At Livingstone Dermatology, we understand that your skin is a reflection of your health and well-being. We are committed to the latest advancements in dermatological science, and dedicated to providing you with quality care.
Customised skincare is a personalised approach to caring for your skin. Instead of relying on generic products that may or may not work, a plan is created to suit your skin type, lifestyle, and concerns. This means your skincare is not just about treating problems when they appear, but also about maintaining balance and preventing future issues.
Think of it as skincare tailored just for you, with the right products, strengths, and treatments, all carefully chosen with your skin in mind.
Your skin is as unique as your fingerprint. What causes one person’s skin to glow might trigger breakouts in another. Customised skincare works by targeting your skin’s specific needs, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution.
By focusing only on what your skin truly needs, customised skincare helps you see more consistent and lasting improvements.
Our dermatologist will start by assessing your skin type, your daily habits, and any existing conditions. Based on this, a plan is created to:
A customised skincare plan is not just about choosing products off the shelf. It is about tailoring every step of your routine to match your skin’s needs, goals, and lifestyle. The process usually starts with a skin consultation and assessment, where our dermatologist identifies your skin type, underlying issues, and sensitivities. From there, your routine is carefully designed so that each product works in harmony rather than against the others.
A customised routine may include:
Because every skin behaves differently, our dermatologist will also guide you on how to layer these products, how often to use active ingredients, and what to avoid combining. This ensures your skincare is both safe and effective, without unnecessary steps.
Customisation does not stop at just choosing a moisturiser. It can involve a wide range of treatments and plans depending on your needs.
This includes:

Are there any risks associated with Customised Skincare?
When supervised by a dermatologist, customised skincare is very safe. The main risks usually occur when people try to self-diagnose and experiment with strong products at home.
That is why some possible risks that may arise without professional guidance include:
Why should I see a dermatologist for Customised Skincare?
While it can be tempting to piece together your routine from online reviews or social media trends, this often leads to frustration and even damage. Dermatologists are specially trained to understand how different ingredients, especially active ones like acids, retinoids, and prescription creams, interact with your skin.
A dermatologist can:
Healthy and glowing skin is not about chasing every new trend or filling your shelves with products. It is about finding the right care that works for your unique skin. Customised skincare takes away the guesswork and provides a plan designed just for you.
That way, you will be able to address your skin concerns, while balancing your skin’s natural pH and protecting it.

Can I trial and error customised skincare at home?
It may be tempting, but experimenting without guidance can cause irritation, sensitivity, or worsening of skin problems. Our dermatologist helps you skip the trial-and-error phase and get straight to what works.
Is customised skincare only for people with skin problems?
Not at all. Even if you have generally healthy skin, a tailored plan can help maintain skin health, prevent premature ageing, and protect against damage.
How soon will I see results with customised skincare?
This varies depending on your skin concerns and treatment plan. Some people notice improvement in a few weeks, while others see gradual, steady changes over a few months.
Does customised skincare cost more than regular skincare?
While the initial investment may be higher than buying generic products, customised skincare often saves money in the long run by cutting out ineffective products and focusing only on what works.
Does fewer skincare steps mean better and more proactive treatment?
Not always. Skincare is not about the number of steps, but about using the right products in the right way. A customised skincare plan may simplify your routine while still targeting your concerns effectively. Instead of layering many products that might overlap or clash, dermatologists can streamline your regimen, so every step has a purpose. This way, your routine becomes both efficient and proactive in improving and protecting your skin.
Can customised skincare include in-clinic treatments?
Yes. Depending on your needs, your plan may include facials, chemical peels, or laser treatments in addition to topical skincare.
