Brand & Maker Overview

BRIGHTAGE

Pharmaceutical-inspired anti-aging care for a brighter future.

BRIGHTAGE is an anti-aging skincare brand born from the research capabilities of Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare — the company behind products such as the "Lulu" cold remedy and "Loxonin S" painkiller. Focusing on the low-grade "age-related skin inflammation" that recurs with age, its formulations — featuring active ingredients such as tranexamic acid — address multiple concerns at once, including dark spots, loss of firmness, dullness and dryness. Even within a busy daily routine, the series delivers full skincare in a basic two-step process.

Why We Love It

Skincare made in earnest by a pharmaceutical company (Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare) — and the performance is no bluff. "Lift White Perfection" in particular combines the best of a serum and a milky lotion, making it a savior on busy mornings. With its dedication to the active ingredient tranexamic acid and the know-how of pharmaceutical development, this "all-around anti-aging care" is something both skin and mind want to rely on.

PROFILE About the Company / Workshop

Researchers at Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare noticed that behind the signs common to aging skin — spots, loss of firmness, dryness and dullness — lies a weak inflammation that recurs in daily life. Defining this state as "age-related skin inflammation," BRIGHTAGE was born as a skincare brand that confronts aging signs at their root cause.

At the brand's core are the medicinal active ingredients tranexamic acid and dipotassium glycyrrhizinate. Applying technology cultivated over many years of pharmaceutical research, the formulations address inflammatory substances while simultaneously delivering brightening care, prevention of skin roughness and hydration. Moisture is delivered to every corner of the stratum corneum, aiming for skin with lively firmness.

Beyond the basic lotion and milky serum, the lineup has expanded to include a night cream, eye care, a wrinkle-improvement essence, a UV base and even the medicinal product "Brightage White," offering total care from inside and out. All products are fragrance-free and colorant-free (with some exceptions) and allergy-tested (which does not guarantee no allergic reaction for everyone). Through refills and eco-conscious packaging, the brand also aims to contribute to a sustainable society.
