We are extremely proud to announce that DRSQ Skincare has been recognized at the Beauty Shortlist Awards. Beauty Shortlist Awards are one of the most prestigious, industry-trusted, and independently judged award programs. 

DRSQ Skincare is proud to share that DRSQ has successfully bagged seven wins, including a coveted Editor's Choice, across eye care, serums, moisturisers, and SPF.

Our Award-Winning Products

1. Advanced Repair Rejuvenating Night Cream – Best Night Cream (Age 50+)

DRSQ Advanced Repair is an advanced rejuvenating night cream, formulated with highly potent active ingredients, including antioxidants, lipids, and vitamins. 

Sh-Oligopeptide-1 (EGF) stimulates collagen and improves elasticity, reduces wrinkles, and prevents inflammation. Palmitoyl Oligopeptide & Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 activate the natural collagen production in the skin, and Cocos Nucifera Fruit Extract increases the vitamin absorption and minerals in the skin.

Why It Won

Advanced Repair is the ultimate DNA-reconstructing moisturising night cream. It brightens the skin, reduces pigmentation, and acts as a complete age reversal complex for dry skin. 

Individuals after 50 tend to lose moisture and elasticity, and the Advanced Repair moisturiser is formulated to work in sync with the skin's natural repair cycle and targets dullness, puffiness, and fatigue. 

2. Skin Bright Anti-Pigmentation Brightening Serum – Best Corrective Serum

Made with biomimetic peptides, UV filters, 5% niacinamide, and 2.5% vitamin C, Skin Bright is a pigment-lightening and brightening serum to inhibit pigment formation and make skin smoother. 

Tetrapeptide-30 diminishes hyperchromatic spots and reduces acne lesions, mandelic acid fights photo-aged skin, and hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates the skin.

Why It Won

Skin Bright is a powerful blend of potent skincare actives that work synergistically to fade UV-induced pigmentation and strengthen the skin in the process. This formulation is superior to what we see generally in the market, in terms of how it works. 

It dares to address what other serums avoid: hormonally induced melasma. It can exfoliate gently without irritating the skin, and combats ageing concerns beyond brightening. 

3. Miracle Pro Vitamin Serum with 0.5% Retinal – Best Retinal Serum

Miracle Pro Vitamin is an age-defying night serum that contains vitamins A, B, and C, as well as peptides. If you're someone already experienced with vitamin A and looking for an upgrade, Miracle Pro Vitamin is totally good to go. By stimulating collagen production, our serum improves skin elasticity and firmness.

Why It Won

Miracle Pro Vitamin stood out among others because it has 0.5% retinaldehyde to address all aspects of ageing, including loose skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. 

Apart from that, Miracle Pro Vitamin shone because it suits every skin type, even sensitive and reactive skin types, including those with conditions like rosacea and dermatitis.

4. Advanced Repair Rejuvenating Night Cream – Best Night Cream (Age 60+)

Advanced Repair bagged another award in the Beauty Shortlist Awards 2026 for the Best Night Cream for people aged 60+. This DNA-constructing cream is suitable for all skin types. 

The formulation has an exceptional composition that interacts with the human skin and promotes healthy barrier function in aged skin.

Why It Won

Skin aged 60+ needs more special care and attention, and that care cannot be given by an ordinary cream. This night cream of ours has been specially made to maintain aged skin. It does not contain harmful additives, and it is also fragrance-free, so it gives you only pure care.

5. Eye Magic Overnight Recovery Eye Balm – Best Overnight Eye Treatment

This overnight recovery eye balm is an eye serum with liquid crystals and PBN extract to deeply nourish the eye area, accelerate ageing signs, and restore volume. 

It also helps with dark circles. It is infused with ceramides, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, combined with silk extract and rice bran oil to transform your skin into a youthful appearance.

Why It Won

Just one to two pea-sized amounts of Eye Magic eye serum can lubricate the dryness. It is a formula built for the eye area's most specific and demanding needs. Every ingredient in the Eye Magic serum is specifically and thoughtfully chosen for what the skin can absorb and repair during your sleep time. 

6. Skin Protect Illuminating Moisturiser with SPF 35+ – Best Daily SPF Product

Skin Protect is made with 10% zinc oxide, 15% titanium dioxide, niacinamide, vitamin C, and peptides. By fortifying the skin with a luxurious, non-greasy feel, Skin Protect is suitable for all skin types. It creates a physical barrier to UV absorption and guards against premature ageing. 

DRSQ’s Skin Protect illuminating moisturiser with SPF 35+

Why It Won

A moisturiser that protects your skin from the sun responsibly is not easy to find. This is not just an SPF moisturiser in name, its formulation works synergistically to help protect your skin from dryness, inflammation, wrinkles, and signs of premature ageing. 

That’s how our Skin Protect earned the jury’s trust and secured its place among the winners.

7. Starter Vitamin A Serum With 0.25% Retinal – The Editor’s Choice Winner

This is a potent vitamin A serum with 0.25% retinaldehyde or retinal, ideal for vitamin A beginners. In combination with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and tetrapeptide-30, Starter Vitamin A targets the everyday signs of ageing, diminishing fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. It boosts the skin's collagen production to make ot plumper and softer, and serves the skin gently even for rosacea and sensitive skin sufferers. 

Starter Vitamin A with 0.25% retinaldehyde

Why It Won

Our retinaldehyde strength is 0.25%, designed to work faster than standard retinaldehyde available in the market. It is suitable for all skin types, and just 2–3 drops are enough for the face and neck.
