The skincare brand founded by celebrity aesthetician Angela Caglia has closed its first funding round to fuel retail expansion. 

WHO: LA-based celebrity facialist and master aesthetician Angela Caglia created her clean clinical skincare line in response to the reactive skin and disrupted lipid barriers she was seeing with her A-list clientele.

WHY: The funding will be used to build a team, product development, and retail expansion. 

IN THEIR OWN WORDS: "We've been in the minor leagues, and now we have an opportunity to play on a massive scale, which is what we're all about: getting the message out, and getting the products out there," Rob Carliner, co-founder and CEO of Angela Caglia Skincare, told WWD.
