As DERMASCOPE celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is a great time to reflect on the extraordinary legacy that both DERMASCOPE and GlyMed Plus have built over the years. With decades of shared history, DERMASCOPE has partnered with GlyMed Plus for many years because of one simple truth: GlyMed Plus continues to deliver on its promise of transforming lives through skin care.
GlyMed Plus is a leader in the professional skin care industry, empowering aestheticians, medical professionals, and skin care enthusiasts with the tools they need to achieve real, lasting results. From humble beginnings to an internationally recognized brand, GlyMed Plus has proven that excellence in skin care is both an art and a science. As the company looks to the future, it remains committed to its mission of delivering results that not only enhance skin but restore self-confidence by elevating the beauty and health of every client.
THE BIRTH OF GLYMED PLUS
Founded in 1991 in Concord, California, GlyMed Plus began as an extension of the Advanced Aesthetics Training Institute. It was clear to founder Christine Heathman that the professional skin care market was lacking products that truly delivered on their promises. She also saw a need for safe and effective solutions for all ethnicities. As a licensed master aesthetician and a European-certified skin care expert, Heathman’s passion for helping people achieve healthy, glowing skin led her to create a reliable, pharmaceutical-grade skin care line for all skin types, Fitzpatrick types, and skin conditions.
Christine Heathman is a trailblazer in the field of skin care, not only for her expertise as a formulator and educator but also for pioneering the development of advanced skin care protocols. Her contributions to the field are vast. She was nominated as an AIA Legend by DERMASCOPE in 2013, has authored multiple skin science manuals, and has written hundreds of editorials that have influenced the industry. She also initiated the first master aesthetics license in Utah, a certification that has since been adopted by other states.
Heathman’s pioneering spirit has been instrumental in charting GlyMed’s path as a leader in professional skin care products and education. The brand’s focus on formulating products that target various skin conditions has made it a go-to choice for skin care professionals worldwide.
PIONEERING INGREDIENTS FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS
Over the years, GlyMed Plus has established itself as a pioneer in skin care innovation. Notably, the brand was among the first to introduce alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) into clinical skin care treatments in the United States. Incorporating cutting-edge ingredients has remained a core aspect of GlyMed’s success.
One of the cornerstones of GlyMed Plus products is the use of pharmaceutical-grade ingredients and natural botanicals. Whether targeting acne, pigmentation, or fine lines, GlyMed skin care delivers results professionals can trust.
AWARD-WINNING INNOVATIONS
GlyMed Plus has received numerous accolades for its progressive formulations, including multiple DERMASCOPE Aesthetician’s Choice Awards. Their products, such as Age Defying Masque and Foaming Cleanser with Amino Acids, have been recognized by DERMASCOPE for their outstanding quality and efficacy. This year, GlyMed Plus won four DERMASCOPE Aesthetician’s Choice Awards including CBD Age Delay Dew for Best CBD Serum, Idyllic Cleanser for Best Backbar Cleanser, CBD Hydratherapy Masque for Best Topical CBD, and CBD Skin Mist for Best Soothing Mist. These awards substantiate GlyMed’s dedication to leveraging the latest skin care technology while remaining rooted in scientific research.
A BOLD NEW LOOK
In 2023, GlyMed Plus revitalized its brand with a fresh look to reflect the quality of its formulations. While the brand’s reputation as a skin care authority is well-established, it was only through experience that customers recognized its value. By enhancing the brand’s visual appeal, GlyMed has made it possible for more individuals to enjoy the effects of its unmatched formulations. Its products are now recognized for both their effectiveness and sleek packaging, embodying the brand’s commitment to excellence.
EXPANDING HORIZONS
GlyMed’s growth is not just limited to the United States. In addition to being a certified product provider in the European Union and United Kingdom, the brand has expanded its reach through partnerships with distributors in Europe, Canada, Southeast Asia, Central, and South America. By partnering with skin care professionals across these regions, the company has been able to introduce its high-quality, results-driven products to a global audience.
Additionally, GlyMed Plus has become a leader in the CBD skin care market, offering cutting-edge formulas that are safe and effective. Each CBD product is registered through the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, ensuring compliance with state regulations. GlyMed is also one of the few skin care companies that is certified by Google, META, and other governing bodies, demonstrating its commitment to industry standards and consumer safety.
WHAT SETS GLYMED APART
While many skin care lines claim to offer results, GlyMed Plus goes beyond mere promises. The brand’s commitment to using the highest-quality ingredients and maintaining rigorous standards sets it apart from other professional skin care brands. GlyMed’s focus on providing unmatched pharmaceutical-grade products ensures each formulation is pure, potent, and effective in addressing a wide range of skin concerns.
Furthermore, GlyMed Plus products are exclusively sold through licensed skin care professionals. This exclusivity guarantees GlyMed Plus remains a trusted brand in the hands of professionals, who have the knowledge and expertise to administer treatments and give proper skin care instructions.
What truly differentiates GlyMed Plus from its competitors is its comprehensive approach to skin care. The brand offers a full range of products designed to target specific skin concerns, such as acne, aging, and hyperpigmentation. It also provides highly-effective chemical peels, including solutions for new clients, sensitive skin types, and deeper Fitzpatrick types, so everyone can benefit from these advanced treatments.
POURING INTO PROFESSIONALS
In addition to offering exceptional skin care products, GlyMed Plus empowers professionals with business solutions to help them thrive in a competitive industry.

Additionally, the company provides protocols, homecare regimens, allergy lists, and other resources to help skin care specialists feel comfortable integrating GlyMed products into their practice.
Advanced Training
GlyMed Plus also offers the GlyMed Advanced Aesthetic Institute (GAAIN), an online learning platform that provides skin professionals with the knowledge, experience, and confidence to elevate their practices. GAAIN features highly visual, interactive lessons, treatment demonstrations, and protocols to help professionals stay ahead of industry trends and refine their skills.
The GAAIN platform is in addition to the numerous courses GlyMed hosts throughout the year.
