You're holding it — so here's everything that's inside, and why. Openly, because transparency is the whole point of DermForm.
For eczema & TSW skin
Full ingredient disclosure
Made in Singapore
Made for skin that's been let down before
Designed for chronic eczema & TSW skin.
DermForm is built for dry, reactive, easily irritated skin — and for people navigating chronic eczema and topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) who've too often been dismissed. No.01 is the calm first step of the Recovery Series: it's formulated to support comfort and replenish moisture, without overwhelming skin that's already stressed.
A note we mean: DermForm is a cosmetic that supports skin comfort — it isn't a medicine and doesn't treat TSW or eczema. For those, a clinician is your best guide.
What DermForm stands for
Evidence over authority.
The four things we hold ourselves to — the reason this page exists at all.
Full transparency
Every ingredient disclosed, every claim staged honestly. Hence this page.
Restraint
One clear job per product. One clear claim per benefit. No hype.
Continuity of care
The same honesty in the clinic, online, and here on the label.
The technology inside
DF BioSignal™ — working with your skin.
Healthy skin constantly coordinates its barrier, hydration and stress response through biological signalling. DF BioSignal™ is our proprietary peptide platform: each Recovery Series formula carries one specialised peptide, chosen to support a single recovery function — designed to work alongside the skin you already have, not override it.
Powered by CalmSync™ Peptide
One peptide. One job: comfort.
The peptide in this bottle is Hexapeptide-7 — what we call CalmSync™. Here's what a signalling peptide actually is, in plain language.
01
A messenger
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that skin uses to pass instructions between cells.
02
Chosen for calm
CalmSync™ is selected to support a calmer, more comfortable skin state — not to force a reaction.
03
Works with you
It supports your skin's own processes rather than overriding them — no shutdown, no suppression.
04
Toward balance
The aim is to help visibly stressed skin move back toward its own comfortable baseline.
A signalling peptide is a cosmetic ingredient, not a drug — it doesn't diagnose, treat or cure, and we won't imply otherwise.
How it works
From a thin layer to a calmer baseline.
Healthy skin keeps itself in balance through constant signalling. Everyday stressors — sun, pollution, irritation — can knock that comfort off balance. CalmSync™ is a signalling peptide, chosen to support skin gently back toward its own baseline.
01
You apply a thin layer
A few drops over clean skin, morning and night.
02
It holds water & signals calm
Algae extract and amino acids draw in moisture; CalmSync™ supports a calmer state.
03
Skin moves toward comfort
Supported back toward its own comfortable balance — not forced.

What it's formulated to do
The benefits — with the evidence honestly labelled.
Four things No.01 is formulated to support, each tagged with how strong the evidence is. Nothing borrowed, nothing overstated.
Helps calm visible redness
Formulated to soothe the look of redness in reactive, visibly stressed skin.
Perceived benefitSoothes uncomfortable-feeling skin
A lightweight comfort layer for skin that feels tight, hot or easily irritated.
Perceived benefitSupports lasting skin comfort
Built for steady, everyday comfort — not a quick fix.
Perceived benefitProvides deep, lasting hydration
Humectants and skin-identical amino acids help skin hold onto moisture.
Ingredient functionYou'll notice what we don't say — no “anti-inflammatory,” no “treats,” no “clinically proven.” That's deliberate. Comfort and hydration are what No.01 is formulated to support.
How it should feel
Light, quiet, uneventful — in the best way.
Reactive skin doesn't want drama. Here's what a good application feels like.
Video · The texture, up close
15s: a drop on a fingertip, patted into real skin. Calm, unhurried.
Weightless
Absorbs in seconds — no sticky film, no heavy finish.
Calm, not tingly
No sting or burn expected. If it stings, stop — that's your cue.
Like a drink of water
A soft, hydrated comfort — the tight, parched feeling eased.
Quietly reassuring
A small, steady ritual, twice a day — calm you can keep.
Everyone's skin is different — especially mid-flare. Patch test first, and if anything feels wrong, stop and check with your clinician.
How to use it
Gentle, twice a day.
Watch the 30-second routine, then the steps below.
Video · The 30-second routine
Patch test → a few drops → pat in, twice daily → first layer of the routine.
Step 01
Patch test first
Dab a little on one small area and wait 24 hours before full use.
Step 02
A few drops
A thin, lightweight layer over freshly cleansed skin. A little goes far.
Step 03
Twice daily
Morning and night. Gently pat until absorbed — don't rub.
Step 04
First layer
Use before any richer cream — it's step one of the routine.
