Celebrating 5 Years of Austin Skin

by | Aug 6, 2025

This month marks a special milestone for Austin Skin – we’re turning five! And while birthdays often call for cake and candles, this one feels a little different. For us, it’s a moment to pause, reflect and reconnect with why we do what we do – and more importantly, who we do it for: you.

Over the past five years, Austin Skin has grown from a small but ambitious idea into a trusted skincare brand with clinical credibility and a loyal community of real people, with real skin concerns. From the beginning, our goal was never just to create “nice products.” It was to offer solutions rooted in science, backed by clinical insight, and refined through the feedback of the very people who use them every day – our patients, our customers, and our community.

A Birthday Celebration: 15% Off, Just for You

To celebrate this milestone, we’re running a special Austin Skin Birthday Campaign – and you’re invited! For a limited time, you can enjoy 15% off our entire Austin Skin range. All you need to do is visit the Austin Skin Collection Page and enter your details. Once submitted, you’ll receive your exclusive discount code.

It’s our way of saying thank you for 5 incredible years of support, trust, and shared skin journeys.

The Why Behind Austin Skin

Austin Skin did not come to life in a boardroom. It started in a skin clinic, Austin Clinic, founded by Dr Susan Austin. Dr Austin is a medical practitioner with over 20 years’ experience as a general practitioner. She achieved Honours in her Diploma of Practical Dermatology and has undergone a variety of training courses focused on dermatology, lasers, cosmetic medicine and skin cancer medicine.

“What was missing in the skincare market was a range that truly bridged the gap between clinical knowledge and everyday skincare,” says Dr Austin about the birth of Austin Skin. “Many brands either lean too far into fluffy marketing or rely on harsh, clinical ingredients with little thought to comfort or experience.” Dr Austin created Austin Skin to strike the perfect balance – science-backed, clinic-approved skincare that you truly look forward to using.

Five Years of Evolution: From Clinic Bench to Bathroom Shelf

Over the last five years, Austin Skin has remained grounded in its clinical roots. “Our range has been shaped and reshaped by real-time feedback from the people who matter most … the clients who visit Austin Clinic every day,” says Dr Austin. “From sensitivity and acne to pigmentation and premature ageing, we’ve seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t.”

This insight has allowed Austin Skin to refine its formulas, introduce new products, and ensure that every item in the range answers a real-world skin concern. Many of our hero products – from our deeply hydrating serums to our gentle exfoliating treatments – were developed directly in response to patient needs.

We don’t chase trends. We solve problems. And it’s that clinical integrity that continues to set Austin Skin apart.

Built on Feedback and Powered by Trust

One of the most rewarding parts of our journey has been watching how our products become part of our customers’ daily rituals. We’ve received countless stories about how a serum helped calm a breakout before a wedding, or how a cleanser became a comforting part of a nightly wind-down.

These stories, this feedback, is the heartbeat of Austin Skin. “There’s no better product tester than a patient who’s been struggling with their skin,” says Dr Austin. “They tell us exactly what works and what doesn’t. That’s the source of our inspiration in product development and refinement.” It’s why we continue to test, improve, and evolve our formulations.

It’s why we’ll always remain clinically driven and community focused.

What’s Next for Austin Skin?

The next five years are just beginning, and we have exciting things on the horizon. We’ll continue to listen, to learn, and to innovate – all with your skin in mind. Whether you’re a long-time Austin Skin devotee or you’re just discovering us now, we invite you to celebrate with us.

We invite you to take advantage of the 15% birthday discount, try something new, or restock a favourite. And most importantly, you can rest assured that behind every product we offer there is a real-world clinic that listens, an educated and experienced team that cares, and a founder who believes that great skin starts with a personalised approach.

Thank you for being part of the Austin Skin journey. Here’s to glowing together for many more years to come.
