Our Philosophy

TRNR Skin is a collection of science-first formulas developed and approved by board-certified, Harvard-trained dermatologist Dr. Ryan Turner.

Our goal is to set a precedent within the skincare industry. With so many products on the market, it can feel nearly impossible to find something that you can trust to do good and be good for your skin.

We formulate to the highest possible standards, leaving out any questionable ingredients while concentrating on natural, plant-based ones, all with a focus on ingredients backed by research that demonstrates their efficacy. Our collection is developed with integrity, inclusivity, transparency, and clinical research for products you can trust, regardless of your skin type, concerns, or goals.

THE TRNR Method

At TRNR Skin, we believe that it should be easy to achieve healthy, glowing, and beautiful-looking skin.

We created the TRNR Method, a straightforward system of three natural, hardworking products—cleanser, serum, and moisturizer—that can be used by all skin types to deliver concentrated, powerful actives and efficacious plant extracts without causing irritation or sensitivity.

By following the streamlined TRNR Method, you’ll treat your skin with everything it needs to help it function at its best without the need for a more time-consuming regimen.

Our Brand Values

Approachable

Though our collection is research-driven and science-backed, we’re still warm and friendly. We want an interaction with our brand to feel like a visit with Dr. Turner himself, who is always kind, relatable, understanding, empathetic, and communicative.

Clinical

Our co-founder and Chief Product and Vision Officer, Dr. Ryan Turner, is a board-certified, Harvard-trained dermatologist with 15 years of private practice and a clinic in New York City. He personally develops every product, all of which are backed by clinical data to support their efficacy. TRNR Skin speaks from a place of authority because we have years of medical training, research, and experience to support our perspective.

Educational

We don’t shy away from complex concepts, whether that’s how licorice root works within the skin to inhibit hyperpigmentation or the compounds found within traditional plant remedies used by indigenous populations across the world. We break these topics down in a way that’s straightforward and easy to digest.

Informed

We have strong opinions on what works and what doesn’t when it comes to skincare, and we share those opinions clearly and decisively without any fluff.

Welcoming

TRNR Skin is rooted in inclusivity. No matter your race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, or budget, we invite everyone, regardless of their skin type, to use our formulas. We’re not here to judge you—we’re here to help you.

Our Consumer Commitment

Skincare should be inclusive.

TRNR products are for all individuals. No matter your identity, lifestyle, or skin type, our formulas can fit seamlessly into your routine.

Skincare should be straightforward.

The TRNR Method is three simple steps designed to minimize user effort and maximize efficacy.

Skincare should be recommended by a skincare expert

Dr. Turner hand-selects every single ingredient used in each formula to ensure they meet his stringent standards of being safe, clean, hardworking, and backed by science, from plant-based actives to nature-derived preservatives.

Skincare claims should be substantiated.

TRNR Skin develops its products using plant-based ingredients and compounds supported by scientific and clinical data. Instead of looking at market trends for inspiration, we create formulas based on research and studies that demonstrate the efficacy, performance, and results of each individual active.

Skincare should be good for you.

From our actives to our preservatives, the ingredients in TRNR Skin products are gentle, effective, and naturally derived. You’ll never find harsh or harmful synthetics on our ingredient lists. We formulate to the highest industry standards—those of the European Union Annex II—and exclude more than 1,300 ingredients from our product development process for safer, skin-loving formulas.

Skincare should be good for the environment.

All of our products are clean, vegan, cruelty free, and sulfate free. Every formula is produced in recyclable packaging, from our sugar cane-derived tubes to our biodegradable boxes, to reduce your regimen’s carbon footprint.
