Founder · Board-Certified Dermatologist and Cosmetic Surgeon · Medical Reviewer, Absolut Skin Skincare Journal

Dr. Romario Thomas is a consultant dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon with more than 10 years of clinical experience. He practices in Jamaica, where he treats patients across the full range of skin tones, with a particular focus on melanin-rich skin.

"As a dermatologist practicing in Jamaica, I saw firsthand how many patients struggled with hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone — and how few products truly worked for their skin without side effects. That drove everything."

That experience led him to found Absolut Skin and to formulate its routines for dark spots, acne, sensitive skin and signs of aging.

Areas of focus

Hyperpigmentation, dark spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Acne and the marks it leaves behind
Sensitive skin and skin barrier care
Sun protection for deeper skin tones
Cosmetic dermatology and skin aging
