Dear All,



I hope you are all safely enjoying the summer sunshine!

We are delighted that we are now able to offer the Stratum C range of skincare products.
This is the UK's first skincare range specifically designed for menopausal skin.
Take advantage of the introductory prices!
Baby Quasar have recently launched a new anti-ageing tool, Pure Rayz, which we are now stocking.


Our big news this month is….

Silderm have launched Dual Action Scar Gel – a truly innovative treatment that is clinically proven to flatten scars, reduce the redness and minimise the pain and itching that is normally associated with scar tissue.

Dual Action Scar Gel contains the same surgically approved silicone ingredients as Scar Gel and Scar Spray, but has the added benefit of a roller ball to apply the treatment. Plastic Surgeons and Dermatologists support the use of silicone in the management of scars, and the massaging action of the roller ball during application enhances the action of the silicone ingredients.



Dual Action Scar Gel has been shown to have a good or very good effect in about 80% of patients with scars that result from trauma injury, burns or surgery. The best results are achieved when used immediately the wound has healed, but it has also been shown to improve older scars, even up to 20 years old if they are still red and raised. If scars are white and indented, Scar Gel may have little effect.Dual Action Scar Gel will take about three months to work on the majority of scars, but some results should be seen after about two weeks. The scar will flatten and the redness start to get lighter.

NEW – Lamelat™ skin lightening cream 50ml by Pharmann.

Lamelat™ cream is an innovative and unique whitening product. It reduces the appearance of pigmented spots, which significantly lightens and evens skin tone. It prevents the appearance of new changes to skin complexion. It is an effective combination of a TGF-β agonist peptide encapsulated in a liposome and unique regulatory action on the MITF (microphtalmia–associated transcriptional factor) pathway to decrease constitutive and facultative pigmentation.
It shows outstanding clinical results and an excellent safety profile.
Lamelat ™ cream induces significant skin lightening effects and makes the skin tone more uniform and brighter after only 4 weeks.



Baby Quasar - an industry leader of skincare devices.

Manufacturer of the most powerful line of light therapy tools.



Baby Quasar recently launched a new anti-ageing tool, Pure Rayz.
Pure and simple, Pure Rayz is in a league of its own. It is the most powerful FDA-cleared light therapy tool available to consumers for the treatment of wrinkles. It surpasses the competition in power output by four times - the more power emitted, the better your results. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin - the key building blocks of healthy skin - begins to slow. Rebuild collagen and improve elastin by penetrating the skin at different depths with four distinct wavelengths of light: infrared, amber, amber-red, and super-red. Red light therapy aids in the reduction of wrinkles by treating from the inside out.



Pure Rayz has a specific initial treatment time and after eight weeks, only minimal touch-ups are needed to sustain the results. Three minutes per area is all it takes to start achieving noticeable results.
Designed to treat the entire face, the tool emits high quality LEDs that provides a focused beam to ensure maximum penetration of light per treatment. Pure Rayz LEDs emit only natural wavelengths of light; no harmful rays. It is sized for portability and includes a dual-voltage power source for international usage.

We are offering £5 off both the Pure Rayz and Clear Rayz devices this month.



When a woman goes through menopause, the skin is less able to produce collagen and remain hydrated, leading to pigmentation problems such as age or liver spots, or other problems such as adult acne. For many women, during menopause, the skin can be seen to age at a much accelerated pace.

Stratum C is the new range brought to you by Forme Labs Ltd. Based on research by Professor Ian Hamley at Reading University, Stratum C products contain a combination of 6 different peptides that work together to generate natural collagen production in your body, which in turn reduces wrinkles and makes your skin look and feel younger. The range is especially effective during menopause as this is the time when your body stops producing its own collagen and needs a helping hand. It is integral to take extra care of your skin during the 5 year period from the start of menopause, as this period of accelerated aging can cause deep wrinkle formation.

In addition to these unique peptides, Stratum C products contain high quality Hyaluronic Acid, Squalane and Seaweed Extracts to intensely hydrate the skin. This is combined with natural sources of Vitamin A and E derived from Apricot Kernel and Jojoba Oils to replenish the vitamins lost through menopause.



My initial observation is that the packaging appears very professional looking with a scientific feel. There are no real strong smells to the products, so I would imagine they are very good for sensitive skin types. What I like about the products is that they are very simple to use.

The key ingredient in these products is a chain of amino acids called Matrixyl, said to almost double the production of collagen in the skin. The cream is specifically targeted at menopausal women for whom collagen production drops off by up to a third.



Most effective when used together, the Stratum C Menopause Repair Serum and Stratum C Menopause Protect Cream - the flag ship products - provide long-term protection.


Stratum C Menopause Repair Serum

A sumptuous light, clear, odourless gel that absorbs quickly into the skin. It delivers advanced nutrients and anti-ageing ingredients in higher concentrations to the areas of the face where you need them most.
Especially effective for areas around the eye (crow's feet), forehead (furrows) and glabellar lines (above the nose). This intensive treatment has been shown to reduce deep wrinkles by 45% in as little as 28 days use.
Intense Seaweed based clear gel with high levels of Hyaluron and wrinkle reducing peptides for intense treatment around the eyes, forehead and problem areas.


Stratum C Menopause Protect Cream

Luxuriant Apricot and Jojoba based moisturiser with Stratum C collagen boosting peptides, rich nutrients to protect the skin and exclusive wrinkle reducing technology.
Stratum C Menopause Protect Cream was developed following research at a leading UK University. The discovery showed that a special combination of peptides caused the body’s cells to nearly double their own rate of collagen production.


The Stratum C skincare line includes:
Menopause Gentle Cleanser to remove dirt and skin impurities and improve skin’s tone and elasticity,
Menopause Pigment Correction Gel to correct and protect against age or liver spot creation (hyperpigmentation) and Menopause Spot Relief to reduce inflammation and help to reduce targeted redness and swelling during hormone related breakouts.
