Pam Cushing, RN, MSc, NIP, PGDip (Aest Med) and Managing Director of Aspire & Co Limited as she discusses her passion for innovation in the ever-evolving world of facial aesthetics. Join Pam as she shares her philosophy and insights as an exclusive distributor of the ground-breaking pHformula UK and Apeer Beauty UK skincare innovations.
Why did you choose to become the distributor for Apeer in the UK?
At Aspire & Co Limited, we are committed to pioneering transformative skincare solutions that empower professionals to redefine beauty standards and achieve optimal results, even for the most complex skin conditions.
For a long time, I had been searching for a brand that not only excites me but also aligns with our company’s philosophy. When Apeer from Denmark approached us, I immediately recognised the opportunity to partner with a brand that truly embodies innovation. The science behind Apeer offers effective solutions for tackling complex skin concerns such as ageing, pigmentation, acne, and rosacea, and I knew it was the perfect fit for our mission.
In such a competitive market, what aspects of Apeer caught your attention and continue to make it stand out?
What drew me to Apeer was its simple, yet effective approach—particularly the sustainable packaging and the clean, straightforward product range. Their no-fuss skincare regime perfectly supports our clients by providing innovative, high-quality homecare options. The focus on sourcing top-tier active ingredients that address concerns across a broad demographic is also crucial in today’s market.
In a world full of skincare brands that often over-promise and under-deliver, Apeer stands apart. They don’t claim magical transformations overnight. Instead, they prioritise honesty, transparency, and education, providing clear, straightforward guidance on how to achieve healthier skin.
Please introduce us to Apeer and what it strives to achieve in the industry.
Developed by leading Danish dermatologists, each product is rooted in advanced research and testing. We’re eager to share this expert knowledge with industry professionals to expand and enhance their in-clinic treatments.
Creating a skincare line that helps people look and feel their best is certainly an ambitious goal—but it’s one Apeer are passionate about. They believe that our skin reflects the lives we lead. It can be glowing, radiant, and energizing, or it can feel dull, tired, and unbalanced. At Apeer, they understand skin and know how to care for it.
Can you highlight some of Apeer’s hero products and what makes them unique?
There are a few products from Apeer that truly resonate with me, and they’re exactly what my customers want from their in-house skincare lines.
At the top of my list is the LIFT Series. This range, features the innovative RetinART®, a next-generation natural retinoid. RetinART® binds to the receptors of retinoic acid in the dermis, supporting the skin’s natural renewal process without the typical side effects or irritation that come with traditional retinol-based products. It delivers superior desquamation and skin remodelling, making it ideal for those seeking the ultimate in age management. The series includes the LIFT Serum, LIFT Complex Cream, LIFT Day Cream, and LIFT Night Cream. You can introduce just one product into your existing regime or go all in with the full series for maximum results.
Another firm favourite within my education team is the Tanning Drops. These offer a healthy alternative to traditional tanning products, containing 0.1% Aloe Vera and 1% Acai Extract. These ingredients help reduce dryness and dullness, while the Aloe Vera nourishes and soothes the skin, countering the common side effects often associated with typical tanning products. The Tanning Drops are the perfect solution to achieve a radiant, sun-kissed glow without the damaging sun exposure, making them a great option all year round.
The brand focuses heavily on care, knowledge, and results – how does Apeer incorporate these values into their product line?
Staying current with the times and embracing new innovations is crucial for success—remaining stagnant can be a dangerous path in business. Apeer’s launch of the AI Skin Scanner gives us, as distributors, a competitive edge over others in the market.
At times, seeking a second opinion for our clients is essential. By simply displaying the QR code in your clinic’s retail areas, you can direct your clients to the AI Skin Scanner, offering them fast and free access to an in-depth analysis of their skin. This service provides personalised recommendations based on their skin’s well-being.
How can retailing Apeer products enhance a salon’s client experience and revenue?
Introducing Apeer into your salon offers an affordable yet high-quality solution elevating the overall client experience. By incorporating Apeer into your retail possibilities, you enhance your in-clinic shopping experience, providing clients with trusted skincare options.
This brand also provides a valuable opportunity to expand your e-commerce platform, allowing you to reach a wider audience. With the integration of the AI Skin Analysis, clients can confidently track their skin journey. This personalised approach ensures that their skincare regimen adapts to their evolving needs, regardless of external factors.
