PRODUCT
Our products are designed and formulated to be suitable for all skin types.
Cleanser (01), Exfoliating Mask (02), Toner (03) and Moisturizer (05) form the basic routine for every skin type. The Core Collection is the ideal set for all DR EMI ARPA SKIN beginners and forms the basis of a good routine.
The Treat category (04) contains products according to the skin condition. The serums in this category treat specific skin problems and complement the basic routine.
Sensitive skin should always start with a shorter application time (e.g. with Active Acids Exfoliating Mask) or a lower application frequency (e.g. with 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 from perfume, perfume oils or essential oils.
We have developed a system for your skincare routine that will help you with your own personal skincare routine. Each DR. EMI ARPA skincare product is labeled with a number and letter abbreviation and thus assigned to a 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 will find these explanations on every folding box. For our current product portfolio, this means
01 CLEANSE - As the first step in your skincare routine, cleanse your facial skin gently but effectively.
- 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, whereby dead skin cells are replaced by new ones. You can support this process with regular, gentle exfoliation.
- Active Acids Exfoliating Mask: AHA, BHA and PHA ensure a smoother complexion and more radiance!
03 PREPARE - you prepare your skin optimally for the next care steps.
- Essential Essence Skin Balancing Toner: Much more than just a toner, as the essence contains 11% pre- and postbiotics as well as 13 amino acids, allantoin and a slightly exfoliating peptide.
04 TREAT - the special serums and masks now follow as a treatment, with combinations of active ingredients that specifically treat your skin's needs.
- Absolute A or Absolute A+ Retinal Serum: Encapsulated retinal and five peptides as a well-aging solution and effective against pigment spots with 0.1% retinal.
- Serious C Complex Antioxidant Serum: Antioxidant power paired with stable vitamin C derivatives. BFF with SPF!
05 MOISTURIZE - finish your routine by moisturizing the skin.
- Barrier Boost CPA Barrier Cream: a light, fast-absorbing cream with ceramides, peptides, azelaic acid and pre- and postbiotics.
06 DEFENCE - Sun protection always follows in the morning to protect our skin from premature ageing and other UV-related damage.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid products containing retinoids (e.g. retinal) and hydroxy acids (e.g. AHA). This recommendation is based on current safety assessments. Products from DR. EMI ARPA SKIN that are free from these ingredients can generally be used without hesitation. If you are unsure, we advise you to consult a dermatologist or doctor.
The following products should therefore not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding:
- Active Acids Exfoliating Mask
- Absolute A Retinal Serum
- Absolute A+ Retinal Serum
Our skin and lip care products are developed and produced in Germany.
All DR. EMI ARPA SKIN products are labeled with a jar symbol (PAO - Period After Opening), which indicates the period of use after opening. The number in the symbol indicates the shelf life in months.
Our skin care and lip products have a shelf life of 6 months (6M) after opening.
To ensure quality and effectiveness, we recommend using the products within this period.
DR. EMI ARPA SKIN stands for the highest quality and effectiveness. Our formulations contain high-quality ingredients in scientifically proven concentrations.
In order 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. We also attach great importance to high-quality and environmentally friendly materials when choosing our packaging.
This combination of highly effective ingredients, scientific expertise and high quality standards is reflected in our price.
