Skin care company Beiersdorf has invested in the Düsseldorf-based start-up dermanostic through its OSCAR&PAUL Venture Capital unit.
Dermanostic is active in the field of digital health and offers app-based dermatological diagnosis. The service can be booked around the clock for 25 euros irrespective of location, with the diagnoses then performed by experienced dermatologists within 24 hours once the patients have uploaded three photos and filled out a medical history questionnaire. In less serious cases in particular, dermanostic can eliminate the need for a patient to visit a dermatological practice and can provide fast solutions for an individual skin problem, for example by sending the prescription by mail or digitally via online pharmacies.
This is corroborated by Cornelius Becker, Beiersdorf’s head of Derma: “The collaboration with dermanostic is a relevant aspect of our digitalization strategy. Especially in these times of COVID-19 and physical distancing, we must find digital ways of offering our consumers the right advice to solve their skin problems. By engaging in close communication with the experts at dermanostic, we can learn from one another and thus do even better at establishing digital closeness with our consumers.”
“We are delighted to have Beiersdorf at our side as a strong and experienced partner,” says Dr. Ole Martin, managing director and cofounder of dermanostic, commenting on the Beiersdorf investment.”

The Next Level in Professional Skincare Advice
Ascan Voswinckel, head of OSCAR&PAUL Beiersdorf Venture Capital, sees this latest investment and the resultant collaboration with dermanostic as an important step: “We believe digital health and teledermatology offer huge potential, especially among the younger target group. Digital dermatologist appointments offer our consumers significant added value as they allow for swift, straightforward, inexpensive, and professional advice regarding their skin indication. As such, dermanostic’s new digital service is the perfect fit for our Eucerin brand and innovatively complements our dermocosmetic brand’s digital consumer journey.”This is corroborated by Cornelius Becker, Beiersdorf’s head of Derma: “The collaboration with dermanostic is a relevant aspect of our digitalization strategy.
