Skincare industry advances with new preventive and epidermal science methodologies

Regina Skin Medical has introduced a new preventive medical beauty framework aimed at addressing the root causes of chronic skin pigmentation, such as melasma. Based on longitudinal tracking tests, the company suggests that persistent pigmentation is primarily caused by metabolic disruptions in the skin’s basal layer rather than just hormonal imbalances. The company advocates for a shift from symptom-based relief to scientific, root-cause prevention to ensure long-term skin health.

In a separate development, dsm-firmenich Beauty & Care presented its CORNEOCARE™ 2.0 platform at the IFSCC Congress 2026. This holistic epidermal science platform focuses on advancing solutions for sensitive and flawless skin. The technology utilizes advanced imaging and data visualization to support epidermal resilience, tonal expression, and overall skin wellbeing, specifically targeting evolving consumer needs in the Asia-Pacific region.
