Built for skin that has been overlooked
The only surgeon-formulated line built from the ground up for melanin-rich skin.
Most medical-grade skincare was developed without people of color in mind. Dr. Truesdale built Artisa to change that — permanently.
“Many medical-grade skincare lines were never formulated with melanin-rich skin in mind — leaving people of color underserved or overlooked. At Artisa we’ve changed that.”
— Dr. Carl Truesdale · Founder & Chief Science Officer
🔬
Retinol optimized for melanin-rich skin
0.5% encapsulated retinol delivers results without triggering post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation common in deeper skin tones.
🏥
Developed inside a diverse Beverly Hills practice
The exact system Dr. Truesdale trusts for his surgical patients — before and after the operating room.
✅
Tested across the full spectrum of skin tones
Melanin-rich skin is not an afterthought. It is the standard every Artisa formula is built and tested against.

“I began using this after my facelift. The cleanser was soothing and the moisturizer eased the tightness. The silkiness and ease of absorption impressed me.”

Artisa was developed inside Dr. Truesdale’s high-volume Beverly Hills practice. As a portrait artist and pianist, he sees every face as a masterpiece. He built Artisa because surgical outcomes depend on skin quality — before and after the table.
“Skincare is not maintenance — it’s medicine. The right routine, maintained consistently, is more transformative than any single product or procedure. I built Artisa so everyone — regardless of skin tone — could access what I give my patients.”
— Dr. Carl Truesdale, MD Double Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon
