287: How Desiree Verdejo Created a Solution for Hyperpigmentation With Her Brand Hyper Skin

This week in the guest chair we have Desiree Verdejo, founder of Hyper Skin. As a Black woman with acne-prone skin that’s subject to dark spots and hyperpigmentation, Desiree never saw people who looked like her in the skincare space. That’s why she set out to create a simple, results-oriented, multicultural skincare brand that celebrates and offers products for everyone’s skin in its various stages.

In this episode we discuss:

• What moved Desiree to create Hyper Skin
• How running her beauty boutique led her to realize what concerns her customers had with their skin, therefore creating Hyper Skin
• How she was able to partner with Sephora to get Hyper Skin in stores
• What was her marketing process when she launched her product & the strategy behind focusing on only one product
• The supply chain issues that come with being self funded and having a partnership like Sephora + much more..
