Her excuse will be that she is fully vaccinated...! But the rules never applied to her.

God, I am sorry. I've tried to restrain myself and be kind. We all have bad skin days/weeks/months. Some of us are lucky enough to just have hormonal spots and others are unfortunate enough to suffer from long term, chronic skin conditions.
Laura looks to have pretty standard skin. Please correct me, I may have missed stories etc., but I'm not aware she has any major skin issues (i.e. aggressive and chronic).
Her skin is a really poor advertisement for a doctor advertising a skin clinic. She has a very bad under eye and around eye area for a 39 year old. Consistently. As I have said....we all have shite weeks. But her skin would never inspire me to book an appointment.
As we all know, she's a fairly recently qualified GP. She is not a Consultant Dermatologist as I feel she almost portrays herself online. Does she even have specialist skin qualifications? Purely based on the fact that she only qualified so recently and thus has little specialist experience, I find it really odd that people would go to her for skin advice, period.
Just to say, I don't think you necessarily need to be a doctor to be a skincare expert. I have an amazing facialist in Dublin who used to be a biomedical scientist so she knows her tit re ingredients. And I'm booked to see someone for Profhilo who is a dentist who then went back and did two Masters in skin and facial aesthetics. And they are both amazing advertisements for their businesses. I haven't had anything done but facials but I would go to someone like that if I wanted something more invasive. (That's not to say I'm in favour of random dentists with no training doing Botox btw.) I just feel that surely she would wait to get her skin to a really comment worthy state (positive) before you would launch yourself as an online skin guru.
I used to be a medical secretary for a Consultant Dermatologist, in Dublin, for two years, so I guess I find her conduct fascinating. She would not have remained employed under my boss!!!

A local GP specialised in dermatology and her akin is absolutely to die for...Dr Laura on the other hand needs to start practising what she preaches sells...
Exactly; sorry, I didn't mean to diminish GPs who do specialise in Dermatology. But she is just in it for money. But I'd be embarrassed to be trying to sell stuff with my skin looking so.....blah.
Get a grip, it’s handles for a cupboard!!!!! 
I’ve tried to stay out of this thread as Laura irritates me so much. I can’t even hate follow her. As a fellow doctor, I find her (and many other doctor “influencers”) infuriating!!! She’s on the border of bringing the profession into disrepute. The big wigs in medicine do not look fondly on these doctors at all even the likes of Dr Ranj tbh
Why is she prescribing herself tretinoin? Surely it’s prescription strength for a reason - she doesn’t have amazing skin but she doesn’t seem to have any particular problems either? Seems unethical to me to be telling is she is using it - if we went to our gps when similar skin to her would they prescribe it?
She’s trying to sell herself as this skin specialist GP so
That she can prescribe you expensive stuff for her online €75 consult fee!! (Plenty online Irish gp services from €35-60) anyway not only can she prescribe it but she can dispatch your order directly. So your costs could be €75-300 and some of this is even online!!! I see lately from
Bits she showed I think she will go down the Botox line- as in giving Botox herself to people. Such a shame to be thinking of ways to cash IN on people as opposed to being a caring GP

Exactly! That’s the thing. You should *not* self-prescribe ANYTHING unless you are about to die. Honestly. This is why I can’t follow her. My blood boils. She’s setting a bad name for the profession.
Glad you agree!
I’ve said it a million times here —- she doesn’t have good skin. As in her skin does not look good at all . I can’t understand with all the products she has access to . She is is haggard and rough looking . She looks about 48 not 33 . She is no way an advertisement and I wouldn’t go to her in a fit . It’s like everything else she does it’s half arsed and false
She is 39 I think but the point still stands
Yes thank you !! In my frantic typing I needed to put a number !
but you get me she looks way older !I’m finding it very hard to watch her at the moment. I find her talking about the vaccine a bit too much. I get she’s a doctor but it’s very in your face kind of thing. She’s definitely someone I wouldn’t take any advice from.
There are sooo many I follow with amazing skin who are not doctors and dont work in beauty and don't sell skincare. I'd pay them before I'd pay her for a skin consult. I wonder will she reck herself by doing something extreme to peel back the years.
I think she is trying to make herself sound smart and relevant.... I don't know she doesn't strike me as someone who is a doctor I would go to for anything she is meant to be a general practitioner but I wouldn't be so confident in her ability
Like an inexperienced locum.
There's too much emphasis on skincare sometimes which is essential no doubt.. But good skin definitely starts from within too, like a healthy balanced diet, no smoking, moderate alcohol intake and lots of water.. That gets lost in the buy millions of skincare products narrative alot of these ppl eschew...
An additional child in the pictures of the baby’s birthday. I know a fully vaccinated household can mix with an unvaccinated house but the child is hardly from the same household as Laura’s parents. And Ross is hardly vaccinated yet so they themselves wouldn’t qualify as a fully vaccinated household. So if Laura’s parents are the vaccinated household, Laura’s is the unvaccinated household, where does the unknown child fit in?!
