But why?
Despite all the technological breakthroughs why aren't there any skincare products advanced enough to make these concerns a thing of the past? At that time, Dr. Shirono was looking for skincare products and cosmetics he could recommend to his patients with confidence, but couldn't find any.
"It's so frustrating. After all it is my specialty... "
Then Dr. Shirono came to the conclusion. " What am I waiting for? If I can't find any, I should make it myself." This is how the Dr.Ci:Labo Brand all started... .
All that follows cleansing is just one simple step.
Dr. Shirono's development concept was to create naturally derived product that "eliminated all unnecessary ingredients, formulating only those vital to promote the skin's natural power to preserve its beauty and vitality." As the result of many years of extensive research, focusing on restoring the skin's moisture retaining ability and studying the data of 20,000 patients, this versatile cream-type gel was made available.
Its reputation spread by word of mouth and the clinic was inundated with requests for the gel.
The name "Aqua-Collagen-Gel" was chosen and the product became commercially available in 1999.
Aqua-Collagen-Gel contains no surfactants, mineral oils, artificial colorings or fragrances.
