WHAT IS MEDICAL SKINCARE?
We have trialed thousands of medical skincare products and have secured a number of exclusive ranges of high end, luxury cosmeceuticals and prescription skin products which have all undergone rigorously medical testing to prove that they really WORK. We have also designed our own range of luxury body lotion and soothing lip balm.
How many times have you spent hours browsing the beauty halls looking at the myriad of choices in the hope of finding a cream that really keeps its promises? One of the most common questions when we try to choose from the hundreds of shiny, little jars is “will it work?”
Rather than wasting your money over and over again through a trial and error process, we think it is be better to understand the difference between products before buying them. This way you can ensure you go shopping armed with a full knowledge of what different products can do for your skin. Ask us what products would suit your skin and save yourself time and money.

A cosmetic product can only be applied to the outer surface of the skin and so it cannot directly treat a specific disease. It cannot pass through the dermal-epidermal joining, which is the area between the epidermis and dermis. However, it can maintain, protect, clean, add fragrance to, and change the appearance of any area of the epidermis’ surface that it is applied to.
In contrast, cosmeceuticals are able to penetrate the epidermis. The active principles are able to pass through the epidermis and act deep within the dermis.
If a product contains ingredients that can penetrate or change the functioning of the skin, it cannot be sold over the counter. These kinds of products require a medical prescription. When a product must be prescribed by a doctor, it is classified as a therapeutic product.
