PhilosophyDermatologist-developed K-beauty with a focus on safe, gentle formulations for reactive and sensitive skin.Liah Yoo's "press reset" philosophy: strip skincare back to what the barrier actually needs.

Make P:rem

Make P:rem is the dermatologist-developed K-beauty brand for people whose skin reacts to everything. Their Safe Me Relief Moisture Cream is a barrier-focused cream that rivals La Roche-Posay Cicaplast at a fraction of the price. An underrated gem.

Pros

✓ Dermatologist-developed formulations
✓ Outstanding for sensitive/reactive skin
✓ Fragrance-free options across the range
✓ Excellent barrier support

Cons

✗ Clinical branding lacks K-beauty charm
✗ Smaller catalog than bigger rivals
✗ Limited distribution outside Korea

Krave Beauty

Liah Yoo built Krave Beauty the way you wish more brands would — with a skincare-fatigued YouTube audience in mind, a commitment to stripping back rather than piling on, and one genuine cult hit in Great Barrier Relief. Small catalog, specific mission, loyal fans. Not for people who want a 10-step system. Very much for people whose skin has been yelled at for too long.
