DIOR Skincare Capture Totale Serum Launch and Press Conference

Singapore, 5 December 2019 –

Dr. Teo Wan Lin was invited as a key opinion leader on cosmeceutical skincare at the press conference for Dior Skincare’s Capture Totale Serum, held at Capella Hotel, Sentosa. The author of “Skincare Bible – Dermatologist’s Tips for Cosmeceutical Skincare”, launching islandwide in bookstores January 2020, Dr. Teo shared her thoughts on anti-ageing and the science of cosmeceutical formulations.

“The earlier we start anti-ageing treatment, such as preventive skincare, the better off we are at combating the signs of ageing.’ Dr. Teo emphasised the urgency of preventing anti-ageing, an ongoing process starting in the mid-twenties and aggravated by biological factors such as genetics as well as environmental exposures.

“My research into cosmeceutical active ingredients demonstrates that when serums are correctly formulated and delivered they are able to fight free radicals effectively, such as that caused by photoageing and environmental stressors”. As a prominent researcher in the area of cosmeceutical skincare, she shared tips on choosing the right skincare products for an efficient regimen.

“Another important concept in skincare is how well absorbed it is- for example, the New Generation Vector biofermented lipo-peptide enhances the penetration of the floral complex by 30%,” Dr. Teo shared that women are extremely well educated on the importance of a skincare regimen these days— starting with double cleansing, application of Antioxidant serums before moisturising and sunblock. A good serum can be efficiently incorporated as a day and night serum in a skincare regimen.

On the importance of organic active ingredients used in Skincare, as well as the extraction and processing process, cosmetic giants are becoming increasingly aware of clean beauty. “From a dermatologist perspective, it is reassuring that the Dior Scientists maintain purity of these extracts with strict pharmaceutical engineering principles— there are especially critical steps to prevent loss of clinical activity, as well as environmental contamination which can affect the final product.”

Some final thoughts on anti-ageing from Dr. Teo included the following.

A dermatologist’s approach to ageing
“We stage objectively using a scale known as the Glogau Photoageing Scale, named after a dermatologist Dr. Richard Glogau and is graded on a scale of 1-4, with most of us in the audience here today at 2 or a 3, which means we have some early to moderate signs of ageing, such as pigmentation spots, fine lines and some changes in our skin texture.”

The Dior Scientists also created the Dior Skin Scanner with this approach in mind, as it offers the public an objective scientific evaluation which previously was only assessable via a dermatologist’s visit.

This also means that the earlier we start anti-ageing treatment, such as preventive skincare, the better off we are at combating the signs of ageing— this includes the ability of the skin to fight free radicals effectively, such as that caused by photoageing and environmental stressors.

More skincare and cosmeceutical formulation tips can be found in Dr. Teo’s new book “Skincare Bible – Dermatologist’s Tips for Cosmeceutical Skincare”, which is available via www.drtwlderma.com, as an e-book via Barnes & Noble, Apple Books and in major bookstores island wide.
