Two clinical steps. One clean daily routine. The Starter Duo pairs our AHA Facial Cleanser with our Moisturizing Repair Cream — the resurface-and-restore foundation Dr. Asarch prescribes first to every new patient. It's the easiest way to start with DermaSpa RX, and for some women, it's the only routine they'll ever need.
Formulated for the climates that wreck most skincare. Built by a board-certified dermatologist with 40+ years in practice.

In their own words
"The cleanser is where every routine either earns its results or loses them. I needed a formula that genuinely prepared the skin, so that what came next could actually do its job. Not just clean. Prepare."
Dr. Richard Asarch, MD, FAAD | Founder, DermaSpa RX
"I've been using DermaSpa RX for a while now, and I can truly see a difference in my skin. It looks healthier, feels softer, and stays noticeably more hydrated, which matters a lot living in Denver, where the climate is so dry. The esthetician at a well-known spa was genuinely impressed with how hydrated and smooth my skin was when I mentioned I was from Denver."

"I have used all of the DERMAspaRX products over the past 10 months and the improvement in my skin has been remarkable. At 71, I have tried countless skincare products from dermatologists as well as boutique product lines, and I can say that the DERMAspaRX products have made a bigger difference than any of them."

FAQs
What is included in the Starter Duo?
The Starter Duo pairs two clinical essentials: the AHA Facial Cleanser (Step 1) and the Moisturizing Repair Cream (Step 5 of the full DermaSpa RX routine). Together, they form the resurface-and-restore foundation Dr. Asarch prescribes first to new patients. It's the simplest way to experience DermaSpa RX, and for many people, it's the only routine they'll ever need.
How much do I save compared to buying individually?
The Starter Duo is priced at $131.99. Purchased individually, the AHA Facial Cleanser ($35.99) and Moisturizing Repair Cream ($109.99) total $145.98, a saving of $14. The bundle also qualifies for free shipping on orders over $100.
In what order do I use the products?
Use the AHA Facial Cleanser first, both morning and evening, to remove buildup and prep the skin. Follow with the Moisturizing Repair Cream as your final step to seal in hydration and support overnight barrier repair. Two steps. Same order every time.
Can I use this alongside my existing sunscreen?
Yes. The Starter Duo is designed to pair with any broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen, which we always recommend applying as your final morning step after the Repair Cream. Because the AHA Facial Cleanser contains active exfoliants, daily sun protection isn't optional with this routine. It's required.
Is this enough, or do I need the full 5-step routine?
For most people, the Starter Duo is enough. You get resurfacing and barrier repair, which cover the two pillars most people are missing. If you want to layer in targeted treatments for pigmentation, fine lines, or redness, the other DermaSpa RX steps integrate cleanly. Start here. Add as you need.
Who is the Starter Duo best for?
It's built for anyone new to DermaSpa RX, anyone simplifying an overloaded routine, and anyone buying a thoughtful gift. The formulas are dermatologist-designed and climate-tested, so they perform for sensitive skin, mature skin, and everything in between.
