Product FAQs
Sarah Chapman Skinesis formulas are suitable for all skin tones and concerns, and all products are used within our clinic facials. Our experience of treating skin within the clinic, enables us to deal with concerns such as hyperpigmentation and sensitivities found within darker skin tones, using products which even out skintone while protecting, supporting and hydrating.
We recommend starting with a good cleanser and a night product, and then adding to your routine gradually as your skin acclimatises. You might like to try one of our many travel-size products, so that you can see how the formula works with your skin before purchasing a full-size formula. Our bestselling, most-loved hero products also make a great place to start: Ultimate Cleanse, Intense Hydrating Booster, Eye Recovery, Dynamic Defence, Skin Insurance SPF 30/50+, 3D Moisture Infusion, The Facialift, and Overnight Facial.

Whilst every complexion is different, many of our clients with sensitive skin have found Skinesis products excellent for their concerns. We do have some products created specifically for sensitive skin: Ultimate Cleanse, Comfort Cream D-stress, Ultra Recovery Booster, Liquid Facial D-stress, and 3D Moisture Infusion. We would not recommend using our Pro Hydro-Mist Steamer on complexions prone to rosacea, as the heat may cause further irritation.
Sarah Chapman Skinesis proudly does not, and never has, tested its products on animals.
Absolutely; although due to the potent nature of our formulas, we believe you will see more dramatic results from a complete Skinesis regime.
Usually 1-2 pumps, but we recommend following the instructions on each product, as this may vary.

Always consult your doctor or medical practitioner about which products you should use after your procedure.
We recommend consulting your doctor or medical practitioner for advice on specific formulas.
We consider Skinesis products to be safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, including those containing vitamin A and its derivatives (retinoids). While it is important to avoid all prescription-strength vitamin A products and medications during these periods, the forms and concentrations of vitamin A used in our formulations have been independently assessed as safe when following the recommended instructions for use. The skin can become more sensitive during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, so you may wish to remove your vitamin A products from your routine and try slowly reintroducing them over time. If you have concerns about using any topical vitamin A during your pregnancy, we will always recommend speaking with your doctor to make a choice you feel comfortable with.

This is not a cause for concern – Skinesis products are highly potent, and the concentrated active ingredients may stimulate a response in the skin. However, this should not be painful – if you experience burning, itching or warmth, please get in touch with us and we will be able to advise you.

All age groups will benefit from a health-boosting anti-ageing regime – consistency is key, so the longer you use effective products for, the better results you will see. Ideally, starting to use anti-ageing formulas in your 20s will help to prevent early signs of ageing by inhibiting collagen breakdown and replenishing vital nutrients and moisturising factors that will keep skin radiant and youthful.
This depends on a variety of factors; from the rate at which your skin cells regenerate, to the specific actives you’re using. Some of our formulas will deliver instant effects; whilst others (like retinol) often take time to reveal their results. We generally advise you use a product for three months before assessing its effect on your skin.
Whilst some of our current packaging is recyclable, we are continuing to work hard to find more sustainable packaging options. Our packaging is specifically designed to be airtight and opaque, to ensure the actives within don’t lose potency. Maintaining these benefits within environmentally friendly packaging is a challenge – but one that we are working on!
If you visit our clinic you are welcome to drop off your empties as we partner with Terracycle for recycling.
