Dermacia

Dermacia, Inc. was a biotechnology-focused cosmeceutical company primarily known for developing and marketing Lycogel, a breathable camouflage and skincare line designed for post-operative recovery. The company's core innovation was its Triple Silica Gel technology, which created a breathable matrix allowing oxygen, moisture, and nutrients to reach the skin while providing coverage for redness and bruising. This technology was marketed as a significant advancement for patients recovering from aesthetic procedures such as laser resurfacing and chemical peels. Although the company achieved commercial status with its product line, it faced significant financial and legal challenges, eventually leading to bankruptcy and the sale of its assets. Today, the Lycogel brand continues to exist under different ownership, while the original Dermacia entity is inactive.
