Introducing a new partnership

Introducing Our Dermatologist Panel  

Helping you understand your skin has always been at the heart of what we do. It’s why we offer virtual consultations with our skin experts, and regularly produce advice led content across our Skin Hub and Skincare and Beyond podcast, so you can get honest, expert guidance whenever you need it. Our new partnership with Skin Health Alliance takes that a step further. We’ve brought together a panel of dermatologists to answer the questions we know you’re asking, whether that’s about breakouts, sensitivity, ageing or how your wider wellbeing shows up in your skin and hair. New answers will be added regularly, each one clear, evidence-led and explained in a way that’s easy to apply to your own routine.  

About the Skin Health Alliance

We're the Skin Health Alliance: the world's leading independent skin health accreditation body. You may have seen our logo on some of your favourite skin and personal care products, which means they have been dermatologically approved by us for meeting our high standards of skin safety and efficacy. 

Alongside our product accreditation, we also work with dermatologists, scientists and industry leaders to advance skin health education, support skin disease research, and build everyone's skin confidence. 

Why the Skin Health Alliance are excited to partner with Face the Future

We’re thrilled to partner with Face the Future; an organisation whose high standards and fantastic reputation we’ve long admired.  

The Skin Health Alliance and Face the Future share a core commitment: improving skin health education and cutting through all the confusing misinformation out there online. By combining Face the Future’s trusted platform with guidance from our independent dermatologists, this partnership lets us bring clear, reliable, expert-led advice straight to you.  

Together, we want to empower you to care for your skin with complete peace of mind, backed by advice firmly grounded in skin safety and science.
