PhilosophyNo-frills dermatologist-friendly formulas for sensitive and eczema-prone skin.Pharmaceutical-grade EGF, made gentle.

First Aid Beauty

The Ultra Repair Cream cult deserves the hype. FAB skips the marketing theatrics and sticks to allergy-tested formulas — boring, in the best way, if your skin is angry.

Pros

✓ Sensitive-skin friendly (fragrance-free, allergy-tested)
✓ Actually good barrier products
✓ Reasonable prices for the quality

Cons

✗ Limited innovation — not much new since 2015
✗ Some formulas include low-grade alcohol
✗ Branding is utilitarian, not magazine-y

EasyDew

EasyDew is built on real medical chemistry — the brand was founded by Daewoong Pharmaceutical and uses pharmaceutical-grade EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), an ingredient most OTC skincare can't legally formulate with at this concentration. Olive Young named them their #1 'slow aging' brand in 2025, and Marie Claire flagged them as one of the K-beauty brands to watch.
