Have you ever felt frustrated with your skincare? If you are hopping between brands, layering endless serums, or feeling like your skin just isn’t improving no matter how much you spend, you’re not alone. The next step is to ask yourself, if your skincare routine is working.
One of the most common things we hear in clinic is:
“I’ve got a drawer full of products and no idea what’s actually working.”
Between TikTok trends, skincare influencers, and viral ingredient lists, it’s no wonder so many people are overwhelmed. Everyone’s skin is different and needs the right tailored skincare so don’t be surprised if you aren’t seeing the same results as your favourite celebrity or influencer.
Why Skincare Often Fails to Deliver
There are a few really common reasons people struggle to see results from their routine:
Using too many active ingredients – which can actually damage your skin barrier and leave you red, dry, or breaking out.
Skipping key steps like SPF – which means all that effort can be undone by daily sun exposure.
Chopping and changing too often – never giving your skin a chance to actually respond to a product.
Using products that aren’t right for your skin type or concern – which is incredibly common with off the shelf skincare.
We’ve seen it time and time again and the good news is, you can absolutely turn it around.
What Your Skin Actually Needs
A good skincare routine doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, a stripped back approach often works best, especially if your skin is feeling sensitised or unbalanced. The building blocks of healthy skin are simpler than you think:
Gentle but effective cleanser – to clean the skin without disrupting its natural barrier. We recommend Refresh Gentle Cleanser.
Well formulated serum – that targets your specific concerns, whether that’s hydration, pigmentation, dullness, or fine lines such as our Revive Hyaluronic Acid Serum.
Quality moisturiser – to support your skin barrier and lock in hydration. Take a look at our Vital Hydrate Moisturiser here.
Daily SPF – non negotiable. Even in winter. Even in the UK. We recommend using SPF 50.
Once you have the essentials, your skincare routine can evolve. That might mean introducing a retinol to support ageing skin, or a brightening product to help with sun damage or melasma and we will support you with this.
