When you treat your skin, it’s important to maintain and improve its condition with protocolized and effective products, so the choice of care should be obvious. It is always worth relying on innovations that ensure their effectiveness without injuring the skin and are able to penetrate into its deepest layers. Having talked to Anna Pekar, the founder of the AG SKIN cosmeceutical brand, you can understand that such products really exist! AG SKIN is convinced that with them, you will get the best result for healthy skin!
Could you tell us why you decided to create your own brand and when did AG SKIN start?
The history of AG SKIN began back in 2009. Working for more than 15 years as a distributor of cosmeceuticals, I realized that there were no products in Ukraine that could solve all skin problems. It was then that the idea to create my own brand and bring it to perfection.
What is the main feature of your cosmeceuticals?
We were able to create products based on the unique Smart Liposome technology. Liposomes are small containers that help deliver all the substances to the skin. And the most important thing is that our smallest liposomes are only 20-1000 nm. It means that cosmeceuticals will deeply penetrate, affect the problem and, most importantly, fulfill their function without irritating the skin.
On your Instagram, you shared the news that you are launching a project for which you are looking for women with acne and rosacea. Could you tell us more about this initiative and what it entails for the participants?
Every day we receive feedback from our beauties that our products change their lives. Many women don’t expect that care can be effective and really solve skin problems with acne, rosacea, dryness, dimness, and wrinkles. My team and I decided to involve girls who have acne and rosacea and show how their skin will change after proper home care with AG SKIN. It is important for us to convey that we have created unique formulas that really help.
You obtain ingredients for AG SKIN cosmeceuticals from many countries. How do you manage to do this and why is there such a large list of completely different countries for different components?
Our team has spent more than 10 years searching for quality ingredients. All ingredients have quality certificates and meet international standards. We choose only the best! We have ingredients from Germany, Thailand, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Italy, Taiwan, China, Spain, France, and others.
You have an “Acne” line, which includes products with retinol in your unique formula, which promises no adverse skin reaction. What is the advantage of your product compared to others?
In the “Acne” line, we have implemented FDA protocols with ingredients for the treatment of acne, and for maximum effectiveness, we have added effective ingredients: liposomal retinol and liposomal salicylic acid. For the first time, you can be safe with retinol and use it during pregnancy and in the summer (with the approval of a dermatologist).
As a specialist in your sphere, what is the most important thing in caring for any skin type for the best result?
The main thing is an integrated approach. You cannot buy one product and get the desired result. It is imperative to have high-quality cleansing: washing, toner, cream, serum, if necessary, and additional care, such as masks and peels. In addition, don’t forget about SPF. We have developed an SPF that protects against the sun and blue light, cares for and nourishes the skin. Our doctors have created special protocols that select products that are focused on a specific problem, so only by choosing a complete care protocol we guarantee results!
How difficult is it today to develop a brand during the war and do you plan to have a business abroad?
It is indeed a challenge to start and develop a brand in such a difficult time, but when you do everything well and customers see the result, you have the strength to move on. We are currently exploring foreign markets and will soon expand our network of representative offices.
Do you plan to launch new lines and products?
Already this month, our consumers will be able to buy a new line with vitamin C. We have made an incredible composition that impressed many dermatologists during the testing phase. And of course, soon we will have large volumes of products for professional use on sale. Follow us on Instagram!
Tell us about your favorite AG SKIN products.
They are all my favorites, but now I use the rosacea treatment line, cleansing and, of course, SPF in my beauty routine. Thanks to comprehensive care, I forgot about rosacea and got the result of “snow-white” skin. No one believes that you can effectively remove redness without hardware techniques, but this proves once again that our care really works.
