Lamelle

Few skincare brands manage to combine the rigour of medical science with the refinement of luxury quite like Lamelle Research Laboratories. Founded in South Africa in 2005 by Dr. Bradley Wagemaker and Tony De Barros, Lamelle has grown into one of the country’s most respected names in professional skincare, now proudly recognized with the 2025 Luxury Lifestyle Award for Best Luxury Beauty Brand in South Africa.

Lamelle was established with a vision to create skincare products that deliver real, visible results, grounded in science rather than marketing trends. From day one, the brand has prioritised research, innovation, and ethical formulation. Every product is developed using globally sourced, clinically proven ingredients and tailored to treat specific skin concerns such as pigmentation, acne, ageing, and sensitivity.

But Lamelle’s success is not just about what’s in the bottle. The company’s approach is deeply personal. Products are only available through trained skincare professionals—never over the counter or online without expert guidance. This ensures each client receives thoughtful, personalised recommendations that support long-term skin health.

Supporting this is Lamelle’s Skin Confidence Education Curriculum, a robust training program required of every clinic and professional who carries the brand. This emphasis on knowledge and skill ensures that each product is used effectively and safely, reinforcing Lamelle’s commitment to results and client care.

Beyond skincare, Lamelle is expanding its footprint into wellness with pharmaceutical-grade innovations in hair growth and reproductive health—offering holistic solutions that align with their core mission: to enhance confidence, quality of life, and well-being.

As Lamelle prepares for continued growth into global markets, including the USA, Australia, and Europe, it remains grounded in the values that have made it a trusted name in South Africa—scientific integrity, professional trust, and a genuine care for the people who use their products.

Lamelle is not simply changing skin; it’s changing how people feel in their skin. That, perhaps, is the true measure of luxury.
