Our Story
Founded by Elaine Thornhill
Elaine Thornhill has been caring for people’s skin since 1974.
A respected Harley Street Skin Specialist, Elaine continues to perform advanced skin treatments in Harley Street and works with FRCS surgeons as part of the cosmetic and restorative care she provides.
Elaine has cared for so many people for decades, often going on to care for their families and friends through personal recommendation. Those long-standing relationships have been built on trust, personal care and a commitment to achieving natural-looking results.
Throughout her career, Elaine has seen how much the way people feel about their skin can affect their confidence and wellbeing. Helping someone improve the appearance and condition of their skin can mean far more than the visible result alone.
That belief, that healthy-looking skin can help people feel more confident about themselves, has always been at the heart of Elaine’s work.
How Regentiv Began
In 1997, after more than twenty years of working directly with people’s skin, Elaine created Regentiv.
Through her work performing advanced skin treatments, she had seen first-hand that professional treatment was only part of caring for the skin. What people used at home, every day, mattered too.
Regentiv was created to provide skincare that could make a real difference to the way the skin looked and felt, support it between treatments and provide effective daily care for the years ahead.
That belief became Regentiv.
Specialist Skincare, Developed from Experience
From the beginning, Regentiv has been guided by Elaine’s practical understanding of skin and the needs she has seen throughout her career.
Each preparation is made in Devon by the same laboratory that made Regentiv’s very first products.
We use established active ingredients alongside carefully selected botanical extracts, with formulations created to deliver visible results and support healthy-looking skin.
The Regentiv range has grown to care for a wide variety of skin concerns, from the visible signs of ageing and blemish-prone skin to sensitivity, pigmentation and skin requiring additional care following cosmetic procedures.
Skincare for Every Day
Professional treatments have always been just one part of Elaine’s approach to skin. What you do every day matters too.
Elaine has always believed that looking after your skin is not about occasional intervention or continually changing what you use. Skin responds to continuity.
The right preparations, used regularly and with purpose, can make a lasting difference to the way your skin looks and feels over time.
A good skincare routine does not need to be complicated. It needs to be right for your skin and used consistently.
Our skincare advisors are always here to help you choose the Regentiv preparations that best suit your skin and create a routine that is simple to follow and easy to maintain.
As your skin’s needs change through life, and as advances in skincare allow us to refine our preparations, Regentiv continues to develop while remaining true to the principles on which it was founded.
Nearly thirty years later, that same experience and philosophy remain at the heart of Regentiv: effective skincare, specialist knowledge and the belief that helping people feel happier and more confident in their skin can make a meaningful difference to their lives.
