Optaderm
Proudly Canadian. Exceptional skin care products and aesthetic treatments for over 35 years.
Established in 1987, OptaDerm is a Vancouver based skin care and laser clinic, with the mission to offer superior products with the support of facial care services for your finest skin possible. OptaDerm can design a regimen that addresses your skin's needs, with the combination of facials, laser, and products. It's important to know there are four major aspects of skin care: cleansing, exfoliating, protection, and moisturizing.
If you've visited Optaderm before, chances are you'll recognize this scent.
For almost 40 years, our signature Cucumber and Chamomile fragrance has welcomed clients into our clinic, creating a clean, fresh, and calming sensory experience from the moment they arrive.
From our warm towels to selected body care products, it's a scent that has become part of the Optaderm experience and a tradition that continues today.

Here's a behind-the-scenes of our best-selling toners, pH Balance Soothing Skin Toner.
After cleansing, your skin's surface can become slightly more alkaline. A toner helps support your skin's natural pH of 5.5 while preparing it for the products that follow.

How much skincare should you actually use?
Our aestheticians recommend keeping it simple and consistent with the suggested amounts for each step:
Cleanser - almond-sized amount
Toner - coin-sized amount
Serum - 1-1.5 pumps/3 drops
Moisturizer - dime-sized amount
Eye Cream/Gel - 1/2 rice grain or 1/2 pump
Sunscreen - two finger lengths
Using the right amount helps your products apply more evenly and work as intended.

Retinoids are best used at night to support skin renewal and improve the appearance of fine lines.
Consistency is key, and don't forget to apply sunscreen during the day when using retinoids.
Stay tuned as we dive into the retinoid family in an upcoming video.
If you're looking to support dry skin, these are five ingredients worth knowing:
Hyaluronic Acid – Helps attract and retain hydration within the skin.
Ceramides – Support the skin barrier and reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
Glycerin – Draws moisture into the skin to support hydration.
Squalane – Moisturizes the skin while improving softness.
Polyglutamic Acid – Used primarily as a humectant to help the skin retain moisture.

Did you know micellar technology works like a magnet for impurities?
Micelles are tiny cleansing structures that attract and lift away daily buildup, long-lasting waterproof makeup, and silicone sunscreens from the skin.
This allows for effective cleansing while helping maintain the skin's comfort during the cleansing process.
We like keeping our founder busy.
Dean-Richard makes it look easy.
That's because it is.
