As a beauty journalist, Sarah Bradbury spends her days testing skincare products, but she found herself overwhelmed by the sheer volume of options and conflicting advice. Her solution came in the form of Klira, a personalised prescription skincare service founded by Consultant Dermatologist Dr. Emma Craythorne. New customers can save 15% off the first 3 months of the Klira Skin Longevity Plan with the code: SKINHEALTH15.
What is The Klira Special?
The Klira Special is a personalised prescription skincare treatment created after an online assessment, photo review, and medical consultation with Klira's Dermatology Team. It combines prescription and cosmetic ingredients into one bespoke formula, delivered directly to your door. The formula evolves over time to support healthier, longer-lasting skin, with ongoing expert guidance included throughout the subscription. It costs from £59 a month.
Rather than asking users to self-diagnose their skin type, Klira starts with a free online SkinSize™ test that analyses how skin functions, from barrier and collagen production to melanin and sebum levels. The Klira Dermatology Team then reviews skin photographs and medical history before creating a bespoke prescription formula.
The journalist's experience
Bradbury has been using The Klira Special since January. Despite occasional lapses in consistency—forgetting to apply it, taking breaks, or falling asleep in makeup—her skin has continued to improve. She notes that while she has tested countless other products during that time, Klira has remained a constant in her routine.
What she appreciates most is having a personalised plan that removes the guesswork. She no longer wonders whether she needs vitamin C, retinol, peptides, or acids, as the decision-making is handled by experts. The formula's evolution over time, designed to maximise results while managing irritation, feels more considered than one-size-fits-all products.
Convenience and appeal
The subscription model ensures her next cartridge arrives when needed, eliminating the need to remember to reorder. Bradbury describes it as "skincare on autopilot, but with real dermatological expertise behind it."
Klira is aimed at people who are fed up with trial and error, whether they're concerned about pigmentation, breakouts, redness, skin texture, or simply want a more intelligent approach to long-term skin health. Bradbury's biggest takeaway after several months is that skincare feels simpler, less overwhelming, and far more personalised than before.
