DMD Skin Sciences makes skincare more accessible with LOCAD
Cloud logistics platform helps build a community that fosters skin health
The rise of e-commerce has led to the blossoming of the Philippine beauty and cosmetics market, which is developing demand for items that specifically cater to the needs of the Filipino skin. Aiming to help Filipinos reach their goal of healthy, glowing skin, DMD Skin Sciences is paving the way to more accessible dermatological services and products in the country. Its digital strategy also comes at an opportune time as beauty products have become the second most purchased items online, according to the 2021 Digital Consumer Report conducted by Facebook and Bain & Company.
As
someone who experienced the grueling pains of self-isolation from suffering
acne, clinic founder Dr. Mike D has pledged to "create a community and a
support system that will accompany every patient in his journey to strong
skin." Teaming up on this quest is the cloud logistics network, LOCAD,
which provides on-demand warehousing and multi-channel fulfillment to DMD Skin
Sciences.Developed by Dr. Mike D and Dr. Julia Swinton, Azelane Clinical Whitening Soap is a sebum-regulating, acne-scar lightening, and skin-whitening product in one.
Solving challenges in shipping beauty products
Tapping LOCAD as its partner in the journey, DMD Skin Sciences’ message to Filipinos is that skin is an essential organ of their bodies that needs caring and pampering. "We value taking care of our patients so much because we are a high-touch brand," Dr. Mike D details.
The constant invalidation of skin concerns among Filipinos pushed DMD Skin Sciences to bring clinical experience to its forefront. "Here in the Philippines, getting dermatological treatment is sometimes related to vanity," Dr. Mike D explains. "I think that is the reason why some patients have been choosing to abandon their dermatological consultation."
Understanding clients' concerns, DMD Skin
Sciences guide Filipinos on their journey to have strong skin. The clinic
dispenses products to both patients and non-patients who have a dermatologist’s
prescription. Aside from treating their patients in the clinic, DMD Skin
Sciences reaches out to potential customers by making their products more
accessible to the public through delivery and fulfillment by the cloud
logistics platform, LOCAD.
For DMD Skin Sciences, appreciating its customers means providing a reliable logistics partner, which can deliver products and skincare formulations on time without any issues. LOCAD handles fast, secure, and seamless order fulfillment for its over-the-counter products. Its efficiency and expertise in handling its products help DMD Skin Sciences achieve more sales.
Investing in outsourcing service fulfillment helps the clinic grow its community. LOCAD's distinct features also ensure that products arrive at specific destinations in good condition with their quality preserved: airconditioned storage facility for skin products, the company's expiration management through monthly reports, and additional security cameras in caging facilities that protect small items.
One advantage in partnering with LOCAD is that his team does not have to overthink order fulfillment. Dr. Mike D says, “We are at peace knowing full well that someone as reliable as LOCAD is doing it for us." Since enlisting LOCAD's expertise in warehousing and logistics, the clinic has more time to focus on other business matters that increasingly need attention, like marketing and operations.
Positive patient feedback
These days, with around 7.9 regional online platforms to shop from, Southeast Asian digital customers’ brand loyalty does not solely depend on price. Better product quality, better availability, and faster delivery times all contribute to their decisions, as validated by the 2021 research by Facebook and Bain & Company. LOCAD’s research also names exceptional customer experience as key to acquiring and keeping customers.
Patients’ positive comments on DMD Skin Sciences’ social media platforms vouch for the effectiveness and the delivery speed of the skincare products. Their opinions and suggestions remain king to the clinic’s operations, while making word-of-mouth referrals grow organically.
According to Dr. Mike D, they validate their perception that customers place high regard on fast, safe shipment: "We do not want to lose our patients' trust because of an unpleasant order fulfillment experience."
The slew of positive feedback comes with customers’ increased orders for skincare products. LOCAD's organized, efficient handling of the clinic's products resulted in a 200% sales increase, while its fast end-to-end fulfillment services and immediate dashboard enabled DMD Skin Sciences to meet the rising demands. The clinic's e-commerce site has also reached higher sales than expected in December 2021. "We are thankful with LOCAD that they are really ensuring that our patients are happy with the experience," Dr. Mike D shares.
DMD Skin Sciences’ MISSION: SKIN° Collection is composed of moisturizer, spray, retinol, and spot concentrate for acne-prone skin.
Journey to giving healthy, strong skin to Filipinos
LOCAD’s working with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) also serves as a crucial factor why DMD Skin Sciences continues its collaboration with the cloud logistics platform. Dr. Mike D emphasizes that he appreciates LOCAD’s openness and readiness to be its partner: "LOCAD was the only company that entertained my inquiry on fulfillment. I like how they were and are still open and accepting to start-ups, and how they see the potential for small enterprises to be a big brand someday.”
Banking on clinical expertise, DMD Skin Sciences envisions creating more expert products and skincare formulations that can improve their patients’ skin. "Innovation is the reason why we can formulate our products. We see our patients daily; that is why we know that their needs are met and addressed with the help of our products," Dr. Mike D explains.
DMD Skin Sciences’ MISSION: SKIN° Moisturizer and Retinol Cream known for its skin hydrating, skin restoring, and anti-aging properties.
Attributing his
clinic's growth to its skin-conscious community, Dr. Mike D shares that the
clinic will continue working with LOCAD, because it helped turn his dreams into
reality. He envisions accompanying more Filipinos in their journey to achieving
strong skin. "We are all about community. We value our patients' feedback
and treat them as our bosses. We value authenticity because this is what our
patients feel and think about our treatments and skincare lines."

Olay Teams Up with Shopee to Empower Digital-savvy Millennials in Southeast Asia to #AdultFearlessly
P&G-owned
skincare brand Olay partners with Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in
Southeast Asia and Taiwan, to reach and engage with digital-savvy millennials
in Southeast Asia with the launch of the Adult Fearlessly campaign. The
refreshed brand campaign will be held exclusively on Shopee, across six markets, and will run from October
18 to 20 in the Philippines.
The
campaign seeks to empower millennial women in their transition to adulthood by
helping them overcome the perceived challenges of ‘adulting’ and invest in
making good choices about their skincare needs.
Across the
region, digital-savvy millennial consumers (34%) are now
more likely to shop online every week (a survey of more than 1,000
consumers in Southeast Asia reveals), as e-commerce becomes a key channel
for consumers to meet their daily and lifestyle needs. As such, Olay has
witnessed a shift from offline to online sales and wants to connect with more
audiences online with this digital-led campaign.
Building
on Olay and Shopee Super Brand Days’ past success, this new campaign will
feature a co-created video, “Fearless with your choices,” and exclusive
promotions on Olay products to create an engaging online shopping experience.
Olay will
feature its signature superior skincare range on its official store on Shopee
Mall with up to 45% off on Olay products with a free magnetic wand from October
18-20! It includes Olay POWER DUO, a combination of the Olay Regenerist
Micro-Sculpting Cream and Olay White Radiance Light Perfecting Essence that
will help achieve firmer, plumper, and more radiant skin from first
use. The Power Duo includes powerful and effective ingredients that can
visibly transform skin in up to 28 days.
“As a
leading skincare brand in the Philippines, we are always focused on how we
can best connect with our consumers to provide the superior skincare products
they need,” said Lucy Moran, Olay and
Personal Care Senior eCommerce Director, Asia Middle East and Africa.
“Digital
technology has transformed the shopping experience, and increasingly, young
consumers enjoy browsing and purchasing their skincare essentials online. The
partnership with Shopee enables Olay to connect with and serve our consumers
effectively, offering convenience and the right skincare solution for their
busy lifestyle,” adds Moran.
Martin Yu, Associate Director at Shopee
Philippines, said, “We're delighted to partner with Olay once again and have the
opportunity to collaborate on the campaign video. Health & Beauty is one of
the most popular categories in Shopee. We are confident that the Adult
Fearlessly campaign will especially resonate with millennial and female Shopee
users who enjoy consuming video content, and are purchasing more skincare
products online.”
The
campaign brings to life being “Fearless with your choices,” which depicts a
woman's journey into adulthood, facing the tension between personal desires,
societal expectations, and concerns about physical appearances. With the
personal and financial independence that comes with maturity – the adulting
journey can be made more enjoyable by investing in skincare products of
superior quality and good value. Against this backdrop, Olay seeks to
inspire and empower women to make choices fearlessly by highlighting the pluses
of being 30.
