Welcome to KITAVA Island

A real-life tropical island where acne does not exist. This is our inspiration. 

Nature. Science. Simplicity. 

Our Mission

KitavaMD wants you to believe in better. We are on a mission to change the beliefs around natural skincare by creating products that actually work. We believe that there is a perfect balance between science and nature and there shouldn’t be a sacrifice in quality or results. 

Our FORMULAS

We only use the highest-quality ingredients, from Tea Tree Oil to Aloe Leaf Juice. Each product’s formula is rigorously tested for efficacy and optimized for maximum tolerability. Even the most active ingredients are safe and gentle for your skin.

Our FOUNDING DOCTORS

Dr. Justin Gordon and Dr. Paru Chaudhari met while at residency at Stanford University and shared a vision to create an entirely new acne regimen for their patients who needed alternatives to prescription medications. After 3 years of extensive research and development, they founded KitavaMD.
