Founded in the pool

Founded in the pool

For decades, athletes have faced a worrisome situation; frequent exposure to sun, sweat, salt water, and chlorine can leave their skin dry and sun-damaged.

Dermasport's founders, Dr. Christopher Schmidt and Karen Allard, recognized that convential skincare couldn't keep up. They spent years developing the Dermasport System to make healthy skin the new norm for every athlete.

Dermasport is more than just good skincare. It's peace of mind, so you can do what you love outdoors for a lifetime.

“The effects of UV are cumulative, so it's never too late to start taking better care of your skin.”

An avid waterman and dermatologist, Dr. Schmidt has removed hundreds of skin cancers and precancerous lesions from longtime swimmers and outdoor athletes who did not know how to protect their skin with proper preventative measures.
