What do you do if you’re an aesthetic physician and eye surgeon who perfects faces for a living, but can’t find the right skincare for your clientele to amplify their clinical results? You develop your own.
London-based Dr Maryam Zamani, founder of MZ SKIN and a globally recognised oculoplastic surgeon and expert in facial rejuvenation, has spent her career observing that keeping her well-heeled patients en pointe with their skincare routines requires products that don’t just work, but are a delight to use as well.
And when it came to creating her own products, Zamani combined her vast clinical knowledge and expertise, as well as her own personal experience. After the birth of her second baby in 2014, she developed melasma (a common type of pigmentation that can occur during and after pregnancy), it was very hard for her to find doctor-led skincare that was pleasurable enough for her to stick with. But stick with it she had to in order to get results.
Pleasure, it became all too clear, is important for enticing good habits, so when she set out to create the perfect skincare collection for her patients and skincare devotees in general, indulgent, luxury textures were as much in the forefront of her mind as clinical-grade actives and cutting-edge formulations.
Doctor-led skincare with an indulgent twist
The result was MZ SKIN, a female-founded, performance-led luxury skincare brand with particular expertise in targeted eye care, owing to Dr Maryam’s international standing as ‘the eye doctor’. With effective under-eye rejuvenation among people’s main obsessions when it comes to skincare, it pays to have an authority in eye health and aesthetics, driving the development of science-led, innovative products for the eye area and beyond. It’s no wonder the brand is lauded by dermatologists and editors as well as lovers of luxury skincare the world over – Serena Williams, Gisele Bündchen and Sienna Miller are just a few of its fans.
Launched a decade ago, MZ SKIN’s mission and promise were to ‘reveal, enhance and protect’, and it has aided customers in doing so while increasingly pushing the envelope in terms of what’s possible. That goes not just for serums and creams, but for the most advanced beauty tech as well.
Comprising clinically-cleared rejuvenating LED masks for the face and eyes, advanced retinoid formulations and pioneering ingredients such as a ‘bio-placenta’ regenerative peptide complex, these award-winning products are as active as they are gentle on compromised skin. Focused on biotechnological innovation, they are free from any synthetics you wouldn’t want to see in your skincare.
What started out as a capsule collection now comprises 50 products and edited sets. They are, naturally, all equally dear to Dr Maryam, but if she were forced to choose, which 10 items would she pick for a routine that guarantees the plumped-out, radiant glow now known as ‘glass skin’ (or ‘butter skin’ – you choose) at any age? It wasn’t easy, but here they are. And – discount alert! – we’ve got a 20% off the entire MZ SKIN range for all new customers until 24 July 2025. So this is the perfect opportunity to discover what that could mean for your skin.
10 of the best MZ SKIN buys
The does-it-all LED face mask:
MZ SKIN Lightmax Supercharged LED Mask 2.0, £750
Featuring the three proven LED wavelengths (blue for antibacterial acne control and red plus near-infrared for anti-inflammatory and collagen-boosting therapy), this mask’s pretty-in-pink shade belies its FDA-cleared clinical credentials that guarantee you’ll enjoy the benefits of LED. Easy to use and comfortable to wear around the house thanks to its padded straps, bathing your face in these lights for ten minutes a day, three to five times a week is enough to see your skin condition improve, and build more resilient, slower-ageing skin in the long term.
Buy NowThe soft cleanse:
MZ SKIN The Calming Cream Cleanser, £55
No skincare routine is worth its salt without a cleanser that purifies as much as it cares. One designed for even the most sensitive of skins will be effective across the board – it is a myth that oily, problem skin needs to be treated more harshly than dry and delicate complexions. This jojoba and sweet almond oil-based purifier with added prebiotics and antioxidant vitamin E gets rid of grime and sebum but not of essential lipids, and leaves skin comfortable, soft and noticeably more even-looking in preparation for your serums and creams.
Buy NowThe radiance fix:
MZ SKIN Radiance & Renewal Instant Clarity Refining Mask, £125
Fifteen minutes to a red-carpet glow: this oxygenating, hydrating cream mask features a cocktail of advanced alpha hydroxy and polyhydroxy acids plus enzymes to polish your skin to perfection. Soothing agents will keep redness at bay while peppermint extract lends a cooling feel as you kick back twice a week to bring the brightness back to your skin.
Buy NowThe eye transformer:
MZ SKIN Intensive Bio-Placenta Eye Cream, £180
A great eye cream treads a fine line between nourishment and the need not overwhelm delicate eye skin, as well as between serious regenerative ability and a total lack of potential irritation. This delicate formula achieves it all, instantly smoothing and refining the eye area without weighing it down. Powered by bio-mimetic placenta and M5RX (two finely-tuned peptide and micronutrient complexes) it supplies tired, dry eye skin with what it needs to re-appear radiant and quenched, with crepiness, lines and dark circles reduced.
Buy NowThe stop-the-clock serum:
MZ SKIN Advanced Retinol Complex Serum, £125
Retinol, granactive retinoid, and bakuchiol – these three A-list regenerative powerhouses are all present in this serum, formulated to pack a punch without upsetting the skin. Lines will be smoothed, discolouration will lighten, and oiliness and enlarged pores will retreat. With retinol serums a dime a dozen, it takes an expert to create one that achieves all of this without any drawbacks (and with a nourishing, pleasantly scented texture), and Dr Maryam has deployed her clinical expertise to do just that.
Buy NowThe pigmentation blaster:
MZ SKIN Brighten & Perfect Vitamin C Serum 10%, £250
This is a serum that doesn’t just rely on one of the most bio-available, brightening, protective and line-reducing forms of vitamin C. It has pigmentation-interrupting tranexamic acid and line-plumping peptides as well, all captured in a light but nourishing serum that you want to deploy every morning in the same way that you want to use your retinol serum every evening, before smoothing on your moisturiser.
Buy NowThe eye lights:
MZ SKIN Lightmax Minipro Eyeconic LED, £300
If an eye surgeon offers LED light therapy specifically for the eye area, you know its effectiveness is backed by proper science. The reusable but weightless under-eye patches are charged like any chargeable device, and switch on to emit the magic red and near-infrared LED frequencies that induce cell hydration, collagen production and inflammation reduction. In the delicate, thin undereye area this is bound to show as brighter, less crepey skin if you use your patches consistently: three to five days a week for ten minutes is advised.
Buy NowThe cosseting cream:
MZ SKIN Restorative Bio-Placenta Cream, £275
Skin’s lipid barrier has rightfully come into focus over the past years, as without this protective layer in the best of health, skin will go nowhere fast. This sumptuous cream not only helps restore your barrier (even after intensive clinical procedures), it sinks in deep to help regenerate the proteins that lend skin plumpness and bounce. A full 100% of women who used it noticed a visible reduction in lines and wrinkles, which is quite an achievement for just one cream.
Buy NowThe nourishing drops:
MZ SKIN Reviving Antioxidant Facial Oil, £160
As skin ages, it needs ever more moisture and lipids to replenish the ones that time takes away, and that’s where this facial oil comes in. It adds radiance and comfort when and where needed. This supreme blend relies on seed oils (the most nutrient-dense of all) to provide essential protective antioxidants, a main line of defence for any skin, and essential fatty acids, a key component of a healthy skin barrier, to keep skin in prime condition and free from redness.
Buy NowThe super shield:
MZ SKIN Expert UV Protector SPF50, £110
Compliance is everything with skincare, and never more so than with daily SPF which, every skin doctor knows, is the most important product in your arsenal. So how to make sure people use it every day? By making it as delicious as it is effective. This broad-screen, antioxidant and stem cell-spiked UV screen is lightweight and fast-absorbing and balances, soothes and deeply hydrates while it performs its essential task of keeping the sun’s destructive rays well out. This is truly an SPF with far-reaching benefits.
