This is one situation where “one size fits all” definitely does not apply. What suits your friend, mother, co-worker, sibling or neighbour will most likely be different for you.
It’s not about the brand.
It’s about the ingredients, the skin type, skin condition, surrounding humidity/weather, your time for routines and what you can afford to spend. Knowing how to use the products is just as important.
Secret Skin Studio stocks a range of cleansers and exfoliants to accommodate those variables. If the products we routinely stock aren’t the right ones for you, we will source them. Skin consultations even include recommendations on how to best use your current products. All Natural Look and AWE Cosmeceuticals products are sulphate and paraben free, Australian made, free from animal cruelty and have environmental sustainable packaging practices. Skin O2 is made by a Gold Coast cosmetic doctor and is one of the most effective medical grade cosmeceuticals and make-up ranges in Australia.

This is a refreshing, light gel. Formulated to leave the skin feeling fresh, clarified and refined. Fantastic as an everyday cleanser for teenagers, men or a thickened oily/acne skin.
