The founder

I started SkinSourcer standing in a pharmacy in Seoul, South Korea, holding a cream I couldn't buy back home. I was there for a salmon PDRN facial, but I spent just as much time wandering pharmacies, clinics, and dermatology offices, asking what locals actually used instead of what was trending online.

Skincare wasn't new to me. For seven years, I worked behind the scenes for a skincare company in New York, helping develop products, coordinate with manufacturers, oversee packaging and operations, lead marketing, and grow the brand. My title was Executive Assistant, but I touched nearly every part of the business. I learned how products are actually made, why some brands become household names, and how many incredible formulations never leave the countries where they were created.

So instead of accepting that these products simply weren't available in the U.S., I went directly to the source. Over time I built relationships with the manufacturers, pharmacies, and laboratories behind them, in Korea, Japan, and Germany, the people who actually make these formulations.

What I found is that the world's best skincare often doesn't reach America for surprisingly ordinary reasons. Distribution agreements. Marketplace politics. Brands that have never prioritized exporting. The products are exceptional. Most people just never get the chance to discover them.

I realized the door was never locked. Nobody had knocked.

That's why I created SkinSourcer.

I travel to the world's leading skincare markets, visit the clinics and pharmacies where these products are actually used, build relationships directly with the manufacturers, and source them from the people who make them. Every product is authentic, every supplier is verified, and every order comes with a transparent chain of sourcing.

Not dropshipped. Not gray market.

Sourced.
