Murad
Founder Dr. Howard Murad is not only a dermatologist, but a trained pharmacist and an expert in nutrition. To that end he has written a number of books. Despite decades in the business, he is still actively involved in his growing skin care brand, which has seen a major boom with its online sales during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to staple moisturizers and cleansers, Dr. Murad is known for innovation, like the brand's cult-fave Murad Clarifying Body Spray, $44.
MDSolarSciences
As a dermatologic oncologist and a clinical professor at the NYU School of Medicine, Dr. Robert J. Friedman has long known firsthand the importance of wearing sunscreen daily and year-round. He was constantly hearing complaints about SPF products on the market being too heavy, pore clogging, and filled with irritants, and he knew there had to be a better way — so he set out to create it with MDSolarSciences, which makes a growing number of fast-absorbing, non-sticky, non-chalky sun protecting products.

Perricone MD
Dr. Nicholas Perricone is not only a dermatologist, but a health and wellness expert who has written a number of self-help books about weight loss and maintaining the appearance of youth. As such, his line of products includes both skin care and supplements and he is always breaching the importance of treating skin both topically and with a healthy lifestyle.

Dr. Brandt
Dr. Fredric Sheldon Brandt, the author and dermatologist behind Dr. Brandt, tragically took his life in 2015. He was mourned by a long list of devoted patients and clients, including Madonna. Hailed as the "Baron of Botox" and the "King of Collagen," Dr. Brandt leaves behind an empire of skin care products that to this day have a cult following, such as the Dr. Brandt Pores No More Pore Refiner Primer, $45.
