FAQs About NEOGEN

What does NEOGEN do?

NEOGEN is a Korean beauty brand that blends biotechnology with natural ingredients to produce safe and effective solutions that address a variety of skin needs. While the brand offers a few makeup items, it’s best known for its wide selection of skin care. This includes exfoliating pads, cleansers, serums, sunscreens and more – all designed to simplify your skin care routine.

What sets NEOGEN skin care apart is its use of six patented technologies that enhance product performance and skin compatibility:

• Bio-Conversion Technology: Uses enzymes and microbes to activate the beneficial properties of natural ingredients, improving their absorption and impact.


• Bio-Greentox Technology: Helps remove pollutants from both your skin and the water used during cleansing.


• Dermaceutical Technology: Focuses on how skin functions to create formulas that are gentle yet effective, even on sensitive skin.


• Neo-Sustainability Technology: Prioritizes clean beauty by supporting organic farming, avoiding GMOs ingredients and minimizing environmental pollutants like pesticides in products.


• Sub-Micro Stabilization Technology: Key ingredients are processed so they penetrate deep into skin while ensuring stability, safety and efficacy of formulations.


• Plant Stem Cell Technology: Taps into the skin-repairing, strengthening and anti-aging benefits of plant stem cells for products.

Backed by dermaceutical research and clinical testing, NEOGEN products tackle a wide range of skin concerns while delivering a pleasant, sensorial experience. Whether you're into minimalist skin care or want to mix and match, NEOGEN is all about helping you feel good in your skin.

Is NEOGEN vegan?

NEOGEN is not a fully vegan brand as some formulas include animal-derived ingredients, but it does offer a variety of vegan-friendly products. If you’re following a vegan routine, it’s best to check the ingredient list or look for vegan labels on individual products.

Do people still use NEOGEN?

Absolutely! NEOGEN remains popular in the Korean skin care industry, with many fans continuing to repurchase the brand’s favorite products. NEOGEN first gained buzz with its bestselling Dermalogy Bio-Peel Gauze peeling pads and has since stayed relevant thanks to a steady stream of innovative launches. Think eye patches infused with 24K gold and mascaras with metal spoolies that caught the eye of TikTok users.

NEOGEN also keeps things fresh by teaming up with K-Beauty influencers like Joan Kim and K-pop groups such as Dreamcatcher to create collections. These collaborations have helped the brand stay top-of-mind for beauty lovers both in Korea and around the world.

NEOGEN Real Ferment Micro Essence and Micro Serum: Are they good?

Yes – if you’re aiming for that coveted glass skin look, these two NEOGEN products make a great team. They’re part of the brand’s Real Ferment collection designed to hydrate, brighten and smooth skin.

NEOGEN’s Real Ferment Micro Essence is a lightweight and fast-absorbing formula packed with over 93% naturally fermented ingredients. The NEOGEN bestseller works to boost skin hydration and radiance without any stickiness. Meanwhile, the Real Ferment Micro Serum has a gel-like texture and it’s enriched with Vitamins C, E and B5 to nourish and firm skin.

Both products are powered by a Micro Bio Ferment Complex containing fermented ingredients like bifida ferment lysate, saccharomyces ferment filtrate and rice ferment filtrate. Fermentation helps break these ingredients down into smaller molecules, so they absorb quickly and work more effectively in skin. The mix of fermented ingredients provides skin benefits ranging from barrier care to skin elasticity improvement to antioxidant effect.

What is the best NEOGEN product?

There’s no single “best” NEOGEN product. It all depends on your skin type, concerns and routine. That said, one product that stands out time and time again is NEOGEN’s Dermalogy Bio-Peel Gauze peeling pads.

Longtime favorites among NEOGEN skin care fans, these innovative peeling pads make exfoliation quick and convenient. Each peeling pad features three layers: a cotton gauze side that gently buffs away dead skin cells, an embossed side that deep cleanses and refines skin and an essence-soaked cushion pad that delivers active ingredients into skin. Together, they deliver both physical and chemical exfoliation, leaving skin smooth while regulating excess sebum production. They also prep skin to better absorb the next products in your skin care routine.

What’s more, the essence in the pads also acts like a toner, giving your skin a hit of hydration – no rinsing required.

NEOGEN’s Dermalogy Bio-Peel Gauze peeling pads are available in various versions to suit different skin needs. That includes the Lemon version for brightening, Green Tea version for soothing and Wine version for anti-aging and nourishing care.
