Collection: DP Dermaceuticals Skincare

Cosmeceutical skincare developed for microneedling results

DP Dermaceuticals is an Australian cosmeceutical brand launched in 2011 as the world’s first meso-infusion skincare line specifically for use during and after microneedling. The products were developed by DermapenWorld, the company behind the iconic Dermapen device, and are now used by thousands of clinics in more than 70 countries.

For those investing in professional skin treatments or following a serious skincare routine at home, DP Dermaceuticals offers a complete architecture: from targeted serums with patented HylaFuse technology to LED devices with clinically proven wavelengths. The range is built around six main categories, each playing a specific role in a results-driven skincare routine.

Why choose DP Dermaceuticals?

DP Dermaceuticals stands out because of its origin story: the skincare line was not created from a marketing strategy but from a clinical need. When DermapenWorld launched the first automated microneedling pen in 2010, it became clear that existing skincare products on the market were not suitable as meso-glide during treatment. The ingredient palettes were insufficiently purified, the concentrations not therapeutic enough, and the combinations not compatible with activated skin. This led to the creation of their own formulation line with three patented technologies that make DP Dermaceuticals a benchmark in the cosmeceutical industry: HylaFuse Complex, Calphasomes, and GGP. The products are used by thousands of skin therapists worldwide for pre- and post-procedure skincare and are clinically supported by millions of treatments.

The story behind the brand

DP Dermaceuticals is a subsidiary of DermapenWorld, founded by Australian medical developer Stene Marshall. The parent company Equipmed was established in Australia in 1976 and has developed medical equipment for the cosmetic industry for decades.

In 2010, Stene Marshall and a team of engineers launched the first automated Dermapen — a breakthrough that completely transformed the microneedling industry. When it became clear that no existing skincare line met the requirements for use during a Dermapen treatment, the first DP Dermaceuticals product was launched in 2011. Co-founder Corri Matthews joined as Cosmeceutical Director and guided the brand’s formulation philosophy.

In 2018, the company launched the Dermapen 4, now the most widely used microneedling device in the world. In 2019, DermapenWorld was named one of the "Top 10 MedTech Solution Companies in APAC" by MedTech Outlook Magazine and received the title "Company of the Year." Today, DermapenWorld has direct representation in more than 50 countries, and over 3 million treatments have been performed worldwide using Dermapen technology and DP Dermaceuticals products.

The formulation philosophy

DP Dermaceuticals operates based on several core principles that run through all products. First is the meso-infusion concept: ingredients are formulated to optimally penetrate the skin through microchannels created during a microneedling treatment. This requires a specific molecular structure, pure ingredients without potentially allergenic additives, and a pH compatible with activated skin.

Second, the brand uses three patented technologies. HylaFuse Complex is a hyaluronic acid formula with three different molecular weights that penetrate both superficial and deeper skin layers simultaneously, with a concentration of 35mg/ml and 150% better absorption than standard hyaluronic acid. Calphasomes is a delivery system based on hydroxyapatite and calcium that can transport both oils and water-soluble substances simultaneously to the correct skin layers. GGP technology focuses on telomere protection and cell renewal at the DNA level.

Third, the brand follows a protocol-based architecture: each product has a specific role within a treatment pathway, documented in clinical protocols followed by thousands of skin therapists. This makes DP Dermaceuticals a cosmeceutical line (medical-grade skincare at the intersection of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals) rather than a regular consumer market brand.

The product lines of DP Dermaceuticals

The range is built around six categories that together form a complete skincare routine. The DP Dermaceuticals Cleansers form the base with professional-strength cleansers such as the Tri-Phase Cleanser and the CLR Foam Cleanser, plus accessories like the Oscisonic Cleanser Head and the Cliniprep+ antimicrobial spray.

The DP Dermaceuticals Serums are the core line of the brand: focused on specific skin needs such as hydration, repair, anti-aging, and scar treatment. Here you’ll find iconic products like Hyla Active with HylaFuse technology and the highly praised Ssscar serum for scar treatment.

The DP Dermaceuticals Masks include three types: medical-grade LED devices (Face, Neck & Décolleté, Hand), hydrogel sheet masks specifically designed for use under LED, and clay masks for deep pore cleansing and pigment treatment.

The DP Dermaceuticals EXO-GROW line is a recent innovation from the brand focusing on hair and eyelash care with exosome technology — a breakthrough that positions DP Dermaceuticals as a pioneer in this new field of regenerative cosmetics.

The DP Dermaceuticals Correctors are intensive treatment products for specific skin issues such as pigmentation spots, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and dull skin — with active ingredients in therapeutic concentrations.

The DP Dermaceuticals Cover Recover SPF line combines sun protection with tinted coverage, developed to protect the skin immediately after a microneedling treatment without burdening the regenerating skin cells.

The bestsellers

Within the broad range, several products stand out due to their consistent popularity and clinical results. The Tri-Phase Cleanser 150ml is one of the brand’s best-known cleansers thanks to its triple transformation from balm to gel to cleansing milk. The Hyla Active 30ml is DP Dermaceuticals’ flagship product worldwide thanks to the HylaFuse technology at the highest possible concentration.

The Exo-Skin Exosome Serum 30ml is the brand’s latest innovation, focusing on skin repair at the cellular level through exosome technology. The Hyla Active 3D Sculptured Mask is a consistent favorite as a finishing step for microneedling treatments thanks to its immediate cooling and hydrating effect.

For hair and eyelash care, the Exo-Grow Lash & Brow Serum 7ml and the Exo-Grow Hair Tonic 50ml are in high demand due to their exosome backing. The tinted sun protection Cover Recover Sheer SPF30 and Cover Recover Beige SPF30 are popular as daily finishing steps in the routine, and the Ssscar 15ml is a specialist scar serum highly recommended after microneedling treatments for scars and stretch marks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DP Dermaceuticals developed for and who can use these products?

DP Dermaceuticals was originally developed as meso-glide skincare for use during microneedling treatments, but the products are also intended for daily home use. The formulas are designed to work both as professional in-clinic products and in a home routine without microneedling. Anyone who values quality and clinical support can use this line — not just patients undergoing microneedling treatments.

What is the difference between DP Dermaceuticals and regular drugstore skincare?

DP Dermaceuticals is a cosmeceutical brand, meaning it sits between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The ingredient concentrations are therapeutically high, the formulas are clinically tested for compatibility with activated skin, and patented technologies like HylaFuse and Calphasomes are not available in standard skincare. Additionally, the brand works with a protocol-based architecture where each product fulfills a specific role.

Are DP Dermaceuticals products suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, most products are specifically developed for sensitive and irritated skin because they are designed for use on freshly treated skin cells. The formulas contain no fragrance, no alcohol, and no harsh preservatives. For those with very sensitive skin, we recommend starting with the Hyla Active or the CLR line — these are formulated to be extra gentle.

How do I combine DP Dermaceuticals with other skincare brands?

DP Dermaceuticals follows its own protocol architecture optimized so that the products work synergistically. That doesn’t mean you can’t combine with other brands — for example, you can combine a DP Dermaceuticals cleanser with another serum — but for optimal results, we recommend keeping the entire routine within the brand, especially if you are undergoing a microneedling treatment plan.
