THE SCIENCE

Why The Skin Diary Works

Developed by consultant dermatologists, including Professor Chris Griffiths OBE, and clinically validated through research at the University of Manchester.

Built on a three-step biological approach of Protect, Renew and Restore. Each formula works in harmony with the skin to deliver visible, long-term results.

Protect

Powerful antioxidants help defend skin against UV-induced oxidative stress and environmental damage, reducing inflammation and helping to prevent premature skin ageing.

Renew

Advanced actives support collagen and elastin production, helping to improve skin structure, firmness and elasticity over time.

Restore

Barrier-strengthening ingredients help replenish hydration and support the skin’s natural repair processes, improving resilience and overall skin health.

Together, this clinically developed system helps protect, repair and restore skin at a cellular level, delivering visible improvements without irritation.

Developed and clinically tested by consultant dermatologists at the University of Manchester, The Skin Diary is built on advanced skin science rather than trends.

What Our Customers Say

Trusted by customers and clinics across the UAE, The Skin Diary is delivering visible results, without irritation.

I’ve been using the Skin Diary day cream and night cream for a little over a month now and I honestly don’t feel like I could use anything else on my skin now. I adore the texture and neither cream is oily. I have had combination/problem skin for a long time and some acne flare ups on the chin area. These Skin Diary creams are soothing and have not caused me to flare up once since I began using them - rather my skin is much smoother, the pigmentation is more even and it feels I’ve achieved a deep level of hydration that I’ve never got from any other skin cream before. Thank goodness for these creams - a total game changer.

I use the skin diary day cream and night repair and I absolutely love these products! The day cream is SPF 50 which is amazing and my skin has been looking healthier and firmer since using them. I couldn't be happier and will continue using both.
