What causes it

Breakouts happen when pores become blocked with oil and dead skin and then inflamed. Hormones, genetics, stress, some skincare and make-up, and some medicines can all play a part. Adult breakouts, especially around the jaw, are common and often linked to hormones.

How I can help

  • A skin consultation that looks at your routine, products, hormones and health history, as well as your skin.
  • A personalised skincare plan using medical-grade skincare to reduce congestion without stripping the skin.
  • In-clinic peels to clear congestion and brighten, where suitable.

What to expect

Skin usually needs 8 to 12 weeks of a consistent routine to show what it can do. I'll review your progress and adjust the plan.

When to see your GP or a dermatologist

Painful, deep or scarring acne, or acne that isn't improving, needs medical treatment as early as possible to reduce scarring. I'll tell you if that applies and help you get the right care.

Medical-grade skincare

Your plan uses skincare from Obagi, Skinbetter Science and Epicutis, chosen for your skin, with in-clinic treatment where it helps. Everything is explained, including costs, before you decide.
