5) | DCS (Dermatology Cosmeceutical Solution) |
DCS is a Korean skincare label that infuses each product with Jeju’s mineral-rich volcanic sea water to rejuvenate skin and achieve a healthy glow. In line with its cruelty-free business philosophy, all products from DCS are not tested on animals.
Turn back time with NUTRIDERM – The NUTRIDERM range is infused with Korean ginseng berry, which can only be harvested once every four years over a seven-day period, giving rise to its rarity and value. The secret to Korean ginseng berry’s restorative power lies in its high concentration of ginsenosides, which is double the amount as compared to the more popular and frequently used Korean ginseng root.

6) | Dr. Ci:Labo Aqua-Collagen-Gel Enrich-Lift EX |
The result of years of research on dermatological science, Dr. Ci:Labo Aqua-Collagen-Gel Enrich-Lift EX is the “all-in-one gel” that covers eight-steps of your daily skin care routine..

The Aqua-Collagen-Gel Enrich-Lift EX is the premium lifting line of Dr. Ci:Labo’s signature Aqua-Collagen-Gel s, formulated to deliver nourishment and intense moisture without the use of skin-stressing ingredients.
Now the Aqua-Collagen-Gel Enrich-Lift EX combines the hydration power of its classic moisturiser with additional skin-tightening and firming properties. The formulation is inspired by Ulthera, a popular skin-tightening procedure at aesthetic clinics. It contains a pseudo “fascia” (known as the foundation of skin) made up of 3D collagen, 3D hyaluronic acid, TC triple collagen, hydrolyzed elastin and rye seed extract to create an invisible veil on the skin’s surface to revive depleted functions of the fascia.
In addition, ingredients such as Gold Collagen EX, Marine Pro Collagen and AG3 help to improve skin elasticity and retain moisture.
The product serves as a toner, moisturiser, serum, eye cream, face cream, massage cream, mask and makeup base all at the same time. It is free of fragrance, synthetic colourants, mineral oil and parabens. A floral scent from natural essential oils helps to lift the spirits.
