Introduction
When it comes to skincare, using the right products can make all the difference. At Newcastle Skin Shop, we pride ourselves on offering only medically-tested products, handpicked by our Medical Director, Nurse Luisa Scott, to ensure they deliver real, transformative results. In this post, we'll explore the benefits of using clinically proven skincare solutions and highlight some of our top recommendations for various skin concerns.
1. Why Medically Tested Products Make a Difference
Medically tested products undergo rigorous clinical trials to ensure they are both safe and effective. Unlike over-the-counter products, these formulations are backed by scientific research to address specific skin concerns such as ageing, acne, and sensitivity.
- Key Benefit: Medically tested skincare is designed to penetrate deeper layers of the skin, providing targeted treatment for long-lasting results.
- Who Should Use Them: Ideal for anyone struggling with persistent skin issues or simply looking to enhance their skincare routine with proven results.
2. Gentle Yet Effective: The Right Cleanser for Sensitive Skin
One of the most crucial steps in any skincare routine is cleansing. Using a harsh cleanser can strip your skin’s natural oils, leading to irritation and dryness. Instead, opt for Avene Tolerance Extreme Cleansing Lotion, which is specifically designed for sensitive skin.
- How to Use: Apply to damp skin, gently massage, and rinse with lukewarm water.
- Why We Recommend It: Formulated with Avene’s signature thermal spring water, this cleanser helps to calm inflammation and maintain the skin’s natural barrier.
3. Hydration for All Skin Types with Medik8
Hydrated skin is healthy skin, and medically-tested products like the Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Serum provide deep hydration without clogging pores. This lightweight serum is perfect for all skin types, especially those prone to dehydration.
- How to Use: Apply a few drops to clean skin morning and night.
- Key Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid for intense hydration and vitamin B5 to soothe and repair the skin.
4. Tackling Acne with Intradermology
Acne is one of the most common skin concerns, and treating it effectively requires products that are both gentle and effective. The Intradermology Clear Skin Mask is designed to purify and balance oily, acne-prone skin. Enriched with salicylic acid and kaolin clay, it helps to draw out impurities while minimising the appearance of pores.
- How to Use: Apply a thin layer to the face once a week and leave on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing.
- Why It Works: Salicylic acid helps to exfoliate and clear clogged pores, while clay absorbs excess oil for a clearer complexion.
5. Supplements for Skin Health: The Power of Skinade
Healthy skin starts from within, and adding a supplement like Skinade to your daily routine can work wonders. This collagen-boosting drink enhances skin elasticity, reduces fine lines, and promotes hydration.
- How to Use: Drink one bottle daily to see results in as little as 30 days.
- Key Benefit: Skinade is scientifically formulated to boost collagen production, helping your skin look and feel more youthful.
6. Anti-Ageing Essentials: Medik8 Retinol
For those concerned with fine lines and wrinkles, the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 is a game-changer. This medically-tested retinol serum helps to accelerate cell turnover and boost collagen, revealing smoother, firmer skin.
- How to Use: Apply at night, starting twice a week and gradually increasing usage.
- Why We Recommend It: Retinol is one of the most researched anti-ageing ingredients, proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Conclusion
Using medically tested products can transform your skin by delivering real, noticeable results. Whether you're dealing with acne, ageing, or sensitivity, investing in scientifically-backed solutions is the key to achieving your best skin yet.
