 Over 15 years ago, NEOCUTIS was founded on the basis of extensive wound healing research performed in Lausanne, Switzerland. When our first wound healing technology was found to scarlessly heal burned skin, while making it appear healthier and more youthful, NEOCUTIS scientists began to explore how to apply the same principles to improve the appearance of aging skin. Unlike young skin, which heals quickly and easily, older skin acts more like wounded skin.

NEOCUTIS began developing products that support natural healing by stimulating the processes that regenerate and restore the key building blocks of skin structure—namely, collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

Since then, our ongoing cutting-edge research and meticulous craftsmanship with only the best cosmetic ingredients have led to the development of products that deliver targeted peptides and proteins to help nourish and rejuvenate skin.
