Doctor knows best

Skincare brands have long looked to science to create face creams and serums packed with powerful ingredients designed to slow the signs of ageing. But who knows better what's good for your skin than a doctor?

Realising this, a number of top dermatologists, plastic surgeons and research scientists have joined the ranks with their own hi-tech skincare lines.

Dermatologist and author Dr Nicholas Perricone created Perricone MD based on research into the ageing effects of inflammation.

The brand's Acyl-Glutathione is designed to deliver the powerful antioxidant glutathione into the skin, reducing fragility and thinness while improving moisture absorption.
