Asian skincare is some of the most coveted in the world – and for good reason – which is why we were keen to check out LAPO London
Newly opened in the heart of Fitzrovia, LAPO is the UK’s first outpost of the cult Asian skincare brand that started life in Shanghai. LAPO has built a loyal following for its fusion of cutting-edge skincare technology and time-honoured Asian beauty rituals.
We went to test drive the signature 12-step custom facial with high-tech 3D skin analysis. The treatment kicks off with said skin analysis, which maps your face – we’re talking about a deep dive into hydration levels, pigmentation, congestion, the whole shebang. From there, LAPO’s expert practitioners design a bespoke treatment plan using the brand’s proprietary system, which can create over 700 personalised skincare combinations. Whether you’re battling breakouts, dehydration, dullness, or all of the above, you’ll get a solution that’s tailored, not templated.
What follows is a skincare journey that feels part-tech lab, part-spa sanctuary. You’ll be treated to the likes of ultrasonic scrubbing, oxygen infusion, nano-mist steaming, LED therapy, and microcurrent brightening – each step selected just for your skin’s needs. The treatment also includes classic steam and manual extractions, a gentle acid peel, and deeply soothing massage across the face, neck, décolleté, arms, hands, and scalp. It’s as results-driven as it is relaxing (yes we did snooze).
Expect to leave with skin that feels renewed, hydrated, and noticeably clearer, without any downtime. LAPO’s facial doesn’t just deliver a glow; it strengthens the skin barrier, improves circulation, decongests pores, and softens fine lines for that elusive dewy finish.
At £225 for the Signature Custom Facial, it’s not cheap but it’s an investment, a full-on skin MOT, expertly tailored from the first hello to the final serum.
