people, exploring beauty trends and unpacking the sometimes confusing terminology of skincare. But today we\u2019re talking about the little award-winning tube that started it all \u2013 it\u2019s time to celebrate the Daily Doser.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hero product was not only named as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.co.uk\/best-skincare-products-2023\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.co.uk\/best-skincare-products-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Serum at the 2023 Who What Wear Next In Beauty Awards<\/a>, but it also picked up the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.co.uk\/best-skincare-products-2023\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.co.uk\/best-skincare-products-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best In Class Award in the Skin Category<\/a>. The judges gave it 10s across the board, with Who What Wear UK news writer Natalie Munro noting: &#8220;My Daily Doser was tailored to my needs and quickly got to work at reducing spots. My skin has been clearer and looking healthier since I started using it\u201d. High praise indeed!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year we\u2019ve also picked up the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.womanandhome.com\/beauty\/2023-woman-and-home-clever-skincare-award-winners\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.womanandhome.com\/beauty\/2023-woman-and-home-clever-skincare-award-winners\/\" target=\"_blank\">Woman&amp;Home Clever Skincare award for Innovation in Skincare<\/a> \u2013 they commended Skin + Me for creating \u201cFormulas that genuinely transform skin\u201d \u2013 and we were shortlisted for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CqQrMs3oT_I\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CqQrMs3oT_I\/\">Best Skincare Brand at The Sunday Times Style Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s an impressive (and growing) collection of accolades \u2013 but why is the Skin + Me Daily Doser loved by customers and the beauty industry alike? Let us count the ways\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>What makes our Daily Doser special?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Daily Doser is an (infinitely recyclable) aluminium tube packed with your personalised treatment cream from Skin + Me. Each Daily Doser contains four weeks worth of doses. That way there\u2019s never any wasted or expired product, and we can produce as much product as needed every month \u2013 less waste for you at home, and less waste for us at the pharmacy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It uses our unique \u201ctwist-and-click\u201d technology to dispense the perfect amount of cream every time \u2013 you\u2019ll be able to hear or feel the click when you turn the top half of the tube. There\u2019s even a handy counter on the side, which moves down each time you use it, so you can be safe in the knowledge that you\u2019re not using too much or too little.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Daily Doser is personalised to you \u2013 that\u2019s why your name is on the tube. When you sign up (and if you\u2019re eligible), our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\">Prescribing Team<\/a> will create your bespoke treatment plan.
