Our Company

In 1984, Paul Dean, M.D. and his wife walked into a high-end department store and were pitched to purchase a $150 bottle of skin cream by a sales associate. As a board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Dean was turned off by the misinformation consumers were receiving in tandem with outrageous skincare promises. Dr. Dean looked at the ingredients and was astounded by the marked-up price. This incident sparked a strong desire to create accessible skin care and to start debunking false promises in the skincare industry. With the intellectual power of a team of medical doctors and a bustling medical practice, his first compa- ny, dermEssence, Inc. was formed and was the first premium skincare line featured in a national drug store. The company became Resource in 1988, and then SkinResourceMD in 2007. Dr. Dean was instrumental in creating two other brands, VetDermSolutions and VitalFit-SR. VetDerm Solutions is the first dog shampoo created by a veterinarian and a dermatologist.
