On November 1, 2026, DermWarehouse joined forces with Dermstore, one of the country’s largest online skincare retailers and part of UK-based THG.
Jason and Stefanie Parks, founders of The Media Captain, launched DermWarehouse in 2016. Their father, Dr. Alan Parks, was a Columbus dermatologist for more than 40 years and had access to professional-only skincare brands. After driving eCommerce growth for agency clients, Jason and Stefanie saw an opportunity to bring those brands online.
DermWarehouse’s first inventory sat in a closet at Dr. Parks’s practice, and the operation ran out of a spare room. The business eventually grew to more than 100 brands, thousands of products, and 145,000 customers. The same digital marketing and web development that The Media Captain provides for clients drove that growth.
Joining Dermstore gives DermWarehouse customers a bigger selection and a better experience, and with Dr. Parks retiring, the timing was right. It also lets Jason and Stefanie focus fully on The Media Captain.
“DermWarehouse has built a loyal customer base over the last 10 years. We want to congratulate Dr. Alan Parks on his retirement. We’re excited to welcome DermWarehouse’s customers to the Dermstore family and offer them our larger scale and product selection.”
– James Bonner, President of THG U.S. Retail
What sets The Media Captain apart is that its team has spent millions of its own dollars on advertising and used SEO and social media to grow its own customer base. That owner’s mindset shapes the strategy behind every client account.
