Led by Harvard-trained Dermatologist Dr. Iris Rubin and Greg Maged, Seen is a premier science-backed, clinically-proven beauty brand, which sits at the intersection of multiple billion-dollar markets, including haircare, sensitive skin, acne, eczema, dry scalp, and hair thinning. Its products are clean, vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without clogging oils, silicones, phthalates, parabens, dyes, gluten, or formaldehyde-releasing preservatives.
Seen has been issued five patents, over 7,000 5-star reviews, and over a dozen beauty awards, and holds the National Eczema Association’s Seal of Acceptance for its fragrance-free line. The products are available nationwide at HelloSeen.com, ULTA, Amazon, Dermstore, and SkinStore.
The brand also provides financial support to laser clinics in Armenia and Vietnam, which treat children with disfiguring birthmarks and scars.
