Why choose Dr Schrammek?

The strength of the brand lies in the combination of tradition and science. Every product is developed under dermatological supervision and contains active ingredients in concentrations also used in professional treatments. Worldwide, thousands of skin therapists and dermatologists work with Dr Schrammek, and the brand is available in more than sixty countries. The brand has been recognized as a Great Place to Work® and awarded the Prix d'Honneur de la Beauté for the lifetime achievement of Dr. med. Christine Schrammek-Drusio. Besides cosmetics, Dr Schrammek is world-famous for the GREEN PEEL® Herbal Peeling and the original Blemish Balm, the product that started the international BB cream trend.

The story behind the brand

The story of Dr Schrammek begins in the post-war years, when founder Christine Schrammek, after giving up her medical studies, found her passion in professional cosmetics. In 1958, she developed the original GREEN PEEL® Herbal Peeling, an herbal treatment still used today by skin therapists worldwide. Six years later, she opened her first institute in Essen, followed in 1967 by the establishment of the in-house Vocational School for Holistic Cosmetics and the launch of the original Blemish Balm, the world’s first BB Cream. In 1988, her daughter Dr. med. Christine Schrammek-Drusio joined the company, and in 1998 she became the first dermatologist ever to launch her own doctor’s brand: the Dr. med. Christine Schrammek skincare line. For this lifetime achievement, she received the Prix d'Honneur de la Beauté in 2018. Since 2013, Alexander Drusio leads the company as the third generation, while his sister Christina Drusio, also a dermatologist, has been active in product development since 2020. In 2022, the headquarters moved to Düsseldorf, where the flagship store, vocational school, and international training center are now united under one roof.

The formulation philosophy

Dr Schrammek’s formulas always start from a medically substantiated approach. All products are developed under the dermatological supervision of Dr. med. Christine Schrammek-Drusio and her daughter Christina Drusio, with active ingredients in concentrations that match professional treatment levels. The brand follows a strict ingredient policy: all formulas are free from parabens, mineral oil, silicones, and PEG-containing emulsifiers, making them suitable even for the most demanding and sensitive skin. Clinical studies support the effectiveness of the specialist lines, such as the 56-day study on the Brightening series, which showed a brightening effect in 89% of participants. Sustainability is an integral part of the business: Dr Schrammek is cruelty-free, operates 100% on green electricity, uses FSC-mix certified packaging, and maintains a climate-neutral shipping process. With this combination of medical expertise, clinically tested active ingredients, and sustainable responsibility, Dr Schrammek clearly positions itself in the dermo-cosmetic segment.

Dr Schrammek product lines

The range is built around different skin needs. Each line focuses on a specific issue with targeted active ingredients, so you can choose exactly what suits your skin.

The Regulating line is developed for impure, oily, and combination skin. The products regulate sebum production, soothe inflamed spots, and help visibly reduce clogged pores. A balanced base for those struggling with pimples, blackheads, or a shiny T-zone.

The Essential line forms the foundation for daily skincare. Cleansers, toners, and basic care products suitable for all skin types that complete every routine, from gentle cleansing to light hydration.

The Sensitive and Sensiderm line is designed for sensitive, reactive, and irritated skin. The formulas contain soothing active ingredients that reduce redness and strengthen the skin barrier. Also suitable for skin with couperose or rosacea.

The Hydra Maximum line targets dehydrated skin that needs intensive moisture. With hyaluronic acid, ectoine, and niacinamide, this line restores moisture levels in the deeper skin layers and gives the skin a plump, supple appearance.

The Ageless Future and Time Control line combines the brand’s anti-aging expertise. These products focus on fine lines, loss of firmness, and tired skin cells, with innovative ingredients such as bakuchiol and the award-winning Olea VitaePLF technology.

The Brightening and Mela White line is dermatologically developed for skin with hyperpigmentation, melasma, and sun spots. The so-called melanobreaker formulas intervene at multiple stages of melanin production for a visibly more even complexion.

The Beauty Elements, Body, Men and Hair line gathers supplementary care such as body products, sun protection, men’s care, and hair care. Here you’ll find targeted solutions that complete your facial routine.

Which skin type is Dr Schrammek suitable for?

The brand’s broad orientation means there is a suitable line for almost every skin type. For dry and dehydrated skin, the Hydra Maximum line offers intensive hydration, while the Sensitive line provides relief for sensitive, reactive skin. Oily and impure skin benefits from the Regulating line that restores sebum balance. Mature skin showing signs of aging finds targeted support in the Ageless Future and Time Control line.

The brand also offers targeted solutions for specific skin concerns. For hyperpigmentation, melasma, or post-inflammatory spots, the Brightening line provides a comprehensive approach. For skin recovering after a professional treatment, such as a GREEN PEEL® or laser treatment, the Sensiderm and Essential products are a safe choice.
