​

Transact any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment of the Annual Meeting.

​

We will hold our Annual Meeting in virtual format only, via live audio webcast (rather than at any physical location) at the date and time specified above, instead of holding the meeting at any physical location. Only those stockholders of record as of the close of business on the record date of April 28, 2026 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for your inspection beginning June 13, 2026, at

our offices located at 9237 E Via de Ventura Blvd., Suite 105, Scottsdale, AZ 85258, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., local time, each business day during the 10 days preceding the Annual Meeting, however, if we determine that a physical in-person inspection is not practicable, such list of stockholders may be made available electronically, upon request. You or your proxyholder may participate, vote, and examine our stockholder list at the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/DERM2026 and using your 16-digit control number.

Please note the technical requirements for virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting, as described in the enclosed proxy statement under the heading “Questions and Answers.”

Pursuant to rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are providing access to our proxy materials over the Internet. On or about May 1, 2026, we will mail a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Internet Notice”) to each of our stockholders of record and beneficial owners as of close of business on the record date. On the date of mailing the Internet Notice, all stockholders will have the ability to access all the proxy material on the website referred to in the Internet Notice. These proxy materials will be available free of charge.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT!

Submitting your proxy card or voting over the Internet or by mobile device does not affect your right to vote virtually if you decide to virtually attend the Annual Meeting. You are urged to submit your proxy as soon as possible, regardless of whether or not you expect to virtually attend the Annual Meeting. You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by (i) delivering written notice to our Corporate Secretary, Ramsey Alloush, at our address above, (ii) submitting a later-dated proxy card or voting over the Internet or mobile device at a later time, or (iii) virtually attending the Annual Meeting and voting. No revocation under (i) or (ii) will be effective unless written notice or the proxy card is received by our Corporate Secretary at or before the Annual Meeting.

When you submit your proxy, you authorize Claude Maraoui, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ramsey Alloush, our Chief Operating Officer, Corporate Secretary and General Counsel, to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting and on any adjournments of the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

Ramsey Alloush,
