An idea rarely begins with a formula. It begins with a feeling. For me, it was a quiet moment of observing the resilience of a single bloom, and knowing that nature held a code that science had yet to fully unlock. It was in my Singapore clinic that I realised the future of dermatology wasn’t just in treatment, but in this profound synergy.

A letter to my heritage.

I used to believe that the worlds of clinical dermatology and traditional Eastern healing were separate. One was my profession, the other was in my blood—the stories of herbs and remedies passed down through generations.

But the deeper I went into my research in Singapore, the more I realized they were telling the same story, just in different languages. Asian Ethnobotany isn’t an abstract science to me; it is the language of my ancestors.

My work in our Seoul atelier is a translation of this heritage. It is my promise to honor this profound legacy with the respect of modern, clinical proof. This is the heart of my mission.

A personal announcement, and the beginning of my life’s work.

After reaching what I felt was the pinnacle of my clinical practice in Singapore, I made a decision. Over a year ago, I quietly stepped away from the consultation room to dedicate myself to a singular, global mission.

The question that led me here was born during my years as a dermatologist: I saw the power of modern science, but I knew its potential was incomplete without the profound, balancing wisdom of traditional Asian Ethnobotany.

To bridge that gap, I turned to the archives. My decision was fortified not by a single text, but by a deep study into the lineage of healing, from ancient Chinese remedies to the principles of Korean Hanbang.

This knowledge became the blueprint. My new purpose is to command our state-of-the-art R&D lab in Seoul, and with it, take this fusion of clinical science and ancient wisdom to the world.

The clinic chapter is closed. The Founder’s Formula is now the exclusive vessel for my dermatological expertise. I invite you to follow along on this journey.

Debunking K-Beauty Myths: Setting the Record Straight

Heard some wild claims about K-beauty? 🤔 A dermatologist is here to separate fact from fiction! Swipe to debunk common misconceptions.

Myth 1: More Steps = Better Results?
While layering is key, the number of steps isn’t the goal. It’s about using the right products for your skin’s needs and applying them effectively. Quality over quantity!

Myth 2: K-Beauty is Only for Fair Skin?
False! K-beauty encompasses a wide range of products formulated to address various skin concerns across all skin tones. Ingredient focus is universal!

Myth 3: All K-Beauty Products are Natural?
While many K-beauty brands utilize plant-based extracts, efficacy and safety depend on formulation and scientific testing, not just the ‘natural’ label. Look for evidence-based ingredients!

Navigating the world of K-beauty can be exciting! Remember to:
* Know Your Skin: Identify your specific needs and concerns.
* Read Labels: Understand the ingredients and their benefits.
* Patch Test: Always test new products before full application.

The Art of Cleansing - Best Practices

How Often? Generally, twice a day (morning and evening) is recommended. Adjust based on your skin type and activity level.
Water Temperature: Use lukewarm water – hot water can strip the skin, and cold water may not effectively dissolve oils.

Application:
Use a small amount of cleanser (e.g., a pea-sized amount).
Gently massage onto damp skin in circular motions for about 30-60 seconds. Don’t scrub aggressively!

Cover all areas, including the hairline and jawline.
Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly until no residue remains.
Pat Dry: Gently pat your skin dry with a clean, soft towel. Avoid rubbing.
