FAQ

Is Karespot a GLP-1 medication?

No. Karespot makes topical skincare companions for people on GLP-1 journeys. We never sell the medication itself. Our products support the skin and body changes that can come with rapid weight loss.

Who is Karespot for?

Anyone experiencing the skin changes that often accompany rapid weight loss — dryness, loss of facial volume, crepey texture, or reduced firmness — whether on a GLP-1 programme or not.

How long until I see results?

Most users report skin feeling more cushioned and hydrated within the first few weeks of consistent twice-daily use. Visible improvements in texture and firmness build gradually over 4–8 weeks.

How do I use the moisturiser?

Apply morning and evening to freshly cleansed skin. Use upward strokes across the cheeks, jawline and neck. A pea-sized amount is enough for the full face.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Our formulas are free from parabens and mineral oil and are designed to support a compromised barrier. As with any new skincare, we recommend a patch test first. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Are your claims backed by science?

Yes. Our formulations are developed by a practising dermatologist and an Oxford-trained biologist, and the ingredient science is supported by published, peer-reviewed research.

Can I subscribe and save?

Yes. Subscriptions deliver on your chosen schedule with free shipping, and you can pause or cancel anytime with no lock-in.

    GLP-1 skin questions, answered

    What is 'GLP-1 face'?

    'GLP-1 face' is a cosmetic term for the hollow, gaunt, prematurely aged look that can follow rapid GLP-1 weight loss. When facial fat is lost faster than skin can retract, the face can look deflated, with more visible folds and laxity. It is a change in skin and facial structure, not a medical condition.

    ReferenceReference

    Yes, indirectly. The medication itself does not damage skin, but the fast weight loss it drives can cause facial volume loss, skin laxity, dryness and a weakened moisture barrier. Dermatology reviews now describe these as common, manageable effects of GLP-1 weight loss.

    ReferenceReference

    Skin relies on collagen and elastin to retract as you slim down, but rapid loss outpaces that renewal, so skin can slacken before it adapts. The effect is usually greater with larger or faster weight loss and in more mature skin.

    ReferenceReference

    Topicals cannot replace lost facial fat, but they can soften the visible changes. Humectants like hyaluronic acid plump and hydrate, barrier lipids lock in moisture, and firming actives support elasticity. Starting early, while skin is still adapting, tends to give the best results. This is skincare guidance, not medical advice.

    ReferenceReference

    Four ingredients do most of the work: hyaluronic acid for deep hydration, ceramides with niacinamide to rebuild the skin barrier, firming actives to support collagen and elasticity, and squalane to restore a soft, healthy looking surface.

    ReferenceReference

    Often, yes. Lower food and fluid intake plus rapid metabolic change leave skin drier and can weaken its lipid barrier, raising transepidermal water loss (TEWL), which is felt as tightness, flaking and sensitivity. Replenishing ceramides has been shown to help restore the barrier.

    ReferenceReference

    The fat loss itself can be long lasting, but skin appearance often improves as weight stabilises and with consistent supportive care, and some people also consider in clinic volume treatments. Daily hydration, barrier repair and firming meaningfully improve day to day skin quality. Discuss medical options with your clinician.

    ReferenceReference

    As early as you can, ideally when you start treatment or notice the first signs of dryness or hollowing. Supporting hydration, barrier and firmness while skin is still adapting helps limit how visible the changes become.

    ReferenceReference
    “You lost the weight. You deserve skin that reflects how you feel — not how fast you lost it.”

    Apply morning and evening to cleansed skin. Most users see visible improvement by week 4.
