🧪 The ID Ingredient Edit

This week’s ingredient: *lGlyceri

Glycerin is one of the most effective humectants used in skincare. It works by attracting water into the skin, helping to maintain hydration and support a healthy skin barrier.

✨ Why do dermatologists recommend it?

✔ Helps maintain skin hydration

✔ Supports a healthy skin barrier

✔ Leaves skin feeling softer and smoother

✔ Suitable for almost all skin types, including sensitive skin

🌿 Final word

Hydrated skin functions better. Glycerin is a simple but highly effective ingredient that works well in almost every skincare routine.

☀️ Choosing the right SPF doesn’t have to be complicated.

In this reel, we’re breaking down some of our favourite mineral SPFs and who they’re best suited for:

✨ UV Clear– Lightweight and ideal for acne-prone or rosacea-prone skin.

🧴 Elta UV Clear Tinted – The same great formula, with added iron oxides for extra protection against visible light.

🏃 Elta UV Sport – Water-resistant, suitable for face and body, and perfect for active days or holidays.

💧 Glow & Go – A richer formula for dry or dehydrated skin, and a great option for patients with melasma.

👶 Elave Pediatric SPF – Gentle enough for babies, but suitable for the whole family.

Whatever SPF you choose, remember to apply enough and reapply throughout the day for the best protection.

Subtle. Natural. Personalised.

At the Institute of Dermatologists, anti-wrinkle injections are performed exclusively by our Consultant Dermatologists and Oculo surgeons following a detailed facial assessment.

Every face moves differently, which is why every treatment plan is tailored to the individual.

Our goal isn’t to create a frozen appearance.

It’s to soften expression lines while maintaining natural facial movement and preserving what makes you look like you.

Book your anti-wrinkle injections consultation at The Institute of Dermatologists to discuss whether anti-wrinkle injections are right for you.

❌ The myth

‘You only need sunscreen on sunny days.”

✅ The reality

UVB rays are strongest during the summer months and are responsible for sunburn.

But UVA rays are present all year round, even when it’s cloudy. They pe*****te deeper into the skin, contribute to premature skin ageing and can even pass through glass.

☀️ Daily protection matters

Sunscreen should be part of your skincare routine 365 days a year, not just on hot, sunny days.

When you’re outdoors, remember to reapply every two hours, particularly after swimming or sweating.

🌿 Final word

Don't let the weather decide whether you wear sunscreen. UV exposure happens every day, even when you can’t see the sun.

💬 The question

“Oral or topical minoxidil, which is better?”

✅ The answer

Both oral and topical minoxidil can be effective treatments for certain types of hair loss, but neither is automatically the right choice for everyone.

Topical minoxidil is applied directly to the scalp, while oral minoxidil is taken as a tablet and may be considered in selected patients under medical supervision.

🧬 Which one should you choose?

The decision depends on a number of factors, including the cause of your hair loss, your medical history, potential side effects and your lifestyle.

This is why an accurate diagnosis is always the first step before starting treatment.

🌿 Final word

Hair loss isn’t one condition, it’s a symptom with many possible causes. Understanding why you’re losing hair is key to choosing the most appropriate treatment.

🧪 The ID Ingredient Edit

This week’s ingredient: Vitamin C

Vitamin C is one of the most researched ingredients in skincare and is best known for its antioxidant properties.

It helps defend the skin against environmental stressors while supporting a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

✨ Why do dermatologists recommend it?

✔ Helps brighten dull-looking skin

✔ Supports a more even skin tone

✔ Helps reduce the appearance of pigmentation

✔ Supports healthy collagen production

🌿 **Final word**

Vitamin C works best as part of a consistent morning skincare routine alongside a daily sunscreen, helping to support healthy, resilient skin over time.

Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp.

Just like your skin, your scalp needs the right care to stay balanced, hydrated and resilient—especially during the summer months.

Sun exposure, chlorine, salt water and frequent washing can all leave the scalp feeling dry and uncomfortable.

That’s why a consistent haircare routine matters.

The range has been developed to help care for both the scalp and hair, supporting healthier-looking hair from the root.

Because healthy hair starts long before the ends.
