Frequently asked about Skin Care
What's the best sunscreen for Kenyan weather?
For Kenya you want broad-spectrum SPF 50+ with strong UVA protection because Nairobi sits at altitude and UV is intense year-round. La Roche-Posay Anthelios, Bioderma Photoderm and CeraVe Hydrating SPF 50 are pharmacist favourites. Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors.
How do I build a skincare routine for sensitive Kenyan skin?
Start with three steps: a gentle non-foaming cleanser, a barrier-repair moisturiser with ceramides or panthenol, and a high-SPF sunscreen every morning. Avoid strong actives at first — introduce niacinamide or vitamin C only after your barrier is calm. Speak to our pharmacist for a personal routine.
Are CeraVe, La Roche-Posay and Avene genuine in Kenya?
Yes — Our Mall Pharmacy sources dermo-cosmetic brands from authorised distributors and is licensed by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board of Kenya. We never stock parallel imports of beauty products.
Can I order skincare for delivery to Mombasa or Kisumu?
Yes. We ship skin care products countrywide via courier. Delivery typically takes 1–3 business days outside Nairobi; the courier's published rate applies and is confirmed before dispatch.
Do you stock prescription skincare like tretinoin or hydroquinone?
Yes, but they are dispensed only against a valid prescription from a registered Kenyan dermatologist or doctor. Send the prescription on WhatsApp and our pharmacist will confirm stock and the safest concentration for your skin.
