Jamal has experienced problematic skin such as embarrassing acne, hyperpigmentation, and excess oil. The skincare products he used were often formulated for teenagers, utilized harsh ingredients, or were off-shoots of larger, female-focused brands that didn’t target men’s common concerns. The inspiration behind Pierre Performance comes from his skin journey of wanting to find a solution, and his father who showed him the power of daring to care for your confidence and success. Pierre Performance is for men of all ages, sizes, backgrounds, and stages of life. Pierre Performance makes luxury skincare accessible for men with products that are all-natural formulations infused with vitamins, antioxidants, and botanical extracts which show visible results in clear skin and anti-aging. Formulated with every skin type in mind, including problem skin, these products focus on men's specific needs and untapped products for men such as chemical exfoliants and serums. The Miami-based brand is black-owned and encourages men to perform at their peak, embrace their individuality, and set high standards for their skincare.

In this episode of the MenswearStyle Podcast we interview Jamal Pierre, Founder of Pierre Performance about the founding store of his brand which he launched during the Covid-19 global pandemic. His men's skincare products are aimed at all men, especially those with problematic skin. Our host Peter Brooker and Jamal talk about his personal experiences with challenging skin issues, how dermatology ingredients have changed over the years, bootstrapping a business from personal savings, the differences between men's and women's skincare, the importance of sleep, sunscreen and hydration, and obtaining feedback on early prototypes.
