Historically, skin care has been constrained to a generic approach of product development research, product development, and clinical testing that is not representative of client diversity or need. This has created two orthogonal client problems which can be referred to as the efficacy problem and selection problem.

Troels Marstrand earned his Ph.D in bioinformatics from Copenhagen University and completed his post-doctoral research at Princeton University. Joining LEO Pharma, Marstrand worked on multiple projects ranging from early drug development to clinical research within medical dermatology. He was part of the founding team for the LEO Pharma Innovation Hub in Boston, MA which focused on noninvasive measurements of skin health. With a deep desire to bring precision medicine to fruition in dermatology, he co-founded Revea to take a scientific approach that puts the client at the center of skin care and increases diversity in the industry.
