A new skincare brand always gets us excited at GTG Towers, but one that comes with 36 years of extensive medical expertise and has used all that scientific know-how to create a range of products for skin that needs extra nourishment and care and are super affordable, gets us quite giddy.
Meet GentleCare, a skincare brand consisting of three products – Face Cream, £29.99, Hand Cream, £14.99 and Body Lotion, £19.99 – each containing simple but effective ingredients to support, not over-stimulate, the skin and at affordable prices, making them easy to incorporate into your routine.
You can buy them individually or snap up the GentleCare Bundle, £58.50 which contains all three products and comes with a 10% saving. But we have an exclusive discount code which will get you a further 10% off so you can get the GentleCare Bundle for just £52.65! Scroll down for more information.
GentleCare is the brainchild of Meditrade, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of medical products and a cornerstone of the healthcare industry. During the pandemic, they expanded their offering of protective products to include skincare to help soothe and repair frontline workers’ skin from mask-wearing and excessive hand-washing.
The pandemic is long over, but our need for simplified skincare products – no ten-step routines here, thank you very much – that hydrate, nourish and repair the skin barrier endures. And that’s where GentleCare comes in. Their collection of products blends medical-grade expertise with effective skincare, is suitable for all skin types and is perfect for everyday use.
And as we get into the depths of winter, when the combination of cold weather and central heating makes all skin drier and prone to cracking and flaking, GentleCare has all of your skin needs covered with ingredients that work and are backed by science.
Which is exactly why we put the GentleCare range to the test. Here’s how the GTG team got on.

GentleCare Body Lotion, £19.99
“My arms and legs reach peak scaliness at this time of year, dried out by ferocious central heating and being encased in multiple layers of clothing 90 per cent of the time. But this new body lotion is just the ticket. It contains hydrating calendula and sweet almond oil and feels rich and luxuriant in texture yet soaks in speedily – ideal for when you need to get out the house asap in the morning. My limbs still feel soft many hours after application and the subtle peach flower fragrance lingers but never overpowers. I’m now pleasingly descaled in time for party season.”

“As someone who has trashed her skin barrier before with over-exfoliating and too many actives (perioral dermatitis and antibiotics are not fun!) I’m always mindful of having a nourishing and comforting moisturiser on hand to use after my weekly acid peel, my three-times-a-week retinoid and generally when my skin is dry and thirsty. The GentleCare Face Cream never feels greasy – my makeup sits brilliantly on top too, and at night it does a great job of preventing TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss), which is an issue for me in mid-life. The tube is handbag-sized too, for whatever dryness the day throws at me.”
Becki Murray, GTG's Contributing Editor tried...
“My hands are always the first thing to show when wintry weather strikes: they get dry, and chapped, especially around my knuckles, so I always carry hand cream with me when on the go. This one absorbs super quickly, so it doesn’t leave that sticky feel, and having had a good deep dive into the ingredients list, I love that the formula contains calendula extract and zinc (alongside deeply nourishing ingredients, including panthenol and vitamin E). Both are anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing, meaning it’s even better at keeping sore, irritated skin at bay in the long term.”
