SEOUL, Aug. 6 -- Aestura, Amorepacific's derma skincare brand, has been named South Korea's No. 1 dermacosmetic skincare brand by retail sales, according to global market intelligence firm Euromonitor International.

 

Built on the derma heritage of Pacific Pharma dating back to 1982 and Amorepacific's skincare research expertise, Aestura has established itself as one of South Korea's leading K-derma brands. The company launched its dermatology skincare line through hospital channels in 2008 and expanded its consumer reach by introducing the "Atobarrier365 Cream" at Olive Young in 2018, helping popularize derma skincare products with clinically proven formulations.

 

The brand's flagship "Atobarrier365 Cream" has been a bestseller and a key growth driver. Designed to provide barrier-strengthening moisturization for sensitive skin, the cream has remained a customer favorite, with one unit sold every five seconds, according to the company. It has also demonstrated its market leadership by ranking first in the cream category at the Olive Young Awards for two consecutive years.

 

Building on its strong domestic performance, Aestura has accelerated its global expansion. Following launches in major Asian markets, including Japan, Vietnam and Thailand, the brand entered Sephora in the United States last year and has since expanded distribution to Canada, Australia and China. This year, it further broadened its presence into key European markets. At Sephora Europe, Aestura products are now available at approximately 860 stores across 19 countries, rapidly increasing the brand's reach among local consumers.

 

"We are honored that Euromonitor has recognized Aestura as South Korea's leading derma skincare brand," an Aestura official said. "We will continue to expand our clinically proven solutions for sensitive skin into global markets and grow into a world-class derma skincare brand."
