Marrying the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine with scientifically backed formulas, Dermatology M is the beauty newcomer you need in your skincare regime.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been around for over 3,500 years and whilst we are always looking for new innovations in beauty, skincare aficionados are now taking heightened notice of the age-old wisdoms and holistic approach to beauty the ancient practice offers. Which is where new skincare brand Dermatology M comes in.
Mazin Al-Khafaji, founder of Dermatology M and world-renowned dermatologist, can be accredited as a pioneer of Chinese medicine in the western world. Having spent 30 years treating patients for some of the most common inflammatory skin conditions – including rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, and acne – with hand-blended ointments made in-clinic, he wanted to make these highly effective products accessible. And so, Dermatology M was born.
Each product harnesses the potency of natural active ingredients to soothe, calm, and treat skin. Formulas are on average 95% natural and cruelty-free. Free from synthetic colours, fragrances, and parabens, products are fitting for all skin types – especially those prone to flare-ups or inflammation.
Dermatology M asserts that there is a skincare regime suitable for everyone, offering 25 targeted formulas. Adopting a ‘field-to-patient’ approach, Dermatology M work directly with local farmers in China, extracting raw herbs in their purest concentration, before hand-blending them into small-batch formulas in their Sussex laboratory. The results of these efforts speak for themselves. Gentle-yet-potent tinctures, lotions, and creams which precisely treat skin with long-lasting results.
