We’ve put together a list of brands and product lines featuring customised skincare so you can build a routine according to your personal skin type and concerns.
Skincare is a very personal subject. Even for individuals with the same skin type, what works for one may not work for another. Factor in the external and internal influences on the skin such as climate, pollution, stress, diet and hormonal changes and it begins to make sense why there’s a perpetual stream of brands and products being released every month to address the many varying skin-specific concerns.
Rather than playing the guinea pig and trying different products until you find the right one for you, however, why not find products tailor-made for your own skin?
We’ve put together a list of brands and product lines featuring customised skincare so you can build a routine according to your personal skin type and concerns.
Skin Inc My Daily Dose Serum
Made-to-measure skincare has always been at the core of Skin Inc, with its My Daily Dose® Serum Cocktail being a cult-favourite best-seller. Based on an algorithm that relies on a database of over 1 million skin profiles, each custom bottle of serum is blended with a patented Japanese Seaweed Encapsulation Technology that protects the active ingredients from exposure to light and oxidation. This allows for effective delivery of the pure ingredients into the skin, with an added humectant-rich glycerin base to ensure lasting hydration.
To customise your Skin Inc cocktail, take a simple 3-minute quiz on the brand’s website to identify the three serums best suited for your skin. For more information, click here.

Formulated with the brand’s proprietary microbiome botanical complex, E-COLOGY PLUS+, the CustoMask features a blend of prebiotic ingredients that help maintain a healthy ecosystem for the microorganisms living within the skin.
