When you have the best of the best in your skincare arsenal, simpler is, more often than not, better. Why risk cancelling out the positive effects of a cult favorite serum or multi-awarded moisturizer by lumping it in with 3-4 other formulas that may not work well in tandem with the star of the show? To get the best results possible, it’s sometimes most ideal to prop up your hero product by keeping your routine basic and letting the star do the work.

Dr. Lim Ee Seok of Carenology 95

South Koreans have been raving about Carenology 95 since, well, 1995. The mind behind the brand is renowned dermatologist and skincare expert Dr. Lim Ee Seok, who is often sought after by our favorite Hallyu stars. The good doctor’s clinic has been described as “a cornerstone of advanced dermatological care,” highly valued by its equally high profile clientele. He is known for his customized treatments and specialized lifting techniques, which combine lasers, radio frequency, fillers, threads, and other procedures to give his client the best face possible. Integral to his practice is his conscious avoidance of over-treatment, which, according to Dr. Lim, do more harm than good. This philosophy has trickled down to Carenology 95, which is committed to using natural ingredients in tandem with advanced technology to deliver visible results.

Carenology 95

Carenology 95 believes in “listening to the skin” and aims to strengthen and rejuvenate it to reveal its beauty from within. It doesn’t believe in trends, either, instead opting for fundamental solutions that don’t add pressure by disrupting the aging process. Its hero ingredient is a blue carbon oil—1g of which comes from 2,000 blue tansy flowers from Morrocco—powering Carenology 95’s famous Re: Blue line. The products in this line nourish and moisturizes skin, leaving it well-hydrated. The Sun Care Line has additional UV defense benefits that offer the highest UV ray protection factor in Korea. Though Carenology 95 products were formulated to fit Korean skin, Dr. Lim’s successful clinical trials have him and his team feeling confident that these will suit Filipino skin as well.

Dianne Gonzales, Director of MMG Enterprises, the official distributor of Carenology 95 in the Philippines, shared at the launch: “We decided to bring Carenology to the Philippines because of its quality and proven effectiveness. Carenology prioritizes the useof natural ingredients and cutting-edge technology which align with the needs of Filipinos seeking quality Korean skincare solutions.”
