About Functionalab

Functionalab is a Montreal skincare brand making medical-grade cosmeceutical products, along with nutricosmetics, meaning supplements meant to support the skin from within. Its formulas are developed with a team of dermatologists. The approach is clinical and science-led rather than fragrance-led.

It suits people who want targeted skincare for specific concerns and like knowing that dermatologists had a hand in the formulas. It can be a good fit if you are building a simple routine around a few active products. Quebec winters are hard on skin, so the cold months are a natural time to review your routine and ask for advice.
