Skincare Lab: Enhance Your Beauty

In contrast, over-the-counter products often have to limit the concentration of active ingredients to ensure they are safe for broad use, which can reduce their efficacy. Medical-grade products are typically prescribed or recommended by skincare professionals, allowing for a more customised and potent approach based on your unique skin concerns. This combination of clinical research, proven formulations, and personalised recommendations means you’re more likely to see visible, long-lasting results.

Yes, it’s definitely possible to overuse skincare products! Applying too many can actually lead to irritation and reactions. A well-thought-out, minimal routine is often far more effective than trying everything at once. In fact, my bespoke skincare plans typically include around 5 products, with 4 steps in the morning and 3 to 5 in the evening—though 2 or 3 of those steps may overlap between morning and night.

For those looking for a more comprehensive routine, we can always add extras like face masks or eye treatments. However, for most of my patients, 5 products are usually all that’s needed to achieve great results.

There are definitely hero products that can make a big impact when added to your skincare routine, but the right ones will vary for each person. It all depends on your skin type, condition, and your specific skincare goals. That’s why skin consultations are so important—they help tailor the perfect routine just for you - get in touch today!

It’s completely normal to experience a few more spots after introducing new products into your routine. This can happen as your skin adjusts, especially if the products are helping to clear out congestion or speed up your skin cell turnover. This process is called purging and is temporary, but if the spots persist or worsen, it might be worth checking in to see if the products are the right fit for your skin type.
