OUR JOURNEY

“I’ve struggled with eczema my whole life.”

From Sinyoung Cohan, Founder & Formulator:

My flareups got worse at age 11 when I moved from South Korea to Southern California because the air is so dry here.

During my teenage years and early 20s, I was in the sun almost every day playing basketball, tennis, hiking, swimming, and running cross country. Dark sunspots, hormonal acne, and eczema terrorized my skin #theperfectstorm

These complexion problems made me deeply insecure and I was literally uncomfortable in my own skin.

This insecurity turned me into a skincare and cosmetic junkie. I tried every product I could get my hands on including cleansers, creams, moisturizers, exfoliators, sunscreens, topical steroids, anti-fungals, primers, tinted moisturizers, concealers, powders, and a daily layer of foundation.

I found myself buying countless products and returning them over and over because I was not happy with the results.

Many of the products made my skin react and look worse! I was stuck in a Toxic Cycle of bad skin days, feeling insecure, and applying endless layers of coverup that clogged and damaged my skin even more.

Break The Toxic Cycle USE FEWER PRODUCTS NOW

Frustrated and lost, I began by looking at the ingredients of the products I was using.

I was horrified to find out so many conventional beauty products contain toxins, irritants and cheap fillers in them to boost profits. Most of the synthetic chemicals being used lack long-term studies on humans and our environment.

Using untested synthetic chemicals that didn’t work made me feel like a human guinea pig.

Then I realized the cruelty involved in harvesting animal products for ingredients and testing skincare products on animals, sometimes on actual guinea pigs!

Feeling hopeless, one day my husband asked, “Why don't you just make something for yourself?” So I did.

Using my science degree from UCLA and my career in Chromatography and Pharmaceuticals, I set out to create something better for myself.

Within a few months of using my first creation
(now Illuminating Facial Serum), my skin transformed.

EVERYONE wanted to know what I was using for my skin.

When I told them it was just something I made for personal use, friends and family asked if they could try it. When our products started making a positive difference in their lives, I realized how so many others are still struggling with skincare even though the market is saturated with beauty products. So even though I was scared (I still am sometimes!), I quit my full-time job and brought Lémore to life to share my creations with you loves all around the world :)

Lémore is short for Less is More.
