PhilosophyBrazilian derma pharmacy brand — actives-focused, clinical, mass-accessible.Skincare formulated by 30 in-house consultants from one of Seoul's top plastic surgery clinic groups.
Theraskin
Theraskin occupies the mid-tier dermocosmetic space in Brazilian pharmacies. Hydramil is the hydration cornerstone.
Pros
- ✓ Mid-tier dermocosmetic pricing
- ✓ Widely pharmacy-distributed
- ✓ Solid actives lineup
Cons
- ✗ Packaging utilitarian
- ✗ Not marketed internationally
Banobagi
Banobagi reads like what happens when a famous Korean clinic decides their post-procedure aftercare deserves to be available to everyone. The Vita Genic Jelly Mask put them on the map, and the Milk Thistle Repair Cream became the quiet sleeper hit. Formulations skew clinical-soothing — high panthenol, niacinamide, centella — exactly what you'd expect from a brand born in Gangnam's aesthetic-clinic ecosystem.
Pros
- ✓ Clinic-derived credibility
- ✓ Excellent for post-procedure skin
- ✓ Strong barrier-repair lineup
- ✓ Great quality at mid-tier pricing
Cons
- ✗ Branding is uneven across products
- ✗ Less buzz outside Korea
- ✗ Some packaging feels generic
