5 Best doctor-found skincare brands of 2024

Doctor-found skincare brands are gaining popularity as more medical professionals enter the skincare industry, boosting the trust factor that stems from the founder’s medical background. The recently launched skincare brand Remedy by TikTok’s famous "DermDoctor," Dr. Muneeb Shah, has already garnered positive traction from beauty enthusiasts.

Additionally, multiple celebrity-owned skincare brand formulations are developed in collaboration with renowned dermatologists, which is why doctor-founded skincare brands are more trusted by beauty enthusiasts.

Since doctor-found skincare brands don't showcase the rigorous marketing campaigns and celebrity endorsements that other luxury skincare brands undertake, not many are aware of the multiple doctor-found skincare brands available in the market.
