Dr. Ebru Karpuzoglu
MSc. PhD. Immunology & Molecular Medicine
Dr. Ebru Karpuzoglu is an immunologist and molecular medicine specialist with over 30 years of research into how the immune system, hormones and chronic inflammation affect skin. After seeing her father’s cancer treatments impact his skin and struggling with her own acne and sensitivity, she reached one clear conclusion: traditional skincare was failing to address the root cause at the cellular level.
She created Dermoimmuno Beauty Technology, a scientific approach to visibly support the skin barrier and microbiome and to help combat visible signs of inflammaging.
From this work, AveSeena was born as the only science-backed skincare line created by an immunologist for everyone who wants their skin to look and feel its best. Award-winning AveSeena is trusted by scientists, doctors, influencers and skincare lovers worldwide.
Inflammaging, defined as chronic, low-grade, systemic inflammation that increases with age in the absence of overt infection, is now recognized as a driver of cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, metabolic, and autoimmune disorders.
