  • In Episode 16 of the Dermastore® Podcast we discuss one of our all-time favourite ingredients: Vitamin A.

    Plenty has been said, written, and, most importantly, researched on the subject of retinol on the skin, and there's a good reason for it. Retinol is likely the most important skincare ingredient of the past 50 years. This is simply because it can do so much for our skin in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, suppressing hyperpigmentation, and even prohibiting the formation of acne (and more!)

    Can you tell that we love talking about retinol? Well, onwards!

  • In Episode 13, Lara and Greg sit down with Dr Bradley Wagemaker from Lamelle Research Laboratories to discuss all things innovation, including their brand-new Refirm Elixir Cream.

    Dr Bradley is a Co-Founder and the Medical Director of Lamelle, and he is the primary scientific decision-maker behind all of Lamelle's widely-loved products.

    The star anti-ageing ingredient, Stem Cell Conditioning Media, has found its way into Lamelle's latest launch and has been even further developed since launching into Refirm Serum in 2021. It includes higher concentrations of Exosomes - cellular messengers that have a mountain of benefits (and strong evidence) for supporting the needs of visibly ageing skin.

  • In episode 10 of the Dermastore® Podcast Lara and Greg have an informal chat about an approach to skincare routines that is less rigorous and more responsive.

    We recently coined the term, 'Skin-Sponding' and it's really about knowing your skin well enough that you can be responsive to its ever-changing needs.

    Equipping our bathrooms with a ready-to-respond kit beyond our core skincare staples, amazingly, has another upside: the skin likes to be surprised! Based on our experience, we believe a few out-of-routine ingredients and formulations can help take your skin to new heights.

    Tune in to listen to their lighthearted (but hopefully interesting) skin conversion..
