Champions of community-powered skincare
Our goal is to make skincare science transparent, data-driven, and community-powered. To achieve this, DermaLabs is working alongside customers to advance dermatological research and develop groundbreaking skincare innovations.
DermaLabs invites you to join us in shaping the future of skincare by participating in our clinically developed product trials. Test our upcoming products alongside our current offerings at a discounted rate, with the added benefit of unlocking exclusive rewards and discounts after the trials.
These trials will be conducted through our parent organization, DermaDAO — a decentralized autonomous organization committed to funding cutting-edge scientific and clinical research in skincare and cosmetic dermatology.
Join the LUNAR Trial
Our first trial, the "Longevity Using Novel Actives for Rejuvenation (LUNAR)" Trial is an innovative study exploring how emerging longevity-inspired ingredients can improve skin health, texture, and radiance.
Help evaluate new variations of our first product, Moon Drops - a clinically formulated serum built on the proven antioxidant triom Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Ferulic Acid, which we will enhance with new longevity actives such as resveratrol, bakuchiol and other next-generation compounds.
Using our secure platform from your mobile phone, you’ll:
- Apply your assigned products following the study schedule.
- Capture standardized facial photos weekly.
- Track your progress through AI-powered skin analytics.
- Share optional feedback on your skin’s look and feel.
Your participation will help build open scientific evidence on how real-world users respond to advanced skincare actives - safely, effectively, and transparently.

About
DermaLabs develops scientifically supported skincare aligned to community needs — not profit margins or passing trends.
Born from Research, Built for Everyone
DermaLabs was founded on a simple observation: dermatological research is fragmented, underfunded, and biased toward short-term commercial products rather than genuine skin health needs.
We set out to change that. By combining rigorous science with community-powered insights, we create formulations that address what your skin actually needs — backed by evidence, not hype.
Addressing hallmarks of aging in the skin can be a substantial contribution to systemic health, and not simply a cosmetic goal.
Where Science Meets Community
Every DermaLabs formulation begins with research — not trends. We combine AI-driven skin analysis, community-validated testing, and peer-reviewed science to develop products that genuinely work.
Our decentralised community trials build one of the world’s largest open datasets of skincare interventions, ensuring our products are tested across diverse skin types, tones, and conditions.
Our Commitments
Evidence-Led
Every ingredient is selected based on clinical evidence and scientific research, never marketing trends.
Inclusive Research
We prioritise equity and diversity in our trials, building datasets that represent all skin types and tones.
Radical Transparency
Open trial data, honest ingredient lists, and no hidden fillers. We share what we know and what we don’t.
Cruelty-Free
Never tested on animals. Our community-powered approach means real-world validation from real people.
Community-Owned
Research discoveries are shared with the community. Breakthroughs belong to everyone, not shareholders.
Clean Formulations
No parabens, sulphates, or unnecessary fillers. Only what your skin needs, nothing it doesn’t.
