Sound familiar?

Your skin wants hydration.
Your serum feels like a layer.

Tight by mid-afternooneven though you moisturised this morning.

Serums that sit on toptacky, slick, never quite sinking in.

SPF or makeup that won’t sit rightover whatever went on underneath.

A shelf full of stepsand skin that still feels unsettled.

Your skin isn’t the problem.

Often it just needs water-loving hydration in a texture light enough to wear every day, under everything. That’s exactly what Silkdrop was made to be.

Heavier serums

  • Feel sticky or tacky
  • Can leave a greasy sheen
  • Can feel heavy under SPF and makeup
  • Often one of several steps

Silkdrop

  • Silky and featherlight
  • Settles in quickly to a soft finish
  • Sits comfortably under SPF and makeup
  • One simple daily step

How it works

Hydration without
the heavy layer.

A water-light fluid that works three ways at once, in one featherlight step.

Three ways Silkdrop supports your skin barrier: helps attract moisture, helps soften skin, helps support the skin barrier
01

Helps attract moisture.

Humectants draw water to the skin’s surface and help hold it there, so skin feels hydrated rather than coated.

Hyaluronic acidGlycerinSodium PCA
02

Helps soften skin.

Lightweight plant-derived emollients smooth and soften, without the greasy film of a heavy oil.

SqualaneMeadowfoam seed oil
03

Helps support the skin barrier.

Barrier-loving ingredients and Australian botanicals help skin feel calm, comfortable and resilient day to day.

The texture

See how little it takes.

A pump or two glides over slightly damp skin and settles in quickly. No tacky film. No slick shine. Just skin that feels soft and comfortable.

What to expect

How it feels,
from the first pump.

The first pump

Gone in moments.

It glides on and settles in quickly. No tacky film, no shine, nothing sitting on top.

The first week

An easy habit.

One or two pumps, morning and night. It sits comfortably under moisturiser, sunscreen and makeup.

Weeks two to four

Comfortable, all day.

The kind of everyday hydration customers describe as “soft”, “calm” and “finally simple”.

Based on how customers describe Silkdrop in their reviews. Everyone’s skin is different.

How to use

One small ritual.
Every day.

Step 1

Cleanse.

Start with clean skin, leaving it slightly damp.

Step 2

1–2 pumps of Silkdrop.

Gently press over the face and neck.

Step 3

Finish.

Moisturiser if you need it. Broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.

Use morning and evening. For external use only; avoid the eye area.

Questions? Answers.

Can I use Silkdrop morning and night?

Yes. Apply to clean, slightly damp skin morning and evening. In the morning, always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Is Silkdrop suitable for sensitive skin?

Silkdrop is a gentle, barrier-focused formula, and many of our customers with sensitive skin use it daily.

As with any new skincare, patch test on a small area first and discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Can I use it on oily skin?

Yes. Silkdrop is featherlight and absorbs quickly, so it doesn’t leave a heavy or greasy layer. If your skin is oily or combination, start with one pump, and you may prefer a lighter moisturiser afterwards.

Do I need moisturiser after Silkdrop?

It depends on your skin. Silkdrop hydrates on its own, but if your skin feels dry, or on cold and windy days, follow with a moisturiser such as Skin Shield Barrier Cream.

Do I still need sunscreen?

Yes. Silkdrop is not a sunscreen. Every morning, finish your routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

How much Silkdrop should I apply?

One to two pumps is enough for the face and neck. Gently press into clean, slightly damp skin.

What is the difference between 30ml and 50ml?

Only the size. Both contain the same formula. The 50ml costs less per millilitre and qualifies for free Australian shipping on its own.

How long does a bottle last?

With twice-daily use, a 30ml bottle lasts approximately 4–6 weeks and a 50ml bottle approximately 7–10 weeks, depending on how many pumps you use. That’s from about a day for the 30ml and a day for the 50ml.

When does free shipping apply?

Free Australian shipping applies to orders over $75. The 50ml qualifies on its own; the 30ml on its own does not. For orders under $75, shipping is shown at checkout before you pay.

What is DAP’s returns policy?

If you change your mind, unopened and unused items in their original sealed packaging can be returned within 7 days of delivery (return shipping at your cost). For hygiene reasons we can’t accept opened skincare unless it’s faulty.

If anything arrives damaged, faulty or incorrect, email us within 7 days of delivery and we’ll make it right under Australian Consumer Law. Read the full refund policy.
