Behind The Revolution

Forerunners in skin cell science, Clé De Peau Beauté has long earned cult status for its skincare staples that nurture glowing, healthy skin. The secret behind the Japanese luxury skincare brand's success? A winning combination of cutting-edge technology, sensorial formulations and a robust research team.

Much of its innovation can be attributed to the man at the helm of its R&D team: Kiyoshi Sato, chief technology officer of Clé De Peau Beauté laboratories. Now 30 years into his time at Shiseido Group, Sato is a pioneer for skin brightening research, having created the company's proprietary M-tranexamic acid and 4MSK. The two are powerful brightening ingredients found in the brand's advanced formulations, including the newly upgraded Concentrated Brightening Serum.

Unveiled at an official launch in Singapore, the serum presents a four-step approach to skin brightening and is best accompanied with the reformulated UV Protective Cream. We speak to Sato on his groundbreaking research and how it led to the update.
