GIGI facials: choosing the right treatment for your skin, not your age
Skinique mainly uses the Israeli professional brand GIGI Laboratories. We explain what the lines do, how they differ and how to find the GIGI facial that suits your skin.

Why GIGI?
GIGI Laboratories is an Israeli professional skincare manufacturer used by cosmetologists around the world. There are lines for different needs – hydration, breakouts, mature skin and brightening – designed to work together: the studio treatment and home products support each other.
At Skinique GIGI is our main brand because it lets us plan each treatment precisely around the skin's condition.
Start from your skin, not your age
Many choose a treatment by age: acne care when young, anti-age at forty. But skin doesn't follow birthdays. A 25-year-old's skin can be dehydrated and tired, and a 50-year-old can have breakouts.
So at Skinique the treatment is chosen by what matters most for your skin right now. Usually we calm and cleanse first, then intensify. If your skin has several needs, treatments can be alternated or done as a series.
What can happen inside a pore?
Skin can have all of these at the same time.
Clear canal
A follicle without an obvious blockage, shown for comparison.
Closed comedone
A blockage beneath the surface. Care depends on the whole skin condition.
Open comedone
The dark plug reflects oxidation; it does not mean the skin is dirty.
Inflammation
Redness and pain need attention. Persistent or deep inflammation calls for medical assessment.

Hydration starts with the skin barrier.
Imagine the outer layer as a network of cells with lipids between them.
When the barrier feels stressed
Irritation and tightness are signs that your routine needs a review. When the barrier is weak, moisture escapes from the skin more easily.
Barrier support
Suitable cleansing and moisturising help the skin hold on to moisture and feel comfortable.
GIGI programmes: a plan over several visits
Many skin changes need more than one treatment. That's why Skinique has five GIGI programmes, where visits are planned as a continuum and cost less than separately:
- Clear Skin for blemish-prone skin
- Anti-age for mature skin
- Glow for radiance
- Clean Start for young skin
- Restore for dry and sensitised skin
See all programmes and courses on the courses and programmes page.
Home care as part of the treatment
A studio visit changes the skin; home care keeps the change. Before you leave, we go through which of your current products suit you and what's worth changing. You don't have to buy GIGI home products – what matters is a consistent routine that suits your skin.
