All Skin

All Skin is a dermatologist-developed skincare analysis and routine recommendation technology, currently delivered via mobile applications on Apple and Android devices. Led by board-certified dermatologists, Dr. Ryan Lewinson, MD, PhD and Dr. Isabelle Vallerand, MD, PhD, All Skin is driven by the vision of making healthy skin and expert skincare guidance accessible to everyone. Recognizing the challenges many face without direct access to a dermatologist, the sheer number of products and ingredients used on market, and increasing skincare misinformation, All Skin set out to create a solution. To solve these problems, All Skin leverages dermatological thinking and scientific evidence, where they automate analytics of thousands of products from brands you know and love, and incorporate state-of-the art technologies in artificial intelligence and data science to provide you the ultimate digital companion in skincare and building a routine personalized to your own skin - like having a dermatologist in your pocket. 

The founders took a data-driven approach to develop the AI-enabled app and turned to programs like Creative Destruction Lab-Rockies and UCeed to help commercialize their technology. “There’s an incredible ecosystem to support startups here, and once we stepped foot inside, everything seemed to ramp up," says Dr. Lewinson. The company is now doing pilot deployments of their technology with skincare retailers and brands to provide consumers with personalized dermatology guidance when making product selections. As a part of the startup community on UCalgary’s campus, the company is looking forward to seeing its product reach more people across the community and make lives easier for both patients and physicians.
