Prescription skincare made simple
Scientifically-backed skincare, tailored for midlife
Conditions we treat
Ageing
Fine lines, wrinkles, and dryness naturally occur as we age, often accelerated by sun exposure. Viv Skin’s anti-aging formulations aim to support your skin’s resilience and radiance.
Rosacea
Rosacea is an inflammatory condition characterised by redness and small bumps, often triggered by factors like heat, alcohol, or weather changes. Viv Skin treats erythematotelangiectatic and papulopustular rosacea with targeted prescription options.
Pigmentation
(coming soon)
Sun exposure, aging, and hormonal changes can cause areas of pigmentation, including sunspots and melasma. Viv Skin’s customised treatments target these concerns to reveal a more even skin tone.
What we don’t treat
Viv Skin offers prescription-based formulations for specific skin conditions affecting midlife women. For advanced dermatological needs or cosmetic treatments such as laser, Botox, fillers, or oral medications, please consult a GP or dermatologist.
