🩺 The Dermatologist Behind K-Beauty: The Story of Dr.G

🌸 The Beginning: When Science Met Skincare

K-Beauty is known for innovation, creativity, and glowing skin — but few brands combine medical science and skincare artistry quite like Dr.G.

Founded by Dr. Ahn Gun-Young, a dermatologist from Gowoonsesang Dermatology Clinic in Seoul, Dr.G was born out of a clear mission:

To bring professional, dermatologist-tested skincare to everyone — not just clinic patients.

Unlike trend-driven brands, Dr.G was built from real clinical experience. Every formula was designed to solve genuine skin concerns — redness, sensitivity, and sun damage — not just enhance beauty for photos.


🧬 Science-Driven Korean Skincare

From day one, Dr.G has stood for “Doctor’s Genuine Care.”
That’s what the “G” in Dr.G represents — genuine, grounded, and guided by science.

Every product is developed with dermatologists, tested in clinical settings, and refined to suit even the most sensitive skin.
This medical-grade foundation set Dr.G apart as one of the earliest pioneers of K-Dermacosmetics — skincare at the intersection of K-Beauty innovation and dermatological science.

Whether it’s repairing your skin barrier, calming irritation, or protecting against pollution and UV rays, Dr.G’s formulations always come back to one principle:

Healthy skin starts with scientific understanding.


☀️ The Global Sensation: Dr.G Green Mild Up Sun Cream

If you’ve ever searched for the “best Korean sunscreen,” chances are you’ve seen Dr.G’s Green Mild Up Sun Cream topping every list.

This award-winning mineral sunscreen isn’t just a bestseller in Korea — it’s become a holy grail in the U.S. for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Here’s why it stands out:

  • 100% non-nano mineral UV filters (Zinc Oxide)

  • No fragrance, no alcohol, no irritation

  • Gentle tone-up effect for naturally glowing skin

  • Protects against blue light and pollution

Its lightweight yet protective texture made it a social media favorite, known among American users as the “dermatologist-approved Korean SPF.”


💧 Beyond Sunscreen: The Power of Barrier Science

Dr.G’s mission extends far beyond UV protection.
Their famous R.E.D Blemish Line focuses on repairing the skin barrier — one of the most important yet overlooked aspects of skin health.

  • R.E.D Blemish Soothing Cream: instantly cools and calms redness

  • R.E.D Blemish Clear Soothing Toner: helps rebalance post-acne skin

  • Barrier Creams: support hydration and resilience over time

This “barrier-first” philosophy resonates strongly with global consumers seeking real, clinical-grade skincare that still feels elegant and gentle.


🌿 Clean, Safe, and Dermatologist-Tested

As skincare consumers become more ingredient-savvy, Dr.G’s transparency sets it apart.

  • Clinically tested for sensitive skin

  • Free from parabens, artificial fragrance, and harsh chemicals

  • Cruelty-free and vegan-friendly options expanding each year

This clean-meets-clinical approach makes Dr.G one of the few brands trusted by both medical professionals and beauty enthusiasts alike.
