Get a Skincare Routine Right The First Time - The Story of Puriste Skincare
We get it. You’ve tried everything—drugstore brands, luxury creams, even the ones your dermatologist recommended—and somehow, your skin still reacts. Maybe it burns. Maybe it gets red, flaky, or breaks out in spots. Maybe you’re just tired of wasting money on skincare that doesn’t work.
That’s exactly why Puriste exists.
A Skincare Line Born From Experience, Not Marketing
Dr. Sylvia Garnis-Jones, a dermatologist with over 25 years of experience, spent her career treating people with severely sensitive, reactive skin. She saw firsthand how the skincare industry was failing them, filling products with cheap ingredients, unnecessary irritants, and empty promises that did nothing but inflame and damage their skin barrier.
She didn’t just see this in her patients—she saw it in her own daughter, Saundra Jones.
Saundra’s Story: A Lifetime of Sensitive Skin—Without the Struggle
From a young age, Saundra struggled with severe skin allergies. She was allergic to the sun, breaking out in a rash anytime she spent too long outside. She couldn’t wear fake jewelry because her skin reacted to metal. Her friends were constantly trying product after product, hoping to find something that wouldn’t sting, break them out, or make their skin peel.
But Saundra? She never had to go through that.
Her mother, Dr. Garnis-Jones, gave her Puriste.
And now, approaching 40 years old, she still swears by it as the best thing she has ever put on her skin. While so many people have spent years damaging their skin with bad products, bad advice, and bad formulations, Saundra’s skin has thrived—because she’s never had to settle for skincare that wasn’t designed to work.
Puriste was created for people like Saundra—and people like you.
The Truth About the Skincare Industry
If you’ve ever had a moisturizer that stings, a facial cleanser that leaves your skin feeling tight, or an exfoliant that makes your face peel off in sheets, you need to ask yourself: why is this happening?
Because the skincare industry doesn’t care about your skin—it cares about profits.
🔴 Most skincare products are designed for profit, not skin health. Brands pack their formulas with cheap synthetic fillers, harsh preservatives, and irritating fragrances that do nothing but damage your skin barrier and keep you in a cycle of needing more products.
🔴 The 60% "sensitive skin" statistic isn’t genetic—it’s a symptom of bad skincare. The reason so many people believe they have sensitive skin is because they’ve been using irritating, ineffective products their whole lives. If you’re constantly dealing with redness, dry patches, irritation, or stinging, it’s not just your skin type—it’s what’s being sold to you.
🔴 Dermatologist-recommended doesn’t mean dermatologist-created. We’ve worked with many dermatologists in our clinic, and most of them will promote whatever skincare brands are pushed on them by sales reps. They don’t always check the formulas, and they’re often given huge incentives to recommend mass-market brands that aren’t actually designed with your best interest in mind.
🔴 Luxury skincare isn’t better—it’s just better marketed. Brands like La Mer, Kiehl’s, and Drunk Elephant charge a premium price for products filled with the same irritating emulsifiers, perfumes, and preservatives that drugstore brands use.
🔴 "Clean beauty" brands are often just as bad. They remove preservatives and synthetic stabilizers but don’t replace them with clinically effective alternatives, leaving you with unstable, ineffective products that can cause just as much irritation.
That’s why we created Puriste—skincare that actually works, without the lies.
What Makes Puriste Different?
We don’t play the same game as other skincare brands.
- Created by a dermatologist, not a marketing team. Every product was formulated by Dr. Sylvia Garnis-Jones using clinical-grade ingredients, not filler-packed formulations designed to maximize profit.
- No gimmicks, no misleading “miracle” ingredients. We don’t chase skincare trends. Puriste is designed to repair your skin, not irritate it.
- Tried, tested, and trusted. Our products have been used by thousands of real patients, and not a single product has ever been returned due to a reaction.
- Designed for sensitive, dry, and reactive skin. If your skin stings, burns, breaks out, or constantly feels dry, our products were made specifically for you.
- Exclusive to Dermatologie Solutions. You won’t find Puriste in drugstores or big-box beauty retailers because we refuse to be part of the mass-market skincare problem.
