FAQ

Product

Do I need to use all of these products for it to be effective?
Our products do work best as a total system, but even more importantly, they’re designed to fit into your specific skin care regime. Just make sure to read and follow the instructions for use to ensure you get the best possible results.

Do you offer products for men too?
We’re planning to launch our men’s line in early 2019.

How can I improve my skin’s appearance and texture?
The first step in any skin care regime is cleansing. This helps prepare the skin and make sure that you’re working on a clear surface (and not accidentally on any oil & dirt that your skin may have gathered during the day). Whatever else you may do as part of your regular care routine, you need to be cleaning your skin daily.

The next step is using a good exfoliant or mask, which is key to improving not only the appearance of pores, but skin texture overall. Unfortunately, each day our skin comes in contact with the bad stuff – the dirt, dust, debris- that clogs our pores and irritates our skin. A good exfoliation routine gets all that bad stuff off of your skin in a gentle yet effective way. You should be exfoliating 1-2 times per week, but don’t overdo it. Think of it like the enamel on your teeth – you want to clean your skin, but not erode or wear it down.

How can I improve skin radiance?
Skin radiance – that healthy glow – comes from regularly using a total approach to skin care. The Pö Derma family of products work in just that way, and they make sure that you have the right products to effectively clean, repair, restore and maintain your skin’s natural beauty.

How can I keep lips looking fuller?
Lips look healthy and fuller when they are properly hydrated and protected. That’s why Pö Derma’s lip balm has hempseed oil which is rich in omega fatty acids & lineolic acids – both important to keeping the skin on your lips healthy, without feeling heavy on your lips.

I’m seeing lines and wrinkles on my face, which is making me look older than I am. How can I keep myself looking young / younger and prevent ageing?
It’s all about building the right foundation. A proper skin care regimen needs to cover all the bases – it needs to clean your skin to prepare it, remove any oils or dirt that the skin may have accumulated during the day, repair any damage, and then finally reinforce and maintain it. That doesn’t mean simply using a bunch of products – it means using the right ones.

Once you have a good skin regimen that works for you, it’s always helpful to avoid sun exposure, smoking & alcohol (because they directly damage your skin, introduce dirt or debris, and dehydrate your skin). Lots of water is the perfect finishing touch to keep your skin well hydrated and always looking youthful.

Is it for all skin types?
Our products are formulated to work with all skin types.

Where are Pö Derma’s products made?

Why is the Luscious lip balm green?
That’s the hempseed oil – one of the feature ingredients in our proprietary formulation. Hempseed oil is rich in omega fatty acids & lineolic acid, which is what your lips want and need in order to be plump, soft and healthy.

Another plus: our Luscious lip balm is completely vegan!
