You know that moment when you spot a new breakout and think, “Hang on… aren’t I too old for this?” You’re definitely not the only one.

Adult acne is super common and can be triggered by stress, hormones, or even skincare that’s a bit too harsh. Try a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser or La Roche-Posay Effaclar, and for stubborn spots, Benzac or Azclear can really help.

Come by the pharmacy if you’re not sure what’s right for your skin. We’ll help you find something that actually works for you.

You know how every second body wash says “antibacterial” and it instantly sounds like the safest option? Most people are surprised to hear that regular soap usually works just as well.

Using antibacterial washes every single day can dry out your skin and strip away natural oils. Gentle options like QV Gentle Wash or Dermaveen Soap-Free Wash clean effectively without irritation. Dettol is fine when you need something stronger, just not for constant daily
use.

If you are unsure which wash is right for your skin, pop in and have a chat with us.

We all have those days where no matter how much sleep we get, we still feel wiped out.
Sometimes, it could be more than just a busy week.

Low iron or vitamin B12 can leave you feeling constantly tired, dizzy, or lacking energy. Iron helps carry oxygen around your body, while B12 helps convert food into fuel.

Pop in and we’ll help you choose the right option, whether that’s Ferro-Grad C, Blackmores Iron, or a B12 supplement like Nature’s Own or Blackmores B12.

You know when a label says “all-natural” and it instantly feels like it must be safe? We get it, but that’s not always the case.

Natural products can still cause side effects or interact with medicines. St John’s Wort can reduce how some prescriptions work, Valerian can make you drowsy, and even Echinacea can trigger allergies for some people.

Natural can be great when used properly. If you’re unsure, come see us and we’ll help you choose safely.

❄️ Winter can leave your skin feeling dry, itchy, and tight. Here’s how to help:

✔ Use a rich, fragrance-free moisturiser daily
✔ Try QV Cream or Cetaphil Moisturising Cream for everyday dryness
✔ For very dry or eczema-prone skin, use E45 or Aveeno Dermexa
✔ Apply moisturiser straight after showering to lock in hydration
✔ Avoid long, hot showers which can strip your skin’s natural oils

Ask your pharmacist in-store for tailored dry skin care advice.
