Delve into Dr.TWL’s apothecary as you are coached by the expert herself on how to start your very own customised skincare business. This 4 hour 44 minute course is split into 2 main modules, each with several subsections.

In this course, you’ll not just learn about the essentials in cosmeceutical theory, but also be empowered with tutorials designed for advanced practitioners, complete with pdf notes by the dermatologist herself.

Part 1 Crash Course in Compounding

*N.B. This course takes you through protocols meant for individuals with an intermediate to advanced understanding of skincare, for use in professional settings. DIY home made cosmetics are not within the scope of dermatologist-recommended skincare and do not qualify as cosmeceuticals. There will be links provided for raw material sourcing, though participants are recommended to also do their own research on availability based on their location.

There are two key small-medium scale business models you will be taught, based on Dr.TWL’s expertise as the head of Asia’s first dermatologist-led custom compounding skincare pharmacy. These two models are clinically tested in a dermatology practice with high efficacy and client retention rate. They are selected on the basis of its suitability for small-scale beauty entrepreneurs who may wish to offer a custom skincare service, specialising in cosmeceuticals.
