THE SKIN ADVISER

Follow-Up Questions

Thanks — that’s helpful. Two things you mentioned are worth a closer look before I build your routine.

1

You said the dark patches appeared this summer — do they darken after time in the sun, even with SPF on?

Yes — mostly on my cheeks and upper lip.

2

Does your skin ever sting or feel tight after cleansing?

Sometimes, with foaming

Answer in your own words — the more you share, the better your plan.

Your Skin Consultation

Prepared for Sarah, 48 — Combination skin with hyperpigmentation concerns

Your Skin Analysis

Your skin concerns are very common for melanin-rich skin during perimenopause. The hormonal changes you experienced around age 50 often trigger increased melanin production, leading to the dark patches on your cheeks and forehead. Your reactions to vitamin C serums suggest a compromised skin barrier — the redness and stinging, especially around your nose, tells us we need gentler approaches.

La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Serum

★ 4.6(892 reviews)
£38.00verified price

Why this for you

Combines niacinamide (melanin transfer inhibitor) with melasyl — a newer molecule clinically shown to reduce dark spots. For your skin tone, preferable to vitamin C serums which triggered your barrier sensitivity.

The other half of the deal

Two minutes, at the bottom of your consultation

That’s the whole ask. Here’s exactly what it looks like.

  1. 1

    Rate it out of 10. One tap, right under your consultation. That alone counts as feedback.

  2. 2

    Answer a few short questions. How sign-up felt, whether the questions made sense, whether the consultation was clear and useful. Multiple choice, about two minutes.

  3. 3

    Tell us anything else — optional. A box for your own words, if you have any. What was missing, what was wrong, what surprised you.

That’s it. No interviews, no calls, no review to post anywhere. If you forget, we’ll send up to three short reminder emails — they stop the moment you answer. Honest, blunt feedback is more useful to us than kind feedback.

A full consultation for you. Two minutes of honesty for us.

How it works

Three steps

You tell us about your skin. We build your consultation. You tell us what you think.

1

Answer the consultation questions

Skin type, tone, concerns, what you’ve tried, what’s on your shelf right now. About 8 minutes. Photos are optional. You’ll create a free account at the end so your consultation is saved — no card details.

2

Your free place is claimed automatically

Where paying customers see the £15 checkout, you go straight through — your place is claimed the moment your account is created, and we start preparing your consultation. Nothing to confirm.

3

Read it, then tell us what you think

Your consultation appears in your account and we email you the moment it’s ready. At the bottom: a one-tap score and a few short questions. Two minutes, and the deal is done.

Your consultation stays in your account to re-read whenever you like — before, during and after the feedback.

Why free

Why we're giving away 200 consultations

We’re new. We’ve built something we think is genuinely useful, and before we spend money telling people about it we want 200 real people with real skin to tell us where it falls short — the questions that didn’t make sense, the recommendation that missed, the thing you wanted and didn’t get. Your feedback decides what we fix first.

Who it’s for

Is this you?

We’d rather the 200 places go to people who’ll get something out of it — and give something back.

This is for you if…

  • You're an adult in the UK with a skin concern you'd genuinely like sorted — breakouts, dark marks, dryness, redness, sensitivity, texture, early lines.

  • You've got a shelf of products and you're not sure which ones are actually for your skin.

  • You're happy to spend about 8 minutes answering properly, in your own words.

  • You'll come back and tell us what you think — good or bad.

Probably not for you if…

  • You have a medical skin condition that needs a doctor. We don't diagnose — if you'd see a GP about it, please do.

  • You're outside the UK. Products and prices are checked at UK retailers, so the report won't hold up elsewhere.

  • You'd like the free report but don't intend to leave feedback. No hard feelings — the place is just better used by someone who will.

Straight answers

Questions people ask about the beta

The honest answer to each. If yours isn’t here, the contact page is.

After you've left feedback, if you'd recommend us, we'll give you a link that gets a friend the consultation for £10 instead of £15. It's optional, and you don't earn anything from it.

Two hundred places. One honest deal.

The full consultation, free. Two minutes of feedback in return. No card details, no subscription, no brand deals — just a proper look at your skin from people with nothing to sell you.
