Elixskin

I'll be honest… I'm not a salesperson. I don't push products and I never will.

But I do get asked all the time what's actually worth buying, so here's my truth:

Your cleanser and moisturiser can be anything. Seriously. Pick one you like, that feels nice and doesn't irritate your skin, and move on.

Actives are where your money should go. They're the products that actually change your skin, and that's why they're the only things I sell in clinic.

The ones I keep coming back to:

KRX 31 Eye Cream – for the delicate under-eye area that shows tiredness first

ISOV Retinol – the backbone of any routine for texture, fine lines and overall skin renewal

KRX Mela Defense – for anyone fighting pigmentation and uneven tone

Dermathod Pads – an easy, no-fuss way to keep your skin smooth and fresh

Not sure which one suits your skin? Ask me in clinic or drop me a message and I'll tell you honestly, even if the answer is "you don't need it."

My eyes, one month apart 👀

All I've changed is using the KRX Active 31 eye cream every day. No needles, no treatment, just consistency with a clinically proven Korean eye cream.

But here's the honest bit, because I'm not here to sell you a jar that won't work for you…

An eye cream can only do so much.

If your under eyes look crepey, thin or crinkly, cream alone won't rebuild that. That's when we look at polynucleotides to strengthen and regenerate the skin from within.

If your dark circles are pigmentation (that brown, shadowy tone that concealer never quite covers), you'll need our dark circle treatment to actually target it.

Every pair of eyes is different, which is why we never give a one-size-fits-all answer.

Plot twist: today I'm the client and Carel's the one in control 👀

I've spent years sculpting other people's jawlines, but my own double chin has always been the thing I tuck away in photos. Chin down, angle up, crop it out. If you know, you know.

So I handed myself over to the person I trust most, in clinic and out of it. Yes, it's a little strange letting your partner treat your face. But there's nobody I'd rather have doing it, because I know exactly how carefully he works.

The best part? No needles, no downtime. Just lie back, relax, and get on with your day straight after.

Double chin sculpting isn't about chasing a "perfect" face. It's about softening the area that makes you hide from the camera, so you can stop worrying about your side profile and just enjoy the moment.

Be honest, what's the one angle you always avoid in photos? 👇

Want to know if double chin sculpting is right for you? DM us CHIN and we'll talk you through it, no pressure.

You came in for a treatment and left with a bag of products vou didn't want because saying no felt awkward. We've heard this from so many clients, and some of them never went back to that clinic.

That will NEVER happen here

We're not salespeople and we're not pushing an expensive brand.

We only recommend products we've seen work, and only when your skin needs them.
Your treatment is what you came for.

Has this happened to you?

Those little dark spots on your cheeks aren't pigmentation… and that's exactly why your serums aren't shifting them 👀

If you've got small, dark, raised bumps around your cheeks, under your eyes, on your forehead or neck, you might be dealing with DPN (Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra).

So many of our clients come in feeling frustrated. They've spent money on brightening creams, vitamin C, peels and "dark spot correctors"… and nothing changes. Some have even been told it's just hyperpigmentation. It's not your fault. It's simply the wrong treatment for the wrong concern.

Here's the difference:

Pigmentation is flat. It sits within the skin as a change in colour, which is why brightening ingredients and peels can help fade it.

DPN is raised. These are small benign growths that sit on top of the skin. They're harmless, but because they're a growth rather than a colour change, topical products can't fade them away.

DPN is really common in melanin-rich skin, often runs in families, and tends to increase in number with age. It's completely normal, but we know it can affect how confident you feel in your skin, especially when they start to multiply.

The good news? With the right assessment and a targeted removal treatment, DPN can be treated safely, with care taken to protect darker skin tones from scarring or marks afterwards.

So… about that baby 👶

We told you we'd kept a secret. Then we posted a photo of us holding a baby. No caption. No announcement. Nothing.

And you went wild. Congratulations, hearts, DMs asking when it happened ( we appreciate you ❤️) and others just knew it was fake.

That photo was AI. And most of you know we've never wanted a baby. But it looked real, so you believed it.

That's the secret: not everything you see on social media is real.

The same thing happens with skin every day. Filtered before-and-afters. Edited results. AI-smoothed faces selling treatments that can't deliver what the photo shows. People spend hundreds and feel like they failed when their skin doesn't match.

At elixSKIN, what you see is what we actually did. Real clients. Real scars. Real lighting. No filters.

So we're curious: why do you think a fake baby got more love than real results we've spent months creating? Tell us below 👇

(And no, there's still no baby.)

PDRN serum won't fix your scars. Here's why 👇

Topical PDRN is brilliant for your skin barrier. It calms, hydrates and supports repair on the surface. But acne scars aren't a surface problem.

Scars sit deeper, where collagen was damaged and the skin healed unevenly. A serum can't reach that level in a meaningful way.

That's why for scars, we inject PDRN. Placing it directly into the dermis means it works where the damage actually is, supporting regeneration from within.

So if you've been layering PDRN serums and wondering why your scars look the same, it's not you. It's the delivery method.

Topical = barrier support
Injected = scar repair

Have you tried PDRN skincare before? Tell me below 👇

DM "PDRN" and we'll talk you through whether injectable PDRN is right for your scars.
