About Alastin Skincare

Alastin Skincare, Inc. operates as a specialty aesthetics company, developing and marketing a range of skincare products. Founded in 2015 by Scott L. Glenn and Alan D. Purdy in Carlsbad, California, the firm was established with the goal of bringing advanced, physician-dispensed skincare solutions to the market. The company's trajectory has been marked by significant growth, culminating in its acquisition by Galderma in November 2021, a move that integrated Alastin into a global dermatology portfolio.

The company's business model is centered on a direct-to-physician approach, distributing its products exclusively through a network of dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and other aesthetic practitioners. This strategy ensures that consumers receive professional guidance on product use, aligning the brand with clinical expertise. The target market is the professional aesthetics sector, where practitioners purchase the products to retail to their patients or to use in conjunction with cosmetic procedures. Revenue is generated from the sale of these premium skincare products to medical professionals and directly to consumers through its e-commerce platform, which requires association with a physician's practice.

Alastin's product line is underpinned by its proprietary TriHex Technology®, a patented blend of active peptides and botanicals. This technology is designed to support the skin's natural ability to clear out damaged collagen and elastin and to stimulate the production of new, healthy collagen and elastin. Products are formulated to be used both as a daily skincare regimen and as a complement to rejuvenating procedures such as laser treatments, chemical peels, and microneedling, aiming to enhance outcomes and reduce recovery time. Key offerings include the Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology®, designed for pre- and post-procedure use, the Restorative Skin Complex for daily maintenance to combat signs of aging, and the HydraTint Pro Mineral Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 36. The focus is on creating formulations that are scientifically validated and address specific skin concerns related to aging and aesthetic treatments.
