PhilosophyVegan cosmeceutical skincare with the formulation rigor of a derm-clinic line.AmorePacific's luxury skincare-meets-color-cosmetics house — Black Cushion icon, Sensual Powder Matte Lipstick, and serious skincare.

Dr. Ceuracle

Dr. Ceuracle is the brand to recommend when a friend is barrier-rebuilding and wants vegan, no-fragrance, no-fuss formulations that actually do something. The Vegan Kombucha line is the gateway, but the whole catalog reads like a derm's side project — high-actives concentrations, transparent INCI lists, zero TikTok theatrics. Quietly one of the most respected K-beauty cosmeceutical houses globally.

Pros

✓ Vegan + cruelty-free across the line
✓ Cosmeceutical-grade actives
✓ Genuinely fragrance-free
✓ Loved by sensitive-skin dermatologists

Cons

✗ Premium pricing for K-beauty
✗ Packaging is clinical, not cute
✗ Limited Sephora distribution

Hera

Hera is the AmorePacific-owned Korean luxury house that has produced one of the most photographed cushion compacts in beauty history (the Black Cushion) and a quietly excellent skincare lineup that doesn't get the same Sephora-front-row coverage as Sulwhasoo or Whoo. Premium pricing, Korean luxury heritage, formulations that earn their place at the top of any K-prestige routine.
