“When dermatologists, cosmetic chemists and a brand that has tapped into what consumers are really troubled by all come together, we can create magic! It was a true collaborative process and I enjoyed going through the various stages of development and also crafting how the product will fit into a routine and the language on instructing people on how best to use it.” - Dr Cristina Psomadakis
