About Viscontour®
The Visionary Behind Viscontour®
Viscontour® adheres to the philosophy of Precision. Purity. Simplicity., in stark contrast to the overly complex trends of past-generation medical-grade skincare. The brand was founded by Thomas Kneip, a German expert with years of experience in medical cosmetics and nutritional science.
It All Started with “Too Complicated”
Germany’s dermatological skincare industry is highly advanced, but often overloaded with complex ingredients and marketing claims. Thomas discovered that these complicated formulations could interfere with each other, reducing effectiveness and triggering allergies. In contrast, minimal formulas maximize each ingredient’s potential while ensuring safety. His goal was to develop a clinically effective and safe skincare solution using pure active ingredients suitable for most users.
The Birth of a Breakthrough Ingredient
Through tireless research, Thomas identified a unique strain Streptococcus equi. Partnering with Czech microbiologist Zuzana Jeníková, he extracted a revolutionary ultra-low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (Oligo HA). Unlike traditional large-molecular weight HA that only hydrates the surface, this powerful form penetrates deeply to deliver multi-action skincare benefits—hydration, anti-aging, barrier repair, firming, and soothing.
A New Chapter in Medical Skincare
This innovation reshaped the global cosmeceutical landscape, sparking a shift towards high-performance minimalist skincare. Thomas Kneip has since earned the title “Father of Hyaluronic Acid” in the field of medical aesthetics.
The Birth of Viscontour®
Viscontour® was born from a simple belief: hydration and moisture retention are the foundation of healthy skin. Without relying on complex formulations, the brand uses high grade hyaluronic acid technology to deeply hydrate, strengthen the skin barrier, and restore the skin’s natural moisture balance. Every product is clinically tested and certified by Dermatest, ensuring both high efficacy and skin tolerance.
