Dr Vicky Dondos, 33, is a trained hospital doctor who now works as a cosmetic aesthetic doctor at Medicetics clinic in London.

WHAT WORKS

Chemical peels and mesotherapy: “I’m a big fan of mesotherapy [a series of tiny injections into the skin, containing a cocktail of vitamins, minerals and amino acids], to give my skin a good texture and radiance.”

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): “This laser treatment helps smooth pigmentation, sunspots and blemishes on my cheeks. I’ve only had two sessions and I don’t need to wear foundation anymore”

The Epionce Range: “I’m always testing new products and I adore this range- especially the peel, which contains malic acid derived from apples. I have two peels which are done a week apart. I’m red for an hour afterwards, but then patches of dryness disappear, and my skin looks well-nourished, firmer and glowing. The active shield sunscreen sits really well on my skin, is transparent non-greasy and comes in SPF30. I also use the foaming cleanser and the vitamin c serum.” [Buy in our clinic]

WHAT DOESN’T

Presuming expensive is always better: “I do like some cheap basic products, such as the cleanser Cetaphil, which is great and very gentle.” [Buy in our clinic]
