In this episode of Skin Deep, I sit down with Mr Paul Naude, Head of Regulatory Affairs and Quality Management at Advanced Nutrition Programme, to celebrate the launch of their newest innovation, Skin Integrate 28.
Seven years in the making and backed by 46 clinical studies, this is not just another gut health powder. Skin Integrate 28 is a prebiotic-rich, science-led formulation designed to nourish your gut microbiome — the invisible ecosystem that holds the key to so much of our health, including the skin.
Formulated with 23 plant fibres and polyphenols, three amino acids, zinc, and vitamin C, it’s a powerhouse blend created to:
▪️ Encourage digestive regularity
▪️ Support skin clarity and reduce redness
▪️ Strengthen the gut-skin axis
▪️ Elevate energy, sleep, and overall resilience
This episode explores the rising trend of nutrition powders, what sets Skin Integrate 28 apart, and why feeding the microbiome is the first and most vital step in supporting skin from within.
If you’re curious about gut health, skin inflammation, or simply want to feel better from the inside out , this is the episode for you.

Welcome to another episode of "SkinDeep by Corinna Tolan." Today, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Douglas McGeorge, the brilliant mind behind the Science of Skin skincare line. We'll delve into the fascinating world of scar improvement and how Science of Skin's products can make a real difference.
We'll kick things off with their standout product, Solution for Scars.

We’ll also explore the power of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), an anti-inflammatory superstar derived from green tea.
Dr. McGeorge and I discuss the wide range of products in the Science of Skin lineup, which cater to issues like acne, stretch marks, and insect bites. We'll cover the benefits of using these products before and after surgery, and for conditions such as peri-oral dermatitis and post-inflammatory erathema . Plus, these products are safe for use during pregnancy and on children, making them a versatile addition to your skincare routine.
As we wrap up, I'll share where you can get your hands on Science of Skin products. Stay tuned for an insightful and informative episode!

Today, I am joined by my sister-in-law and local Fine Gael candidate, Sharon Tolan, in the run-up to our local elections. Although I am not politically minded, every day, I am in awe of the passion and energy this lady has in pursuing the greater good of the local community. Only this morning, I enjoyed a 10km walk with her on a beautiful beach devoid of cars because she was brave enough to campaign for their removal from our beaches. We also chat about her and my brother's relationship, one of my favourite stories and one I often refer to in the treatment room, as well as Skin and skincare and life for a woman in politics. I hope you enjoy this episode. Please share it with your friends and family so we can grow Skin Deep together. Thank you to Lusso Tan for bringing us today's episode of SkinDeep By Corinna Tolan

Probably the most misunderstood molecule in skincare, Vitamin A is as vital for healthy skin as oxygen is for life. It is the chief instigator of all events within the skin's cellular matrix, including hyaluronic acid and collagen synthesis. And the greatest myth, in my opinion, is that the more irritating the form is, the better the results. The skin is an organ; just like any organ, if you continuously stress it by using harsh and irritating ingredients, it will become compromised, inflamed and uncomfortable. If you are passionate about skin and skin health, then today's episode of Skin Deep is essential listening.

Almost two years ago I was invited to Lutronics head office in London for a LaseMD treatment. I had been looking into RF microneedling devices as there was a buzz on social media about them but also curious about the 1927 nm Thulium Laser. After three days, I was sold. The results I could see coming and how comfortable and safe the procedure had been were enough for me to want to be the first person in Ireland to bring a Lutronic device to the country. Today, I am joined by the genius behind the devices, CTO James Bartholomeusz. James is an expert in the science and development of lasers for aesthetic technologies. Also, after experiencing hair loss, he has formulated Kerafactor—a hair growth stimulant to be used with LaseMD. He has succeeded in getting clearance for the European market and was eager to share his insights with me regarding RF microneedling a]and how LaseMD is also his favourite of all Lutronic devices. As always, thank our sponsor Lusso Tan for bringing you this episode.
Just four weeks before her Just four weeks before her wedding, 2fm presenter and DWTS champ Lottie Ryan came into my clinic, desperate for me to help where many others had let her down. Her skin had been peeled to the point of collapse, and I promised to build it back up for her. What Lottie didn't know when she left was the little chat I had with her heavenly father, Gerry Ryan, whom I was a big fan of, thanking him for sending her to me and promising him I would fix her. That began a fast-track journey to beautiful, healthy skin for Lottie and a really special relationship for us. It has been a joy watching Lottie accomplish her dreams on the dance floor with Dancing with the Stars as well as Blossom on RTE 2fm and today, making the very courageous move of stepping away from her agent and starting her podcast Jen and Lottie do Parenting. You will find Lottie on her social channels @Lottieryan1, as well as her funny and charming podcast Jen & Lottie Do Parenting
