How do you start the search for new skin care products? We start by looking at who founded and or currently directs the brand. As you know, we believe that brand credibility and expertise are two of the most important things to consider when looking to invest in skincare products or brands. Marketing-based skincare brands often make baseless claims about what their products can do for your skin, and that’s why we say NOOOOOOO to these types of brands. So, who are the brands founded upon credibility and expertise you ask? Well let us tell you about nine of the top dermatologist skin care lines in the UK.
111Skin
111Skin, as we’ve discussed previously, was founded by Dr Yannis Alexandrides and his wife Eva Alexandrides. 111Skin was a brand born from an aesthetics and cosmetics clinic in Harley Street London and has since become one of the most talked-about dermatologist skin care lines in the UK. Famous for their Face and Eye masks, 111Skin is loved by celebrities, influencers and consumers alike. We have a full post dedicated to 111Skin here, where we discuss their brand beginnings, achievements and the reason why we have chosen to promote them on our website. Dr Yannis, the man behind 111Skin, is an American and European board-certified plastic surgeon who specialises in “facial reconstruction” and “rejuvenation surgery”. The brand was born due to a lack of effective post-op healing skin care products available on the market; subsequently, Dr Yannis ended up working with scientists who were working on skin protection for astronauts and so the first 111Skin product was created – the Dramatic Healing Serum. The serum was given to all 111Skin clinic patients post-op, who instantly experienced a dramatic improvement in terms of healing, decreased swelling and bruising, and scar improvement.
What started as a post-procedure treatment, has transformed into a brand with 5 expert skin care ranges and over 50 tailored products, curated by Dr Yannis, a cosmetic surgeon with over 20 years of experience by himself, and brought to life by Eva, the visionary business woman who has propelled the brand to what it is today.

Dr Barbara Sturm
Dr Barbara Sturm is a Doctor of Aesthetic Medicine and Founder of Dr Barbara Sturm Molecular Cosmetics. Another fantastic doctor / dermatologist skin care line killing the game in 2022. Originally, Dr Barbara Sturm’s expertise lay in orthopaedic medicines, inflammation and inflammatory conditions, initially studying skiers and their injuries. Since then, Dr Sturm has been part of medical teams who developed ‘cutting-edge’ treatments for inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis. And of course, is now well-known for her contribution to skin care as an aesthetics doctor, and as such, is recognised for her anti-inflammatory philosophies and non-surgical anti-ageing treatments.
Dr Sturm refutes marketing-based skin care brands just like us here at Dr Skincare, and subsequently her skin care collection is known for it being of the highest quality and efficacy. Dr Barbara Sturm products are free from fragrance, colour, microplastics and aggressive preservatives, only using carefully researched and select ingredients within the formulas. If you are ready to invest in your skin care routine long-term, we believe this is the brand for you. And with so many A-List celebrities swearing by this brand, we had to pay homage to the legend herself! Read more about Dr Barbara Sturm here and see our favourite products below.
Goldfaden MD
Another dermatologist skin care line that we absolutely adore is Goldfaden MD. Goldfaden MD is a skin care brand, founded by Dr Gary Goldfaden, and sisters-in-law Lisa and Lauren Goldfaden. Dr Goldfaden has been a dermatologist for over 40 years, receiving a medical degree from the University of Miami’s Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine and is a lifetime member of The American Academy of Dermatology. As Dr Goldfaden brings the medical and dermatological experience, his daughter Lisa and daughter-in-law Lauren, bring the strategic business experience. As co-founders, Lisa is the VP of Marketing and Lauren is VP of Sales, making this the coolest family-run dermatologist skin care line on this list!
Dr Goldfaden wanted to create a brand of products which would replicate the clinical treatments he had been performing as a dermatologist for over 40 years. Additionally, Dr Goldfaden, Lisa and Lauren wanted to create a brand that catered to common skin care issues experienced by many consumers, whilst creating value for the modern consumer through their decisions to use only the cleanest and most natural ingredients that do not harm people or the planet. It’s no wonder that Goldfaden MD products are now sold in eight countries in over 1,000 beauty and luxury retailers. Dr Goldfaden, Lisa and Lauren have created a brand which rejects harsh, synthetic, inflammatory and irritative ingredients such as petrochemicals, parabens, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance, gluten, alcohol, and silicones. The brand is PETA-certified cruelty free and vegan, and we just can’t get enough. Read more about Goldfaden MD here and keep scrolling for our favourite products!
La Roche Posay
The La Roche Posay dermatologist skin care line is the UKs number 1 dermatologist recommended skin care brand and for that it must have a place in this blog! With brand heritage dating back to the 14th century, this brand was developed and perfected using the Thermal Spring Waters of La Roche Posay. Today, La Roche Posay the brand has made dermatologically-developed skincare accessible and affordable to all. Working with dermatologists from across the globe to create minimalist formulas with dermatologically-approved and tested ingredients.

Murad
And last, but by no means least in our top dermatologist skin care lines is Murad. Dr Howard Murad, the dermatologist behind Murad created THE FIRST clinical skin care brand, a pioneer and skin care veteran that you know Dr Skincare adores. This brand isn’t just another skincare brand, this brand was created by someone with the highest level of medical and dermatology experience. Dr Murad is recognised globally for his life-long commitment to human wellness backed by science and interestingly he is not only a skincare and wellness expert, but also an author and painter whose legacy is his passion towards people.
From his past, working with those injured in the Vietnam war, to more recently, working with the stars on their skin, we challenge you to find a more qualified person to oversee the ingredients and products which go on your face! Our point is, without Dr Murad’s distinguished education and tireless commitment to human wellbeing and skin health, there would be no brand and that’s why Dr Skincare absolutely adores and wholeheartedly approves Murad cosmetics and skincare products.
