FAQs About GetHarley Personalised Skincare Plans

No. Many patients with generally good skin choose personalised plans to maintain results, prevent issues, and support in-clinic treatments. Personalised skincare is about optimising skin health, not only fixing problems.

Yes. A personalised plan does not mean replacing everything you already use.

If a cleanser, moisturiser, or SPF suits your skin well, we often keep it in place and focus on introducing key active ingredients that address your specific concerns. This keeps routines realistic and cost-effective.

Recommendations are based on ingredients, skin behaviour, and clinical need – not trends.

We assess your barrier health, sensitivity, existing actives, and how your skin responds over time. From there, we prioritise products that make a meaningful difference and remove anything unnecessary or conflicting.

No. This is a common misconception.

The name reflects a medical, prescription-led standard of care, not exclusivity. At Cosmetica London, GetHarley helps us strip away noise, marketing hype, and guesswork – replacing them with clarity and intention.

Our recommendations are always guided by what your skin needs and what is sustainable for you.

Skin sensitivity is carefully considered in every plan.

Routines are introduced gradually, with a strong focus on barrier repair. If irritation occurs, products can be adjusted, reduced, or removed. Ongoing review ensures you’re supported – not left to push through discomfort.

This depends on the concern being addressed.

As a general guide:

• barrier repair and hydration may improve within weeks
• texture and clarity improve over 6–8 weeks
• pigmentation and collagen changes require longer-term consistency

Your clinician will explain what progress looks like for your skin during your consultation.

No – and that’s intentional.

Skin changes over time. Your plan is designed to evolve, with products escalated, reduced, or adjusted based on how your skin responds. This flexibility helps ensure long-term results without unnecessary complexity.

All plans are overseen by Dr Mica Engel, alongside Cosmetica London’s expert medical team. With over two decades of experience, Dr Mica’s approach is rooted in education, clinical understanding, and long-term skin health.

Clarity.

Instead of guessing or chasing trends, you receive a clear plan, fewer well-chosen products, and expert support – leading to healthier skin and better outcomes.
