More Than Skincare —A Scientific Standard

  • Expertise You Can Trust

    Today’s market is saturated with opinions and influencers often dominating the spotlight. But few have the credentials to match their claims. As a board-certified dermatologist with over 8 years of rigorous medical training, Dr. Zenovia is a true expert in the biology of the skin—treating everything from skin cancer and autoimmune disorders to acne, aging, and beyond.

    What truly sets her apart is her unwavering commitment to science.

  • Skincare Backed by Research

    Early in her career, Dr. Zenovia recognized a major gap in the skincare industry: most products overlooked the root causes of imbalance—like inflammation, bacteria, and excess oil. This inspired her to spend years studying how internal and external stressors impact the skin on a cellular level.

    Her research led to a breakthrough approach: clinical-grade skincare designed to work with the skin to restore balance, not just mask symptoms. Today, she continues leading clinical trials and advancing the field of medical and aesthetic dermatology which includes innovation within the skincare space.

"Skin isn’t static—it’s dynamic, intelligent, and it deserves skincare backed by science." - Dr. Zenovia
