A review in Clinics in Dermatology discusses access, affordability, informed consent, product quality and prescribing responsibilities as GLP-1 medicines are explored in skin care. It is an ethical and evidence discussion, not a new trial demonstrating effectiveness for a skin condition. International prescribing and marketing examples should not be assumed to describe UK rules.
