FAQs
Dr. Whitney Bowe Beauty is skincare created by one of the most in-demand dermatologists in the country. We empower you with clinically-proven, synergistic Outer Skincare + Inner Skincare solutions that deliver results you can see and feel. 100% of our products are clinically-tested.
We believe in transparency, education, and sustainability.
Our founder and CEO, Dr. Whitney Bowe, is a renowned, award-winning, board-certified dermatologist and scientist based in New York. Some know her as the “3D Derm” because of her multidimensional approach to skincare. You can learn more about her here.
100% of our products are clinically-tested at third party laboratories to ensure they deliver transformative results. We test the final formulation you have in your Dr. Whitney Bowe Beauty bottle. You can learn more about our clinical protocols here.
Our products do meet, and exceed the EU’s “clean” standards. However, we do not use labels such as ‘clean,’ or “natural” as they have no consistent definition, and tell you nothing about a product’s safety or efficacy.
Dr. Whitney Bowe Beauty products combine the power of naturally-derived, scientifically-optimized ingredients that are clinically-proven to be effective and safe. Our products are also cruelty-free, plus sustainably sourced and packaged.
We are committed to bringing you the very best formulas—being “natural” or “organic” does not always yield the best results for your skin, nor the most sustainable product. You can read more about our approach here.

It became clear to our founder, Dr. Whitney Bowe, after decades of treating thousands of patients that we need to evolve how we approach skincare. Skincare is an outside and inside job–it isn’t just about what you apply on your skin, it’s what you put in your body, and also your overall wellness. In particular, the gut-skin connection is real. If your gut is imbalanced, you’ll see that reflected in your skin as dryness, breakouts, sensitive skin, and other recurring skin conditions.
Without treating skin from both the inside and the outside, you’re missing an essential ‘layer’ to your skincare routine. At DWB Beauty, we take a three-dimensional approach to skincare—factoring in the skin-gut-mind connection—pairing highly-effective “Outer Skincare” (topical formulations) with skin-focused, convenient “Inner Skincare” solutions (ingestible nutrients) that work synergistically to give you healthy, radiant skin.
You can learn more about your skin, and how to take care of it like a dermatologist at Derm Scribbles.
Absolutely. Our founder, Dr. Whitney Bowe, has sensitive skin and personally formulates and tests each product with sensitive skin in mind.
We also use third-party labs to test our formulations for any irritation using specific tests designed to detect both allergies or irritation. Following that, we then make sure at least 50% of our clinical study subjects have sensitive skin, as an additional way to ensure our products are well tolerated even by the most sensitive skin.
That said, we always recommend doing a small patch test first. You can learn more about our testing protocols here.
The FDA does not "approve" dietary supplements. However, all of our DWB Beauty Inner Skincare ingredients are supplied by FDA-registered and inspected facilities, and all of our final products are manufactured in FDA-registered and inspected facilities.
