The Skincare That Finally Let Her Go Makeup-Free
Confidence doesn’t come from covering up — it comes from feeling good in your own skin.
When a Belfast Live journalist visited Woodford Medical on the Lisburn Road to try Vital Assist Skincare, she discovered something more than smoother, brighter skin — she found the freedom to step out makeup-free for the first time. Her story captures exactly what Vital Assist was created for: advanced science that restores the skin barrier, stimulates natural collagen and rebuilds self-confidence from within.
A lifelong habit of wearing makeup
“I don’t think there’s been a time in my life, unless I’ve been ill and had to attend the hospital or the doctors, when I haven’t worn some form of makeup,” she admitted.
Like so many women, she admired those who enjoyed makeup-free days but never believed her skin looked good enough to do the same — not even at the gym. “I’d always wear some form of tinted moisturiser or a little face tan as I hate how pale I am,” she wrote.
But after discovering Vital Assist Skincare, that changed.
Trust, simplicity and science
Having sensitive skin made her cautious about switching products. What convinced her to try Vital Assist was the combination of trusted expertise and scientific clarity.
“I’ve been to Woodford Medical on the Lisburn Road so I trust their recommendations. When Dr Mervyn Patterson explained the science behind the skincare and how simple the regime was, I was excited to give it a go.”
Vital Assist was developed to simplify advanced skincare. It focuses on restoring and protecting the skin barrier while supporting the natural collagen framework that keeps skin firm, hydrated and radiant.
At its core, the system uses DNA-proven peptides, next-generation retinoids, vitamins, antioxidants, and barrier-repairing lipids to create genuine change where it matters most — deep within the dermal-epidermal junction, where skin resilience begins.
Supporting collagen and youthful strength
For many, collagen can feel like a confusing topic — from supplements to serums, the options can be overwhelming. The journalist found Vital Assist refreshing in its simplicity:
“I’d heard all about collagen and supplements, and to be honest, it can be a little overwhelming, but Vital Assist does the hard work for you. It’s designed to combat the natural decline in skin thickness and collagen levels, leaving you with smoother skin with fewer lines while also giving you that youthful glow.”
That’s precisely the principle behind Vital Assist — science simplified. By targeting key collagen types (III, IV and VII), the formulas help strengthen the “collagen weave” that anchors the upper skin layers, improving firmness and elasticity over time.
A routine that fits real life
Another revelation was just how easy the routine was to follow.
“There was no need for a bag full of creams that I didn’t understand,” she said. “This was simply a cleanser for morning and night, moisturiser and serum in the morning, and renewal cream and serum at night. A little goes a long way with the products as well, so despite being on the higher end price-wise, they will last for months.”
That simplicity — paired with measurable, clinical results — is why Vital Assist has become a trusted choice for patients looking for high-performance skincare that fits into real life.
The confidence to go makeup-free
By the end of her trial, the journalist noticed a difference that went beyond smoother texture and brighter tone — it changed how she felt about her skin.
“For the first time in my life, I felt confident enough to go makeup-free.”
For us, that sentence says everything. Vital Assist isn’t about chasing perfection — it’s about rebuilding skin health so that confidence follows naturally.
Science you can see. Confidence you can feel.
Every great skincare journey starts with trust — in the science, in your practitioner, and ultimately, in your own skin. Vital Assist was created to make that trust easy: formulas verified by advanced DNA micro-assays, peptides that rebuild the skin’s structure, and modern retinoids that renew without irritation.
Whether you’re repairing years of damage or maintaining long-term skin vitality, the goal is the same — to feel confident enough to show your true skin, no filter required.
