DR MACRENE'S STORY

The MD-PhD Dermatologist Who Wrote the Books on Skin

The first to coin the term actives and to pioneer peptides in skincare, the Derm-Scientist formulates with proven actives to restore natural beauty through a simple skincare routine instead of cosmetic procedures.

HANDMADE IN GERMANY - 100% COMBED WOOL - PLASTIC FREE 

The Art of Natural Luxury

Dr. Macrene, renowned dermatologist and founder of MACRENE actives, makes her debut in fashion with The Aphrodite Tote and Sophia Clutch. Crafted without plastics, chemicals, or synthetic fibers. The Sophia doubles as a polished evening bag; the Aphrodite fits a laptop flat and travels as a weekender or under-seat carry-on. Effortless elegance, from the inside out.

You shouldn't need cosmetic procedures to have great skin.

Patented Dermatologic Science. 37 Classes of Plant Actives. Formulated by an MD/PhD.

With more active ingredients per formula than any comparable line, DR. MACRENE actives was built in a research laboratory by a dual board-certified dermatologist and Harvard scientist. Not to supplement clinical procedures. To replace the need for them.

DR. MACRENE - Dermatologist Scientist

Macrene Alexiades, MD, PhD | Dual Board-Certified Dermatologist (US & EU) | Founder & Formulator

I believe you shouldn’t need cosmetic procedures to have great skin. For over 40 years, I’ve studied skin biology, genetics, and plant-based actives to create formulas that work at the source — addressing aging and skin health through dermatologic science, not trends or quick fixes.

I’m dual board-certified in dermatology in the US and EU and hold BA, MD and PhD degrees in medicine and genetics from Harvard. Every product is personally formulated to replace the need for cosmetic procedures, combining clean, effective science with decades of research.
