How to start Dermaviduals with me
Dermaviduals is available through consultation only.
If you’re new to the range or looking to continue with it, the first step is a short Skin Pattern Assessment.
1. Book a Skin Pattern Session
A brief one‑to‑one session to understand how your skin tends to behave over time.
2. Receive personalised Dermaviduals guidance
We look at your skin’s patterns, current behaviour, and what may be influencing it.
3. Collect or receive your products
Products can be collected in person or posted (2nd class signed for on orders under £100).
To help you find your way, I’ve grouped Dermaviduals products into six sections. Many products can support more than one area, and formulations can often be customised according to how your skin behaves and what it may need.

Professional skincare that respects skin over time.
Dermaviduals is one of the product ranges I may use when skincare support is appropriate.
I choose products through the same SkinChat lens: what is usual for your skin, what it is showing now, what may be adding load, and what level of support is proportionate.
Sometimes that means introducing product support. Sometimes it means simplifying what you already use. Sometimes the most useful lever is not a product at all.
Dermaviduals is a biomimetic skincare range developed around corneotherapy principles. In simple terms, that means the products are designed to support the skin barrier and work with the skin’s structure rather than repeatedly pushing it to respond.
This does not mean every skin needs Dermaviduals. It means the range fits well with a barrier-aware, proportionate approach when product support is appropriate.
The range avoids fragrance, silicones, mineral oils, and traditional emulsifiers. I do not treat those categories as automatically “bad,” but I value this formulation approach for clients whose skin may benefit from a simpler, barrier-focused routine.
What I value most is that the products are adaptable.
Skin does not behave the same way all the time. Load changes. Seasons change. Life changes. Dermaviduals allows support to be adjusted to what may be most appropriate at that time — rather than following a rigid one-size-fits-all routine.
There is never any pressure to purchase products here.
Some people simply want clarity and understanding around their skin, while others may benefit from additional barrier support at home. If I feel certain products may support your skin more comfortably over time, I’ll explain why — and we decide together what makes sense for you.

Skin Actives
I’m less interested in “trending” skincare and more interested in ingredients that make physiological sense, support the skin barrier, and have a strong body of research behind them.
Many of the actives within the dermaviduals® range are selected not simply because they are popular, but because they are well studied and can be used in a way that respects the skin over time.
Some of the better known actives I might work with:
Vitamin A
Used to support skin renewal, repair, and resilience over time. Often beneficial for skin showing signs of sluggish repair, congestion, pigmentation, or uneven texture.
Vitamin C
A well researched antioxidant used to support collagen synthesis, reduce oxidative stress, and help regulate uneven pigmentation through tyrosinase inhibition.
Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)
Known for its barrier-supportive and anti-inflammatory properties. Frequently used for redness-prone, reactive, breakout-prone, or environmentally stressed skin.
Azelaic Acid
Found within selected dermaviduals formulations such as Complexion Skin Care Liposome Plus. Particularly supportive for skins prone to redness, flushing, congestion, and uneven pigmentation.
Essential Fatty Acids & Phosphatidylcholine Liposomes
One of the foundations of corneotherapy-based support. These ingredients help reinforce barrier function, support skin flexibility and resilience, and improve delivery of actives in a way designed to work with the skin rather than overwhelm it.
Not every skin needs every active.
Support is always guided by:
Blueprint → Signal → Load → Support → BalanceThe aim is never to overload the skin with unnecessary steps, but to support it more appropriately according to how it naturally behaves and what may be influencing it at that time.
