One brand for the whole journey — the medical programme that helps you lose the weight, and the companion shop that helps your skin and body thrive through it.
Check out our programmeThey call it "GLP-1 face."
We call it unfinished business.
GLP-1 medications transformed millions of bodies. But rapid fat loss in the cheeks, temples and jawline leaves skin hollow, crepey and deflated — collagen hasn't caught up, and hyaluronic reserves are depleted.
Your skin needs time and the right actives to adapt. Karespot was formulated for exactly this moment — not to reverse your progress, but to restore your skin's resilience.

What GLP-1 medications actually do to your skin
GLP-1 agonists are transformative — but they change more than your weight. Click each effect to see the published science.
GLP-1 receptors are expressed on dermal white adipose tissue (DWAT), which provides the structural scaffolding beneath the skin. Rapid fat depletion collapses this support — causing hollow cheeks, deepened nasolabial folds, sunken temples.
peer-reviewed
GLP-1 slows gastric emptying and significantly reduces overall food intake. Over 60% of users consume below estimated requirements for calcium and iron.
peer-reviewed
The stratum corneum relies on ceramides and fatty acids to function as a lipid seal. Rapid fat loss strips the skin of these essential lipids — weakening the barrier, accelerating TEWL.
peer-reviewed
GLP-1 receptors on adipose-derived stem cells suppress cytokine signalling and reduce collagen output from fibroblasts.
peer-reviewed
Without adequate protein intake and resistance exercise, 20–40% of GLP-1-driven weight loss can come from lean body mass in some individuals.
peer-reviewed
Every one of these effects is directly addressable with the right targeted skincare. Ceramide-rich formulas repair the barrier. Hyaluronic acid rebuilds dermal moisture.
peer-reviewedFour needs of GLP-1 skin, one system
Every Karespot formula is engineered around the four shifts rapid weight loss creates in your skin.
Hydration
Replenish moisture deep in the dermal layers where GLP-1 skin runs chronically dry.
Elasticity
Restore the skin’s ability to spring back and resist crepey texture from volume loss.
Density
Rebuild fullness and a plumper, cushioned look at hollowed cheeks and temples.
Firmness
Tighten and tone sagging skin along the jawline, folds and under-chin area.
Each shift, peer-reviewed
Active ingredients mapped to published clinical evidence in dermal biology, matrix science, and barrier-function research. Swipe through each mechanism.
Deeply hydrates
Sodium hyaluronate's polyanionic structure retains up to 1,000x its weight in water, drawing moisture into deep dermal layers and measurably increasing viscoelasticity within 24 hours of first application.
Firms & tightens
Marine laminin-332 reinforces the dermal-epidermal junction while pullulan forms a mechanical film that contracts on drying, producing an immediate tensile lift at the jawline, cheeks, and temples.
Boosts density
Ceramides, squalane, and cocoa butter intercalate into depleted lipid lamellae, restoring the stratum corneum's lamellar bilayer architecture and reversing the TEWL-driven volume loss that accompanies rapid weight change.
Apply morning and evening to cleansed skin. Most users see visible improvement by week 4.

Frequently asked questions
GLP-1 face refers to the hollow, deflated look that can follow rapid GLP-1 weight loss. GLP-Kare is formulated to restore hydration, density, and firmness to counter exactly these effects.
GLP-1 medications reduce fat quickly, including the fat pads beneath the cheeks, temples and jawline that give the face its structure. Skin loses that support faster than collagen and elastin can adapt, so it can look hollow, crepey or loose. Slower cell turnover, a thinner lipid barrier and lower hyaluronic acid levels add to the effect.
For most people it is not permanent. Skin continues to remodel for months after weight stabilises, and consistent hydration, barrier repair and collagen-supporting actives help it adapt. Starting targeted skincare early in the course, before volume loss becomes visible, gives the best outcome.
Look for hyaluronic acid to rebuild dermal moisture, ceramides and squalane to repair the lipid barrier, niacinamide to support collagen and even tone, and firming actives such as marine laminin peptides and pullulan for visible lift. GLP-Kare combines all of these at clinical concentrations in one formula.
Usually not. Standard moisturisers sit on the surface and address dryness only, while GLP-1 skin also needs barrier lipids replaced, hyaluronic reserves rebuilt and firmness supported at the dermal level. A formula built for rapid weight loss targets all four needs: hydration, elasticity, density and firmness.
No. While formulated for GLP-1-affected skin, the hydration, barrier, and firming actives benefit anyone experiencing volume loss or skin laxity.
Ideally from the first week of your GLP-1 course, so barrier and hydration support are in place before fat loss shows on the face. If you are already mid-course or have finished, starting now still helps because skin keeps remodelling for months after weight stabilises.
Apply a small amount to cleansed face and neck morning and evening. It layers well with most routines: use it after water-based serums such as vitamin C, before sunscreen in the morning, and after retinol at night. If your skin is very sensitised, introduce retinol on alternate nights.
Most users report visible improvement from week 4 with twice-daily application, morning and night.
Yes. GLP-Kare is fragrance-free, paraben-free, and mineral-oil-free, formulated specifically for the sensitised skin common during GLP-1 journeys.
GLP-Kare was formulated by a dermatologist together with an Oxford biologist specifically for skin affected by GLP-1 weight loss. It was assessed in a 6-week user trial with 48 participants on a GLP-1 journey, in which 94% reported improved skin texture by week 4. Individual results may vary.
