skinbetter science was formed in 2016 to establish a biotech-based paradigm in skincare. Its founders built Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation between 1988 and 2012 into one of the leading specialty pharmaceutical companies in the world, and brought that same discipline to skincare: a pipeline of proprietary technologies, clinical substantiation of every claim, and distribution only through dermatologists, plastic surgeons and aesthetic practices. Every formula is dermatologist tested and made without parabens, fragrance or dyes.
