PRODUCT

Our products are designed and formulated to be suitable for all skin types. 

Cleanser (01), Exfoliating Mask (02), Toner (03), and Moisturizer (05) make up the basic routine for every skin type. The Core Collection is the ideal set for anyone new to DR EMI ARPA SKIN and forms the foundation of a good skincare routine.

The "Treat " (04) category includes products tailored to your skin condition. The serums and masks in this category address specific skin concerns and complement your basic skincare routine.

For sensitive skin, always start with a shorter application time (e.g., with the Active Acids Exfoliating Mask) or a lower frequency of use (e.g., with the Absolute A/A+ Retinal Serums).

You can find more information on the respective product pages.

Yes, all DR. EMI ARPA SKIN products are vegan and cruelty-free. We are also PETA-certified.

Yes, all products are free of perfume, fragrance oils, or essential oils.

We've developed a system for your personal skincare routine that provides targeted support. Each product in the DR EMI ARPA SKIN skincare line is labeled with a number and a letter abbreviation, corresponding to a specific step in your routine:

01 C for CLEANSE, 02 E for EXFOLIATE, 03 P for PREPARE, 04 T for TREAT, 05 M for MOISTURIZE, and 06 D for DEFENCE. You’ll find these explanations on every folding box. For our current product portfolio, this means:

01 CLEANSE – As the first step in your skincare routine, gently but effectively cleanse your face.

  • Ten out of Ten Gentle Gel Cleanser: A mild cleanser with nourishing ingredients such as ceramides and allantoin.

02 EXFOLIATE - The skin regenerates approximately every 28 days, with dead skin cells being replaced by new ones. Regular, gentle exfoliation supports this process.

  • Active Acids Exfoliating Mask: AHA, BHA, and PHA help smooth the skin's texture and boost its radiance.

03 PREPARE – You’ll prepare your skin perfectly for the next steps in your skincare routine.

  • Essential Essence Skin Balancing Toner: Much more than just a facial toner—in addition to 11% prebiotics and postbiotics, this essence also contains 13 amino acids, allantoin, and a gently exfoliating peptide.

04 TREAT — Next, as part of your treatment, apply the specialized serums and masks, whose combinations of active ingredients are specifically designed to address your skin's needs.

  • Absolute A or Absolute A+ Retinal Serum: Encapsulated retinal and five peptides as an anti-aging solution; with 0.1% retinal, it is effective against dark spots.

  • Serious C Complex Antioxidant Serum: Antioxidant power combined with stable vitamin C derivatives. BFF with SPF!

  • Pore Perfection Purifying Mask and Overnight Oats Calming Mask: A clarifying mask for oily or blemish-prone skin and a soothing mask for stressed or irritated skin.

  • Daily Depuff Total Eye Treatment: This eye cream can reduce puffiness and dark circles, refreshes the eye area, and plumps up fine lines and dryness-induced wrinkles.

05 MOISTURIZE – To finish your routine, moisturize your skin.

  • Barrier Boost CPA Barrier Cream: A lightweight, fast-absorbing cream with ceramides, peptides, azelaic acid, and pre- and postbiotics.

  • Barrier Boost+ Rich Cream: A rich facial cream that strengthens the skin barrier, supports collagen synthesis, and locks in moisture.

06 DEFENCE - In the morning, we always apply sunscreen to protect our skin from premature aging and other UV-related damage.

During pregnancy and while breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid products containing retinoids and hydroxy acids. This recommendation is based on current safety assessments. DR EMI ARPA SKIN products that do not contain these ingredients can generally be used without concern. If you have any doubts, we recommend consulting a dermatologist or doctor.

Accordingly, the following products should not be used during pregnancy and while breastfeeding:

  • Active Acids Exfoliating Mask
  • Absolute A Retinal Serum
  • Absolute A+ Retinal Serum
  • Pore Perfection Purifying Mask

Our skin and lip care products are developed and manufactured in Germany. Makeup products such as the Daily Defence SPF Powder are developed and manufactured in Italy.

All DR. EMI ARPA SKIN products are labeled with a jar symbol (PAO – Period After Opening), which indicates the shelf life after opening. The number in the symbol indicates the shelf life in months. 

Our skincare and lip products have a shelf life of 6 months (6M) after opening. Makeup products, such as the Daily Defense SPF Powder, have a shelf life of 12 months (12M) after opening.

To ensure quality and effectiveness, we recommend using up the products within this time frame.

DR. EMI ARPA SKIN stands for the highest quality and effectiveness. Our formulations contain high-quality ingredients in scientifically proven concentrations.

To meet our internal quality standards, we invest heavily in research and development. Our products are manufactured exclusively in Germany and Italy, while we source packaging materials from Europe to ensure sustainability and short supply chains. When selecting our packaging, we also place great emphasis on materials that are both high-quality and environmentally friendly.

This combination of highly effective ingredients, scientific expertise, and high-quality standards is reflected in our price.
