About SLMD Skincare
Skincare isn’t magic, it’s science.
And your best skin is well within your reach.
Founded by a board-certified dermatologist, SLMD Skincare makes products that address real skin conditions the way a doctor would. We want people to look in the mirror and not just feel confident that their skin looks good, but to know why — and how to keep it that way.
OUR MISSON
Democratizing dermatology™
Because everyone deserves their best skin
We believe that dermatology should be accessible to all. We also know that for a lot of people, it’s not. We’re here to bridge the gap between a doctor’s visit and a trip down the skincare aisle. By providing expert knowledge, thoughtful counsel, and effective products, we empower people to take their skin health into their own hands, and ultimately make good choices that work for them.

OUR FOUNDER
Created by Dr. Pimple Popper
Sandra Lee, MD — best known as Dr. Pimple Popper — is pop culture’s favorite dermatologist and skin care expert. As a dermatologist, her job is to help people understand what their skin condition is, why it's happening, identify the treatments that will help, and explain why they’ll work. And she’s good at it. That’s why millions of people watch her treat patients online and on her TLC show, Dr. Pimple Popper.
SLMD Skincare takes the same approach. Not everyone can slide into the patient’s chair. But they can absolutely benefit from a doctor’s knowledge, care, and expertise.
That’s where we come in.

Knowledge is power and we want to share.
WHY US
Dermatologist formulated, skincare for all
SLMD Skincare isn’t just doctor approved. We’re doctor led. Dr. Sandra Lee has curated every system and helped develop every formula to create products that she knows will work because she sees them work every day.
Skincare aisles are cluttered at best, completely overwhelming at worst.
It’s confusing.
And trying to find a solution on your own can be expensive and frustrating.
SLMD Skincare is the only truly dermatological skincare line that sets out to provide targeted solutions for the most common skin conditions — face and body blemishes, keratosis pilaris, scars and dark spots, dry skin, irritation — using effective, scientifically proven ingredients that dermatologists use themselves, but at over-the-counter levels.
We help you identify the right products that will work for you and tell you the science behind why.
