The Secret
Practitioners choose from 19 pure actives
UNIVERSKIN™
Founded by two Perth-based cosmetic medical professionals, skin clinic owner Dr Clara Hurst and General Practitioner Dr Deb Cohen-Jones, The Secret fills a gap in the market for a highly effective solution for complex cosmetic conditions. Carefully researched and formulated with medical strength ingredients, such as Tretinoin and Hydroquinone, each jar is handmade individually for each patient to treat their specific skin concerns. Each formulation contains a unique combination of prescription strength ingredients in a patented base, which provides the optimal carriage of these prescription strength compounds. The focus is on increasing skin clarity, treating fine lines and skin laxity, eliminating pigmentation and breakouts, and achieving that coveted Secret glow. The ordering process allows the doctors to select products for each customer based on their professional opinion of the details in the medical questionnaire they provide. The doctors’ decisions on which formulas will be best for clients is communicated via email, before the bespoke products are made and sent with instructions on how to use them. thesecretskincare.com.au
Created by a team of dermatologists, plastic surgeons, pharmacists, biologists, chemists, and anatomo-pathologists, UNIVERSKIN™ was founded in France in 2006. The founding medical team has extensively studied international medical databases in order to select 19 pure actives based on their efficacy and their tolerability, by responding to a vast range of issues. Out of these 19 ingredients, doctors can prescribe bespoke serums including up to three pure actives each. In addition to the personalised serum, particularly when the skin has been sensitised by mechanical or environmental aggressions, doctors can also recommend the use of products within the nexultra™ range, which is made up of a universal oil cleanser, two peptide creams with different textures (light to rich), an anhydrous balm, and a SPF50 mineral powder luminizer. The concept relies on a cosmetology consultation after which the patient leaves with their own prescription skincare formula(s) or has them delivered to their door. The brand also offers a digital dispensing service that allows doctors to digitally The Secret Founders Dr Deb diagnose skin and remotely dispense all the Universkin Cohen-Jones and Dr Clara Hurst range, collaborating with a Sydney-based compound 68 | SPA+CLINIC
