The science-backed, doctor-founded functional skincare brand Skintensive acquired ScarSmart and hired former Unilever executive John Bartolone.
WHO: ScarSmart is a scar improvement and prevention brand, maker of ScarSmart Silicone Scar Gel and ScarSmart Silicone Scar Sheets.
Skintensive is an award-winning and science-backed skincare brand founded by two Harvard-trained dermatologists, Anar Mikailov, MD, FAAD, and Vladimir Ratushny, MD, PhD, FAAD. The brand is known for its clinically tested Bruise Cream and a skincare range designed to support maturing and sensitive skin. The Skintensive brand is carried by numerous board-certified dermatologist offices in the United States.
WHY: The deal will expand Skintensive's product offering with its proven silicone-based scar revision product line.
IN THEIR OWN WORDS: “I was impressed when I first met Dr. Mikailov and Dr. Ratushny in how they found an underserved, white space in the otherwise saturated skincare industry,” said Dr. Bartolone. “They’re seeing patients daily in clinics and using that direct patient feedback along with their expertise to create truly functional products. I’m honored to bring my experience and expertise to Skintensive as the brand continues expanding.”
"We initially developed the Skintensive Bruise Cream to address acute and chronic bruising and solar purpura that is exceedingly common in our patients,” said Dr. Mikailov. “Those same patients also need options for the prevention and improvement of scars on their fragile skin. Now, the patients who trust our Skintensive brand will have access to an incredible product that dermatologists have recommended for many years."
