Long story, short
- Dr Andrew Markey’s ABCSPF programme is built on three master molecules: Vitamin A (Retinol), Vitamin B (Niacinamide), and Vitamin C — each targeting a different layer of skin health, from cell turnover to collagen stimulation and pigmentation control.
- Vitamin C is non-negotiable for Dr Markey: this antioxidant powerhouse stops UV-induced inflammaging, stimulates new collagen, prevents pigmentation, and brightens and evens skin tone — ensure it’s in your routine in a stable form.
- Dr Markey’s Youthbomb range features encapsulated and Granactive Retinoids for double-duty anti-ageing with minimal irritation — ideal for users ready to advance beyond entry-level Retinol.
- SPF should be daily and non-negotiable: "Don’t even ask the question. Don’t check the weather forecast. Just put sunscreen on every day, without thinking — just like you brush your teeth." — Dr Andrew Markey.
The skincare products that world-renowned dermatologist and Beauty Pie collaborator Dr Andrew Markey thinks you should you have on your shelf.
Not only has Dr Markey created some of his own sellout skincare icons for Beauty Pie (that would be you, Youthbomb 360 Radiance Concentrate), he’s also a big fan of some existing products in the lineup - especially those that form part of his ABCSPF programme, incorporating his three master molecules: vitamin A (Retinol), B (Niacinamide) and C.
See below for his latest edit of products that tick his boxes of proven results combined with winning formulations. “I’m very excited to be sharing my passion for education in healthy skin habits with the BEAUTY PIE team,” he says. “Using a mixture of dermatological know-how, skin science and a sprinkling of fun, I hope to help all on their journey towards healthy skin goals.”
