Founder Story

About us

From my earliest steps in medicine, one thought has never left me: the skin – our largest organ – is more than just an outer layer. It mirrors our health, our lifestyle, and our wellbeing.

Early on, a defining question came up for me: should I devote myself to research and active-ingredient development – perhaps in France or the USA – or take the medical path, where direct contact with people takes centre stage?

Today I know: becoming a doctor was the right choice. In dermatology, both worlds come together – helping people while opening up new paths in skincare through knowledge of active ingredients.

With around 10,000 appointments per year, I have accompanied thousands of patients and developed a deep understanding of the skin's needs. Every skin is different – but every skin deserves the best care.

The wish for my own creams has been with me for more than 25 years. Even during my studies I dreamed of researching active ingredients and developing the best formulations. My work with patients kept this dream waiting – today I am finally able to fulfil it, with the Dr. Peri SkinCare line.

Why my own line? Because every day I see where other products reach their limits: too superficial, or too focused on marketing rather than substance. It was important to me to combine scientifically substantiated active ingredients, medical know-how, and years of experience – for products that truly make a difference.

Dr. Peri SkinCare Linie

Dr. Peri SkinCare Linie

Dr. Peri Skincare is that line. Developed over a period of two years out of my daily practice in Vienna, formulated together with an Austrian contract manufacturer, tested with my patients – launched in December 2025. No marketing promises. No unnecessary packaging. Only what truly works after 20 years of dermatology.

The Dr. Peri SkinCare products are the result of expertise, passion, and patience. They rest on four essential principles:

  • Medical foundation Every product is based on dermatological experience and scientific evidence. Only active ingredients whose efficacy has been proven find a place in my formulations.
  • Highest quality From the selection of raw materials to manufacturing, I place the greatest emphasis on purity, tolerability, and efficacy. The skin is a sensitive organ – it deserves only the best.
  • Holistic thinking Skincare means more than cosmetics. It is part of a holistic medical concept that connects skin conditions, prevention, and aesthetics.
  • Passion and authenticity This line is not a trend product, but the fulfilment of a lifelong dream. It has grown out of years of experience, observation, and dedication.

Every single product tells part of my story. Whether cleanser, serum, or cream – they are all carefully developed to meet the highest standards. My motivation was never to bring „just another" cosmetic brand to market, but to create a skincare line that combines the best of medicine and cosmetics.

The road here was long. Between vision and realisation lay many years of intensive work at the practice, countless conversations with patients, numerous training programmes, and scientific engagement with active ingredients. But it took exactly that time to shape the line into what I can now present with pride: honest, effective, thoughtful, and unique.

I did not develop this line because I wanted a cosmetic brand. I developed it because, after every consultation, my patients asked me:

What should I use at home?

Now I have an honest answer.
