50-year-old going through menopause hails £5 anti-ageing serum
People into skincare often struggle to find effective products that don’t break the bank. It can be particularly challenging to find something tailored to individual skin types, but Skin + Me may have just the answer.
On their website, after completing a consultation, shoppers can get their own bespoke Daily Doser for an introductory price of £4.99, with subsequent ones costing £24.99. Skin + Me provides a variety of services and products, but this one offers a personalised plan devised by a member of their dermatology team who scrutinises every consultation to ensure the product is right for each person.
The Daily Doser, designed for use in evening routines, comes personalised with the buyer’s name on it. The brand claims that when formulating the Doser, they consider skin type, tone, medical history and skincare experience to ensure the plan is spot on.
The ingredients used by the brand are touted as ‘gold-standard’ and are said to not only aid ageing skin, but also treat conditions like acne, rosacea and pigmentation. They also address issues related to skin texture, visible pores and overall skin health. For those new to actives, the brand starts them off on low concentrations of the Daily Doser and then gradually increases as the skin builds tolerance, reports the Mirror.
Customers can also purchase the full routine including a Cleanser, Moisturiser, Daily Moisturiser with SPF 50, Sunscreen and Serum from Skin + Me. If they choose to opt in, additional items are priced at £29.99 for the Cleanser and Moisturiser set, and £19.99 each for the Sunscreen and Serum, which are dispatched every eight weeks.
Once the skincare has been shipped out, customers can also benefit from regular check-ins with the dermatology team to see if plans need to be adjusted, or if they simply require expert advice at any given moment. All products are also vegan and cruelty-free.
Naturally, there are other brands available that also provide consultations and products. For instance, The Inkey List offers a free online quiz where customers can create their own personalised skincare routine. They then offer a variety of products depending on the results, such as a large Hyaluronic Acid Serum for £16.50, an Oat Cleansing Balm for £9, or an Omega Water Cream for £8.25.
Face Dr also provides a free consultation on its website, where customers can book a free video skincare consultation and then receive a customised product treatment plan. Its products include an Obagi Hydrate Light Weightless Gel Cream for £54, an ELASTIderm Eye Cream for £108, or a ZO Exfoliating Cleanser for £38.70.
Skin + Me has garnered numerous positive reviews, with one Trustpilot user writing: “My skin was looking dull and grey, and fine lines were creeping in. As a 50-year-old woman going through the menopause, I began to notice changes in my skin. After only the first few months of using the Skin + Me Daily Doser, I noticed a significant improvement – my skin glows again, my 11s are significantly reduced, the pesky spots have gone… and it just keeps getting better! I’m also no longer wasting money on expensive lotions and potions that never work.”
On the Skin + Me website, another customer commented: “I struggled with my skin but couldn’t find a solution. I’ve gone from never going without a full face of foundation and feeling uncomfortable bare-faced to only wearing concealer. I apply Skin + Me every night without fail and each month gets better and better. I struggled with rough and bumpy skin texture but couldn’t find a solution. Skin + Me completely transformed my skin. I’m more confident than ever.”
Nevertheless, on Trustpilot, some reviewers deducted a star, noting: “Really easy to get started and the Daily Doser is so innovative, helps you know exactly how much to use each time. Helped get my skin under control but doesn’t always help long term.”
On the whole, the majority of customers were satisfied, with another stating: “Great company, easy website to navigate and fantastic customer service. Been using the Daily Doser for eight months and it has completely transformed my skin, love it!”
