More about Skin + Me:

There's a huge problem in the world of skincare: people struggle with more than just how their skin looks. They also worry about how it makes them feel and how to manage it long-term. We're on a mission to change that.


The truth is that achieving your best skin isn't complicated. The secret? Using a stripped back routine with the best combination of active ingredients for your skin goals. The right products and knowledge make it possible to tackle everything from fine lines and wrinkles to adult acne, rosacea and pigmentation. We're united in the belief that everyone should have access to expert advice, treatment plans and ingredients that work - minus the big price tag and the long dermatologist waitlist.


Skin + Me is a mission-driven start-up, building a pioneering online dermatology service powered by experts. We take customers through a simple online medical consultation and our prescribers formulate custom treatments that can't be bought on the high street. Each one is personalised to the individual's skin goals. It arrives in their letterbox each month and evolves alongside their skin - because everyone's skin is different and no two journeys are the same.


Skin + Me recently secured 10 million in a series B funding round, reflecting the growing interest in expert-approved skincare. We've raised funding from some of the best-known direct-to-consumer entrepreneurs and VCs, including Octopus Ventures. Our highly experienced founding team comes from the likes of Facebook, Charlotte Tilbury, Tails.com and Graze.com.


Our journey has just begun and we'd love for you to join us as we change the face of skincare! Think you're up for the challenge?
