Has the brand been stocked at Harrods?
Yes. Antonia Burrell Skincare launched into Urban Retreat at Harrods in 2011. Antonia’s facial techniques and products were used in Urban Retreat’s signature facial for three years, and her launch treatment, The Natural Facial Lift featured the brand.
Why do you use violet glass packaging?
Violet glass is used to help protect the integrity of the formulas by shielding the contents from damaging light exposure. It supports the preservation of delicate plant actives and reflects the brand’s commitment to premium formulation and presentation.

Do you use harsh or unnecessary ingredients?
No. Our Plant Tech® formulations are created without synthetic preservatives or unnecessary artificial ingredients. We use high-performance plant bio-actives chosen to support skin comfort, balance and visible results.
What kind of formulation technologies do you use?
Our Plant Tech® approach may include advanced delivery and bio-transformation systems such as fermentation, exosomes, olesomes, plant stem cells and upcycled ingredients, alongside modern clinically proven plant bio-actives, to help maximise skin compatibility and formula performance.
Products and Suitability
Are your products suitable for all skin tones?
Yes. Antonia Burrell Skincare is developed with an understanding of global skin physiology and is suitable for all skin tones, including melanin-rich skin.
Can I use your products if I have very dry, sensitive or reactive skin?
Many customers with dry, sensitive or reactive skin choose Antonia Burrell Skincare because the formulas are designed to support comfort, hydration and skin barrier balance and build resilience. If you have a diagnosed condition such as eczema or psoriasis, we recommend patch testing first and seeking advice from your GP or dermatologist if needed.
Why do you mention global skin tones and global skin physiology?
Because skin does not behave identically across all tones and heritage backgrounds. Sensitivity, barrier response, inflammation, pigmentation patterns and visible skin behaviour can present differently. Our approach is designed to respect that reality rather than ignore it.
Are your products only for one skin type or age group?
No. The range, designed by global skin expert Antonia Burrell will support skin behaviour across multiple concerns, including dehydration, dullness, uneven tone, dark marks, sensitivity, congestion and visible signs of ageing and more
Where should I start if I am new to the brand?
Natural Glow Cleansing Oil is often the best place to begin. It thoroughly removes makeup, SPF and daily impurities while supporting the skin barrier and leaving the skin soft, calm and radiant.
Can I use your products if my skin is reactive or easily overwhelmed?
Yes. The range is designed to support skin behaviour and barrier integrity, making it especially helpful for skin that feels stressed, sensitised or unsettled.
Do I need a full routine, or can I start with one product?
You can begin with one product, but the best results usually come from a considered routine that supports the skin more consistently over time.
How do I know which products are right for me?
Use the Skin Diagnosis section on the website for guidance, or book an in-clinic facial if you would like a more tailored recommendation.
Natural Glow Cleansing Oil
What does Natural Glow Cleansing Oil remove?
Natural Glow is designed to remove makeup, SPF, excess oil and daily impurities while helping to maintain comfort and barrier balance.
Will Natural Glow leave my skin feeling tight or stripped?
No. It is designed to cleanse thoroughly without leaving skin dry, tight or uncomfortable.
Is Natural Glow suitable for melanin-rich skin?
Yes. Natural Glow is suitable for all skin tones, including melanin-rich skin.
Can I use Natural Glow morning and evening?
Yes. It can be used as part of both your morning and evening routine, depending on your skin’s needs and preferences.
Why is an oil cleanser a good first step?
An oil cleanser works with the skin’s natural lipid environment to dissolve makeup, SPF and impurities more effectively, without the stripped feeling many traditional cleansers can leave behind.
Routines & Results
What is the difference between buying one product and buying a routine?
A single product can improve one part of your routine. A routine is designed to support the skin more comprehensively, which usually leads to better consistency and better visible results.
Should I start with products or book a facial first?
If you want to begin at home, start with the products or use the Skin Diagnosis section to find the most suitable routine. If your skin feels persistently reactive, imbalanced, congested or in need of faster correction, booking a facial is often the best place to start.
Are your routines suitable for all skin tones too?
Yes. Our routines are built around skin behaviour and global skin physiology, with suitability across all skin tones in mind.
How long will it take to see results?
That depends on your skin, consistency and the concern being addressed. Many customers notice improvements in comfort, clarity, hydration and radiance early on, while deeper changes generally require more consistent use.
Facials & Booking
Do you offer in-clinic facial treatments?
Yes. Antonia Burrell offers expert in-clinic facial treatments tailored to how your skin is behaving on the day.
What is the difference between skincare and a facial treatment?
Homecare supports your skin consistently between appointments. A facial allows for a more advanced, tailored and hands-on correction based on how your skin is presenting in real time.
Which facial should I book if I am unsure?
The Bespoke Skin Behaviour Correction Facial is the best place to start if you want a personalised treatment based on your skin’s current needs.
Can I book treatments online?
Yes. Treatments can be booked online through the Book Online page.
Do you offer targeted treatments as well as bespoke facials?
Yes. The treatment menu includes bespoke facials as well as targeted skin correction, lifting and firming, facial cupping and advanced cosmetic procedures.
Can I use the products between facial appointments?
Yes. Homecare is an important part of maintaining and extending the results of your treatment.
