Retinol is one of the most impactful and evidence based products you can use for creating and maintaining healthy skin. Swipe through to see which of our hero ZO retinols is for you.

KINS patients get exclusive access to our personalised ZO retinol guidance information.

Due to changes taking place to retinol formulations across the EU, current ZO retinols will not be available once remaining stock is sold so if you’re already using a ZO retinol or have been considering introducing one, get in touch to place your order while stocks last.

!!Important retinol update!!

There are changes taking place to retinol formulations across the EU. New regulations around retinol means brands are reformulating certain products to meet updated requirements.

Unfortunately our hero retinol products Retinol Skin Brightener, Wrinkle & Texture Repair and Radical Night Repair will be unavailable once current stock has been sold. These will be replaced with new formulations but with a lighter strength to match.

If you’re already using a ZO retinol or have been considering introducing one, now is a great time to buy while stocks last.

Get in touch to find out more.

We recently welcomed back to the clinic for microneedling.

Microneedling is one of our most popular treatments for improving overall skin quality.

By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, it stimulates the body’s natural healing response and supports collagen and elastin production. Over time, this can help improve the appearance of acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores and stretch marks, leaving skin smoother, firmer and more even in tone and texture.

For an enhanced approach, microneedling can be paired with an add-on like exosomes to support the skin’s recovery process and promote regeneration.

Whether you’re dealing with acne scars, fine lines, or just want a general glow-up, this treatment offers a safe and natural way to support your skin’s own ability to heal and renew itself.

To find out if microneedling is right for your skin, book a consultation with the KINS team via the link in bio.

The kids are back at school, the days are getting shorter and summer is officially coming to an end.

After months of sun exposure, travel and changes to our usual routines, our skin can often be left feeling a little different — whether that’s more pigmentation, dehydration, congestion or a loss of that healthy glow.

Here’s how to reset your skin after summer and what we should be focusing on as we move into autumn.

Your skin after summer — what does it need?

After summer, the skin can often be left with a combination of congestion, dehydration and pigmentation from a build-up of sun exposure, SPF, sweat and heat.

How do we treat these concerns? The right approach depends on what your skin needs, but this can include ZO skincare, peels and microneedling to treat congestion and texture, and Profhilo and Polynucleotides to restore hydration and support skin quality. For pigmentation and uneven skin tone, ZO skincare like Vitamin C, Brightalive and exfoliation can help, while IPL and laser treatments can offer more targeted correction.

Our KINS Signature Protocols combine different treatments and technologies to address multiple concerns and changes in your skin after the summer months, in one treatment session.
