One skin concern + One product we’d reach for
IF WE COULD ONLY CHOOSE ONE...
We're usually the first to tell you there's more than one way to address a skin concern. After all, everyone's skin is different, and the most effective routines often involve a combination of complementary ingredients.
But sometimes, you just want to know where to start.
So, we thought we'd make things a little simpler. We've narrowed down five common skin concerns and matched to the one La Clinica product we'd reach for first.
FIVE SKIN CONCERNS, FIVE PRODUCT PICKS
-
Breakouts & congestion
-
Dryness & dehydration
-
Dullness & fine lines
-
Loss of firmness & radiance
-
Pigmentation & uneven skin tone
Here's what we'd choose, and more importantly, why.
01 / "I'm still breaking out."
OUR PICK: Clear Skin Multi Fruit Acid Serum
When breakouts keep returning, the temptation can be to reach for increasingly harsh treatments. But effective breakout care isn't simply about stripping away oil. It's about addressing congestion and supporting a clearer, more balanced-looking complexion.
Why we'd choose it
Our Clear Skin Multi Fruit Acid Serum combines Salicylic Acid with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) to exfoliate the skin and help prevent the build-up of dead surface cells.
Salicylic Acid is particularly useful for blemish-prone skin because it's oil-soluble, allowing it to work within pores where excess sebum and congestion can accumulate. AHAs complement this action by exfoliating the skin's surface, helping improve roughness, dullness and uneven texture.
Best for: Breakout-prone skin, congestion, excess oil and uneven texture.
02 / "My skin always feels dry."
OUR PICK: Deep Hydration Moisture Cream
Your skin barrier plays an essential role in retaining moisture and protecting against external irritants. When it's not functioning at its best, moisture can escape more readily, leaving skin feeling persistently dry, even when you're using a moisturiser.
Why we'd choose it
Our bestselling Deep Hydration Moisture Cream goes beyond simply making skin feel moisturised.
Formulated with five types of Ceramides, Cholesterol and Niacinamide, this rich, buttery cream helps replenish moisture and support and strengthen the skin's natural protective barrier.
Ceramides and Cholesterol are important components of the skin's lipid barrier, helping maintain its integrity and reduce moisture loss. Oat Beta Glucan provides additional soothing and hydrating support.
It's also a particularly useful companion to routines containing stronger actives, such as Retinol and exfoliating acids, when maintaining skin comfort and barrier function becomes especially important.
Best for: Dry, moisture-depleted skin, barrier support and skin needing richer, longer-lasting nourishment.

03 / "My skin looks dull and I'm noticing fine lines."
OUR PICK: Retinol in Luxurious Plant Oils
Fine lines and a loss of radiance are among the most common changes we notice as our skin matures.
As natural cell turnover slows with age, dead surface cells can accumulate, contributing to a duller-looking complexion and uneven texture. Changes in collagen production can also make fine lines more noticeable over time.
Why we'd choose it
Retinol remains one of skincare's most extensively researched ingredients for improving the visible signs of skin ageing.
A derivative of Vitamin A, Retinol helps encourage skin cell turnover and supports collagen production, improving the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture and dullness with consistent use.
Our Retinol in Luxurious Plant Oils combines pure Retinol with a nourishing blend of plant oils, including Squalane, Jojoba and Grapeseed Oil.
The oil base provides additional nourishment, making this a considered option for those wanting to introduce a proven anti-ageing active into their evening routine.
Available in different strengths, the range allows you to select a concentration suited to your skin's experience with Retinol.
Best for: Fine lines, dullness, uneven texture and visible signs of skin ageing.

04 / "My skin isn't as firm or radiant as it used to be."
OUR PICK: Age Reversal Repair Facial Peptide Serum
As skin matures, changes in collagen, elastin and other structural components can affect its firmness, elasticity and overall appearance.
Skin may begin to look less plump, feel less resilient or simply lack some of its former radiance.
While these changes are a natural part of ageing, the right ingredients can help improve how skin looks and feels.
Why we'd choose it
Our Age Reversal Repair Facial Peptide Serum brings together a considered combination of Peptides, Bakuchiol, Vitamin C and marine actives to support firmer, smoother and more radiant-looking skin.
Peptides are valued in anti-ageing skincare for their ability to support the appearance of skin firmness and elasticity, while Bakuchiol offers complementary benefits for the visible signs of ageing.
Alongside antioxidant and skin-conditioning ingredients, the formulation takes a multifaceted approach to improving skin texture, radiance and the appearance of fine lines.
It's a particularly good choice for those wanting a sophisticated anti-ageing serum.
Best for: Loss of firmness, reduced radiance, fine lines and mature-looking skin.

05 / "My pigmentation just won't budge."
OUR PICK: Brightening Serum Level 2
Pigmentation can be one of the more persistent skin concerns to address.
Whether you're dealing with sun spots, post-breakout marks or uneven skin tone, discolouration can be influenced by several factors, including UV exposure, hormones and inflammation.
And because pigmentation develops through a complex series of biological processes, relying on a single brightening ingredient isn't always the most effective approach.
Why we'd choose it
Our Brightening Serum Level 2 takes a multi-pathway approach to improving the appearance of pigmentation and uneven skin tone.
At the centre of the formula are Tranexamic Acid and Alpha-Arbutin, two recognised brightening ingredients that help address the appearance of excess pigmentation.
They're supported by complementary ingredients, including Vitamin C, Niacinamide, N-Acetyl Glucosamine, Peptides and Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs), which work together to support a brighter, smoother and more even-looking complexion.
Rather than relying on one ingredient to do all the work, the formula brings together several complementary mechanisms to address stubborn discolouration.
As with any brightening routine, consistency and daily sun protection are essential. Visible improvements in pigmentation take time, particularly when deeper or recurring discolouration is involved.
Best for: Stubborn pigmentation, dark spots, post-breakout marks and uneven skin tone.

OF COURSE, THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO CARE FOR YOUR SKIN.
And there's rarely one product that can address every concern.
The most effective skincare routines consider your skin type, individual concerns, ingredient tolerance and the products you're already using.
But that doesn't mean your routine needs to be complicated.
Sometimes, knowing which ingredient or formulation to reach for first is the most useful place to begin.
