The skincare edit

Beauticate's skincare coverage is honest reviews, readers' trials and expert advice on what is worth your money, from at-home micro-infusion and La Mer to French pharmacy brands and rules for older skin, with guidance from facialist Jocelyn Petroni, Beauticate's Skin Editor, and cosmetic physician Dr Leanne Girgis.

Skincare is easy to overspend on, so we try to tell you plainly what is worth it and what is not.

Here you will find our reviews of luxury and pharmacy-shelf products, at-home treatments such as micro-infusion, and readers' trials, where a Beauticate Trial Team uses a product in their own bathrooms over a real testing period and reports back honestly.

When a question needs more than a reviewer's opinion, we ask our Skin Editor, Jocelyn Petroni, a facialist with more than 25 years of experience, or Dr Leanne Girgis, a general practitioner and cosmetic physician.

We accept products for consideration but not payment for a positive review. How we decide what to review, and how brands can submit a product, is on the How We Review page.

Common questions

Who advises on skincare at Beauticate?
Jocelyn Petroni, Beauticate's Skin Editor and a facialist with more than 25 years of experience, and Dr Leanne Girgis, a general practitioner and cosmetic physician.
How does Beauticate review skincare?
Products go through the editorial team and, where relevant, Beauticate's contributing experts before anything is written. We do not accept payment for a positive review. Details are on the How We Review page.
What are Beauticate Trial Teams?
Panels of real Beauticate readers, not staff, who use a product in their own homes over a real testing period and report back honestly. See Real Results: 4 Beauticate Readers Trial the Qure Micro-Infusion System.
How often should you use at-home micro-infusion?
Most at-home micro-infusion systems are made for once every two to four weeks, not daily, because skin needs time to recover between sessions. Read our honest review.
