Our Story

Dermatologist Founded

Dr. David Kim, M.D. M.S. is a Stanford-trained board-certified dermatologist in New York City. As an expert, Dr. Kim sees the impact of sun damage up-close on a daily basis and has been frustrated by the lack of innovation in suncare. He founded LIGHTSAVER (est. 2023) to bring clinical suncare with skincare benefits.

“Sunscreen is the best anti-aging skincare product and you should wear it every day all year round!”

— Dr. David Kim, Founder

Skin cancer affects 20% of Americans in their lifetime – that’s 1 out of every 5 people.*

LIGHTSAVER is on a mission to make daily sun protection mindlessly easy and to give suncare a long-overdue makeover. Our clinical sunscreens are lightweight and formulated with innovative ingredients to help restore, brighten, hydrate and soothe the skin. Think Korean sunscreen textures with U.S.-approved UV filters that go above and beyond!
