I like to use a water-based cleanser after a balm or oil cleanser, as this is the step that properly cleanses the skin (after your first cleanse breaks down the SPF and dust on the skin). Niacinamide 4% and Clindamycin 1% lotion, and my prescription has not changed since I started my treatment in January 2021. This cream is applied to the skin, and can be used as part of your PM skincare routine (if you have one! Didn’t like the part where I had to upload photos of course in the most unflattering positions; but I understand the method to the madness.

Any treatments which arrive late or with a close expiry date can be disposed of at your local pharmacy but please do reach out to us with photos of the dispensing labels so we can review these and support you. It’s a great affordable option for those who want to make a more sustainable swap but are on a tight budget- like me! Something I often experience with cleansers is that they can be drying or stripping to the skin after use.It also comes in a nice cardboard box which you could totally use as a carry case when travelling, as long as you let the bar dry fully first. Shampoo bars were one of the first beauty related sustainable swaps I made, and I don’t look back at all! The concealer brush is thick and doesn’t pull skin, which makes putting undereye concealer on a treat (especially as my skin is thinning around this area). For example, my acne treatment contained adapalene, which is an ingredient which can only be accessed through a doctor or dermatologist in the UK.

I still prefer to wear light coverage, as I work from home most days and have hyperpigmentation to cover – you can see it on my forehead in the middle, and to the sides of my cheeks. Catriona has a special interest in medical dermatology and also completed a PhD in psoriasis at King's College London during her training.

I am thinking of booking with the clinic but I am finding it hard to see any independent reviews of their treatments. I have oily skin and I'm able to enjoy their compound formula for hyperpigmentation by itself, without a moisturizer.They also source ingredients that are by-products of other industries and would ordinarily be wasted, to make more sustainable and less wasteful choices as a brand. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. There was a supply issue with one of my items but this was no problem as the seller let me know quickly and generously added an extra item at no charge.

We never test products or ingredients on animals, nor do we allow suppliers or affiliates to conduct testing on our behalf. Niacinamide is also known as vitamin B3, and it can help improve barrier function in the skin, reduce redness, reduce bacteria on the skin and also has anti-ageing benefits. Avnish has a diverse set of scientific skills and uses his knowledge to ensure that patients receive the best possible quality of medicinal products. However, if you have dry hair and dry scalp and what you’re looking for is some real, long-lasting nourishment, then a hair oil like this should give you the results you’re looking for. Overnight facial masks can be really great for dry or dehydrated skin types, but don’t feel like you need to have them.I think this bar cleanses well without stripping the hair at all, but it leaves some residue behind on my scalp. I’m very impressed with the make-up and would recommend them (especially the concealer; it’s so thick and glides on but doesn’t stick in my fine lines).
