Skin Pharmacy / Founder

Helping You Navigate the World of Skincare

In 2020, London-based Pharmacist Mahmoud Metwally founded Skin Pharmacy in response to a growing trend he had noticed in the skin care industry. He saw that many people were wasting money on ineffective and expensive products that didn't benefit their skin's health. They were getting skincare advice from advertisements on social media, and well-intentioned friends and family, instead of trained professionals, and weren’t seeing the results they so badly wanted.

Driven by this realisation and a commitment to changing the skincare experience, Mahmoud was determined to find a solution that worked.

He channelled his passion for science-based skincare towards creating a skincare space that would embrace our differences and help customers see the results they so wished for. He capitalised on his pharmacology skills, a special interest in dermatology, and his extensive work as a pharmacist in some of the world’s leading pharmacies, to create Skin Pharmacy.

Skin Pharmacy was inspired by the idea to democratise skincare - it should be accessible, simple to understand, deliver effective results, and tailored to the individual through clinically proven and dermatologically tested products. At Skin Pharmacy, we know that the best skincare routine is not one-size-fits-all and achieving beautiful, healthy skin is a unique journey for everyone. With this in mind, we developed our Skincare Concierge for professional skin care—to meet the individual needs for every skin condition and type.

We believe the best and most effective skincare products are certified by evidence-based science. Our medical-grade products have been tested by our team of experts so you can be assured that each product meets our standards, as skincare experts. Our commitment to testing and approving products has allowed us to curate an exclusive range of brands proven to maintain skin health and treat specific skin needs.

The Science of Skincare, The Beauty of Results

London-based Pharmacist Mahmoud Metwally founded Skin Pharmacy in response to the surge of misinformation he had noticed in the skin care industry. With the shortage of dermatologists in the UK and in his field, as a Skin Pharmacist, he noticed people using products that didn’t benefit their skin health or support in achieving their skincare goals. There was a clear gap in the market for easy and free access to expert advice from trained skincare professionals.

Driven by this realisation and a commitment to changing the skincare experience, Mahmoud was determined to find a solution. He combined his pharmacology skills, keen interest in dermatology, and extensive work as a Pharmacist in some of the world’s leading pharmacies to create the UK's first Skincare Concierge - Skin Pharmacy. He channelled his passion for science-based skincare towards creating a skincare space that democratises skincare through free, always-on expert advice, and supporting customers with their skin goals, through carefully selected and expertly crafted routines.
