Psychodermatology is the study of the connection between psychological factors and skin health. It studies and treats skin conditions through a holistic lens by understanding the psychological effects of skin issues.
The reason psychodermatology looks at the mind-skin correlation is that the nervous system links both. Emotional and psychological stress can cause skin issues such as acne, psoriasis, hives, eczema, and rosacea, among others. With this treatment approach, patients can better manage the emotional issues of these skin conditions and improve their overall well-being.
Psychodermatological products are not considered habit-forming, as they do not contain addictive substances and do not cause physical dependence or withdrawal symptoms.
Our skincare products are safe to use as directed and do not pose a risk of dependence or addiction. They are non-habit forming and safe for daily usage.
Our products are designed for everyday use and can be used in tandem with other skincare products that are already on your shelf.
For the best results with psychodermatological routines, it is imperative also to do your best to address any underlying psychological factors that may be contributing to your skin condition. This may involve using other stress management techniques, such as mindfulness or relaxation exercises.
Dermatological testing is a process in which a product is evaluated for its potential effects on the skin, including its irritancy, sensitisation, and potential for causing adverse reactions.
Our psychodermatological products undergo dermatological testing to ensure their safety and efficacy. The testing is conducted under the supervision of a dermatologist, and the results are carefully monitored and analysed.
If you have concerns about the safety or efficacy of a particular psychodermatological product, feel free to get in touch with any questions.
Remember that everyone's skin is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. Determining which skincare regimen works best for you may involve a bit of trial and error, as different products and treatments may have varying levels of efficacy for different individuals.
However, you can take a few steps to help identify which regimen may work best for you. By working with a dermatologist, keeping a skincare journal to note changes, and being patient and consistent with your treatment plan, you can help identify which psychodermatological regimen works best for you.
Stopping the use of our products will have varying effects depending on the product and the individual's skin condition. By and large, you’ll be fine! We just always advise caution.
As the use of any of our products is paused, cortisol levels and skin conditions revert to pre-use levels. Discontinuing a product used to treat a skin condition having psychological implications, such as acne, eczema, or psoriasis, should be done carefully and gradually.
SEREKO products are made with internationally sourced, naturally derived ingredients. Our skincare products are all vegan, and nutraceuticals are vegetarian.
Psychodermatology is a specialised field of science that studies the powerful two-way connection between the mind and skin. It recognises that what happens in your mind can directly influence your skin's health and appearance, and vice versa. It's an established science, widely practised in Europe and the USA. Psychodermatology forms the core of SEREKO's approach to holistic skin health..
The reason psychodermatology looks at the mind-skin correlation is that the nervous system links both. Emotional and psychological stress can cause skin issues such as acne, psoriasis, hives, eczema, and rosacea, among others. With this treatment approach, patients can better manage the emotional issues of these skin conditions and improve their overall well-being.
When you experience stress or anxiety, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol. These hormones and constant stress signals directly impact your skin's health. This can lead to various visible concerns like increased oil production, acne breakouts, a compromised skin barrier, collagen breakdown, dullness, dark circles, and exacerbated pigmentation. Your skin, covered with neurotransmitters, is constantly communicating with your brain, making it a visible barometer of your internal state.
Yes, absolutely. Our products are designed to offer a holistic solution, improving both your skin health and your mood. Our patent-pending proprietary formula, NeuroCalm®, is clinically proven to reduce stress and enhance mood by promoting happy hormones like serotonin. It has been found to reduce cortisol production by up to 70% after 2 weeks of consistent use, at least 2x a day.
Yes, unequivocally. Our psychodermatology approach is rigorously backed by science and extensive research. Our formulations are guided by Dr. Jafferany, a pioneer and professor of Psychodermatology with over 30 years of experience. Our products are designed to create a genuine physiological effect on your body by regulating stress hormones, rather than just a placebo effect, and are free from endocrine disruptors. Check out "Our Science" for more in-depth information.
Many users begin to see visible skin improvements within 3–4 weeks of consistent use. These improvements often include reduced active acne, less oiliness, and fading marks. Beyond the skin, you can also expect to feel calmer, less anxious, and more emotionally resilient. For even faster and more comprehensive results, combining our oral nutraceuticals with topical skincare has been shown to work 2x faster compared to topical skincare alone. Consistent usage is key for sustained benefits.
No, SEREKO skincare is not a substitute for traditional therapy or medical treatment for severe mental health conditions.
While our products are incredibly effective at helping you manage symptoms of stress and anxiety and their impact on your skin by regulating cortisol, they do not cure underlying mental health disorders. If you are struggling with your mental health, we strongly encourage you to seek professional medical or therapeutic help. We aim to complement your overall well-being journey, not replace professional care.
If you stop using SEREKO products, the stress relief benefits and their positive impact on your skin, which are sustained through consistent use, will gradually diminish. Your cortisol levels will slowly return to how they were before you started using the products. Rest assured, you will be alright, but the ongoing benefits of stress management for your mind and skin will cease with discontinued use.
No, while many people find aromatherapy and similar practices helpful for stress relief and relaxation, Psychodermatology is a distinct scientific field. Unlike aromatherapy, which primarily works through sensory experience and mood, psychodermatology has a direct physiological effect on your body. It scientifically studies and addresses the direct biological pathways, like stress hormone regulation, between your mind and your skin, without relying on a placebo effect. It's a targeted, science-backed approach to skin health that recognizes this deep internal connection.
NeuroCalm® works from within and through the skin to reduce cortisol production, directly alleviating its negative impact on your skin, and stimulates the production of serotonin, your body's natural "feel-good" hormone. With consistent use, you'll not only see improvements in visible skin symptoms but also experience a noticeable enhancement in your overall mood, feeling calmer and more resilient.
Yes, our products are suitable for all skin types and tested for safety on sensitive skin. However, you must keep in mind that every skin type is as different as a thumbprint. We strongly recommend performing a patch test prior to full facial application. Apply a small amount of the product to a discreet area, such as your inner arm or behind the ear, and observe for 24-48 hours.
