Established in 2002 as a high-prestige brand bearing the company name KOSÉ, it initially began as a skincare line focused on dryness in adult skin. Today, it offers a broad range of products as a comprehensive brand grounded in dermatological research and centered on care tailored to different stages of life. Positioned within KOSÉ’s group of high-prestige brands, it serves a different role from the prestige brand ONE BY KOSÉ, which focuses primarily on highly effective products for specific skin concerns, in terms of both its comprehensive product lineup and its place in the brand hierarchy.

The brand debuted in Japan in January 2017, bringing together KOSÉ’s proprietary technologies and research to offer highly effective products that address specific skin concerns. Its range includes products tailored to concerns such as dryness, dark spots, wrinkles, and pores, with skincare recommendations based on dermatological science that harness naturally derived ingredients and the power of fermentation biotechnology. It belongs to KOSÉ’s prestige brand portfolio and, unlike INFINITY, which offers a comprehensive range of cosmetics, centers on function-specific care for individual skin concerns.
