Our Mission: Skin Clarity
Derm Check was born from a simple observation: skincare is overwhelming, and professional advice is often inaccessible. We are here to change that.
Our Story
Founded in 2025, Derm Check started as a collaboration between software engineers and clinical dermatologists. We realized that many of the diagnostic tools used in clinics could be digitized and made available to the public.
Our goal was to remove the barriers of cost, geographical location, and privacy concerns, allowing anyone with an internet connection to understand their skin better.
Our Core Values
-
Total Anonymity: We believe your skin health data is your own. No sign-ups required.
-
Evidence-Based: Every tool we build is rooted in established dermatological scales and research.
-
Radical Accessibility: High-quality tools should be free for everyone, everywhere.
The Scientific Foundation
Baumann Skin Scale
Our skin type assessments are based on the 16-type Baumann system, which accounts for oiliness, sensitivity, pigmentation, and wrinkling tendencies.
Fitzpatrick Phototyping
We utilize the Fitzpatrick scale to assess UV sensitivity and risk, ensuring that our sun protection advice is tailored to your genetic melanin levels.
EWG & CIR Standards
Our ingredient analysis cross-references data from the Environmental Working Group and Cosmetic Ingredient Review for safety profiles.
