StackedSkincare
StackedSkincare is an American skincare company founded in 2012 by aesthetician Kerry Benjamin, a former technology executive who launched the brand following her lifelong struggle with eczema.

History
StackedSkincare was founded in 2012 by Kerry Benjamin. Her lifelong experience with severe eczema and recurrent MRSA infections motivated her to leave her career in technology, where she had worked at Microsoft and DoubleClick, and pursue a license in aesthetics at the age of 40. After opening a skincare practice in Los Angeles, Benjamin began combining professional treatments such as dermaplaning, high-frequency therapy, and chemical exfoliation.[3]
In 2015, she launched StackedSkincare’s product line to replicate these treatments in an at-home format. The brand grew through word of mouth and media features, with early traction from beauty editors who highlighted its chemical peels and treatment devices.[4]
