Today’s aesthetic patient is informed, ingredient-aware and results-driven. They are no longer satisfied with generic skincare, but instead seek targeted, molecule-based formulations that work in synergy with professional treatments. With the launch of the new Sothys Dermo_Booster cosmeceutical range, Sothys Paris answers that demand with a programme built around clinical performance, safety and customisation.
A Cosmeceutical Programme Built Around Four Core Skin Concerns
The Dermo_Booster range has been developed to address four major skin concerns:
- Dehydration
- Skin ageing
- Rosacea-prone skin with redness
- Young and adult acne-prone skin
At the centre of the programme is a powerful combination of in-clinic treatment and retail continuation.
The Programme Includes
- A Double Peel Professional Treatment using Sothys’ highest concentration of acids at 30%
- Five Pro Dermo_Booster ampoules designed as intensive 7-day treatment courses
- Four preparing and regenerating products to integrate into daily rituals
- Two serum and cream duos for acne-prone and rosacea-prone skin
- One regenerating solution and balm duo for weakened skin
This is not a single product launch. It is a structured skin prescription system.
The Double Peel Professional Treatment
30% Acids. High Efficiency. Complete Safety.
The Double Peel Professional Treatment combines the efficacy of a 30% acid peel with the safety profile of Sothys formulas.
Acids used:
- Glycolic acid
- Mandelic acid
- Salicylic acid
This 45-minute protocol is fully customisable and can be personalised with a Pro Dermobooster ampoule according to the client’s concern.
Clinically Proven Results After Just One Treatment

Step-by-Step Professional Protocol

- Peeling Forte in two stages to gradually reduce pH to around 3.5
- Neutralisation with soothing neutraliser to restore skin pH

For clinics and aesthetic practices, this treatment offers measurable results with a masterfully structured, easy-to-learn protocol.
