Product Description
-------------------
WE ARE NERDS We are innovators, formulators and skin-obsessed
thinkers who are taking skincare deeper. To create acne-free skin
and a lot more. HOW TO GET RID OF ACNE. THE NERD WAY. Side
effects suck. That’s why we’re obsessed with our mission and will
never stray from what we believe: skincare products shouldn’t
cause more problems than they solve. And they shouldn’t put your
at risk. When NERD helps your body do what it was meant to
do, your skin will show it. Which will wipe the cycle of
frustration and insecurity off your face for good. We use your
own facial bacteria to kill acne bacteria. All acne
products today kill all bacteria on your face with s
—even the essential ones for y and clear skin. Stop
compromising for side effects. We know how uncomfortable it is to
have redness, dryness and sensitivity on the face.

WHY NERD WORKS. WE SEE ACNE DIFFERENTLY.
Acne is caused by bacteria. Unfortunately, the usual suspects
when it comes to acne-fighting ingredients (benzoyl peroxide and
salicylic ) simply overkill. They wipe out the acne bacteria
on your skin... and the natural acne-fighters that keep skin
y and clear. They also strip so much moisture from your
skin—the same moisture that keeps your skin youthful—that your
skin won’t only dry and peel, but YOU can end up looking older
sooner.
Why your acne products don’t work? They create more problems
than than they solve. They use the same generic formulation that
either contain a percentage of benzoyl peroxide, salicylic ,
beta hydroxy or retinol. The s and are so
strong they kill the friendly bacteria that are essential for
your skin and make your skin red, flaky and sensitive.
Your skin becomes itchy and you get breakouts once you stop the
.
Acne Yep, your body already knows how to fight acne,
it just needs a little help! Essentially, we help the good
bacteria fight off the acne-causing bacteria. Think of the good
bacteria on your face as the outer layer of your immune system.
And here’s why fighting acne with your own immune system is so
much better than using harsh s (besides that it sounds
scientifically awesome): Instead of killing off the good
bacteria, we leverage it to 1) fight off the bad -> no acne 2)
keep facial ecosystem in balance -> no side effects (redness,
dryness, sensitivity, flakiness) 3) crowd out the space for
acne-causing bacteria to grow back -> less, manageable future
breakout

designed to 1. REPAIR acne skin - acne skin is usually damaged,
especially when not handled carefully. Every time you pop a
pimple, a small wound forms. 2. SOOTHE & HEAL skin suffering from
side effects of other acne s - Acne s which use
benzoyl peroxide or salicylic work by disrupting your facial
ecosystem and they dry out your skin in the process, leaving your
skin with side effects such as redness, sensitivity, flakiness
and dryness. 3. NOURISH extremely dry skin In fact, it is so
potent we would not recommend using on y skin. Just like we
wouldn’t need superman to defend a city with no crime.

state SOY PROTEIN SURFACTANT: gently removes the dirt and sebum

Science can powerfully enhance and beauty Living on our
face are millions of bacteria and other micro-organisms that make
up our unique facial flora. Some of that bacteria is really good
for our skin, just like the bacteria in our gut. And then there’s
the acne-causing bacteria. When there’s too much of it, you spend
the day avoiding mirrors. Skin care products today totally ignore
or are unaware of this invisible ecosystem and how it affects
your . Which is why so many of us feel like nothing ever
works. Nerd products are tailored to your facial flora, keeping
your skin at its iest, and you looking your best.
About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words.
Beauty through science.
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
My friends told me she had to with a towel covered her
pillowcase in high school because her acne products would stain
her pillowcase. And it's a wake-up call for us to look for a safe
and effective solution to help people who suffer from acne and
acne product side effects. Many have complained that their acne
products make their face red and sensitive. That's
because all current acne contain highly reactive
benzoyl peroxide or salicylic that would wipe out the entire
bacterial ecosystem on acne patient's faces. Or grab the
moistures off your face when benzoyl peroxide touches the
surfaces and decomposes. Thanks to the NIH's human microbiome
project we learned that the bacteria in our body is highly
associated with your . Most bacterial interactions are yet
to be discovered, preserving the commensal bacteria on your face
is essential for skin and they should be considered an
extra layer of your immune system. Our approach is to create
proprietary polymers to encourage S. epidermidis(a common
bacteria that live on your face) to produce more short chain
ty s to suppress acne causing bacteria and reduce
inflammations.
What makes your product special?
Our technology is a spin off from an university lab, we create
molecules that encourage a common facial bacteria to suppress the
growth of acne causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. No harsh
s, no collateral damages, no side effects.
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
The best part of our startup experience has been meeting and
working with some of the greatest industry talents from all over
the world to create products that exceed the expectations of our
customers.
