Online dermatology service Dermatica offers free consultations and treatments for NHS staff and anyone with a skin concern

Dermatica is an online dermatology service, a team of expert dermatologists, pharmacists and formulation scientists providing clinically proven prescription skincare across a range of skin concerns. Dermatica treats acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma and signs of ageing with skincare treatments that are tailormade for each patient following an online consultation and in-depth review by the dermatology team. Each custom formulation contains effective prescription ingredients backed by years of independent clinical research and used by leading dermatologists worldwide.

Due to COVID-19, access to GPs and dermatologists is currently very limited with most clinics currently closed. For those struggling with a skin condition, not being able to get the treatment needed is frustrating at best. Worst case, it can start to impact mental health. 

To help the public and the National Health Service during these challenging times, where access to professional medical care is so limited, Dermatica is offering the first month of treatment for free* to anyone struggling with a skin concern. If you are NHS staff, you can use the service, free of charge, for three months.** Dermatica offers a tailored, accessible and affordable option to anyone who cannot obtain the professional advice and access to prescription treatments they require, from the safety of their home.

“We believe everyone deserves access to the highest quality professional advice and effective prescription treatments. With many people unable to access their GP or dermatologist, we want to offer our service for free to help everyone with skin concerns. At a time where people are feeling the strain of the lockdown, skin conditions can adversely affect people’s mental health. By offering Dermatica to everyone for free we hope that everyone can access the help and treatment they need.”
Dwayne D’Souza, Founder of Dermatica

As part of this, Dermatica has experienced an overwhelming increase in new patient enquiries and subscriptions. To manage the huge demand and ensure the continuation of the high standards and quality of service Dermatica expects of itself, they have implemented a waiting list. Dermatica aims to treat all patients as soon as possible and anyone on the waiting list will be entitled to the first month’s treatment free while the NHS is under increased strain.
