Below we compiled a tips chart for the individual items in the DR’s Secret basic range.

Whether you are a freshman or a more experienced sophomore learning to derive your own formula, these will equip you to better customise your own routine and enjoy the maximum benefits each product can bring!

Cleanser 1

Foaming techniques

• Wash your hands with soap before using DR’s Secret Cleanser 1. This will help to remove oil and dirt, which makes for easier foaming.
• Lather the gel cleanser into a foam by adding small amounts of water while massaging with light circular strokes.
• Using too much strength or rubbing too hard will make it harder to foam.

Cleansing tips

• Using your fingertips instead of palms to massage the foam around your face helps to ensure that all areas of your skin are covered.

Toner T2

• Apply DR’s Secret Toner T2 using finger tips with gentle swipes. No rubbing or patting is needed.
• For more sensitive skin, use Moisturizer 6 instead and apply Toner T2 at a later stage after skin is more stable and well-conditioned.
• Whenever skin feels dry and thirsty, you can apply toner on cotton pad and place all over skin as a hydrating and soothing mask.

Skinlight T3

• Beginner: Mix 10 drops of DR’s Secret Skinlight T3 with 3 to 4 pumps of DR’s Secret Skinrecon T4 and apply.
• Intensive: Use T3 and T4 separately for boosted radiance effects.
• Use T3 with Spot Serum 8 to help with acne areas. Some purging might occur as skin renewal rate is increased.
• As T3 is a rich botanical brew of natural extracts, product colour may vary but efficacy is not affected.

Skinrecon T4

• DR’s Secret Skinrecon T4 can be used as a lightweight moisturiser in the day.

Sunscreen 5/5M

• Use DR’s Secret Sunscreen 5 for dry to normal skin for a dewy glow.
• Use DR’s Secret Sunscreen 5M for normal to oily skin for a matte fresh finish.
• Those with combination skin can try applying one layer of Sunscreen 5 followed by a layer of 5M.
• Always reapply sunscreen throughout the day, every 3 hours if under the hot sun.

Application techniques

• Press and roll sunscreen into the skin with fingertips instead of spreading to blend well.
• It is best to wait for your skin care products to be semi-dry on your skin before applying sunscreen to avoid white cast.

Moisturizer 6

• Apply DR’s Secret Moisturizer 6 on red, dry or sensitive skin to soothe and calm skin.
• For combination to oilier skin, mix Moisturizer 6 with Emulsion A6 or Refining Serum 9 for easier absorption and a fresher finish.

Application techniques

2 ways to apply:

1. Spread and pat evenly into skin

2. Press and roll product into skin

C15 Essence 7

• Recommended to use at night for best effects.
• As it contains a high concentration of Vitamin C, product colour may change over time due to oxidation but efficacy is not affected.
• We recommend finishing the product 6 months from opening of bottle for best effects.

Spot Serum 8

• Apply DR’s Secret Spot Serum 8 only on troubled areas should acne only appear at specific spots.
• For oily skin, apply on the whole face to help with oil control and balance sebum production.
• To clear up an inflamed spot, soak a small piece of cotton wool in Spot Serum 8 and leave overnight as a pimple mask.

Refining Serum 9

• Use DR’s Secret Refining Serum 9 to soothe and calm skin redness or irritated skin.
• Use all over the face as the final step of your routine to help seal your products into the skin.
• For red and inflamed acne, use Refining Serum 9, Spot Serum 8, Refining Serum 9 to soothe, treat then soothe again. If the pimple appears as a whitehead, use Spot Serum 8 directly on the affected spot followed by Refining Serum 9.
