The Course Breakdown
Becoming a Pure Pigmentation Specialist means more than just knowing what products to use it means understanding why melanin-rich skin behaves the way it does, and how to treat it with skill and care.
In this course, you’ll dive deep into the science of pigmentation, explore the root causes of hyperpigmentation, melasma, and acne in deeper skin tones, and learn how to apply treatments that actually work. You'll gain hands-on knowledge of how to use the Derm7 Back Bar a professional product system designed specifically for melanated skin.
Each module blends theory and technique, helping you grow your expertise through case studies, guided practice, and visual learning tools. You’ll also test your knowledge with short quizzes, receive support through our private community, and even have the option to schedule one-on-one coaching sessions with Erica.
By the end of the course, you'll be certified, confident, and capable of delivering real results that build trust, loyalty, and lasting client transformations.
This is more than education it's elevation.

Meet Erica Skynn
Celebrity Esthetician | Creator of Derm7 | Founder of Melanin MasterClass
Erica Skynn isn’t your average esthetician. She’s a trusted celebrity skin expert known for two things: her bold personality and her unapologetic passion for healthy, glowing melanated skin.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience, Erica recognized early on a glaring gap in traditional skincare education: melanin-rich skin was rarely acknowledged, let alone properly understood. Frustrated by textbook treatments that consistently missed the mark for her clients of color, she decided enough was enough—and created Derm7.
Erica spent over five years developing Derm7, deeply researching, testing, and formulating products that genuinely deliver results for deeper richer skin tones. She didn't just build a product line; she created an entirely new philosophy for treating melanin-rich skin effectively.
Now, through the Melanin MasterClass, Erica shares her personal blueprint. Loud, real, and results-driven, this training provides everything she wishes she’d been taught—real-world knowledge, bold ingredient strategies, and the confidence to treat melanated skin with clarity and care.
