The derma competence center (dcc) is a dermatology and skincare brand associated with Dr. med. Hero P. D. Schnitzler, a specialist and lead physician in Zurich. In collaboration with a German cosmetics laboratory, Dr. Schnitzler developed dcc’s skincare range around three complementary principles: defend, cure and clarify. The products aim to protect the skin from influences associated with ageing, support the improvement of existing skin changes, and cleanse the skin in preparation for further care.

The collection includes serums, day creams, eye care, facial cleansers and hydrating sprays for different skin types and ages. Featured products include hyaluronic acid serums, a day cream, an eye contour cream, sensitive-skin cleansing foam and a fruit cleansing foam. Some products are described as offering hydration, soothing care, anti-ageing support or protection for the skin structure. The center also provides dermatology practice information and services, online appointment booking and contact options. Customers can shop online, with delivery stated as taking two to three working days.
