Our Story
Born from a simple idea
In 2007, 12-year-old Daniel Schlessinger — now a practicing dermatologist — used his lip balm to soothe dry, cracked fingertips during a Nebraska winter. He noticed the salve relieved dry skin longer than any lotion.
His father, board-certified dermatologist Joel Schlessinger, MD, recognized the potential. Together with Daniel’s grandfather Bernie — a PhD in physical chemistry — they set out to create a medicated healing balm with 1% hydrocortisone that tastes good and comes in a convenient, portable package.
The result: FixMySkin — featured in the New York Times, Allure, NewBeauty, and debuted on The Dr. Oz Show.
