This Skin + Me exclusive discount code will save you more than 80%
Finding the right skincare products can feel overwhelming. The shelves are packed with creams and serums that promise the world and products often have long ingredient lists that are difficult to decipher. For a personalised treatment plan, Skin + Me could be the answer.
Skin + Me is a prescriptive skincare service. You are assigned your own prescriber from its dermatology team who will combine one formula to target your goals – anti-ageing, acne, pigmentation or texture concerns. Each month you will review and track your progress, with the option to tweak your formula if needed. It's like having your own skincare expert at your fingertips. Even better, the service came very well reviewed by The Independent' s beauty writer (but more on that later).
You'd be forgiven for thinking that a skincare service like this comes with a hefty price tag. But The Independent 's expert deal-hunters secured a Skin + Me discount code. You'll get your first month for just £4.99, saving you more than 80 per cent on the usual subscription (£29.99). And it doesn't stop there – you'll also enjoy an ongoing 16 per cent discount on your monthly subscription cost.
Should you need any more persuasion, the service landed a spot in beauty writer Lucy Smith 's review of the best beauty subscription boxes, where she found it to be a 'great pick for those with acne-prone skin ' as it 'provides personalised prescription skincare with ingredients such as clindamycin (an antibiotic) to help with painful blemishes, skin bumpiness and the like'.
It 'can be tailored to every skin type and comes delivered in a nifty twist-up vial that perfectly doses your daily application, taking the guesswork/risk out of stronger ingredients such as tretinoin (the highest strength of topical vitamin A)', she added. And with our exclusive code 'INDY25', you can try it for yourself for just £4.99 and unsubscribe at any time if it's not for you.
How does Skin & Me work?
The online consultation process involves you inputting personal details, skin goals, concerns and lifestyle questions (from tanning bed use to diet and sleep).
You will also asked about your SPF habits and to upload make-up-free photos of yourself. 'The consultation took just five minutes and felt easy, concise and informal,' our tester said.
As well as prescribing a personalised daily dose, Skin + Me also suggests additional product recommendations. 'These were a La Roche-Posay cleanser and moisturiser, and Heliocare SPF. This additional tailored advice offered extra dermatologist insight into our skincare routine that we wouldn't have had without the consultation,' our tester said.
Just 24 hours after consultation, they received an email with their new prescription and an explanation as to why these ingredients had been included. The product arrived two days later in vibrant yellow packaging.
'Although the team strongly advised us that major results will take around eight weeks, we actually saw noticeable improvements after only seven days,' our tester said. Their skin looked brighter and was so much smoother that it almost looked shiny without make-up. 'In fact, we'd go so far as to say, our complexion is currently the most radiant it has ever looked.'

Covid booster warning as Covid NB.1.8.1 cases on the rise
The message comes after health experts also warned of a new COVID-19 variant, with cases of the strain are on the rise around the world. Covid NB.1.8.1 is a variation of the XDV.1.5.1 strain and was first detected back in January 2025. Ifti Khan, superintendent pharmacist at Well Pharmacy, urged those eligible to book as soon as possible and get the booster while it is still available. He said: 'Covid will most likely rise coming into the end of spring and into summer as people mix with friends and family more often. 'We know from previous boosters that they are effective in making sure that patients' symptoms are not as severe as they might have been without so I would urge patients to pop into their local Well Pharmacy store and get their jab. 'Patients have just over two weeks as the spring booster programme ends on June 17 so it would be my hope that those who can get a jab, opt to do so before enjoying socialising during summer.' Mr Khan warned that at this time of year, some people may believe they have hay fever as early symptoms of Covid include a runny or blocked nose or a sore throat. Covid tests can be obtained at any Well Pharmacy. The WHO has placed the Covid NB.1.8.1 "under monitoring" due to the rise in cases worldwide. It is one of six COVID-19 variants currently being monitored. The new 'Strategic and operational plan for coronavirus disease threat management: at a glance' sets out the global framework for supporting Member States in the sustained, integrated, evidence-based management of coronavirus disease threats, including #COVID19, MERS, and… However, the WHO stated that the risk posed by the new variant was "low," and that approved COVID-19 vaccines are expected to be effective against it. The world health experts, in a recent risk evaluation, said: "Despite a concurrent increase in cases and hospitalisations in some countries where NB.1.8.1 is widespread, current data do not indicate that this variant leads to more severe illness than other variants in circulation. The WHO added: "The available evidence on NB.1.8.1 does not suggest additional public health risks relative to the other currently circulating Omicron descendent lineages." COVID NB.1.8.1 has already been detected in 22 countries. These include the likes of Australia, China, Hong Kong, Thailand and the US, according to The Independent. The coming COVID-19 Winter Surge in Australia will show the world where we are actually headed is happening in South-Eats Asia and East Asia are just the 'preludes'...watch how NB.1.8.1 spawns are evolving including PQ.1, PQ.2 and even sub-lineages like PE.1. Cases of the NB.1.8.1 variant have also been confirmed in Northern Ireland, Wales, and "popular British tourist hotspots", the news outlet added.

Shoppers 'come back to' face wash with loads of five-star reviews
Fresh Soy Face Cleanser has been a firm favourite since it was first launched in 1990 and it's been approved by people with sensitive or irritated skin The skincare market is awash with products flaunting cutting-edge technologies and ingredients, all designed to keep beauty enthusiasts looking their best while addressing skin issues. However, there are always those timeless staples that everyone adores, and for me, it's the Fresh Soy Face Cleanser - a gentle yet hard-working face wash. First introduced in 1990, this cleanser combines soy proteins, cucumber extract, and rosewater in its formula, creating a hydrating trio that ensures a balanced and softened complexion. The jumbo 400ml size is on offer at Sephora for £62 instead of £66, where it has thousands of five-star reviews. Elsewhere on LookFantastic, shoppers can get a 50ml version for £15 or 150ml tube for £34. This face wash does more than just boost hydration; it also doubles as a makeup remover, deeply cleansing pores without stripping the skin. The amino acid-rich soy protein helps retain skin elasticity for a smooth and supple feel, while also maintaining the skin's pH value and strengthening the moisture barrier. For those with sensitive skin, shoppers have recommended the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser Sensitive Skin, priced at £23.50. This milky cleanser is enriched with Glycerine and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, instantly soothing and cleansing irritated skin, reported Birmingham Live. Alternatively, TikTok-viral Korean beauty brand Dr Althea's Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm has a sorbet-like texture that melts makeup and deep cleanses, which is gentle on sensitive skin thanks to the 14 essential ingredients in the formula. It's currently on 13% off on Amazon and reduced to £19.99. Fresh Soy Face Cleanser 50ml £66 £15 LookFantastic Buy Now on LookFantastic Product Description The Soy Face Cleanser is a gentle, barely foaming facial wash with a unique texture that I liken to room-temperature egg yolk, infused with a waft of crisp cucumber and fresh aloe vera. Simply dampen your skin and massage over your face and eyes to remove dirt and makeup before rinsing with water – it's perfect for daily use both morning and night. Post-rinse, my skin was devoid of any feeling of tightness, and the cleanser also helped soothe my occasional acne, aiding in a speedier recovery process. More than 2,600 customers have endorsed the Fresh cleanser with stellar five-star testimonials. One customer enthused: "It thoroughly takes off any excess dirt and makeup from my skin after my oil cleanse and I've noticed that I haven't been breaking out in spots where I normally struggle with acne due to residual makeup." Another commented: "I had my boyfriend try it after he got sunburned to wash his face, and it was extremely gentle for him as well, while still cleaning his skin." However, a group of shoppers conceded that they were "not a big fan of the scent". With one remarking: "It smells like cucumbers but it's a bit too strong for my nose, which is particularly sensitive to any fragrances." Another customer expressed her preference for a more frothy consistency, explaining: "I feel like I had to use more product than normal to wash my face because it didn't lather. It did leave my skin feeling soft and clean." One customer has been a repeat customer for years: "I have used this product on and off since I was 15 years old. Over 10 years later, I still come back to it. It is super gentle, never broken me out and removed makeup well. Don't use if you have a soy allergy, other than that, it is a wonderful product." "One small dab will clean my whole face. I love that it's not a foaming face wash and that it is extremely gentle," another satisfied customer shared. "Many cleansers that I've used have required two 'washings' in order to get all of my makeup off - Fresh's Soy Face Cleanser does not."
