Funding to accelerate commercialization of Re-Q and expand pipeline built on breakthrough science targeting the biology of skin aging
CARLSBAD, Calif., June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rapalogix Health, a biotechnology company pioneering a new category of longevity-based skin health, today announced the successful closing of a $20 million Series A financing round co-led by Woodline Partners and GordonMD Global Investments LP. The proceeds will support the rapid commercial expansion of Re-Q Health™ (Re-Q), the company's professional skincare line, while advancing a pipeline of next-generation products designed to address the underlying biological mechanisms of skin aging.
Founded by skin longevity scientist Rahul Mehta, PhD, renowned dermatologist Doris Day, MD, and leading healthcare executive Brent Saunders, Rapalogix was created with a simple but ambitious vision: to translate advances in longevity science into products that help people maintain healthier, more resilient skin.
While most skincare products target the visible signs of aging, Rapalogix is focused on the biology that drives aging itself. The company's scientific platform is built around TORC1, one of the most extensively studied cellular pathways associated with aging and age-related decline.
"This financing marks a significant milestone for Rapalogix and reflects the strength of the science underlying our platform," said Dr. Mehta, CEO of Rapalogix Health. "We're building toward a future where skin health and longevity are addressed at the cellular level, and this capital enables us to bring that vision to more patients and physicians across the country while advancing our next generation of therapeutics. Our growth strategy puts our premier dermatology physician partners at the forefront, as we collaborate directly with them to drive clinical innovation and advance longevity science in dermatology."
Rapalogix's lead product, Pro-Longevity Face Serum, from its professional skincare line, Re-Q, is based on the company's proprietary approach to selectively modulating TORC1 activity in skin cells. This approach builds on Cambrian Bio's TORnado platform, which solved a longstanding challenge in achieving selective TORC1 modulation, and Rapalogix was spun out to apply this breakthrough to skin health. By selectively supporting key cellular processes associated with skin function and resilience, the company believes it can help establish an entirely new approach to healthy skin aging.
Series A financing will support:
- Rapid expansion of commercial activities for Re-Q
- Continued investment in clinical and translational research
- Development of additional products targeting skin longevity, hair health and other age-related changes in skin biology
- Expansion of scientific, medical and commercial capabilities
"For years, dermatology has largely focused on treating the visible manifestations of aging," commented Dr. Day. "What excites me about Rapalogix is its focus on the biology that drives skin aging. Advances in longevity science are creating opportunities to rethink how we support skin health, and we believe we're only beginning to unlock that potential."
"We're still in the early innings of understanding how longevity science can transform human health. Our vision is to build the leading longevity-based skin health company and create products grounded in rigorous science that help people maintain healthier skin as they age," commented Saunders.
The financing follows a significant period of recognition and growth for Rapalogix Health. In 2026, the company earned several industry awards and made strategic additions to its leadership team, in addition to growing its commercial salesforce in support of the Re-Q national launch. Most recently, in conjunction with this funding, Rapalogix appointed Neetu Dhaliwal and Craig Gordon, MD, to its Board of Directors, further strengthening its governance as the company enters its next phase of growth.
