When a cancer patient at Melbourne’s world-leading Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre was told to stop using a big-name global skincare brand, it wasn’t just a passing comment. It was a health decision. More than that, it was a powerful reminder of how much what we put on our skin matters, especially during cancer treatment.
Instead of suggesting another well-marketed brand or some trendy serum, her oncologist gave her a clear, confident recommendation: VIXIN Beauty.
“The only skincare I would recommend to patients during chemotherapy and radiotherapy.”
That’s not something you hear every day. But it speaks volumes.
Why oncologists are turning to VIXIN
We often forget our skin is our body’s largest organ, and during chemotherapy and radiotherapy, it can take a real hit. Redness, flakiness, sensitivity, even painful irritation… it’s not just uncomfortable, it’s distressing.
Medical experts are now more aware than ever that supporting the skin barrier is part of supporting the whole person. And that’s where VIXIN stands apart.
VIXIN Beauty’s All-In-One Apple Stem Cell Cream (yes, it’s as high-tech as it sounds) and its broader skin support range are free from nasties like parabens, retinol, synthetic fragrances, and known skin irritants. They’re packed with barrier-building ingredients, like marine actives, plant peptides and hydrating lipids. And they’re specially designed for skin under stress, including those undergoing active cancer treatment.
This isn’t a brand riding the wave of wellness – it’s leading the charge with science and sensitivity.
Real skincare for real people
VIXIN isn’t just about the label. Nor is it about celebrities or slick campaigns. It’s Australian made, cruelty-free, formulated and founded in Sydney, and recommended not by influencers, but by medical professionals.
People with ageing skin, perimenopausal skin, acne-prone skin – and now chemo-treated skin – are seeing real results without the risks. Because when your skin is already going through enough, the last thing you need is more irritation.
Kindness isn’t a marketing strategy – it’s the mission
Here’s what sets VIXIN apart: they don’t just care – they show up. VIXIN has been a proud charity partner of Bowel Cancer Australia for over eight years. But it’s not just about donations – it’s about direct support too. Their Kindness Krates are full-size VIXIN skincare boxes, lovingly packed and sent directly to patients in treatment, carers and family members, as well as oncology wards and women’s health units.
No hashtags, no hype – just heartfelt help, sent quietly and consistently.
Why it matters more than ever
Australia has one of the highest cancer rates in the world. And for many patients, the side effects of treatment are felt most keenly in the skin.
Yet too many beauty brands still use hormone disruptors, petrochemical fillers and harsh actives, while disguising it all with “green” packaging and celebrity endorsements.
VIXIN refuses to play that game. They’re not here to follow trends – they’re here to raise the standard. That’s why this is more than skincare. It’s radical self-care, backed by science, trusted by oncologists and built on purpose.
So whether you’re going through treatment, caring for someone who is, or just want skincare that actually cares, VIXIN might be the name you never knew you needed.
And now, you do.
