Amanda, Expert Skin Therapist, Senior Therapist and Owner of Sibu Skin and Beauty

Murad Skincare
Skin Health Backed by Science & Wellness
Founded in 1989 by Dr Howard Murad — often called the father of modern wellness — Murad was the first clinical skincare brand to pioneer Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) in topical products. That innovation set a new global standard for measurable, results-driven skincare.
But Murad has always been more than formulas. Dr Murad built his philosophy on the belief that healthy skin begins with whole-person wellness: hydration, nutrition, movement, and happiness. He went on to publish bestselling books on ageing and skin health, empowering people everywhere to see skin as a reflection of inner balance.
At Sibu Skin and Beauty, this philosophy resonates deeply. Like Dr Murad, we believe great skin is never just about appearance — it’s about confidence, vitality, and wellbeing that lasts long after you leave the treatment room.
By partnering with Murad, we can offer you clinical-grade treatments and homecare that deliver visible results while honouring the bigger picture: skin that’s healthy, resilient, and radiant from the inside out.
Dermalogica
Education, Empowerment & Results
Dermalogica captured my heart from the very beginning, when it was still independently owned by Jane Wurwand. Jane’s vision was clear: a brand created by women, for women — dedicated to elevating professional skin therapists through education, independence, and entrepreneurship.
That philosophy of empowerment and support mirrors what I’ve built here at Sibu Skin and Beauty: a space where women lift each other up, grow professionally and for our clients personally, and create lasting impact together.
For me, Dermalogica is more than a product partner — it’s a shared mission. It inspires not only our team but also, our aim, our clients, who are empowered to feel stronger, more confident, and more at home in their own skin.
