"This is about skin health, cosmetic benefits are a welcome side effect"
Dr. Clare Kiely
Skin science is at the heart of everything we do at The Skin Diary. As the global population over the age of 60 is expected to double by 2050, our dermatology team is deeply invested in the understanding of skin ageing biology. Healthy skin is youthful skin and understanding how to achieve your healthiest skin yet, through a deep understanding of the science, is where we come in.
Our ingredient formulations are selected based on our clinical understanding of skin biology and on scientific evidence. Despite many individual ingredients having some impressive research, we stand by the belief that final formulation determines real-world efficacy. That’s why we go beyond theoretical efficacy, and instead test our formulations as a complete, finalised product.
"You can't treat ageing if you don't understand it at a cellular level"
Prof. Chris Griffiths OBE.
For cosmetic products final formulation testing to prove effect often isn't required and the level of evidence is very different than what is required for drug testing. Most cosmetic products lean on level 3 and 4 of the formulation testing pyramid for testing their final formulation. At The Skin Diary, research and proof is crucial to our ethos, which is why we endeavour to conduct our studies at level 1.
