5 Recommended Skincare Products (part 1)

Whatever you'd like to ask, our Stirling and Lenzie teams are only ever a call or message away.

With so many, allegedly , wonder ingredients out there on the skincare market, it’s all the more important to see past the razzmatazz and focus on what really works – and, more importantly, what works for you.

So to make things that bit easier, here’s Doctor Caroline with her top 5 Skincare Recommendations. Stay tuned for Part 2 🦋

1. SPF

As long as it’s Factor 50 and 5 Star UVA it will likely do a good job. The best products are genuinely the ones that are cosmetically acceptable. Many are too heavy, greasy or chalky to wear on the face – this is why some are more expensive.

2. Tretinoin

The king of anti-aging products. It’s 20 times more potent than retinol, has a much better evidence base for treating signs of aging, and we find it is pretty well tolerated. It also helps with acne and pigmentation, which is a bonus.

3. AHA’s Glycolic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Lactic Acid

They all help to brighten the skin, improve texture and promote cell turnover. They can also be helpful for acne too. It’s worth asking a skincare specialist which one’s better for your skin type.

4. Hydroquinone

Not needed for everyone, but if you have a pigmentation problem this baby’s a game changer.

5. Vitamin C

The new guy on the block with a pretty good evidence base for tackling fine lines & wrinkles . Lots of different strengths and formulas in the market, but not always well tolerated so some people need a gentle introduction. Remember that not all skincare ingredients might be suitable for your skin type so Consultation is essential. I also recommend trying before you buy so you don’t spend a fortune on online products that make a mess of your skin.

TL;DR?

You don’t need us to tell you how important skincare products are to your regime, but it helps know you’re using what’s right for you .
