After years of treating patients with ongoing skin concerns and experiencing the limitations of harsh prescription treatments firsthand, Dr. Hope Ijaola – known affectionately by her patients as Dr. Hope – has launched a new skincare line designed to offer a more compassionate alternative.
Doctor Hopiola, founded by the Gilbert-based, board-certified physician, is a collection of gentle, science-informed skincare products that blend medical insight with plant-based formulations. Driven by a desire to create solutions that prioritize both skin health and user comfort, Dr. Hope developed the line as a response to what she saw missing in the skincare space.
“As a physician, I often saw how difficult it was for patients to find products that were both effective and gentle,” she said. “So many formulas achieve results through aggressive ingredients that compromise the skin barrier. I wanted to design something that helps restore balance instead of stripping it away.”
Doctor Hopiola reflects Dr. Hope’s belief that skincare should be more than cosmetic: it should be purposeful. Drawing from her experience and training in organic cosmetic formulation, she created a collection centered on transparency, integrity, and sustainability. Each product is formulated with botanicals backed by research, avoiding synthetic additives that can trigger irritation in sensitive skin. Her holistic approach emphasizes the connection between skin appearance and overall well-being.
“When you nurture your skin with intention and consistency, you’re investing in more than its appearance; you’re supporting the way your skin looks and feels every day,” she said.
All Doctor Hopiola products are made in the United States using environmentally responsible sourcing and packaging. The line is cruelty-free and free from parabens, sulfates, and synthetic preservatives. Doctor Hopiola is now available exclusively online at drhopiola.com.
