We asked a few of the capital’s finest skincare experts for the single place, product or treatment protocol that they currently love the most. Here’s what they had to say...

“I have long advocated PDRN [polydeoxyribonucleotide, derived from salmon DNA] so I returned to South Korea, found some of the highest purity and concentration PDRN products, tested them all and began stocking the best at my clinic. The Pyderin product range is my pick!”

“My top facial recommendations? You know you’ll always have a great treatment with a Biologique Recherche ambassador. My favourite locations are Left Bank in Paris, and the one in Rome, where I always see Sabrina, who’s incredible.”

Dr Barbara Sturm’s Glow Drops give beautiful hydration and an instant luminosity. I couldn’t be without them.”

£125, Spacenk.com

Karen Bartov

“The future of aesthetics is about smarter treatments, not more aggressive ones. That’s why I introduced RedTouch Pro into my clinic. I’d been waiting for a technology that doesn’t just treat the visible signs of ageing but also addresses the biological cause. It encourages the skin to produce new, high-quality collagen, rather than simply resurfacing the skin.”

Joanne Evans

“The product I value most? Skin Matters calming gel, which I developed after seeing clients struggling with reactive, compromised skin. It calms inflammation, supports the barrier and helps the skin recover after treatments or everyday stress.”

“I adore Nooance beauty tech right now. For me, its LED devices are a true gamechanger.”

Nooance Elite X600 LED mask, £599, Nooance-paris.com

Debbie Thomas

“The newest generation of IPL is XPL by Lumenis. It softens redness, pigmentation and blotchiness, while gentle fractional lasers such as LaseMD Ultra support smoother texture, luminosity and early ageing changes. The exciting part is how carefully combining technologies can improve the way skin reflects light.”

Dr Priya Verma

“I could not live without Alastin A-LUMINATE brightening serum. It combines peptide technology with niacinamide and tranexamic acid to even skin tone, brighten the skin, calm inflammation and boost collagen without irritation.”
