Canadian model and skincare founder Sabrina Dhowre Elba is what we would call a blossoming beauty icon. Since developing her melanin-inclusive, African botanical skincare line, S'Able Labs, alongside husband Idris during Covid, we've watched the 34-year-old's business flourish in the beauty space. And, if her signature lustrous skin is anything to go by, it's safe to assume that these high performance formulas are not ones to disappoint.

Here, Elba shares the secrets to her glistening skincare routine, from signature S'Able formulas to classic beauty tools and dermatologist recommendations, plus, the lowdown on all things azelaic acid (as if we couldn't get enough already).

'I’ve been suffering from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation for most of my life, I’ve always had acne-prone skin and I love that we can layer our range with prescription strength products,' she shares. 'I’m using an azelaic acid at 20%. Not only does it keep my acne at bay, but it also helps to fade pigmentation.'
