The Birth of Skinetics
In the heart of Singapore’s beauty industry, Skinetics has steadily grown into a trusted name in professional skincare. The company represents two internationally respected brands — Dr. Spiller and Trawenmoor.
Dr. Spiller is best known for its gentle yet effective formulas that work in harmony with the skin, helping to restore balance and long-lasting hydration. Trawenmoor, on the other hand, draws on the natural strength of organic ingredients to protect and renew the skin. Together, they bring a blend of science and nature that professionals can trust, and clients can see and feel.
But what truly sets Skinetics apart is not just what it carries, but how it carries it forward. Rather than pursuing mass-market sales, the company has built its foundation on cultivating authentic, lasting partnerships with beauty salons and spas.
This means more than supplying products — it means providing training, sharing knowledge, and offering ongoing support, so that skincare professionals can deliver visible, lasting results for their clients. In this way, the brands are not just products on a shelf, but part of a larger story of transformation and trust.

The story of Skinetics begins with sisters Elaine and Cindy Tan, whose vision was shaped by both experience and responsibility. For more than 16 years, Elaine had worked closely with the Dr. Spiller brand under a previous distributor, building trust among salons and nurturing a loyal customer base. When that distributor decided to step away, Elaine faced a choice: allow those relationships to fade, or step forward to preserve them.
Together with Cindy, she chose the latter. On 1 July 2019, the two sisters founded Skinetics — not simply to run a business, but to ensure continuity for the professionals and clients who had come to rely on the products. Their belief was simple: trusted brands deserve a trusted home, and salons deserve a partner who will walk alongside them.
That sense of purpose continues to guide Skinetics today, as it grows not on volume, but on the strength of relationships, expertise, and a shared commitment to lasting results.
The Edge of Skinetics
What sets Skinetics apart is not just its portfolio of premium brands, but the way it supports and protects its partners. Its unique edge lies in three areas:
Education & Training — Skinetics equips beauty professionals with deep product knowledge, from application techniques to the science behind each formula. This empowers salon staff to confidently share benefits with clients, strengthening relationships and delivering results that last.
Marketing Partnership — Beyond distribution, Skinetics works hand in hand with salons to design seasonal campaigns, create thematic events, and tailor promotions to fit their clientele. Every effort is aligned to help salons grow their business while keeping the brand story alive.
Exclusivity & Protection — By keeping its brands strictly within professional channels, Skinetics ensures that its partners enjoy healthy margins and that the prestige of the products remains intact — a rarity in today’s market where premium brands often slip into mass retail.
This combination of premium products, knowledge-sharing, and brand protection has made Skinetics a true ally in the professional skincare space — one that salons can trust to grow with them, not just sell to them.
Challenges Along the Way
The early years were not without hurdles. Introducing a premium-priced range in Singapore — a market known for being highly price-sensitive — meant that convincing salon owners was not easy. Many questioned whether clients would be willing to pay more when cheaper alternatives were everywhere.

Elaine and Cindy could have chosen the simpler path of lowering prices. But instead, they stood firm. They believed in the purity of the ingredients, the precision of German formulations, and the visible improvements these products brought to the skin. Rather than competing on price, they focused on value — proving that true results were worth the investment.
That conviction slowly paid off. Not only did Skinetics retain its loyal base of salons, it began attracting new partners who wanted to offer something different and more meaningful to their clients.
Growth With Purpose
Today, Skinetics continues to grow — but never at the expense of its values. In Singapore, the company is focused on strengthening its presence by deepening salon partnerships, driving education initiatives, and building awareness of its brands.
Growth for Skinetics also means impact beyond business. The company actively supports individuals with special needs by offering opportunities for creative contributions, and it steps in to sponsor or assist whenever the community calls. For Elaine and Cindy, growth has always been about people first — helping professionals thrive, empowering clients with healthier skin, and making a positive difference in society.
Looking to the Future
As the next chapter unfolds, Skinetics is clear about where it is headed. The goal is not to be the largest distributor by volume, but the most trusted partner in professional skincare.
With premium brands anchored in science and nature, training that empowers professionals, and a commitment to protecting the value of the salon channel, Skinetics is setting a new benchmark for what a distributor can be.
The journey that began with two sisters and a promise of continuity has grown into a story of transformation, trust, and purpose. And as Skinetics steps into the future, its mission remains the same: to walk alongside professionals, inspire confidence in clients, and ensure that every partnership tells a story of care, quality, and lasting results.
