Throughout my teenage years I’d always had troublesome skin. I was never without spots, my pigmentation was worsening with every summer and my congested pores seemed impossibly stubborn.

Fast forward to my late 20s and my bad skin had left me feeling deflated, hopeless and frankly, quite poor. I’d spent hundreds on skincare products all claiming to be the cure-all for my skin issues but, like so many people find, nothing ever produced results that lived up to my expectations.

That was until skincare brand Klira came onto my radar through my work as a journalist.

The brainchild of one of the UK’s leading consultant dermatologists and star of TV’s The Bad Skin Clinic, Dr Emma Craythorne, Klira promises bespoke, tailored skincare – what Dr Emma calls the ‘ultimate night cream’.

Based on a subscription model, shoppers fill out an in-depth questionnaire designed to home in on their skin’s imbalances and needs, then Dr Emma’s team of experts analyse your results, along with recent photographs, to whip up a bespoke night cream hailed ‘The Special’ that’s delivered straight to your door every month.

This is no bog-standard night cream though. Each cartridge for the refillable Klira Special is packed with ingredients previously only accessible via an appointment and prescription from a dermatologist (which can, of course, be an expensive route to take).

What ingredients subscribers will find in their Special will depend on their ‘skin size’ – a much more refined and detailed version of the reductive skin type term. Skin sizes are numbered 1-12 and which one you are will determine your special’s ingredients. This could be a mixture of tretinoin, azelaic acid, ivermectin or hydroquinone to name just a few, all at strengths tailored to your skin.

If you’re serious about skincare and over spending money on things that don’t work for you, then try Klira – like so many have before. (Picture: Metro/Klira))

As a skin size 1, with skin prone to rosacea, acne and pigmentation, I was prescribed a beneficial dose of tretinoin, azelaic acid and aloe vera, in one pot to start my Klira journey with.

Over the course of a few months, I noticed such a huge transformation in the quality of my skin that many people do not believe the validity of my before/after images. But, trust me, these are unedited and 100% real.

My skin went from dull, spotty, red, and congested with plenty of melasma and pigmentation to clear, smooth and even in texture and tone.

Depending on the type of membership subscribers opt for, the price of Klira can range between £59-75 per month which obviously, is not cheap. But, think of it this way, you’ll be saving money on products that may not suit your skin in order to get something that will.

I’m now 2 years in with Klira and I can wholeheartedly vouch for such a skincare investment. Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself and see.
