Question 1

What is Dead Tired Club?

Accepted Answer

Dead Tired Club is skincare for rebel women who lived loud with no regrets — and refuse to be age-funnelled into boring beige wellness.

We make active, no-bullshit skincare that targets the stuff hormonal shifts throw at you: dark circles, fine lines, puffiness, breakouts, and dullness.

Plus a small range of merch for the club members who want to wear it proud.

Question 2

Who is Dead Tired Club for?

Accepted Answer

Women who went hard in the 90s and 2000s and are now dealing with the receipts.

If you're in perimenopause or menopause, running on sleep debt, and watching your skin change overnight — this is for you.

If you want skincare that actually does something, without the soft-focus 'age gracefully' nonsense — welcome to the club.

Question 3

What products do you sell?

Accepted Answer

Our focus is three cosmeceutical skincare products, all in 30ml airless pump bottles:

• Got Bags? — peptide firming under-eye cream
• Got Lines? — copper peptide anti-ageing serum
• Got Bumps? — hormonal acne BHA serum

We also carry a small range of merch for club members — think jerseys, beanies, and wear-it-proud gear.

Question 4

What makes Dead Tired Club products different?

Accepted Answer

We formulate for hormonal skin, not 20-year-old skin.

That means active ingredients that tackle dark circles, fine lines, loss of firmness, and hormonal breakouts — without harsh fragrances, unnecessary fillers, or condescending marketing.

Vegan friendly. Paraben-free. Unscented where it matters. Australian made. Created by a female founder who's been there.

Question 5

Are your products vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. Our skincare is vegan friendly and cruelty-free.

We also keep formulations free from parabens and unscented where possible, so they're kinder to sensitive, hormonal skin.

Question 12

Why is it called Dead Tired Club?

Accepted Answer

Because modern life is exhausting — and hormonal shifts don't help.

Between work, screens, stress, perimenopause, and everything else we carry every day, most women are running on empty.

Dead Tired Club is a reminder that you can be tired and still look after yourself.

And if you're dead tired… you're not alone.

Welcome to the club.

Question 13

What is perimenopause?

Accepted Answer

Perimenopause is the transitional phase before menopause, typically starting in your late 30s to mid-40s. During this time, your body's oestrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate unpredictably.

This hormonal shift can trigger a wide range of symptoms — including sleep disruption, night sweats, hot flushes, brain fog, mood changes, anxiety, muscle tension, and deep fatigue.

Perimenopause can last anywhere from 4 to 10 years before menopause officially begins (defined as 12 consecutive months without a period).

Question 14

What are the most common perimenopause symptoms?

Accepted Answer

The most common perimenopause symptoms include:

• Night sweats and hot flushes
• Insomnia or broken sleep (especially waking at 3am)
• Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
• Hormonal fatigue and exhaustion
• Anxiety, irritability, and mood swings
• Muscle tension and joint stiffness
• Weight changes, especially around the midsection
• Low libido
• Heart palpitations

Many women in Australia don't realise these symptoms are linked to perimenopause, which is why it often goes undiagnosed for years.

Question 15

How does perimenopause affect your skin?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal changes during perimenopause can show up on your face fast.

Dropping oestrogen reduces collagen and elasticity, which means fine lines become more visible, skin gets thinner, and under-eye areas can look hollow or puffy.

Meanwhile, fluctuating hormones can trigger breakouts — often around the jawline and chin — even if you haven't had acne in decades.

That's why Dead Tired Club skincare is built around actives that target these specific shifts: peptides for firmness, copper peptide for lines, and BHA for hormonal congestion.

Question 16

What skincare ingredients help with perimenopause?

Accepted Answer

Perimenopausal skin responds best to targeted actives:

• Peptides — support collagen, firmness, and under-eye bounce
• Copper peptides — help with fine lines, barrier repair, and skin texture
• BHA (salicylic acid) — clears hormonal breakouts and refines pores
• Hydrators — plump skin and reduce the look of fine lines

Our three products are built around these actives so you can address the most common skin changes without a 12-step routine.

Question 17

What is the difference between perimenopause and menopause?

Accepted Answer

Perimenopause is the transition period leading up to menopause. During perimenopause, your hormones fluctuate unpredictably — which is actually when most of the disruptive symptoms occur (night sweats, insomnia, hot flushes, brain fog, fatigue, skin changes).

Menopause is officially diagnosed after you've gone 12 consecutive months without a period. The average age of menopause in Australia is 51, but perimenopause symptoms can start as early as your mid-30s.

Post-menopause is the phase after menopause, where many symptoms gradually ease — though some women continue to experience sleep disruption, fatigue, and skin changes.

Dead Tired Club supports women across all three phases with skincare designed for real hormonal skin.

Question 18

How do I know if I'm in perimenopause?

Accepted Answer

You might be in perimenopause if you're experiencing a combination of:

• Changes to your menstrual cycle (shorter, longer, heavier, or irregular periods)
• New or worsening sleep problems
• Night sweats or hot flushes
• Unexplained fatigue even after sleeping
• Brain fog, forgetfulness, or difficulty concentrating
• Mood changes, anxiety, or irritability that feels different from your norm
• Skin changes: dryness, breakouts, fine lines, or loss of firmness

Perimenopause often starts in your early to mid-40s in Australia, but can begin from the late 30s. If these symptoms sound familiar, it's worth speaking with your GP. Blood tests can sometimes help, though hormone levels fluctuate so much during perimenopause that a single test isn't always conclusive.

You're not imagining it. And you're definitely not alone.

Question 19

Can skincare really help with perimenopause symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Yes — while skincare isn't a medical treatment, the right actives can make a noticeable difference to how your skin looks and feels during hormonal shifts.

Our products target the most common perimenopausal skin concerns:
• Got Bags? — peptides for firmness, puffiness, and dark circles
• Got Lines? — copper peptide for anti-ageing, barrier repair, collagen, and pigmentation
• Got Bumps? — BHA for pore-refining, breakouts, blemishes, and antioxidant protection

Many women find that combining targeted skincare with other strategies (good sleep hygiene, movement, nutrition, and medical support where needed) gives them the best results.

Dead Tired Club products are specifically chosen for women navigating perimenopause and menopause — because your skin deserves more than just surviving this phase.
