What YNS Cosmeceutical Skincare does

YNS Cosmeceutical Skincare is a privately held, physician-developed cosmeceutical skincare company founded in 2000 by Dr. Patrick M. Flaharty, a dual fellowship-trained oculo-facial plastic and facial cosmetic surgeon, and Dr. Kristen Flaharty, a Doctor of Pharmacy. The company manufactures and sells a tightly curated product line — the Power Trio — consisting of three core SKUs: Radiance (a 28.5% anti-wrinkle face cream), Cell-Tight (a 23% vitamin C retinol serum), and Infusion 02 (a 38% polypeptide eye cream), collectively containing 14 clinically proven active ingredients at high concentrations. Products are formulated in-house under GMP standards in the company's own laboratory and are dermatologically tested for all skin types. The business is headquartered in Fort Myers, Florida, with an associated presence in Naples, and operates with a headcount of 11–50 employees.

YNS operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model, selling exclusively through its own website (ynsskincare.com) with no retail, wholesale, or third-party marketplace presence. Distribution is limited to the United States. Revenue is generated through one-time purchases of the Power Trio bundle, individual SKUs, and curated Value Sets, supplemented by a 'Refer A Friend' program, content marketing through the YNS Trending blog, personalized phone consultations with skin care consultants, physician endorsements, and earned media coverage in outlets such as CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, the Boston Globe, and the Miami Herald. The customer base is composed of individual adult consumers seeking anti-aging solutions, with multiple testimonials documenting 10–25 years of continuous use, indicating strong results-dependent retention.

As of July 2, 2026, YNS Cosmeceuticals was acquired by Trilogy Laboratories, a strategic operating company with FDA-registered manufacturing operations, pharmaceutical formulation expertise, and physician leadership. The acquisition combines YNS's established brand, Power Trio product line, and loyal customer base with Trilogy's larger manufacturing and R&D infrastructure. YNS continues to operate as a subsidiary under Trilogy's ownership, with Dr. Kristen Flaharty remaining as CEO and no immediate changes planned to the existing product collection. Trilogy has publicly committed to supporting future growth through R&D, educational resources, and digital initiatives.
