Mercure Maldives Kooddoo has become the first resort in the Maldives to team up with Doctor G Skincare, a science-driven Italian skincare brand founded by actor and aesthetic doctor Dr. Giulio Berruti. This exclusive partnership introduces Doctor G’s high-performance formulas into every facial treatment at the resort’s spa. Guests can also purchase the products directly on-site.
Who Is Behind Doctor G Skincare?
Doctor G blends two distinct careers into one concept. Its founder, Dr. Giulio Berruti, is not only a well-known Italian actor but also a qualified dental specialist and aesthetic doctor with more than a decade of clinical experience. He aimed to combine the luxurious feel of traditional cosmetics with the proven effectiveness of medical-grade skincare.
To make this vision a reality, he worked closely with dermatologists, allergologists, plastic surgeons, and cosmetic scientists to create products that support both beauty and long-term skin health.
Backed by Italian Science and Safety
Doctor G manufactures all its products in Italy and receives support from the Center for Cosmetology at the University of Ferrara, a highly respected institution in dermatology. The brand also collaborates with a cosmetic lab that brings over 50 years of experience to the table.
Each product is:
- Clinically tested
- Dermatologically approved
- Cruelty-free
- Allergy and sensitivity-tested on diverse skin types
In short, every formula undergoes strict testing to ensure safety, effectiveness, and compatibility with different skin types.
Inside the Doctor G Spa Experience at Mercure Maldives Kooddoo
With this partnership in place, the adult-only resort now offers spa treatments that combine indulgence with advanced skincare science. The spa team exclusively uses Doctor G products for facial rituals, delivering results-backed care grounded in clinical research.
“This partnership allows us to offer our guests facial rituals that are not only luxurious but also scientifically effective,” said Riaan Drever, Cluster General Manager at Mercure Maldives Kooddoo. “Doctor G aligns with our vision of smart, meaningful wellness – rooted in integrity, innovation, and guest satisfaction.”
What’s on the Spa Menu?
The treatment lineup now includes some of Doctor G’s most popular and powerful skincare solutions. Each one targets specific skin needs and features science-backed ingredients:
Perfect Skin: A 15% Mandelic Acid peel made from Bitter Almond extract. It exfoliates, refines pores, boosts collagen, and smooths skin texture without increasing sun sensitivity, making it safe for both day and night use.
Pure Vit C: An 8% Ascorbic Acid serum enhanced with Ginkgo Biloba. This antioxidant-rich treatment helps brighten the skin, even out tone, and stimulate collagen production for a radiant glow.
Pure Hyaluronic Serum: Features triple-weight Hyaluronic Acid to deeply hydrate, plump, and improve elasticity while reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Retin-Oil: A new-generation retinol serum that stimulates skin renewal and collagen, while also delivering hydration and antioxidant protection.
Fab Four: A deeply nourishing anti-aging cream combining Collagen, Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamins A & F. It’s designed to firm, smooth, and intensely hydrate mature skin.
SOS Cream: Ideal for sensitive or sun-exposed skin, this soothing formula includes St. John’s Wort, Calendula, Organic Aloe Vera, and Peony Exosomes to calm irritation, reduce redness, and promote skin recovery.
Elevating the Wellness Experience in the Maldives
This new spa concept reflects Mercure Maldives Kooddoo’s commitment to blending European skincare innovation with the peaceful setting of the Maldives. By offering Doctor G Skincare, the resort enhances its wellness offerings and sets a new standard for spa experiences in the region. The launch arrives just in time to appeal to wellness-focused travellers booking for Summer 2025 and beyond.
