About Dr. Inder
Where Science Meets Personal Experience. My Story From Medicinal Chemist to Skincare Advocate. Hello, I’m Dr. Inder- a medicinal chemist, skincare formulator and founder of Dr. Inderʼs CellActive Skincare- Formulated to Perform. I was born and raised in Patiala, India, and later moved to the UK, where I earned my PhD from the University of Birmingham. For years, I dedicated myself to scientific research and teaching across the UK, Europe, Canada, and Australia. But despite my academic background, I faced a deeply personal skincare challenge - one that changed everything.
The Turning Point : My Battle with Pigmentation
Life was moving along smoothly - until after a holiday in Greece, when I began noticing dark spots on my face. I had developed melasma, a stubborn form of hyperpigmentation that I had never experienced before.
Despite my expertise, I struggled with both the emotional and physical toll of this condition. I tried countless
topical treatments - brightening creams, facials, serums - but nothing worked long-term.
It wasn’t until I discovered a clinical strength combination of active ingredients that worked on a cellular level that real progress began. My skin started to clear, and I refined my skincare routine based on how it responded.
This was a turning point - not just for my skin, but for my confidence.

Recognizing a Gap in the Skincare Industry
Through my journey, I realized that most skincare products on the market - then and now - are not designed with melanin-rich skin in mind. Most formulas are created for lighter skin tones and often ignore the unique sensitivities of darker complexions. I saw this gap and knew I had to do something about it.

A Holistic, Science-Driven Approach
I believe that healthy skin starts from within. My transformation didn’t come from one miracle product - it came from a complete shift in how I approached skincare. Alongside the set of right active ingredients, I focused on
- Nutrition
- Oral supplements
- Sun protection
- Mindful lifestyle changes

Complete Skin Transformation
The result? A complete skin transformation - and a renewed sense of self.
This journey became my mission: to help others, especially women of color, overcome pigmentation, acne, and premature ageing - and reclaim their glow and confidence.

The Global Skincare Program
In June 2023, I launched my Global Skincare Program, which now supports clients around the world in achieving clearer, healthier skin.
My formulas are clinically proven, backed by hundreds of scientific studies, and supported by global case studies - including my own.
