PROVEN launched a global, democratized public offering for unaccredited investors - now anyone can become a shareholder in PROVEN.

Award-Winning Data

The power behind PROVEN is our award-winning Skin Genome Project™ database, which uses the wisdom of 4,000 scientific papers and 25 million consumer reviews to understand what works for customers.

Traction

From $0 to $37M revenue run rate within 3 years of launch. Healthy unit economics and ability to acquire users efficiently; every customer acquired pays for themself in the first months.

Product Roadmap

Personalized skincare is just the beginning. Supplements, hair care, body care, cosmetics, and baby care products are all part of PROVEN’s plan to expand into multiple wellness categories.

Why Are 55% of Consumers Dissatisfied with Their Skincare?

Skin is your body’s largest organ; why don’t we treat it like such? When you have issues with a significant organ in your body, a doctor doesn’t prescribe you the most popular treatment, and your specific needs determine your treatment plan. While medicine advances rapidly and moves towards personalization, skincare is still stuck in the antiquated one-size-fits-all method.

Products are designed to serve everyone, yet individuals have differentiated needs that change throughout the year and evolve throughout their lives. No one should have to experiment on their skin.

Traditional skincare companies produce a handful of SKUs to address the lowest common denominator. At PROVEN, we offer 4,500 product permutations for every individual need.

PROVEN Solution

Our data-driven approach drives results not only in terms of customer satisfaction (more than 14,000 FIVE star reviews!) but also in independent, third-party clinical testing. Clinical studies² have shown PROVEN skincare to be effective for anti-aging, hyperpigmentation concerns, and increasing softness, glow, and radiance of skin.

The Experts That Are Disrupting a $155B Industry

PROVEN skincare is formulated by Stanford dermatologists and skin scientists using cutting-edge, scientific, and clean ingredients. Cofounders, Ming and Amy, combined their business and data science backgrounds to disrupt the $155B skincare industry.

“We expect doctors to attend to our unique health needs, yet the care of our skin remains a traditional, one-size-fits-all customer experience.”

“I was tired of not finding what works.”

Ming Zhao
Co-founder

"As a data scientist and physicist, I could no longer stand the lack of data, cutting-edge technology and evidence in the care of our body's largest organ - our skin. So I had to start a whole new kind of skin health company."
