Why this category is hard to rank in
Competing with beauty media
Skincare searches are dominated by beauty publishers, retailers and influencers. A prescription brand needs medical authority they can't match, not more of the same content.
Cosmetic vs drug claims
The line between a cosmetic claim and a drug claim matters. Promising to change the skin's structure, or treat a condition, carries regulatory weight, and anti-aging copy is where it is most often crossed.
Custom and compounded formulas
Personalized formulas are a strong selling point, but compounded products aren't FDA-approved. Content has to describe them accurately.
Before-and-after expectations
Results photos and testimonials are powerful and heavily scrutinized. They need to be genuine, typical and backed up.
How we grow dermatology brands

- MD-authored skin content. Your dedicated MD authors condition, ingredient and treatment content with the authority beauty media can't offer.
- Ingredient and routine guides. In-depth guides patients bookmark and share, built to rank and to move readers toward a consultation.
- Authority from health and beauty publications. Links and brand mentions from health, dermatology and beauty publications.
