I'm Dr. Usman Qureshi, a UK doctor with 22 years' medical experience. I cut through skincare hype and show you what actually works for your skin — especially after 40.
I've spent more than two decades in medicine, and much of it working with faces and skin every day. In my Glasgow clinic, Luxe Skin by Dr Q, I see the same story again and again: people who've spent a fortune on products that were never going to work for them.
DR Q SKINCARE is where I share what I've learned — clear, honest, evidence-led advice, so you can make better decisions for your skin.
— Dr. Usman Qureshi
Skincare should be judged by what it does for your skin, not by how it's marketed. Three principles guide everything I teach.
A long list of trendy ingredients means nothing. What matters is the right actives, at the right strength, used consistently.
If the science doesn't support it, I won't recommend it. You'll always know what something does and why it's worth your time.
Mature skin has different needs. Tone, texture, firmness and dark spots all need a smarter routine, not more products.
"The best skincare routine isn't the most expensive one. It's the one built on evidence, used every day, for long enough to work."— Dr. Usman Qureshi
Sun spots, age spots and post-blemish marks — what fades them and what doesn't.
How skin changes after 40, and the habits that make a visible difference.
Vitamin C, niacinamide, retinoids, peptides — which are worth it and how to use them.
A simple routine you'll actually stick to, in the right order.
Why SPF is your best anti-ageing step — and how to apply it properly.
The claims and habits that waste your time and money.
Everything I share comes from what I see in clinic every week. At Luxe Skin by Dr Q in Glasgow, I personally run every consultation, and I'll tell patients honestly when a treatment isn't right for them.
