How to Use

Use in the evening. First cleanse then apply a small amount of Acne Night Serum to a dry face and neck. For those who have not used this product before, it should be phased in gradually. Apply a small amount on alternate nights for the first week and then increase the amount and apply every night when tolerated. Follow with a simple moisturiser or lotion only if your skin needs it.

How to Use

Active Ingredients

Tretinoin: Tretinoin is derived from vitamin A and is the prescription grade retinoid. Tretinoin helps to reduce the frequency and severity of acne breakouts, helping clear up existing acne, reduce the appearance of dark spots and fine lines.

Clindamycin: Topical Clindamycin is an antibiotic that can be used to treat inflammatory acne. It works by targeting the bacteria P. acnes that is involved in acne. Clindamycin also has anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce any redness or swelling.

Azelaic Acid: Azelaic acid has anti-inflammatory properties to help with breakouts. Azelaic acid inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase so has an anti-pigment effect, helping to improve the unevenness in colour that can occur in inflamed skin.

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 Day 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. Dr Ophelia Acne Night Serum, on the other hand, contains tretinoin, clindamycin and azelaic acid. 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. Due to its strong effect, to begin with, you should also apply the ‘night’ formula just 1-2 nights a week – slowly increasing the frequency of its application as it’s tolerated.

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. But our 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.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping within mainland UK and Northern Ireland is free. Shipping to Europe costs £8 and to the rest of the world costs £15.

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

We aim to dispatch hair vitamins the next working day. Prescription products are made bespoke to order in our London Laboratory, so they are typically dispatched within 7 to 10 working days. UK orders are all sent using Royal Mail Tracked 24.

Do you ship overseas?

Yes, we ship to most of Europe, as well as USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. If shipping to your country isn’t available at checkout, email us at pa@drophelia.com and we will arrange shipping for you.
