Combining a passion for skin health to rethink the way we approach skincare

Dr Sonal Chavda-Sitaram (MRPharmS, PhD) created Complete because she saw first-hand that topical skincare alone delivers temporary results. True skin transformation means treating the surface and the source.

Why I built COMPLETE

Your skin is an organ, the surface is only part of the picture

A personal realisation

I have always been drawn to how skin actually works. I spent my PhD years looking closely at how ingredients reach the skin and what makes a product genuinely effective. Your skin is an organ, and the surface is only part of the picture. Skin is a mirror of internal health, and what shows up on your face can be a signal of what is happening inside your body.

The connection others missed

The evidence is clear. Nutrient status, gut microbiome balance and cellular repair pathways all influence how skin ages, how brightly it reflects light, how prone it is to breakouts, and how well it recovers from stress. Much of what we see on our skin cannot be addressed by treating the surface alone.

The driving force behind Complete

Yet very few brands formulate this way. Topicals sit on one shelf, supplements on another, designed by different people for different outcomes. I wanted a brand that brought the two together properly, so every serum and every supplement worked synergistically toward the same goal.

Complete is the result. Clinical-grade serums paired with targeted supplements in synergistic systems, each formulated to address a specific skin concern from the inside and out.

Superior quality. Clean ingredients. Trusted Results

Every detail is considered, from the actives we choose to the packaging that protects them.

Advanced active ingredients

Concentrated actives without harsh irritation. HPR retinoid in place of traditional retinol, 20% stable vitamin C, 10% azelaic acid, and 10g dual vegan collagen at the full clinical dose.

Airless pump technology

Every serum uses airless pump packaging to prevent oxidation and contamination, so the actives keep their potency from the first use to the last drop.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Complete by Dr SCS different?

We are the first brand to pair a clinical-grade serum with a targeted supplement for the same skin concern. In our trials, 81% of Radiance participants agreed the combination was superior to single products. The serum treats the surface. The supplement treats the source. Together they deliver results neither can achieve alone.

Do I need both the serum and the supplement?

Each works on its own, but they are designed to be more effective together. The skin barrier limits how much topical ingredients can penetrate. The supplement bypasses it entirely, delivering nutrients directly to your cells. Start with one and add the other when you are ready.

How long before I see results?

Our systems are generally compatible with most prescription treatments, but we always recommend consulting your dermatologist or healthcare provider before combining with prescription medications. Our gentle formulations are designed to work synergistically without causing irritation, but professional guidance ensures optimal results and safety for your specific skin concerns.

Is it safe during pregnancy?

Clarify and Radiance are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Protect contains HPR retinoid which is not recommended during pregnancy. We recommend the Radiance system as an alternative. Always consult your healthcare provider.

Can I use two systems together?

Yes. Use different serums at different times of day and take both supplements daily. Many customers pair Clarify with Protect or Clarify with Radiance.

Where are the products made?

Formulated in the UK to UK and EU regulatory standards. Independently tested by ISO-accredited research organisations. All products are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and allergen-free.
