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.

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
