- Multi-brand, no commercial bias
- Invite-only private beta
How it works
Three steps, no detours.
02
Facial analysis on your phone
Detection happens on your device. Your photo never leaves your phone unless you say so.
03
Your personalized plan
Morning and evening routine with validated actives, three price tiers per product, and the scientific reason behind each recommendation.
What Virderm is. What it is not.
No own brand. No paid influencers. No medical claims. No “rituals” or “experiences”. Science, not marketing.
Why Virderm
What you expected from a skincare app five years ago.
Truly multi-brand
We recommend the products on the market that fit you best: the ones backed by evidence, not the ones paying the highest commission. We’ll never make our own, because that’s where bias starts.
Advisor with a curated base
An agent trained on 20+ cosmetic actives with clinical backing. It doesn’t improvise: it reasons over data you can verify, with its references.
Privacy by default
Facial analysis runs on your device. We don’t upload raw images unless you ask, and we delete data after 30 days unless you decide otherwise.
No medical diagnosis
We don’t diagnose: we guide. For any serious skin issue, we refer you to a dermatologist. Always.
Scientific base
Validated actives, not products.
Virderm’s intelligence lives in a curated base of cosmetic actives with clinical backing. The agent reasons over it to build your routine — it doesn’t recommend hardcoded product lists.

Frequently asked
What people ask before signing up.
-
Is this a medical app?
No. Virderm guides your skincare routine; it doesn’t diagnose or treat diseases. If we detect something beyond cosmetic care, we recommend you see a dermatologist.
-
What happens to my photos?
Facial analysis runs on your own phone. We don’t upload the raw image to our servers unless you allow it, and the data is deleted after 30 days by default. You’re in charge.
-
When do you launch?
We’re in pre-launch. The private beta kicks off in 2026, invite-only and with limited slots. If you want to try it, write to hola@virderm.com and we’ll let you know as soon as we open.
-
How much does it cost?
Freemium. The analysis and base routine are free; advanced features will be on a paid plan. You buy products wherever you want: Virderm doesn’t sell cosmetics.
-
Why only men?
Because men’s skincare is poorly served: it’s either ignored or oversimplified. And male skin is different by nature — thicker, oilier. We’d rather solve one audience really well than be average for everyone. It’s focus, not exclusion.
-
Are you multi-brand or do you have your own products?
Multi-brand, and we’ll never have our own. The moment we manufactured our own products, our recommendation would stop being neutral. That’s the line we don’t cross.
-
Who validates the scientific base?
Each active is backed by clinical literature with references (DOIs) you can check inside the app. The base is reviewed by a dermatologist before launch.
