Melanie dal Canton of MDC Cosmetic has been supplying Berliners with the finest skincare and beauty products since 2012. The increasing demand for a wider, more personalized range of cosmetic treatments amongst her customer base led her to open MDC Cure in late 2017: A space for skincare and holistic wellness treatments to nourish the skin and body from head to toe. Located a mere few steps away from the store, MDC Cure was fitted out by architects AAS Gonzalez Haase. A minimal, pink-toned interior centres around a custom-designed geometric mirror, which transforms the souterrain into a feel-good oasis. I was welcomed with a glass of herbal tea before reclining on a heated treatment chair and submitting to the expertise of my therapist, who struck an ideal balance between warmth and professionalism. The microdermabrasion and ultrasound facial that followed left my skin feeling smooth, supple and deeply nourished. I’m already plotting my return, this time for one of the product-specific treatments — like the therapeutic massage with Tuscan herbs à la Santa Maria Novella (as the exclusive German stockist) or a Susanne Kaufmann facial. All treatments can be mixed, matched and personalized to ensure you glow as beautifully as MDC Cure’s blushing pink interior. (Text: Anna Dorothea Ker / Photos: MDC Cure)
