Clinical Skin is Here, and Dermatologists Love It

Why are dermatologist partnerships important to you?

Competing in the skincare market requires a never-ending stream of innovation and newness — and I draw my inspiration directly from the experts: dermatologists.

Leveraging professionals and employing a medical approach to beauty has been embedded into my DNA from a young age. I was exposed to and immersed in the medical industry early on as my mother worked with pharmaceutical companies and physicians on conducting clinical trials and drug testing. Her work informed my approach to everything — from formulating with scientifically-backed ingredients, conducting extensive research, claim validating, product commercialization and go-to-market strategy and cemented the importance of tapping into professional expertise for insights and feedback.

Dermatologists are the first point of contact with our customer base — an aesthetic patient who seeks and values physician recommendation over marketing claims — and we want to make sure we harness all the feedback they can provide us.

Dermatologists act as our professional focus group validating product concepts and prototypes and serve as advisors to ensure we don’t stray from the “medical lane.” Clinical Skin is here to capture their feedback and warrant that products and formulas we launch are on par with what a dermatologist would recommend in their practice.

We were honored to have Dr. Joshua Zeichner, renowned dermatologist and Director of Cosmetic & Clinical Research at Mount Sinai Hospital, and Dr. Bertha Baum, board-certified dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon, partner with Clinical Skin and help explain exactly how Clinical Skin fits into the marketplace and their practices.

You launched with just two products and a massage roller. What makes each of these products special, and how can they be added to someone's existing routine?

All of our formulas harness the power of ingredients frequently featured in peer-reviewed medical literature and recognized to have a meaningful action on skin by experts (dermatologists and aestheticians).

Additionally, all Clinical Skin formulas are enhanced by A.C.E. Technology, a blend of synergistic antioxidants that I hand-picked, four biomimetic ceramides, and an enzyme with antioxidant properties. These ingredients are known to help soothe the skin and defend against environmental and free radical damage while supporting and nourishing the skin’s epidermal barrier. It is a win-win for all.

Clinical Skin is also free of parabens, synthetic dyes and synthetic fragrances.

What's next for the brand?

We're on a mission to become the leading science-backed skincare company guided by the needs of our customers as well as the latest research as we continue to lean into partnerships with dermatologists. I am restless in pursuit of formulatory perfection and pushing forward to develop multitasking (multi-functional), cutting-edge (next-gen) innovations that feature unique delivery systems and help support healthy skin aging. I have this geeky obsession to constantly discover and learn about new science (new scientific discoveries) and bottle the findings in Clinical Skin formulations – and I hope that excitement translates into consumers’ patronage.

For now, the collection is built around two products, but it will eventually feature an essential portfolio of skin rejuvenating formulas that are designed to deliver results. New launches will be introduced later in 2022.
