SunSolve Skincare Advisor by SunSolve MD and Revieve

As the conversation around sun protection continues to evolve beyond seasonal sunscreen reminders, a new digital initiative is redefining how patients and clinicians engage with SPF. At the forefront of this innovation is Irina Mazur, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at Revieve, whose company recently partnered with SunSolve MD to launch the AI-powered SunSolve Skincare Advisor. This collaboration merges cutting-edge artificial intelligence with evidence-based skincare to deliver real-time, personalized sun protection guidance. In this Q&A, Mazur discusses how this partnership is using AI to close the education gap around sun care, promote year-round SPF use, and empower patients to prioritize long-term skin health in an increasingly digital world

DT: What is the significance of this partnership between Revieve and SunSolveMD? How do the philosophies of the two brands complement one another?

Mazur: Revieve is proud to partner with SunSolve MD, a newly founded, science-driven sun protection brand developed by dermatologists to put education and skin health at the forefront. Together, we have launched the SunSolve Skincare Advisor, a first-of-its-kind skin analysis and sun care experience that transforms the way we think about sunscreen as the foundation of an effective skincare routine.

Valuing personalization, efficiency, and innovation, both Revieve and SunSolve MD are committed to empowering consumers to make confident skincare decisions that work best for them. Working to reduce skin cancer risk, promote daily SPF use, and set a new standard for proactive, preventative, and science-backed skincare, SunSolve MD is a brand built for the modern consumer. Similarly, Revieve leads in next-generation beauty technology, elevating personalized digital experiences for today’s tech-savvy beauty consumer. Combining our proprietary AI technology with SunSolve MD’s innovative products, we are reshaping how consumers approach sun care and better understand it as a foundational step in skin health.

DT: What do you want dermatologists to know about this collaboration? How is it reshaping skin care personalization and filling a gap in the market?

Mazur: In collaborating with SunSolve MD, our focus is to make sun protection education more engaging, accessible, and personalized. By combining SunSolve MD’s medical-grade expertise with our AI technology, we are working to bridge the gap between dermatologist-backed product recommendations and the skincare decisions consumers make every day. Many consumers often feel overwhelmed by the large number of skincare products on the market to choose from. At the same time, seeing a dermatologist may be intimidating or inaccessible to some. This collaboration meets people where they are, bringing expert insights to consumers in a way that feels approachable, personalized, and rooted in preventative care.

Together, we are scaling medically-informed, individualized guidance that goes beyond a dermatology clinic, reframing SPF as a foundational health practice. Taking into account more than just skin appearance, but also lifestyle, environmental exposure, and user behavior, the solution offers a holistic view of the user’s sun care needs, helping them understand exactly why a product is right for them. Through this solution, we help address a lack of access to personalized SPF guidance outside of a dermatology clinic, as well as ease confusion or overwhelm in consumers.

Our solution does not aim to replace in-clinic dermatology visits, but instead, it works to extend their impact. For those who may not have access to expert care, this partnership offers a meaningful starting point. Our solution also better informs patients before they even come into a clinic, encouraging them to think critically about sun care, ready to ask better questions, make better choices, and take sun protection seriously year-round. Together, we can spread awareness about the importance of sun protection and emphasize the fact that skincare solutions are not one-size-fits-all. Through our AI-powered SPF recommendations, we ultimately want to help users identify their skin concerns, understand the vital role sun protection plays in skincare, and share products that target their specific goals.

DT: How will Revieve’s technology shift patient perception and overall education/awareness on SPF?

Mazur: What truly sets this partnership apart is the educational transformation. The SunSolve Skincare Advisor technology solution not only raises awareness about the importance of sun protection, as over 90% of visible aging is caused by sun damage, and daily sun protection is non-negotiable, but it also simplifies the process, making it quick and intuitive for anyone to use. In just a few minutes, users take a simple selfie and answer lifestyle questions, receiving a personalized skin score, along with tailored skin health insights. By visualizing skin conditions and correlating them with lifestyle and environmental factors, users gain a deeper understanding of how UV exposure impacts their personal skin health, not just in the summer, but also year-round. Providing a deeper look into key concerns like smoothness, uneven skin tone, redness, melasma, texture, and more, the digital experience brings attention to skin health topics consumers may not have even considered. Rather than simply recommending SPF, the experience shows why it matters for each individual. Through this process, we remove the intimidation with sun care and instead empower consumers with clear, actionable insights and solutions that directly target their needs and provide year-round protection. With SunSolve MD’s innovative line of products that merge SPF with benefits like hydration, anti-aging, pollution defense, and DNA repair, we are helping consumers see sun care for what it is: an essential part of everyday skincare.. Ultimately, this collaboration is not just about selling SPF; it’s about reshaping consumer behavior and mindset, turning a simple selfie into a deeper conversation about lifelong skin health.

DT: Is there anything else you’d like to mention that you think is important for our audience of clinicians to know?

Mazur: At Revieve, we recognize the vital role clinicians and healthcare professionals play in guiding patients through their skincare journeys. As trusted experts, they have a unique opportunity to help patients feel more comfortable with their skin concerns while providing the education and support needed to take the next step in their skincare.

We encourage clinicians to explore and embrace technology innovation to not only promote proactive, preventive care but also empower their patients to make skincare more approachable and easier to understand. By leveraging new technologies, clinicians can stay ahead of evolving beauty demands and trends, ultimately adapting their offerings to better serve their patients and build long-term trust.

The reality is that most consumers aren’t making skincare decisions in a dermatology clinic, but online, in-store, or in front of their mirror, potentially influenced by misinformation. That is where this solution comes in, serving as a digital extension of a clinician’s voice, using AI to turn a selfie and short quiz into a real-time educational moment, empowering users to understand their skin and make more informed decisions. By meeting patients where they are, digitally and visually, clinicians can support pre-consultation awareness, reduce the spread of misinformation, and make the most of their limited time with patients in person. We believe this is the future of hybrid skincare: where clinical insight, consumer technology, and AI personalization work hand in hand to drive healthier habits, better outcomes, and more confident, skin-aware individuals.
