neuroscience meets skincare | tap into the skin and mind connection

NeuroTouch Symmetry Serum is a first-of-its-kind, neuroscience-powered sculpting oil designed to help visibly restore facial symmetry for more sculpted-looking skin.* This nourishing facial serum blends neurotechnology with a biomimetic botanical blend to support both skin health and emotional well-being.  

In addition to its formula-driven benefits, NeuroTouch Symmetry Serum is paired with a sculpting technique developed by our Professional Skin Therapists—designed to activate the power of human touch for immediate, visible results. 

the power of the skin and mind connection 

The relationship between skin and emotional well-being runs deeper than surface-level concerns. Science now confirms what Dermalogica’s Professional Skin Therapists have known for decades - skin doesn’t just reflect how we feel, it also influences it. 

As the body’s largest sensory organ, your skin communicates directly with the brain. Through touch, it can activate feel-good hormones like dopamine, endorphins, and oxytocin. While stress often triggers cortisol - disrupting the skin barrier, slowing healing, and contributing to dullness, dehydration, and visible asymmetry - intentional touch can help restore balance. 

what is neurocosmetics? 

Neurocosmetics are a new generation of skincare products formulated to interact with the nervous system through the skin. By targeting neuroreceptors or influencing neurochemical pathways, these products aim to not only improve the skin’s appearance but also impact mood, stress levels, and overall well-being. 

The NeuroTouch Symmetry Serum embodies neurocosmetics in skincare by combining skin-optimising ingredients with sensory-stimulating rituals that tap into the skin-mind connection. 

how the neurotouch symmetry serum works 

The principle behind NeuroTouch Symmetry Serum is simple: facial sculpting elevated by neuroscience. Its aromachology blend is designed to uplift your mood, while the application ritual reinforces connection, calm, and resilience- supporting both skin health and the skin-mind connection. 

Paired with the guided NeuroTouch Sculpting Technique, this serum transforms a daily routine into a deeply therapeutic moment of self-care. Inspired by the treatment room, this serum was designed for solo or partner use, delivering the clinically proven power of human touch. This allows you to enjoy visible results and sensory renewal – right in the comfort of your own home. 

Don’t just take our word for it. We recently conducted a series of clinical testing and surveys which found that: 

  • 94% agree: skin care improves well-being**  

  • 100% agree: neurotouch symmetry serum creates a moment of self-care** 

the ingredients behind the bottle 

NeuroTouch Symmetry Serum was developed with this holistic science in mind. Alongside its mood-boosting aromachology blend, you will also find a range of skin-loving ingredients that work together to restore and improve your skin health, including

finding your skin-mind connection routine

  • Follow this with a hydrating toner to refresh and rebalance your skin. 

  • Layer on serums and treatments tailored to your skin goals, including the NeuroTouch Symmetry Serum for skin sculpting and emotional wellness.
