111Skin

What 111Skin does

111SKIN is a London-headquartered luxury clinical skincare company founded in 2012 by Dr. Yannis Alexandrides, a practicing plastic and reconstructive surgeon, and co-founded with Eva Alexandrides. The company's products are built around its proprietary NAC Y²™ complex — a formulation of Vitamin C, Escin, and N-acetylcysteine designed to stimulate glutathione production for skin repair, rejuvenation, and defense against environmental stressors — alongside more recent Exosome technology (derived from Lactobacillus Ferment) and microspicule technology (from hydrolysed freshwater sponge). The portfolio spans 30+ SKUs across Repair, Black Diamond, Cryo, Radiance, and Exosome sub-brands, priced from approximately $50 for entry-level masks to roughly $1,000 for premium Black Diamond products and treatment sets.

The brand operates a hybrid distribution model in which roughly 80% of revenue flows through selective wholesale channels — including Harrods, Nordstrom, Bluemercury, Mandarin Oriental spas, and Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia — and the remaining ~20% through the brand's own 111skin.com e-commerce platform, which includes a Subscribe & Save subscription tier offering 20% recurring discounts and a V1P loyalty program. Customer mix is anchored to affluent skincare consumers and post-procedure patients, with celebrity-driven earned media (Jessica Alba, Jennifer Aniston, Anne Hathaway, Margot Robbie, Priyanka Chopra) and editorial placement in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Forbes, and Elle reinforcing premium positioning.

The company is privately held and has raised successive minority investments from SKKY Partners (January 2025) and The Estée Lauder Companies (April 2026), with Dr. Alexandrides continuing as CEO alongside an expanded management team that includes a COO and an EVP of Strategy & Asia Pacific. Industry sources place annual revenue in the $40–50M range with ~40% of sales in North America, and the brand is actively extending into spa/clinic operations (111CRYO, 111SKIN SPA/CLINIC at The Plaza, treatments at Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman) to support both product demonstration and an emerging services revenue layer.

Direct peers

• ZO Skin Health: Dr. Zein Obagi-founded clinical skincare brand focused on physician-dispensed corrective and anti-aging protocols. Comparable surgeon-founder heritage and clinical efficacy positioning, with a similar bridge between in-clinic procedures and at-home regimens.
• iS Clinical: Physician-dispensed clinical skincare brand with botanical-pharmaceutical formulations and strong spa/medical-spa channel presence. Comparable clinical efficacy narrative and distribution across luxury spa and medical aesthetics channels.
• SkinMedica: Allergan/AbbVie-owned clinical skincare brand with TNS growth factor technology and a strong post-procedure / anti-aging positioning. Comparable as a physician-backed line bridging aesthetic procedures and daily skincare routines.
• Alastin Skincare: Procedure-focused clinical skincare brand (acquired by Galderma) specializing in post-procedure skin recovery and TriHex Technology®. Directly comparable to 111Skin's clinic-to-home positioning and surgeon-channel distribution model.
• Augustinus Bader: Luxury clinical skincare brand co-founded by a biomedical scientist (Professor Augustinus Bader) with proprietary TFC8® technology and a similar surgeon/scientist-led clinical narrative. Competes head-to-head in the prestige anti-aging segment with comparable price points and selective luxury retail distribution.
• Dr. Barbara Sturm: Surgeon-founded luxury skincare brand built around proprietary 'Vampire Facial' / plasma-based aesthetics heritage. Closely mirrors 111Skin's positioning at the intersection of medical aesthetics and prestige beauty, with comparable price ladder and celebrity-driven marketing.
• SkinCeuticals: Physician-dispensed clinical skincare brand (L'Oréal-owned) anchored in antioxidant and post-procedure science. Directly comparable as a clinical/dermatologist-grade skincare line positioned adjacent to aesthetic procedures with similar efficacy-claim-driven messaging.

Broad incumbents

• La Mer: Iconic ultra-luxury skincare brand (Estée Lauder-owned) with Miracle Broth™ proprietary technology. Competes with 111Skin at the top of the prestige skincare price ladder but as part of ELC's broader portfolio rather than a focused clinical-skincare specialist.
• Drunk Elephant: Biocompatible clinical-skincare brand (Shiseido-owned) with a strong clean-clinical positioning. Comparable efficacy-led marketing but distributed more through specialty beauty (Sephora) than the luxury department-store/spa channel 111Skin prioritizes.

Emerging players

• Tata Harper: Luxury natural-clinical skincare brand focused on high-performance, non-toxic formulations at premium price points. Comparable as a prestige skincare competitor targeting affluent efficacy-driven consumers, though differentiated by its natural/botanical positioning versus 111Skin's surgeon-clinical angle.
