This brand’s journey began with a concerned father who struggled to find proper care for his son’s skin condition. After consulting numerous doctors without success, this father decided to combine the power of skin science with technology, leading to the creation of Cure Skin.
India, with a population of over 1.3 billion, faces a significant shortage of dermatologists, with only about 6,600 specialists available nationwide. This scarcity often leads to ineffective self-treatments using commercial products, which can exacerbate skin issues rather than resolve them. Founded in 2017 by ex-Google employees Guna Kakulapati and Ramakrishna R, Cureskin tackles this challenge by offering accessible, AI-driven dermatological care that bridges the gap between consumers and expert dermatologists.
How Cureskin Works
Cureskin’s platform is built around a simple yet powerful concept: users can upload a photo of their skin, which is then analyzed by AI to identify specific skin concerns such as acne, hyper-pigmentation, or scars. This analysis is followed by a personalized treatment plan crafted by a team of over 40 experienced dermatologists. The treatment kits are home-delivered, eliminating the need for clinic visits.
They have 100+ highly qualified and experienced dermatologists and clinicians guide and support you throughout the treatment. Cureskin claims this dedicated team has helped more than 17 lakh people reach their ideal state of skin and hair health.
Personalized Skincare Solutions
What sets Cureskin apart from generic skincare products is its focus on customization. Unlike “one-size-fits-all” products, Cureskin’s solutions are tailored to individual skin types and conditions. Each treatment kit contains clinically tested products that work synergistically to cleanse, repair, protect, and nourish the skin. Users typically see noticeable improvements within 4-6 weeks.
Funding and Growth
Cureskin has secured significant funding to fuel its growth. In a recent Series B round, the company raised $20 million, led by HealthQuad, bringing its total funding to $26 million.
Impact and Future Prospects
With over 80% of its clients from Tier 2 and 3 regions, Cureskin has already treated more than 1.5 million people across India. The company’s commitment to providing affordable, high-quality skincare solutions aligns with India’s “Make in India” initiative, contributing to the country’s economic growth.
