If you’re like others experiencing dark spots, enlarged pores, texture, lines & wrinkles, and loss of elasticity caused by sun damage, you’ll also understand how frustrating it is to treat these.
Perhaps you’ve felt confused by conflicting advice about how to minimise these and wonder what the most safe and effective treatment is.
And, you may be tired of spending hundreds of dollars on skincare products, supplements, and treatments, that make big promises but often produce temporary results.
You’re not alone. We see many people with sun damaged skin, and they tell us their similar frustrations with treating their skin. But, there is an answer. And it begins by understanding that sun damaged skin can be treated using a medical approach.
QR8 Mediskin is a doctor-prescribed and nurse-supported skincare service designed to address your specific challenges with evidence-based topical treatments that are simple to use (just a few minutes each day).
Our online skincare team gets to know you and your skin (using a detailed questionnaire combined with a secure video consultation) and prescribes a science-backed treatment from a choice of 20+ evidence-based ingredients that are targeted and blended for your specific skin condition.
As part of your treatment you also receive comprehensive skincare recommendations and ongoing support from our dermatology nurse via SMS, phone, email, and or video call.
Any discussion of anti-aging skincare and treatment starts with understanding how skin ages and wrinkles develop. There are a whole host of factors involved, but we can group them into 2 categories: intrinsic and extrinsic:
Intrinsic aging simply results from the passage of time. It is genetically-programmed, and results in cells slowing down and becoming less responsive. Skin cell turnover in the epidermis slows, along with the skin’s ability to repair itself (so treat it gently!).
There is less natural exfoliation of skin cells from the skin surface, caused by changes to the type and amount of moisturising substances (ceramides, fatty acids, cholesterol) produced in older skin. Dried skin cells accumulate, giving skin a rough, dry, dull appearance.
Female hormones like oestrogen also play a part. Skin cells (including fibroblasts – cells that make collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid) have receptors that bind oestrogen. Around menopause, less circulating oestrogen means there’s less around to bind to cells, resulting in thinner, more wrinkled, frail and drier skin. This is more obvious in facial skin as these cells have more oestrogen receptors than other areas of the body (the reason signs of aging accelerate around menopause, and we start searching in earnest for the best anti-aging treatments and anti-wrinkle skincare).
External lifestyle factors that contribute to aged skin include: sun exposure, smoking, pollution, diet, stress. These are typically things we can control versus the intrinsic factors. Read more about how diet can help with ‘future proofing’ your skin HERE.
Of these, the most important aging factor is damage caused by chronic UV exposure (also called ‘photodamage’ or ‘photoaging’). Around 90% of the changes we see in aged skin (rough, dry, deeply wrinkled, saggy skin with uneven texture and tone, depigmented white spots called ‘guttate hypomelanosis’ and broken vessels) are caused by the sun!
Photodamage doesn’t just affect the face – your neck and chest are also in the firing line! A good reason to take your anti-wrinkle skincare past the jawline.

No they can’t. At best, cosmetic anti-wrinkle moisturisers , serums and eye creams simply plump skin with added moisture to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It’s a temporary fix.
Our anti-aging products include a prescription retinoid – the only anti-aging ingredient backed by 100% of dermatologists, with scientific evidence that it works to reduce lines and wrinkles, improve sun damage, increase skin cell turnover and restore collagen production. If pigmented age spots are present, your doctor can often add fading ingredients like hydroquinone to target anti-aging and hyperpigmentation in the same cream.
We discussed this with UK dermatologist, Dr Natalia Spierings in our Instagram Live Skin Sessions Series.
