ABOUT US
Who We Are
Dr. Brenner Labs is a cosmeceutical laboratory focused on evidence-based skincare formulations.
We work in collaboration with dermatologists and cosmetic chemists to develop products using active ingredients with substantial clinical research backing their efficacy. Our approach is straightforward: if an ingredient hasn't been proven effective in peer-reviewed studies, we don't use it.
We manufacture at a certified contract laboratory in the USA. Quality control is critical to us—our vitamin C formulations are produced in small, frequent batches because L-ascorbic acid degrades through oxidation. This ensures customers receive fresh, potent products. We formulate with clinical-strength concentrations: 20% pure L-ascorbic acid, not the 10-15% often found in consumer products, and not vitamin C derivatives that are less effective.
Our Approach to Formulation
The skincare industry frequently launches products based on trending ingredients rather than proven efficacy. New "miracle" actives appear on social media every few months, often with minimal clinical research to support their claims. Brands capitalize on the hype, prices increase, and consumers are left with products that underdeliver.
We take a different approach. Before including any active ingredient in our formulations, we evaluate the published research. We look for controlled studies, reproducible results, and clear mechanisms of action. We determine optimal concentrations based on clinical data, not marketing appeal.
This results in a focused product line built around ingredients with decades of research: pure L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) for antioxidant protection and collagen synthesis, copper peptides and peptide complexes (Matrixyl 3000, Argireline) for collagen stimulation and wrinkle reduction, hyaluronic acid for hydration, ceramides for barrier function, and ferulic acid to enhance vitamin C stability.
These are established actives with proven track records. They may not be trendy, but they're effective.
Pricing and Value
Our products are priced significantly lower than comparable formulations from luxury skincare brands. The active ingredients are the same. The concentrations are equivalent or higher. The manufacturing standards are comparable. The price difference reflects business model choices, not quality differences.
Luxury brands invest heavily in advertising, influencer partnerships, celebrity endorsements, and premium retail placement. These costs are passed to consumers. We've chosen a different model: manufacture efficiently at certified facilities, maintain transparent pricing, and sell directly. Customers pay for pharmaceutical-grade active ingredients and quality manufacturing—not marketing overhead.
Customer Results
Our customers are knowledgeable about skincare. Many have spent years and significant money trying products that didn't deliver results. They read ingredient lists, research concentrations, and often consult with their dermatologists.
When they find our products, many report finally seeing the improvements they've been seeking:
"Best Vit C I can find on the market after trying numerous other brands. I've been using it for over 2 years now."
"I showed your ingredient list to my dermatologist and she said it matches what she usually recommends."
"This really is the rare exception! I can't recommend it highly enough."
Our customer retention rate reflects product efficacy. Repeat purchase rates are high because the formulations deliver measurable results—reduced hyperpigmentation, improved skin texture, diminished fine lines.
Who Benefits from Our Products
Our customers are informed consumers who evaluate products critically. They understand ingredient lists, check active concentrations, and value transparency. They're frustrated by the gap between skincare pricing and actual ingredient costs. They want evidence-based products that address specific skin concerns without excessive markup or marketing hype.
If this describes your approach to skincare, our products are formulated with you in mind.
Our Commitment
We formulate using ingredients with substantial published research supporting their efficacy. We use clinically-relevant concentrations proven effective in studies. We manufacture at certified facilities with quality controls ensuring product potency and stability. We maintain complete transparency about formulation details and pricing rationale.
Every product includes a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. We're confident that formulations based on decades of peer-reviewed research will deliver results.
