The Story Behind Randy
Randy Skincare was founded with a simple belief: taking care of yourself should feel good—naturally, confidently, and without apology.
Too often, skincare feels clinical, complicated, or like another obligation. We wanted something different. At Randy, self-care is about ease, intention, and a confidence—delivered with a wink.
On the surface, Randy is playful and a little cheeky. Underneath, it’s all substance. Our products are built with clean, science-backed ingredients—chosen because they work, not because they trend. Thoughtful formulations. Straightforward routines. Skincare that fits into real life.
But Randy is more than products.
Randy is an LGBTQ+-owned and operated brand, and the name itself is intentional. It’s a nod to a generation of gay and queer men who came before us—men who fought for the right to live openly, love freely, and show up as themselves when the stakes were impossibly high.
Randy was the kind of person who showed up. Someone who had lived a hard life, yet still brought humor, warmth, and care to the people around him. He represented resilience without bitterness—choosing connection, generosity, and joy even when the world made that difficult.
This brand is an ode to that spirit.
In a moment when many hard-won rights are once again being challenged, Randy exists with intention. We are standing on Randy’s shoulders—and carrying that legacy forward.
That intention is why our 10% Give-Back Pledge isn’t an add-on; it’s foundational to who we are. Each year, 10% of our profits are donated to vetted LGBTQ+-serving organizations working on the front lines to address HIV/AIDS, LGBTQ+ homelessness, the rollback of our rights, and the work of building community, safety, and inclusion.
Randy was born in Austin—a city that’s bold, creative, and a little weird in the best way. That energy carries through everything we do: approachable on the surface, grounded in substance, and unapologetically authentic.
Because looking good is great.
But showing up—for yourself and for each other—matters more.
