About Amy:
Amy Chiu is the CEO and founder of Dear Brightly. After having experienced the transformational benefits of a prescription-strength retinoid, but the pain and friction of getting one, Dear Brightly was born. Dear Brightly makes it really easy to get a prescription-strength retinoid online and from the comfort of your home. For overall wellbeing, we often turn to exercise. But how do we keep our skin fit? The answer (and we’ll shout it from the rooftops!) is retinoids. Dear Brightly dermatologists tailor-make your formula and help you find the retinoid routine that's just right for your skin. Most importantly, we motivate you to stick with it-like any good coach.
