Discover SKN-RG

Achieve long-lasting results with specific treatments and performant skincare.

SKN-RG – a contraction of SKiN eneRGy - is a British brand of vegan, certified organic & advanced botanical skincare products - lovingly developed and produced by husband-and-wife team of scientists Deborah & Robert Scott – based in an area of outstanding natural beauty, on the East coast of Essex.

SKN-RG adheres to the highest ethical values and everything - from the selection/sourcing of plants and materials through to the end-product - is done in complete harmony with nature and total respect of the environment.

At SKN-RG, there is no compromise on quality – only the best plant ingredients are used - specifically selected for their ability to energise, nourish, repair and protect the skin.

Featuring cutting-edge vegetal (dairy-free) pre-&-probiotics complexes to promote tissue renewal and reduce inflammation as well as stem cells, hyaluronic acid, plant-based Retinol and a new generation of glycolic exfoliation – all SKN-RG products are suitable for the most sensitive skin.

To extract and further enhance the intrinsic vibrational energy naturally present in the chosen plant molecules, SKN-RG uses a unique extraction process called SKN-RG Quanta Technology – resulting in products capable of delivering long-lasting solutions at cellular level.

Over the years, SKN-RG evolved - constantly pushing science boundaries - and developed several lines of products - all containing cutting-edge, energy-enhanced, fantastic plant molecules - including:

• SKN-RG Organics – combining gentle, yet powerful botanical extracts to:

o cocoon, repair, nourish and firm up the skin
o reduce inflammation and calm redness
o slow-down the signs of ageing and dispel stress

• SKN-RG Advanced – introducing modern vegetal clinical actives

o including botanical enzymes, hyaluronic acid, peptides and AHAs
o vitamins and mineral complexes
o to minimise pores, reduce breakouts and acne
o to address specific concerns like hyper-pigmentation and premature ageing

• SKN-RG Evolution – with key actives from Diamond Blue Plankton & other amazing plants to:

o create a shield against blue light and UV rays
o prevent photo-ageing and address pigmentation concerns
o protect, repair and stimulate skin tissues
o balance oil production in the skin
o purify the skin and refine pores
o plump, lift and promote skin luminosity

SKN-RG also offers Men’s - a specific line of products for men (unsurprisingly!) – and Altitude – a range of body products – which I intend to introduce at a later stage.
SKN-RG Facials

Regular facial treatments and daily care are crucial to obtain visible and healthy results on your skin – it’s like exercise, once in a while is not enough!
Sustained improvement is achieved with:

For several years, now, I have been using SKN-RG products for my facials and I can truly say that I am delighted with the results.

My opinion has been confirmed beyond doubt by personal experience – having had to use all the products from my trolleys during the various lock-downs, my skin felt and looked fantastic!

Products from the various SKN-RG ranges can be used together for a solution perfectly tailored to your skin’s particular needs.

All SKN-RG facials feature an extensive massage to the face, neck, décolleté and the top of the shoulders – designed to detoxify, nourish and improve the appearance and function of the skin, while leaving you refreshed and chilled out.

SKN-RG Evolution - Rehabilitation Beauty Spa Facial Treatment          | 90 min | £65

This indulgent treatment uses products from the Evolution range, based on modern clinical actives, derived from amazingly adaptive plants, such as the Blue Diamond Plankton and the Rose of Jericho (Resurrection Plant) to name just two, who have adapted to protect themselves from the elements by producing particular chemical compounds – the molecules extracted from these fabulous plants have adaptogen properties enabling them to reach deep into the skin - where needed - to repair, nourish and stimulate tissues at cellular level for intense skin rejuvenation.

The extensive massage concludes with the smoothing of semi-precious selenite wands across the skin to further enhance the re-balancing and revitalisation of your skin while leaving you calm and relaxed.

It is important to note that SKN-RG only uses the best plant ingredients in complete harmony with nature and total respect of the environment.

Recommended for premature ageing, mature skin, fine lines, wrinkles, open pores, acne & breakout skin.

SKN-RG Evolution – Sparkle Peel & Reveal Expert Spa Facial    | 90 min | £70

The latest in the SKN-RG Facials, this treatment features an additional step by introducing a new generation of glycolic exfoliation to resurface the skin and address many concerns – such as acne, photo-damage, hyper-pigmentation, melasma, fine lines and wrinkles.

SKN-RG’s new Zen Glycolic Peel is formulated as an 11% strength solution – thus making it very mild and safe to use on the most sensitive skin. It also includes a cutting-edge molecule called Zen Active Plankton (derived from the Blue Diamond Plankton) that protects and restores the skin’s equilibrium.

When applied to the skin, a mild tingling sensation can be felt – the bonds attaching dead cells to the surface of the skin are dissolved, revealing fresh skin underneath while stimulating the production of new cells in the process – results are visible from the first application with no down-time. 

With SKN-RG’s new Zen Glycolic Peel, long-lasting results are achieved gently and progressively – therefore regular treatments are recommended as well as using the products at home in between salon visits.

Throughout the facial, products from the Evolution range are carefully selected to suit your skin’s particular needs while specific massage techniques - finishing with semi-precious selenite wands with calming and energising properties – will leave you fully relaxed with luminous and revitalised skin.

A note about glycolic acid – it’s not as scary as it may sound!

Glycolic acid belongs to the family of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) – a group of exfoliants that are water soluble and capable of dissolving the bonds attaching dead skin cells to the surface of the skin – this reveals fresh new skin underneath and boosts the renewal of skin cells as well as improving the penetration of skincare ingredients applied to the skin, allowing them to get absorbed deeper - at cellular level - to correct, nourish and revitalise the skin by increasing cell turnover.

Glycolic acid has a smaller molecular size than other AHAs – allowing it to penetrate deeper into the skin for a slower, more sustained action without any drying effect. This is important for every skin type but is a particular advantage for acne and breakout prone skins which can easily get exacerbated by inadequate products (usually sold for oily skin) that often over-dry the skin resulting in a counter-productive effect.

Glycolic acid has antibacterial properties which keep inflammation at bay. Generally presented in a low percentage solution – for example, SKN-RG’s Zen Glycolic Peel is an 11% solution – glycolic acid is quite mild – however, it still needs to be introduced gradually and gently to the skin in order to achieve long-lasting results in a safely manner.

And finally, a note about Blue Diamond Plankton &e     the Rose of Jericho:

Two of the numerous fabulous plants found in SKN-RG products, these have been selected for their extraordinary ability to adapt and protect themselves against environmental aggressions. 

The Blue Diamond Plankton has developed a diamond-shaped shield to defend itself against the harmful effects of blue UV light – hence its name – while the Rose of Jericho, a plant of the desert also called the Resurrection Plant, comes back to life when it rains, sometimes after over a hundred years.

Both plants have managed to adapt to very harsh conditions by producing specific chemical compounds that have adaptogen properties – which means that these molecules are capable of reaching, repairing and correcting skin tissues as and where needed.
