PhilosophyBrazilian derma pharmacy brand — actives-focused, clinical, mass-accessible.Liah Yoo's "press reset" philosophy: strip skincare back to what the barrier actually needs.
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
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.
Pros
- ✓ barrier-first philosophy
- ✓ cult hero in Great Barrier Relief
- ✓ transparent founder storytelling
- ✓ no fragrance / no essential oils
Cons
- ✗ very small catalog
- ✗ ships mostly US/intl, harder to find in Asia
- ✗ limited range of price points
