Victory Serums: Where Less Is More.
Why pour chemicals on your scalp when less does more? Since 1961, others sold you more product. Since 2025, Victory Serums gives you better scalp health with less.
A Pharmacist and Skin Microbiome Specialist Perspective
Victory Serums would not exist without the expertise of Ben Eshelby, a compounding pharmacist and skincare formulator who has dedicated his career to improving skin health through microbiome science. Ben played a central role in developing the first formulations that helped me personally that then led to The Victory Serums Pathway. Here is his perspective.
The human microbiome represents the new frontier of medicine. It is a collection of hundreds of trillions of bacterial, viral, fungal and other living cells that exist symbiotically with human cells. The microbiome influences nearly every aspect of human physiology and even gene expression. A quick search of any disease or medical condition with the word ‘microbiome’ beside it, will nearly always show a study is being done linking it to microbiome health. We know that if the microbiome is disrupted or becomes unbalanced, we see disease and loss of health and vitality. The scalp has its own unique microbiome that needs to be nurtured. By nurturing the scalp microbiome, we rebalance the natural habitat, correct imbalances and restore the natural function of the skin.
I met Matt a few years ago on his quest to cure his own long standing dandruff issue. As a compounding pharmacist and skincare formulator with a special interest in skin microbiome health, I helped him develop a range of products for him to use on his scalp. I have been treating, acne, dermatitis, eczema and rosacea for a long time with exceptional and published results. I still use and dispense medications to treat skin conditions, but the primary focus is put on correcting the underlying imbalances in human and microbiome physiology first.
Matt’s scalp products were designed to restore a natural pH of the scalp, feed the microbiome and keeping out ingredients that could disrupt a healthy microbiome such as high levels of preservation. This was in direct contrast to other dandruff products which he had used that were focussed on ‘killing’ microbes and designed around principles of excessive preservation for long term warehousing. They also had an industry standard focus on the appearance and smell of the product. I should mention that the initial products we formulated for Matt were far from an ugly, smelly poultice – but focus was put on efficacy rather than elegance.
Needless to say, Matt had a very positive response to his microbiome based dandruff therapy and documented all his results. You will read about this and his journey through the book.
It excites me being a part of Matt’s journey and his passion for sharing this with the world. His final products are disruptive to the way we – as health practitioners - currently look at scalp care and dandruff control. They are essentially non medicated and focus on harnessing the power of the microbiome to improve scalp health.
I congratulate Matt on pioneering and championing what is essentially a new therapy in dandruff control. I am sure his work will change the lives of many suffering from dandruff and scalp conditions.
