CellCeuticals Skin Care

CellCeuticals Skin Care, Inc. was a cosmeceutical company established in 2007, operating from Beverly Hills, United States. The founding team consisted of Dr. Garth Fisher, an internationally recognized plastic and reconstructive surgeon, and Paul Scott Premo, a veteran of the beauty industry. Their collaboration aimed to merge surgical expertise with beauty industry knowledge to develop scientifically-backed, anti-aging skin treatments. The company positioned itself in the premium skincare market, targeting consumers seeking clinically-validated alternatives to more invasive procedures.

The company's core business revolved around the development and sale of a range of skincare products designed to address the visible signs of aging. Its business model was direct-to-consumer and retail, with products available through e-commerce platforms like its own website, Dermstore.com, and QVC.com. A central element of its product line was the proprietary and patent-pending GFP Cellular Complex. This complex was formulated to act at a cellular level, encouraging the regeneration of surface cells to improve the skin's appearance. The product portfolio included a system of treatments such as the Extremely Gentle Skin Cleanser, CellGenesis Regenerative Skin Treatment, and NeoCell Micro-Resurfacing Skin Treatment. These products utilized ingredients like natural enzymes, volcanic micro-minerals, and vitamins to cleanse, resurface, and protect the skin.

Over its operational history, CellCeuticals secured approximately $7.59 million in funding over two Series A rounds in 2010 and 2011. A significant milestone occurred in March 2014 when Histogen Aesthetics, a subsidiary of the regenerative medicine company Histogen, Inc., acquired the CellCeuticals brand and its product line. The acquisition was intended to integrate Histogen's regenerative medicine technology into the existing CellCeuticals formulas. Following the acquisition, the brand was classified as acqui-hired, marking the conclusion of its journey as an independent entity.
