Most skin care products take a one fits all approach – youth, normal and older. That’s it. The team at Lamelle Research Laboratories view things slightly differently.

Skins are different, sensitive and tough, light and dark, and skin care is certainly not a one size fits all. Evidence Based Innovation is their by line, and for the last 10 years Lamelle have been reworking and recreating their brand to ensure that all their products are at the front of the curve.
