About ClearDerm
Acne is not just about your skin. It affects your confidence, how you show up in the world, and how you feel day to day. At ClearDerm, we treat acne as the medical condition it is, with structured, evidence-based care designed to deliver real, lasting results.
Why ClearDerm Exists
ClearDerm was founded by an Irish GP with a special interest in dermatology, shaped by both clinical experience and personal insight into acne.
Having experienced acne personally and seen first-hand the life-changing impact effective treatment can have, including advanced acne treatment, it became clear that access to structured acne care in Ireland was often limited. Many patients were left navigating ineffective over-the-counter treatments, months-long waiting lists for dermatology appointments, or isolated consultations without ongoing support. ClearDerm was created to change that.
About Your ClearDerm Founder
Dr Tara Treacy
Dr Tara Treacy is the Founder and Medical Director of ClearDerm.
Like many of her patients, Dr Tara struggled with acne. After years of treatments, she found one that genuinely changed her skin and confidence. That experience gave her a unique understanding of the emotional impact acne can have and inspired her interest in providing structured, evidence-based acne care.
She graduated with honours in medicine from NUI Galway and completed GP training with the Western GP Training Scheme. She is a registered Irish GP (IMC Registration No. 411337) and a Member of the Irish College of General Practitioners.
She holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Dermatology from Queen Mary University of London and has completed the Advanced Acne Therapy in Primary Care programme through the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland.
Having found the right treatment for her own skin, Dr Treacy understands what it means to finally get acne under control, and built ClearDerm to make structured, evidence-based care available to every adult in Ireland who needs it.
