More About Skin + Me and the +Me Brands

There’s a huge problem in the world of personal care: people struggle with more than just how their skin or hair looks. They’re navigating confidence, identity, and long-term health—all deeply personal and ever-changing. The +Me Brands exist to change that.

Skin + Me launched over six years ago with one mission: to revolutionise skincare through personalised, clinically-effective treatment that’s simple, sustainable, and built around real results. Now a category leader and scale-up success story, Skin + Me has delivered millions of personalised treatments through our signature Daily Doser and helped customers transform not just their skin—but how they feel in it.

From that foundation, we’re building out a powerful family of brands:

Hair + Me brings prescription-led, personalised treatment to the world of hair health, tackling concerns like thinning and loss with the same blend of dermatological expertise and tailored solutions.

And now, Renew + Me is our latest evolution – an advanced prescription skincare brand created specifically for midlife women. Born from the insights of Skin + Me and designed to meet the unique needs of women 45+, Renew + Me couples hard-working actives with deeply human insight to become the definitive skincare brand for this powerful life stage.

At +Me, we advocate for real, long-term change – whether it’s better skin, hair, or health. Our mission is rooted in personalisation, expert care, and building deep trust with our customers. No compromises. Just undeniable results.

We recently raised £10 million in Series B funding, backed by top-tier investors like Octopus Ventures and leading DTC founders. Our founding team brings experience from some of the most trusted consumer brands in the world - Facebook, Charlotte Tilbury, Graze.com, and more.

With Skin + Me leading the way and our fast-growing younger brands already gaining traction, the +Me journey is just getting started. We’re scaling fast – and we’d love for you to be part of it.
