CUSKIN: Science-Backed Beauty for a Global Market
Great skincare begins with science and expertise. CUSKIN was founded in a dermatology clinic, where real patient care and clinical research shaped a new approach—one that prioritizes long-term skin health with professional-grade formulations.
A Dermatologist’s Vision: Where It All Began
In 2001, Dr. Min Hyung-geun, a South Korean dermatologist, established CLEANUP Dermatology, a clinic dedicated to restoring skin health through personalized treatments. Over time, this vision expanded, leading to the establishment of CU Clinic Dermatology Hanam Branch and a network of eight directly managed dermatology clinics, further strengthening CUSKIN’s foundation in real-world patient care and advanced dermatological treatments.
As he worked with patients, he saw a need for extended at-home skincare treatment to help individuals sustain and maximize their results. He envisioned the creation of science-backed skincare products explicitly designed for post-treatment care, allowing skin to recover, strengthen, and thrive.
In 2004, this vision became a reality with the founding of CUSKIN Co., Ltd., a brand committed to bridging clinical expertise with everyday skincare—bringing dermatology-driven solutions to both professionals and individuals.

CU CLEAN-UP
CU Clean Up began as the first skincare line dedicated to post-treatment recovery, offering lightweight yet nourishing daily care. Its signature product, CUSKIN Clean-Up EX-C Regeneration Cream, strengthens the skin barrier, soothes sensitivity, and reduces redness. With carefully selected ingredients to hydrate and support skin renewal, this gentle cream is ideal for sensitive skin, especially after treatments.
CU Dr. Solution
CU Dr. Solution was thoughtfully designed to provide deep hydration and restore balance, especially for sensitive skin. One of the best-sellers from CU Dr. Solution is the PDRN Bakuchiol Set, which integrates PDRN derived from salmon DNA to accelerate skin healing, enhance elasticity, and restore resilience. It’s a comforting and effective solution for various skin concerns.

CU: Vitamin U
At the heart of this line is S-methylmethionine (Vitamin U), a revitalizing compound known to enhance cell regeneration and support barrier repair. A standout example is the CU Vitamin U Sun Serum, which combines broad-spectrum SPF 50+ PA++++ protection against UVA and UVB rays with a weightless, quick-absorbing formula. Infused with Vitamin B12, Panthenol, and ten types of Hyaluronic Acid, this serum delivers deep hydration and fortifies the skin barrier—making daily sun care effortless and nourishing.
Dr. MK
For specialized intensive skin care for aging skin, CU Dr. MK delivers high-performance, medical-grade skincare designed for renewal, hydration, and barrier protection. The Dr. MK Vitamin U Cream, powered by Vitamin U and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), supports cell regeneration and elasticity, while Tripeptides and Ceramides strengthen the skin barrier against environmental stressors.
