“anticipate,” “could,” “future,” “outlook,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking
statements contain these words. The forward-looking statements in this presentation relate to, among other things, statements regarding the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, the strategic partnership with Galderma, the sale of
generic assets to Padagis, progress on our innovative earlier stage programs, including the anticipated timing of the clinical development of SGT-510, SGT-310 and SGT-210, the future markets for various skin diseases, and, our expectations
regarding our liquidity and ability to fund operational and capital expenditure requirements. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that may cause
our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the following: risks relating
to the timing of the PDUFA action date for EPSOLAY, the timing of FDA approval, if any, of EPSOLAY; the risk that we will not be successful in marketing additional products and the timing of such marketing; the risk that we will not receive the
anticipated benefits of the strategic partnership with Galderma or the agreement with Padagis; the risk that we don’t progress on our innovative earlier stage programs, the risk of a delay in the clinical development of SGT-510, SGT-310 and
SGT-210, if any; the risk that our estimate of the markets for psoriasis and plaque psoriasis are inaccurate; the fact that we have and expect to continue to incur significant losses; our need for additional funding, which may not be available;
our ability to complete the development of, and obtain marketing approval for, our product candidates; our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for our product candidates in our target markets and the possibility of adverse
regulatory or legal actions relating to our product candidates even if regulatory approval is obtained; our ability to commercialize and launch our product candidates at all or on a timely basis; our ability to obtain and maintain adequate
protection of our intellectual property; our ability to manufacture our product candidates in commercial quantities, at an adequate quality or at an acceptable cost; acceptance of our product candidates by healthcare professionals and patients;
the possibility that we may face third-party claims of intellectual property infringement; the timing and results of clinical trials that we may conduct or that our competitors and others may conduct relating to our or their products; delays in
the launch of product candidates and generic drugs; intense competition in our industry; potential product liability claims; potential adverse federal, state, and local government regulation in the United States, Europe, or Israel; the impact
of pandemics, such as COVID-19 (coronavirus); and loss or retirement of key executives and research scientists. These and other important factors discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) on March 4, 2021, and in our other reports filed with the SEC, could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this presentation. Any such forward-looking

Acne vulgaris is a multifactorial disease. Even though benzoyl peroxide and tretinoin are widely
prescribed separately and have a complimentary mechanism of action, so far, they could not be applied concomitantly because benzoyl peroxide decomposes tretinoinTWYNEO contains a fixed‑dose combination of tretinoin and benzoyl peroxide, using
Sol‑Gel’s patented technology to prevent tretinoin from being degraded by benzoyl peroxide and slowly releasing each of the active drug ingredients over time to provide a favorable efficacy and safety profilePatent protected until 2038 by
granted patents and until 2041 by a pending patent application TWYNEO® OFFERING COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT for ACNE PATIENTS First and only FDA Approved Fixed‑Dose Combination of Tretinoin and Benzoyl Peroxide

Inflammatory lesions of rosacea resemble acne vulgaris, except that comedones (whiteheads and blackheads)
are absent and only inflammatory lesions existEPSOLAY contains encapsulated benzoyl peroxide, using Sol‑Gel’s patented technology. Benzoyl peroxide is an effective antibacterial drug that is not associated with bacterial resistance and is used
to treat acne but not rosacea as it is assumed that rosacea patients cannot tolerate benzoyl peroxide. In Phase III clinical studies, EPSOLAY demonstrated statistically significant higher efficacy than the vehicle and favorable safety and
tolerability profile, similar to vehiclePDUFA goal date was set for April 26, 2021. Awaiting FDA’s pre-approval inspection; delayed due to COVID-19 travel restrictionsPatent protected until 2040 by granted patents and until 2041 by a pending
