Dermatica
Who’s Behind It? Founded by Dwayne D’Souza, in 2018, Dermatica offers prescriptive skincare and top-end advice online. Since then, it’s enjoyed new-found popularity – notably throughout the pandemic, too – thanks to its ease of use and affordability.
How It Works: All you do is fill out a consultation form, questionnaire and upload some images of your complexion online. Then, their expert team will take a look at your notes and skincare goals before determining the right course of treatment for you. Expect to be offered medical-grade products, efficacious formulas and tailor-made treatments – all of which are recommended by dermatologists, pharmacists and formulation scientists – so you get something that will work for your individual skin type. The best bit? Everything is delivered to your door monthly, including prescriptive treatments which can be notoriously hard to come by. Simplicity and a fuss-free approach is their USP, plus, at just £19.99 a month, it’s far cheaper and more convenient than a string of clinic appointments.
The Cost: First month free, £19.99 per month thereafter
