Skin In The 20s: 

Defensive Strategy & Barrier Health

The Biological Shift:

High oil production and peak collagen, but the beginning of environmental “DNA debt.”

In your 20s, your skin is a powerhouse of regeneration. However, this is also when adult acne (often hormonal) can peak, and early sun damage begins to accumulate in the deeper layers.

Common Concerns:

Adult acne, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and early dehydration from lifestyle factors.

Primary Skin Goals:

Stabilise the barrier, control inflammation, and “bank” collagen.

The Clinical Focus & Key Interventions:

pHformula AC/Bespoke Resurfacing:

To clear congestion without the trauma of “peeling.”

We use gentle acids to keep pores clear and prevent the post-acne scarring that becomes harder to treat later.

We prioritise Barrier Maintenance. We want to keep the skin’s “shield” strong while controlling inflammation.

Mesotherapy:

Delivering antioxidants directly into the skin to neutralise pollution and UV damage before it reaches the surface.

The Specialist’s Ingredient Focus:

Niacinamide: To manage oil production and keep pores refined.

Antioxidants (Vitamin C/E): To neutralise the day’s pollution.

The Roadmap Goal:

To enter your 30s with zero “skin debt” and a perfectly balanced barrier.

The Lifestyle Notes:

80% of ageing is caused by the sun. Your 20s is the decade to make SPF a non-negotiable habit. 

Every Journey is Bespoke

While your age provides the context, your skin provides the details.
