“The best foundation is your GLOWING SKIN” – Dr. Barbara Sturm

‘Molecular’ means to work on a cellular level. If each active ingredient represents a molecule, each one can have a different size and different pathway to perform very specific and focused tasks throughout the skin. For a formula to be truly effective, its molecular structure needs to have a 360° approach to heal, repair and regenerate the skin across a complex matrix.

SIGNATURE STURMGLOW

This revitalizing facial will cleanse, nourish and awaken the skin, and help restore the complexion’s natural glow. Light-reflecting pigments in GLOW DROPS leave the skin with a visible, youthful radiance and evens out the appearance of any irregularities on the complexion.

THE SCIENCE | Purslane provides rejuvenating, anti-oxidative and nutritive properties, Polygonum Bistorta Root Extract optimizes skin tone and the texture of the skin’s surface, while Wild Rose Extract refines the pores.

THE RESULTS | The treatment nourishes the skin and helps to restore a natural and healthy-looking glow.

SUPER ANTI-AGING FACIAL

The Super Anti- Aging Facial replenishes moisture reservoirs resulting in a smoother and more youthful complexion, while promoting the skin’s natural barrier function and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

THE SCIENCE | Long and short-chain hyaluronic molecules are infused with strong antioxidants and ingredients which help to repair damaged skin and support regeneration.

THE RESULTS | This facial visibly lifts the skin around the jaw and neck while reducing fine lines and reviving stressed skin.

DARKER SKIN TONES FACIAL

Specially formulated for darker skin tones, the potent active ingredients used in this facial treatment will hydrate and calm the skin and reduce the appearance of hyper-pigmentation, while minimizing the appearance of pores and helping to prevent breakouts.

THE SCIENCE | Extracts of Magnolia and Enantia Chlorantha (African Whitewood) Bark refine the pores, reduce sebum flow and supply intensive moisture.

THE RESULTS | The treatment refines the pores, minimizes sebum flow and nourishes and soothes skin, targeting the particular sensitivities of darker skin tones.

BRIGHTENING FACIAL

The Brightening Facial decreases the appearance of hyper pigmentation and gently brightens the skin using natural brightening ingredients while combating the oxidative stresses that cause premature aging and dark spots. Shimmer particles included in the BRIGHTENING SERUM, BRIGHTENING FACE CREAM and BRIGHTENING FACE LOTION, boost skin tone and leave skin looking luminous while hydrating ingredients also provide essential moisture and rejuvenating anti-aging powers.

THE SCIENCE | Cress Sprouts Extract helps to visibly and instantly brighten the appearance of the skin and diminish the appearance of dark and yellowish spots. Ginseng Extract supports the skin’s own protection against free radicals and environmental stress and Hyaluronic Acid provides instant hydration.

THE RESULTS | Your skin is left smoother, brighter and more vibrant-looking.

CLARIFYING FACIAL

Dr. Sturm’s Clarifying Facial was formulated for blemish-prone skin. It directly improves the skin’s barrier and helps to restore its natural balance. The active ingredient complex reduces discomfort and alleviates skin sensitivity and irritation for an instant calming effect, while addressing the signs of aging by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

THE SCIENCE | Zinc removes excess sebum and counteracts the formation of impurities whilst Albatrellus Ovinus Extract reduces redness, resulting in a more even skin tone.

THE RESULTS | Irritation and redness is reduced to leave the skin looking fresh, calm and clear. Skin also looks smoother, hydrated and healthier- looking.

Men’s Facial

Customized to the specific needs and challenges of men’s skin, this treatment cleanses, tones, soothes and comforts irritated skin, especially after shaving. The Men’s Facial removes rough or dry skin and improves skin barrier function, while also fighting the signs of aging, under eye discolouration and puffiness.

THE SCIENCE | Long and short-chain Hyaluronic Acid molecules are combined with strong antioxidant ingredients that nourish damaged skin and support skin barrier function.

THE RESULTS | The skin emerges deeply cleansed, softer and brighter. It restores and calms the complexion to leave the skin looking revitalized and visibly reduces the appearance of deeper facial lines and wrinkles to which men are more prone.
