PhilosophyThe democratic anti-aging brand — Regenerist and Retinol 24 make peptide and retinol formulas truly drugstore-accessible.Pharmaceutical-grade EGF, made gentle.

Olay

Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream and Retinol 24 are sleeper-hit anti-aging picks that hold up against brands 3x the price. The body lotion lineup is forgettable.

Pros

✓ Peptide and retinol at drugstore prices
✓ Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream is a legitimate cult product
✓ Strong R&D pipeline

Cons

✗ Fragrance in most products
✗ Dated branding obscures genuinely good formulas
✗ Lots of line confusion (Total Effects, Regenerist, Luminous, Retinol 24...)

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.
