    Participated · Seed · Sep 2025

    Dermaself has built a proprietary AI engine that analyses selfies to evaluate skin condition and automatically balance product ingredients, producing customised skincare recommendations delivered through an app, web widgets and in-store totems. The company currently supports a community of 14,000 people, with more than 6,000 active users and 300 paying customers. It reports about €45 million in pre-orders for its forthcoming e-commerce offering. With the fresh capital, Dermaself plans to enlarge its technology and marketing teams, enhance the AI platform to cover additional concerns such as spots, wrinkles and pimples, and roll out both a B2B e-commerce portal and a consumer mobile app so it can serve as a comprehensive “beauty identity provider.” The startup collaborates with Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino on technological R&D. Ultimately, the company aims to make scientific dermatology more accessible while reducing product waste and returns within the beauty industry.
