Dr Brendan Khong

If you’ve ever met Dr Brendan Khong, you’ll know one thing immediately: his skin is immaculate. Glassy, poreless, somehow both glowing and calm at the same time. People want what he has. Unsurprisingly, he works hard for it. A rising name on London’s aesthetics scene, Dr Khong combines serious medical credentials with a meticulous approach to skincare that’s built around one principle: consistency.

At his new clinic on Pall Mall, clients come for everything from Aerolase Neo Elite laser to mesotox, but even the most high-tech in-clinic treatment starts with the same baseline: what’s going on with your skin at home. That’s where Get Harley comes in.

Khong first discovered the skincare concierge platform through colleagues. Just a few months into launching his clinic, he decided to integrate it into his practice. He liked the fact that he wasn’t restricted to one brand. Instead, he could handpick products across a range of lines and create genuinely bespoke routines. He also didn’t have to keep anything in stock, which helped streamline the clinic without compromising on service. For a doctor who sees patients across the UK and internationally, it’s a no-brainer.

I’ve been treated by Khong myself, including Aerolase laser (more on that to come), and have gone through the Get Harley process first-hand. After a full consultation, he prescribed a line-up of products tailored to my skin goals. I placed the order through the platform, and a few days later, a beautifully presented box arrived at my door. No guesswork. No intimidating labels. Just clear instructions on exactly when and how to use each product. If, like me, you’ve ever stood frozen in your bathroom wondering whether your serum goes before or after your moisturiser, this part is a game-changer. Each product in your personalised account is tagged with AM, PM or both, and everything is sequenced for you.

As someone who genuinely cares about long-term skin health, Khong checks in regularly, reviews your progress, and updates your plan as needed. “Everyone’s skin changes with time due to so many factors,” he says. “Being able to adjust a routine in a few clicks means I can always recommend what’s best for their skin at that moment.”

Khong also works with patients all over the world, so the platform’s international shipping has become a quiet lifeline for his global following. It means no client is left hanging, and no recommendation sits unread on a post-it note. Everything is ordered directly through your custom link.

Right now, he’s particularly enthusiastic about professional South Korean brands Leze and Civasan. He’s been using them for the past year and rates them for both ingredients and texture. Personal favourites include Leze’s GSH Cream, which blends glutathione with niacinamide, and their Hydrating SPF 50. He’s a stickler for sunscreen, and I am now a daily user of the Leze SPF. Civasan’s Cellular Mess Cream is another product he often recommends to clients chasing hydration with a light, velvety finish.

Alongside these, Khong regularly reaches for formulas from Skinbetter Science and Revision Skincare. With access to a wide range of brands, he’s able to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach. “Patients have so many different needs, and having all these options makes it easier for me to take out the guesswork for them,” he says.

It’s not just patients who benefit. Get Harley has also made running his clinic smoother behind the scenes. It removes the need to carry physical stock, and the online portal is quick to update. “If I want to add or remove a product, it just takes a few clicks,” he says. For someone juggling a packed appointment diary, research, and speaking engagements, it saves time without compromising care.

For all the technology and tailoring, what matters most to Khong is that people stick to their routines. “Not having a good skincare routine is like going to the dentist without brushing your teeth or flossing in between visits,” he says. He’s not wrong. You wouldn’t expect a hygienist to fix a year of neglect with a 20-minute clean. And no aesthetic treatment, no matter how advanced, will compensate for bad habits at home.

Luckily, Get Harley makes it almost impossible to get it wrong. That’s part of what makes it such a smart fit for Khong’s practice. Patients feel looked after, and results speak for themselves.

And yes, if you’re wondering, his skin really does look that good in real life.
