrated treatment step in the Soother Series. The Azulene Soother Ampoule delivers a higher concentration of the series' active ingredients directly into the skin, providing intensive soothing, moisture-binding, and barrier support. It is the step to reach for when skin is particularly reactive, when you are in a post-procedure recovery phase, or when you want to push the results of the Soother routine further.

Azulene Soother Sun Essence 75g
Sunscreen is the step that determines whether everything else in your routine actually holds. The Azulene Soother Sun Essence extends the soothing and hydrating philosophy of the Soother Series into daily UV protection, making it a genuinely functional final step rather than just an SPF layer sitting on top of your skincare. The essence texture absorbs without residue, which makes it practical for Singapore's climate where heavier SPF formulas can feel oppressive. Clinically tested and verified for effectiveness in professional skin settings.

Azulene Semi-Gel Mask (10 Sheets)
A clinic-grade treatment mask for use when skin needs more than a daily routine can deliver. The semi-gel texture adheres closely to the skin, ensuring the concentrated Azulene and active ingredients make full contact rather than evaporating through a loose-fitting sheet. Use it after sun exposure, after a procedure, or whenever your skin signals that it needs intensive recovery. Ten sheets per box makes it practical for regular use rather than an occasional treat.

Artemisia AKA Series
Where the Azulene Soother Series is built around soothing and hydration, the Artemisia AKA Series is specifically designed for sensitive and reactive skin dealing with excess sebum and enlarged pores. The series uses Artemisia Capillary Extract as its base instead of purified water, an ingredient that helps calm irritated skin and improve skin clarity. Key actives include AKA-DERM™, which provides antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects to quickly soothe skin sensitised by trouble, and LHA-SOL™, which gently removes sebum and dead skin cells without irritation while returning the skin's pH to a slightly acidic, healthy state. We currently carry the AKA Semi-Gel Mask as an entry point into this line.
Artemisia AKA Semi-Gel Mask (5 Sheets)
The AKA Series treatment mask, bringing the antibacterial and pore-refining actives of the series into a concentrated mask format. The semi-gel material adheres closely to the skin for effective ingredient delivery, and the 5-sheet format is well suited as a targeted treatment alongside your regular routine rather than a replacement for it.

Collagen Leader Series
The Collagen Leader Series addresses skin that is losing elasticity and volume - sagging, ageing skin that needs targeted structural support rather than surface-level hydration. The core ingredient is STEMAX, a self-developed raw material containing up to 33 times more Growth Factors, Cytokines, and Proteins than Human Stem Cell Culture Medium. It works alongside 6 types of peptides, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Provence Rose water, and Vitamin B12 to restore vitality to skin that has lost its original strength, fill in lost elasticity, and promote skin turnover for improved skin tone and health. We currently carry the Collagen Leader Mask as an entry point into this line.
Collagen Leader Mask (10 Sheets)
The Collagen Leader Series treatment mask, delivering the STEMAX growth factor complex and collagen actives in a high-contact mask format. It is the most advanced mask in the Dr.SANTE range at Dear Glow, designed for skin with anti-ageing as a primary concern. Ten sheets per box supports regular use as part of a structured anti-ageing routine.

How to Build a Dr.SANTE Routine
The Dr.SANTE range is designed to work as a complete system or as individual products depending on your skin's needs.
For sensitive and dehydrated skin: The full Azulene Soother Series is your routine. Cleansing Milk to remove, Toner to hydrate and calm, Ampoule for intensive treatment, Lotion to seal in moisture, and Sun Essence to protect throughout the day. Every step uses the same Azulene and Chamomile water base, so the soothing benefit compounds across the routine rather than appearing only at one step.
For post-procedure recovery: Start with the Azulene Soother Toner and Ampoule as your immediate soothing steps, add the Sun Essence during the day, and use the Azulene Semi-Gel Mask 2 to 3 times a week for intensive barrier support. The entire Soother Series was designed around exactly this use case - it is what 8,000+ clinics have been using it for.
For oily, congested, or pore-focused skin: The Artemisia AKA Semi-Gel Mask works as a targeted treatment mask alongside any routine. Use it 2 to 3 times a week as an intensive pore-refining step.
For anti-ageing as the primary concern: The Collagen Leader Mask is the targeted treatment step. Use it alongside the Azulene Soother daily routine for a combination of structural anti-ageing support and consistent barrier hydration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dr.SANTE available anywhere else in Singapore?
Dear Glow is the official distributor of Dr.SANTE in Singapore. You will not find Dr.SANTE at Olive Young, Watsons, Guardian, or any other local retailer. All Dr.SANTE products sold at Dear Glow are sourced directly from Sante Cosmetics Co., Ltd. in Korea.
What does "Clinic Exclusive" mean on the Dr.SANTE products?
The Clinic Exclusive label reflects the professional clinic origins of the Dr.SANTE range. These are formulas developed for and used in aesthetic clinics and beauty centres - the same products that 8,000+ clinics across 30 countries use professionally. Dear Glow makes them available for home use in Singapore, but the formulas are not adapted or diluted from their clinical versions.
Is Dr.SANTE suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Sensitive skin is the primary focus of the brand. Dr.SANTE was established specifically to create cosmetics for skin soothing, and the Azulene Soother Series uses Azulene and Chamomile flower water as its base rather than purified water, making soothing a structural property of the formula rather than a secondary benefit. All Dr.SANTE products have been clinically tested for skin safety.
Can I use Dr.SANTE products after aesthetic procedures?
Yes. The Azulene Soother Series is used in post-procedure settings across 8,000+ clinics worldwide. For home use after laser, peel, or other treatments, the Toner and Ampoule are the primary calming steps, with the Semi-Gel Mask as an intensive recovery treatment 2 to 3 times a week. Always follow your clinic's specific post-procedure guidance on timing and product use.
What is the difference between the Azulene Soother Series and the Artemisia AKA Series?
The Azulene Soother Series is built around hydration and soothing as its core function - it suits all skin types, especially sensitive, dry, and post-procedure skin, and we carry the full lineup at Dear Glow. The Artemisia AKA Series is specifically targeted at sensitive skin dealing with excess sebum, enlarged pores, and congestion, with antibacterial and pH-balancing actives alongside the soothing base. We currently carry the AKA Semi-Gel Mask as a targeted treatment add-on to your Azulene Soother routine.
What is the Collagen Leader Series for?
The Collagen Leader Series targets skin elasticity and anti-ageing. Its key ingredient STEMAX contains significantly higher concentrations of growth factors than standard stem cell culture mediums, and the series is designed for skin that is losing structural firmness and vitality.
