Our history

Dr Meno/pause is the brainchild of founders, Dom & Vikki. We sought to create an affordable, accessible menopause skincare and haircare range, with products boasting clear messaging, not to mention powerful ingredients to target the most common skin and hair issues experienced during menopause. With around 15.5 million menopausal women in the UK, we’ve been surprised and disappointed by the lack of specific menopause products on the market. We’re here to change that!

With over 30 years’ industry experience between us, Dom as a Manufacturer and Importer and Vikki as a former Vogue Beauty Editor and Consultant, we’ve combined our expertise to develop a brand that addresses the concerns of menopausal women as they navigate changes in their skin and hair. We know that ‘menopausal’ isn’t a skin type, but we’ve identified the most common issues, and working with a leading dermatologist, we’ve hand-picked ingredients to combat such complaints as: dry skin; pigmentation; hot flushes and thinning hair, whilst being mindful of potential irritants. We’ve worked hard to keep our products from being confusing or intimidating – each one outlines the symptoms it treats and the beauty benefits offered. Our pledge is to remain affordable, and to always explain to you, our customer, just how our products can help you. And we guarantee that our formulas feel and smell as luxurious as competing premium brands.

We’re delighted and proud to be MTick accredited – this means our products carry this trusted ‘Menopause Friendly’ symbol, which empowers you to search, source and shop products with confidence.
