Adult acne in your 30s and 40s is more common than most people realise - and most of the advice out there is wrong. Here are three myths that could be making it worse

Niacinamide does more than you think. 🔋

Most people know it for brightening and barrier support. But here’s what’s actually happening inside your skin cells: niacinamide helps drive production of ATP - the energy molecule your mitochondria run on. It also improves the mitochondria’s ability to cope with a surge in energy demand, such as when damaging UV strikes the skin.

That cellular energy powers everything. Barrier repair. Collagen production. DNA damage correction. Bright, clear skin isn’t just about what you put on the surface - it starts with how well your skin cells can do their job.

Mitochondrial health is at the heart of it.

My summer makeup top 5 ☀️

These are the products I am using on repeat this summer to keep my makeup looking fresh, polished and glowy, without ever feeling heavy or overdone. Perfect for when you want your skin to still look like (expensive-looking) skin.

Comment SUMMER and I’ll send you all the links.

Your skin runs on energy.

Every day, your mitochondria power collagen production and housekeeping functions like barrier repair and fixing DNA damage. But as they age, energy output declines... and every one of those processes suffers.

And that’s where things get interesting…

Stay tuned. 👀

Those flat, stubborn marks left behind after a breakout? That’s post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and it often outlasts the original problem.

Azelaic acid is the ingredient you need. It calms inflammation, blocks pigment production, and turns over new skin cells, all at once.

Comment PIH and I’ll send you my complete guide to fading dark marks for good.

Consistent use delivers real results - let me know if you try it. ✨

Azelaic acid is one of my most-used ingredients. This is how I think about matching strength to concern - and when to move up. SAVE it and share with a friend who needs azelaic acid in their life.

Dr Sam’s turns eight this year, and I’ve been thinking about what that means.

Eight years of trusting that skin health really does matter. Eight years of you championing a brand built on science, not noise. Eight years of patients, customers, and a community that chose to believe in what we were building, often before we had the proof to back it up.

Thank you. You spread the word when we were small, you trusted me with your skin, and you kept coming back.

Thank-you to the team who have made Dr Sam’s possible: you have shaped this brand more than you know. We started with a belief that when you change your skin, you change your life. Eight years in, it’s what keeps driving us forward. We’re only just getting started! 🚀

Nervous about using acids in summer? Azelaic acid is the one to look at first as it doesn’t increase photosensitivity or thin your skin’s barrier. Helpfully, it regulates excess pigment production while calming inflammation and clearing your pores. If your skin gets angry every summer, this ingredient deserves your attention.
