Regimen Lab makes skincare products for skincare people. We use rigorously peer reviewed science. We test with real people like you. And we formulate without compromise from our lab in Toronto, Ontario.
Our skincare journey started the same way everyone’s does – on a quest for better skin. When we looked into it, we realized that so few brands were using real, rigorous science in their products. We figured out that the same few factories were making both the cheap stuff and the expensive stuff. And none of them were truly using effective formulations and concentrations.
So we started to make some products of our own; doing research and formulating products. After obsessing over the research, we obsessed over the product. How it felt, the way it absorbed, how it layered with other products. We reached out to a few friends and skincare geeks to help test them, and soon we had hundreds of people testing thousands of iterations of our products. And they worked for us and others. Thus, that’s how we ended up with the products we have today and how Regimen Lab was created.
A skincare company that cares about skin?
It’s an open industry secret that almost every skincare brand outsources the formulation and production of their products.
Making real science-based skincare is a delicate and dedicated process. The same ingredient from two different suppliers can drastically change a product. It’s the kind of detail you notice when you test 300 prototypes before taking a product for market.
The point is this: we exist in an industry that spends more time thinking about how to market a product than how to make it. And we’re trying to make it better by doing something different.
Hard Science + Clean Conscience
We didn’t set out to manufacture our own products or build our own lab. It would have been so much easier not to.
But because of our experience in the industry, and after extensive vetting, we knew we couldn’t trust a third party to stick to our obsessive standards.
That’s why we formulate and produce everything we sell ourselves in our Toronto lab.
How we’re trying to be different.
Every Regimen Lab product starts with science. We never include ingredients just for vanity or label appeal. If it isn’t essential to the formula, you won’t find it in the product.
Every active ingredient we use is backed by peer-reviewed science (e.g. clinical trials). And we don’t dilute the good stuff. We list the % of key ingredients so you don’t have to take our word for it.
We also put a lot of care and research into how we deliver actives to the skin. Our products always have the proper pH and delivery mechanisms to ensure that they stay as stable and effective as the day we made them.
