Masculinity can be a difficult thing to talk about. There’s this connotation in modern pop culture that masculinity has to be synonymous with toxicity or stoicism, that dudes are either angrily screaming at people about their beliefs or just unemotively working their way through life, with no room for anything in between. But in reality, there’s a whole spectrum of emotions and preferences for dudes, and no one of them is any less masculine than another. True masculinity is simply being comfortable in your skin, and Derm Dude is an expert in that.
Derm Dude is a bold men’s skincare brand making waves by solving personal care problems with humor and simplicity. Some of their popular products, like Ball Cream and Foot Cream, are improving men’s grooming routines in a fun and highly effective way.
Introduction to Derm Dude™
Derm Dude is a men’s skincare and grooming brand created by Drew Plotkin, who has an extensive background in celebrity beauty and wellness brands. Drew’s own experiences with tattoos, beards, and personal grooming throughout his life led him to create Derm Dude, a brand dedicated to real dudes with real needs.
Drew, aka “The Chief Dude Officer,” created Derm Dude during a challenging time, and it became the gift that kept on giving. Now, Drew shares that gift with the whole world through fun, approachable, and effective products for men, with a humorous touch that breaks down the stigma surrounding men’s grooming. He often states in marketing materials, “I proudly serve the public’s pubics.”
Drew joined social media for the first time in his life to get the message out about Derm Dude. With no social media experience or training, the first video Drew did on TikTok for Happy Sack Nut Love Cooling Cream was an instant viral hit, racking up millions of views. In a short window, Drew had viral videos, millions of views, and appearances on major network programs, including CBS, FOX, NBC, and more. It just proves you can’t fake “real.”
Drew’s Story
Drew spent almost 20 years helping develop and market successful celebrity skincare, beauty, and wellness brands that grossed over $1.5 billion in total sales.
During the pandemic lockdown, when he was turning 50 and going through a divorce, he realized that despite the existence of a mind-boggling number of women’s personal care brands, there were no genuine, truly effective brands developed for men/dudes. So, Drew started Derm Dude for guys like himself—guys who work hard and play hard but want to smell and feel good in all the right places.
Drew also leaned heavily into humor to make the company fun and approachable while breaking down preexisting stigmas and barriers for guys to feel confident. That’s why the company’s products have memorable names such as Happy Sack Nut Love Cooling Cream, Ballgasmic Sack Wash, Amaze Balls Deodorizing Ball Spray, Holy Foot Cream, Daily Head Shampoo and Conditioner. Drew says, “But as much as we joke and like to have fun, we take our formulas and results extremely, fanatically seriously.”

Looking Ahead
Drew’s primary goal with Derm Dude is to help bring as many dudes as possible into the normal, healthy, hygienic world of men’s skincare and personal grooming. He wants young men to realize that taking proper hygienic care of themselves is a manly thing to do, which is why the company has excellent men’s skincare.
