Treatments

Treatment skincare refers to specialist products designed to target specific skin concerns, such as acne, pigmentation, fine lines, redness, or uneven texture. These products go beyond basic cleansing and moisturising, delivering active ingredients to improve skin health and appearance.

Treatment products work by using high-performance, clinically proven ingredients — such as retinol, vitamin C, glycolic acid, or niacinamide — to correct or improve skin concerns. They work at a deeper level than standard skincare, often encouraging cell turnover, boosting collagen, or reducing inflammation.

Anyone with a specific skin concern can benefit from treatment skincare. Whether you’re looking to reduce breakouts, fade dark spots, calm rosacea, or smooth fine lines, there are targeted products available. A skin consultation can help you choose the right ones for your skin type and goals.

Not always. Many professional treatment products are available over the counter, but some stronger formulas — such as prescription-strength retinoids — require a consultation with a qualified practitioner. At Face Dr, our experts can recommend the most effective options for your needs.

Introduce treatment products slowly, starting a few times per week and building up to daily use as your skin adjusts. Always cleanse first, apply the treatment, then follow with a moisturiser and SPF during the day to protect your results.

Results vary depending on the concern and product, but most people start to notice improvements within 4–12 weeks. Consistency is key — using treatment products as recommended will give the best long-term results.

Yes, but you need to be careful with combining actives to avoid irritation. For example, retinol and exfoliating acids may be used on alternate nights rather than together. A personalised routine designed by a skin expert can ensure you get maximum benefits safely.
