Active Ingredients

Niacinamide: Niacinamide can help manage skin inflammation and regulate skin tone. It really helps soothe the inflammation that can occur in acne prone skin, and targets the blemishes that can be caused by the inflammation.

Salicylic Acid: Salicylic acid can help remove the top layer of dead skin cells and help with skin congestion. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and can help with redness and inflammation that can occur with congested and break-out prone skin.

Zinc Sulphate: Zinc sulphate also helps with congestion and inflammation of the skin. It tends to be well tolerated, and recent studies have shown that using zinc sulphate in a topical treatment for acne can be as effective as taking oral antibiotics.

How it works

Prescription-based Skin Serums tailored to you

Everyone’s skin is unique. Which is why our Skin Serums are formulated to suit your specific needs. After filling out a skin questionnaire, Dr Ophelia will prescribe your optimum serum. Based on this prescription, varying concentrations of each ingredient will be used to create the ideal day and night blend – for you, personally. And these blends will then be made, bespoke to order, at our laboratory.

Step 1

Select and purchase your prescription products on the Dr. Ophelia website. If you need help selecting the right product for you contact pa@drophelia.com

Step 2

Complete the patient questionnaire we send you with your order confirmation so that we can customise the serum to meet your needs.

Step 3

Dr Ophelia will prescribe your optimum serum based on your skin questionnaire.

Step 4

Your bespoke formulation will be made in our London laboratory and despatched to you in 7-10 working days.

"I got myself into a mess with my products and can't believe how much money I spent on products and facials that didn’t work. My friend recommended Dr. Ophelia in Harley Street and she made me rationalise my skincare. I started using a simple cleanser, and Dr. Ophelia formulated a day and night serum for my acne. My skin cleared in weeks, and I have had so many people commenting on my skin."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to use both acne serums?

In most cases, yes – we would recommend using both of our acne serums. These two products are designed to complement each other.

Dr Ophelia Acne Serum contains a blend of three active ingredients – niacinamide, salicylic acid and zinc sulphate. Which, together, help to reduce inflammation and blemishes and regulate skin tone. Active ingredients that have been shown to clear skin and help to prevent future acne breakouts.

For best results, we typically recommend applying 1-2 pumps of our day formula every morning, followed by a very small amount (no more than one pump) of the night formula before bed.

How do our acne serums work?

Formulated in a serum base, both our day and night serums are lightweight – so they won’t clog your pores. And unlike thicker formulas (e.g. creams and moisturisers) which often sit on the surface, they rapidly absorb into the skin and deeply penetrate the affected cells. Here, the active ingredients can quickly get to work.

These ingredients are scientifically backed and proven to help with congested and acne-prone skin. Together, they offer an effective all-around treatment for healthier-looking skin – helping to clear existing breakouts and reduce inflammation, whilst stopping further breakouts in their tracks.

Are Dr Ophelia Acne Serums suitable for sensitive skin?

Absolutely. Most acne serums available on the high street contain compounds that are harsh and damaging to the skin, particularly for those suffering from acne. The addition of these ingredients makes them feel luxurious and enables the products to be preserved so that they can stay on the shelves, often for years at a time. But our freshly made formula is different. Free from fragrance and parabens, it is completely hypoallergenic – and successfully reduces inflammation and breakouts, whilst being kind and gentle to the skin. As such, it is perfectly suitable for patients with sensitive skin and can safely become a part of your daily skincare routine. For those with specific known skin allergies we can make the serums free from virtually any specific ingredient due to the bespoke nature of these serums.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping within mainland UK and Northern Ireland is free.

How long will it take for me to receive my order?
