According to the clinic, there is particular interest surrounding its anti-acne range, which contains a peptide exclusive to sk:n in Euorpe – oligopeptide 10 – specifically developed to fight acne-causing bacteria. The range includes Skin Hydrator for Oily/Acne-prone Skin, to be applied after cleansing; Maintenance Serum for when spots are under control, which can be supplemented with Blemish Control Lotion for when spots are inflamed; Pore Refining Lotion to regenerate cell turnover; and Intense Spot Lotion – a pocket sized dispenser version of the Blemish Control Lotion to treat blemishes on the go.

The sk:n skin care range features colour coded packaging and simple terminology to help navigate consumers through their options, while an explanatory leaflet aims to educate consumers about their skin, the different products within the range and how the ingredients in these products work to solve their specific dermatological issues.
