Confused by Skincare? Here’s How Dr Bravis Simplifies Your Routine

Skincare feels more confusing than ever. Between TikTok routines, endless serums and contradicting advice online, most people end up overwhelmed and unsure what their skin actually needs. Even patients who look after their skin well often tell us the same thing: “I don’t know what works anymore.”

This is exactly why Dr Theodora Bravis offers guided, personalised skincare support — and why we use Get Harley to make the entire process clear, simple and genuinely effective.

And for a limited time this November, patients can also enjoy Get Harley’s Black Friday offer – 10% off your personalised skincare plan.

Confused by Skincare? Here’s How Dr Bravis Simplifies Your Routine

Skincare feels more confusing than ever. Between TikTok routines, endless serums and contradicting advice online, most people end up overwhelmed and unsure what their skin actually needs. Even patients who look after their skin well often tell us the same thing: “I don’t know what works anymore.”

This is exactly why Dr Theodora Bravis offers guided, personalised skincare support — and why we use Get Harley to make the entire process clear, simple and genuinely effective.

And for a limited time this November, patients can also enjoy Get Harley’s Black Friday offer – 10% off your personalised skincare plan.

Why skincare feels so confusing right now

The skincare industry is loud. Every week there’s a new “must-have” product, trending ingredient or routine promising instant results. With so much noise, it’s hard to know what’s actually worth your money — or good for your skin long-term.

A big part of the confusion comes from the fact that most skin concerns overlap — it’s rarely just “dryness” or just “redness”, and it’s difficult to know what to prioritise. High-street products also differ hugely in strength and formulation, even when they appear similar, which only adds to the uncertainty. And because skin changes with seasons, hormones and stress levels, a routine that once worked can suddenly stop delivering results. All of this, combined with mixed messages online, leaves many people feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start.

We regularly hear things like:

  • “Why doesn’t anything actually work for my skin?”
  • “Do I need all these steps?”
  • “What’s the difference between high-street skincare and medical-grade?”

That’s why Dr Bravis offers structured, customised skincare advice through her Get Harley platform — so you’re no longer trying to figure everything out alone.

How a consultation with Dr Bravis cuts through the noise

Instead of guessing, Dr Bravis looks at your skin in a structured, medical-led way. During your consultation, she:

  • assesses the health of your skin barrier
  • identifies underlying sensitivity, inflammation or dehydration
  • reviews your current products
  • explains what your skin actually needs (in simple terms)
  • creates a plan that suits your lifestyle, time and budget
 

Everything is tailored. No complicated routines, no pressure to buy anything, and no jargon.

It’s designed for people who want results — but without harsh treatments or a bathroom full of products.

What is Get Harley and how does it help?

Get Harley is the platform that helps patients receive their personalised medical-grade skincare quickly and conveniently.

Patients love it because it takes away the confusion and gives you a routine that’s actually built for your skin.

Between 17th–30th November, you can get 10% off your skincare plan through Get Harley. For every order placed, Get Harley will also donate a product to Beauty Banks, supporting people in need.

Why medical-grade skincare makes such a difference

Most high-street skincare is designed to suit everyone — meaning it often has very diluted active ingredients.

Medical-grade products recommended through Get Harley are different because they:

  • contain higher quality, more effective ingredients
  • penetrate deeper into the skin
  • are backed by clinical research
  • are tailored to your skin type and concerns
  • are only recommended by trained practitioners
 

This is why patients often notice clearer, calmer, brighter-looking skin far more quickly.

What concerns can Dr Bravis help with?

You don’t need perfect skin to start — you just need clarity.

Common concerns patients seek help for include:

  • congestion and breakouts
  • pigmentation and uneven tone
  • redness, sensitivity or rosacea-prone skin
  • dryness or dehydration
  • dull or tired-looking skin
  • early signs of ageing
  • skin barrier problems
  • combination skin

What patients often say after switching to a structured plan

 

“My routine finally makes sense.”

“My skin isn’t reactive anymore.”

“I’ve saved so much money by stopping the guesswork.”

“My skin actually looks clearer and brighter.”

“It’s so easy having everything delivered.”

 

A guided routine removes the stress — and lets your skin settle, strengthen and improve steadily.

Need expert advice?

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between high-street skincare and medical-grade skincare?

High-street skincare is designed for general use, so the active ingredients are usually lower in strength.

Medical-grade skincare contains more effective, clinically tested ingredients that penetrate deeper and deliver better results – but it must be recommended by a qualified practitioner after assessing your skin properly.

Do I have to buy everything Get Harley recommends?

No. There’s no subscription and no commitment.


You choose which products you want and when you want them. Many patients start with just one or two essentials and build their routine gradually.

How much does a skincare consultation with Dr Bravis cost?

Your consultation fee of £50 covers a full skin assessment, a personalised routine and expert guidance.

Will medical-grade skincare irritate my skin?

Not when it’s chosen correctly.

Because Dr Bravis assesses your skin first, she recommends products that suit your skin type, sensitivity and goals — so you get stronger results without unnecessary irritation.

Is Get Harley a subscription service?

No. Get Harley simply delivers the products in your personalised plan to your door.

You only buy what you want, when you need it.

How quickly will I see results?

Most patients notice a difference in 4–6 weeks, especially in clarity, texture and sensitivity.

If your routine is being adjusted over time by Dr Bravis, improvements continue gradually and steadily.

Can Dr Bravis help if I already have a long routine?

Yes – and many patients come in with this exact issue.

Most routines can be simplified, removing what you don’t need and keeping the products that genuinely help your skin improve.

Do I need to stop using my current products before the consultation?

No. Bring a list or photo of what you’re using. It helps Dr Bravis understand what’s working, what’s not, and how to streamline things for you.

Do you only see skincare patients from Thames Ditton?

Not at all. We regularly see patients from across Surrey and South West London — including Surbiton, Kingston, Esher, Cobham, Molesey, Hinchley Wood and Walton-on-Thames.
