Hey guys, welcome back to Skin Anarchy. This is a very special episode because I'm interviewing

a brand that I have been using for quite a while now. I've been a huge fan of their entire line,

and I think they have such amazing products and really, really they lean on that efficacy

component when it comes to skincare that you can rely on. I always love these opportunities to

talk to those type of brands because I think this is really

the future of skincare. As I've told you guys many times on the podcast, I would love to introduce you

guys to the co-founders of dermatology, Scott and Sam.

Pleasure to be here. Thank you for having us.

It's a pleasure to have you both, and I'm so excited to dive into dermatology.

Like I said, I'm a total stand for the brand, and I think that what you're doing is very unique in the space. You know, I don't really get to talk to a lot of brands that are so heavily focused on just let's do the science, you know, and let's get that right and go with that first and foremost. I really actually even love the kind of marketing you guys put out.

You know, it's just like all jives with what I think skincare should be doing. So that's my,

Walk us down memory lane, you know, in terms of like, where did the brand begin for both of you?

I mean, what really kind of sparked that, that interest where you both thought, I need, you know, we need to start our own thing? Absolutely. So, you know, the story goes back 24 years. I'm a solid of a dermatologist. My father has been practicing for many, many years. And as a kid, we grew up going to the American Academy Dermatology as our annual vacation. And so I get dragged around

the convention floor with my father and, you know, learning all about dermatology at a very young

age. So after school, I started working for my father in his practice and saw a true white

space and a lack of high-end technology-based skincare products that were accessible for doctors in-office dispensing.

And then as a result, I decided to start working with some other labs,

to start developing some of these formulations to meet that need that I saw that was really lacking within industry.

As I did that, quickly realized that there's an integrity issue with a lot of manufacturers,

and they really sit themselves, and it really understand in formulation chemists

how to develop such high-active synergistic formulations that are really superior
