Dr. Carolyn Jacob is no stranger to high standards. As a Harvard-trained dermatologist and founder of Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, she’s spent her career defining excellence in skincare. But at home, she wears another title just as proudly—mom.
Juggling a demanding career and raising three children, Dr. Jacob understands that time is precious and efficiency is everything. That’s why she gravitates toward high-performance skincare that delivers results without unnecessary steps—the same philosophy that guides her work with patients.
For Mother’s Day, we’re pulling back the curtain on what’s behind the vanity of a woman who truly does it all. This year is even more special, as we’re celebrating the beauty lessons passed down through three generations—from Dr. Jacob’s mother to her and now to her daughters. From her approach to skincare as a doctor and a mother to the science-backed products she swears by, Dr. Jacob shares her insights on keeping beauty effortless, effective, and uncompromising.
