The Advanced Lauric Acid Cleanser by Dr. Lara Devgan is a barrier-respecting cleanser that targets excess oil, congestion, impurities and imbalance, combining Lauric Acid with Niacinamide, soothing botanicals and moisture-binding humectants to leave the complexion exceptionally clean, balanced and comfortably hydrated.

Lauric Acid and Niacinamide form the cleanser's purifying and balancing complex. Lauric Acid effectively dissolves excess sebum, makeup and daily impurities while helping to minimise congestion through its natural antimicrobial properties. Niacinamide complements this action by regulating excess oil, refining the appearance of pores and strengthening the skin barrier, promoting a clearer, healthier and more resilient complexion with every cleanse.

Glycerin and Aloe Vera Leaf Juice provide lasting hydration and comfort throughout the cleansing process. Glycerin attracts and retains moisture within the skin to help prevent dehydration, while Aloe Vera replenishes hydration, calms irritation and supports the skin's natural repair processes with its rich concentration of polysaccharides, vitamins and antioxidants.

Allantoin delivers soothing and restorative benefits, helping to calm visible redness, reduce discomfort and reinforce the skin barrier. By supporting the skin's natural healing response, it ensures the complexion feels soft, balanced and refreshed after cleansing rather than stripped or tight.

About the Brand
Brand logo
Born from Dr. Lara Devgan’s celebrated Park Avenue plastic surgery practice, Scientific Beauty brings the principles of aesthetic medicine home. Think understated elegance, surgical precision and serious skin science, created to refine rather than reinvent, for skin that appears exceptionally polished, luminous and healthy.

Yale-educated and Johns Hopkins-trained, Dr. Lara Devgan is one of New York’s most renowned board-certified plastic surgeons, celebrated for an approach where art meets anatomy. Her philosophy is beautifully restrained: enhance what is naturally there, respect proportion and pursue results so refined they appear effortless. Scientific Beauty is that same philosophy, translated into skincare.

This is skincare that doesn't whisper when it comes to actives. The Vitamin C+B+E Ferulic Serum delivers an extraordinary 25% Vitamin C, while advanced formulas feature retinal, bakuchiol, peptides, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and next-generation antioxidants. Potent concentrations meet medical-grade precision in formulas engineered for brighter, firmer, smoother and more resilient skin.

  • - + Anti-Bacterial
  • - + Sebum Regulating (Mattifying)
  • - + Skin Barrier Strengthening
  • - + Purifying
  • - + Anti-Inflammatory
  • - + Hydrating
  • - + Anti-Wrinkle
  • - + Plumping
  • - + Anti-Redness
Anti-Bacterial

Anti-bacterial action targets and inhibits the growth of bacteria on your skin's surface. Anti-bacterial ingredients work by disrupting essential bacterial processes like cell wall synthesis or protein production, reducing the risk of skin infections and inflammation. They are especially effective for treating acne by controlling the acne-causing bacteria known as Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes). This anti-bacterial action helps diminish imperfections, prevent new breakouts, and reduce irritation, giving you clearer, healthier skin.

Sebum Regulating (Mattifying)

Sebum regulation involves normalising oil production in your sebaceous glands to reduce shine, oiliness and breakouts, restoring your skin's natural balance. Overactive sebaceous glands can be triggered by internal factors like genetics, hormonal changes and stress, as well as external factors such as using stripping or overly active skincare, climate, pollution and diet. Excessive sebum production can lead to enlarged pores, acne and an oily, shiny appearance. Effective sebum regulation means using skincare products that balance oil levels without over-drying your skin, helping you achieve a clearer, more matte complexion.

Skin Barrier Strengthening

Strengthening your skin barrier involves replenishing the key elements in the top layer of your skin (stratum corneum), leading to a stronger and healthier barrier. These essential elements include lipids (ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol) and Natural Moisturizing Factors (amino acids, hyaluronic acid, etc.). Various factors, such as incorrect skincare use, seasonal changes, and aesthetic treatments, can damage your skin barrier. When this happens, your skin loses excess water through Trans Epidermal Water Loss (T.E.W.L) and becomes less capable of defending against environmental stressors, resulting in dryness, sensitivity, and irritation.

A healthy skin barrier is crucial for overall skin health as it helps prevent hydration loss, protects against environmental damage, and reduces the risk of skin conditions like eczema and acne. By strengthening your skin barrier, you ensure your skin remains well-hydrated, resilient, and protected.

Purifying

Purifying skincare is designed to deeply cleanse and decongest the skin by targeting excess oil at its source—within the pores. Rather than simply removing surface shine, these formulations work to dissolve and dislodge sebum, debris, and impurities trapped inside the pore lining, helping to prevent congestion, blackheads, and breakouts. Actives such as exfoliating acids and oil-regulating ingredients penetrate into the pore to effectively “strip out” excess oil, restoring clarity and refining skin texture. By clearing buildup from within, purifying treatments leave the skin feeling exceptionally clean, balanced and visibly smoother.

Anti-Inflammatory

Anti-Inflammatory skincare soothes, heal, and balance your skin, the targeted actives are designed to reduce inflammation. Inflammation is your body's natural response to injury or irritation, but continuous inflammation can lead to troublesome skin conditions like acne, rosacea, or eczema. Our anti-inflammatory skincare solutions work to soothe and calm your skin, reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort to provide much-needed relief. By strengthening your skin's barrier, these products help protect against further irritation and damage. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory actives support your skin's natural healing processes, leading to a more balanced and resilient complexion.

Hydrating

Hydration is a fundamental part of healthy skincare, focusing on maintaining and restoring the skin’s water content. Well-hydrated skin appears plump, smooth and radiant, while dehydration can lead to dullness, tightness, fine lines and increased sensitivity.
Hydrating the skin can work through a fascinating mix of ingredients with different roles. Humectants like hyaluronic acid and glycerin act like water magnets, pulling water into the skin to instantly plump and smooth, while Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs)—such as urea, amino acids and sodium PCA—mimic the skin’s own hydration system, helping it hold onto water and stay balanced from within.
Adding humectants like hyaluronic acid to your routine will restore your skin's healthy glow, minimize fine lines, and provide a plumping effect.

Anti-Wrinkle

Anti-wrinkle skincare is focused on both preventing and visibly reducing the formation of lines by targeting the structural and dynamic causes of wrinkles within the skin. Fine lines and deeper wrinkles develop as collagen and elastin decline, cell turnover slows and repeated facial movements create creases that become etched over time. Advanced formulations address these mechanisms through a combination of elastin-stimulating actives, smoothing peptides that help relax the appearance of expression lines, and deeply hydrating ingredients that plump the skin from within. By reinforcing the skin’s architecture while softening surface contractions and improving elasticity, anti-wrinkle skincare delivers a visibly smoother complexion.

Plumping

Plumping involves using active ingredients to boost the production of key structural components like collagen, the dermal-epidermal junction and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), giving your skin more volume and density. Collagen provides structural support and firmness, while the dermal-epidermal junction, a thin connective layer, ensures smooth, wrinkle-free skin by facilitating cell communication. GAGs, like hyaluronic acid, keep your skin hydrated and plump from within. By stimulating these components, active ingredients help restore your skin's plumpness and radiance.

Anti-Redness

Anti-Redness skincare is all about reducing and preventing facial or body redness, which can result from irritation, skin conditions, compromised barriers, and hormonal changes. A targeted approach with multiple strategies works best for tackling redness. Anti-Redness formulations include active ingredients that soothe and strengthen your skin barrier. Their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties calm inflammation and protect against environmental irritants. Additionally, these ingredients have vasoconstrictive properties, meaning they reduce blood vessel dilation to lessen redness. Together, these actions help achieve a more even-toned, balanced complexion that's less prone to redness flare-ups.

Lauric Acid

Lauric Acid is a purifying fatty acid naturally found in coconut oil, renowned for its cleansing and antimicrobial properties. It dissolves excess sebum, removes impurities and reduces build-up that can contribute to congestion, while maintaining the skin's natural barrier. By effectively cleansing without excessively stripping the skin, Lauric Acid leaves the complexion feeling balanced, refreshed and comfortable,

Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)

Vitamin B3 also known as Niacinamide, is versatile and highly effective ingredient with many benefits. It helps to strengthen skin barrier function and increase water retention by increasing natural ceramide production. It's anti-inflammatory and sebum regulating properties soothe, repair and balance irritated, weakened and acne prone skins. Niacinamide is also a potent antioxidant with protective and brightening properties helping to restore skin's natural glow.

Allantoin

Allantoin is a natural plant derivative, widely used in skincare for its soothing, hydrating, softening and healing properties.

Glycerin

Glycerin is a potent humectant commonly used in skincare for its powerful hydrating properties. It works by attracting water molecules from the atmosphere and retaining them in the deeper layers of the skin, effectively boosting hydration reservoir. This helps to plump up the skin, resulting in reduced dehydration lines and a soft, supple complexion.

Aloe Leaf Juice

Aloe Leaf Juice has a long history of use for its calming, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating effects on the skin. Its versatility makes it suitable for all skin types, especially beneficial for dehydrated, weakened, and sensitive skin.

Aloe Leaf Juice

Aloe Leaf Juice, extracted from the inner gel of Aloe Barbadensis, is a highly bioactive botanical revered for its regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties. Clinically shown to accelerate wound healing and reduce irritation, it addresses key biological processes involved in skin inflammation and barrier dysfunction.

Aloe is rich in polysaccharides, amino acids, and essential micronutrients that support tissue repair and moisture retention. These compounds help reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), reinforce the skin’s natural barrier, and soothe symptoms of reactivity, such as redness, stinging, and dryness.

At a cellular level, Aloe modulates pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhances fibroblast activity, contributing to faster recovery of compromised skin. Its antioxidant profile further protects against oxidative stress and environmental aggressors.

Traditionally used in medicinal and dermatological applications, Aloe’s therapeutic value has been substantiated by modern clinical research. When formulated at effective concentrations, it delivers immediate relief to sensitised skin while promoting long-term hydration, comfort, and balance.
