The Online Dermatology Services Worth Trying

The Online Dermatology Services Worth Trying

Statistics show there are more than 2,000 skin disorders in the UK – many of which are going untreated given the limited access to clinics and leading professionals during lockdown. It’s little surprise, therefore, to see experts taking their services online. Offering thorough consultations, check-ups and product recommendations, you can now receive personalised advice, for a more affordable price. Here are three which get our vote…

Skin+Me 

Who’s Behind It? Founded by James Mishreki, Skin+Me is for anyone struggling with skin conditions, and wants to know how to treat them gently. Born out of the desire to offer trusted solutions, with direct-to-consumer expert advice, their service allows you to tackle issues head on, with fully personalised solutions.

How It Works: One of the latest digital services to cause a stir in the beauty industry, it’s led by dermatologists and offers tailored advice and products – all of which are delivered to your door monthly. Easy to follow, you describe your issues on their site, take pictures of your skin, and a special routine will be created just for you, with products sent direct. From ageing concerns to pigmentation, spots and blackheads, they cover everything, with specialist treatments vetted by dermatologists and pharmacists – all of whom are on hand to answer questions throughout your prescription journey. You only have to check the before and after snaps to see how impressive the results are. 

The Cost: From £19.99

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

Get Harley 

Who’s Behind It? Charmaine Chow – who used to work in finance – suffered from stubborn breakouts, so she knows just how frustrating it can be to find effective remedies. That’s where Get Harley came in – a website offering specific treatments backed by some of the best practitioners in the business, it’s service you can rely on, with impressive results, too. 

How It Works: Skincare novices, or anyone looking to up their regime are bound to find what they’re looking for with Get Harley. The site offers expert advice with face-to-face consultations (accessible across the globe), so you can expect thorough solutions to your biggest concerns and issues. Just like Dermatica, begin by filling out your personal details, describing your key issues, then a practitioner will call you to discuss your options. This lasts no longer than 30 minutes and is full of insightful tips, as well as a potential diagnosis of certain conditions and a thorough skincare plan. Each expert is completely unbiased too, so any product recommendations feel authentic – ideal if you don’t like sticking to one brand. You’ll love how clean and simple the site is too, making the entire process seamless and straightforward. 

The Cost: Varied by expert, starting from £75+
