이미지 확대NeoPharm Co.(Kosdaq: 092730), cosmetics maker specializing in sensitive skin care products, expects its top line to benefit from expansion in China and dermatology clinics in Korea, riding on burgeoning demand for cosmeceuticals.
NeoPharm has established its name in the Korean cosmeceutical market under popular names Atopalm, Zeroid, and Real Barrier.
Cosmeceutical refers to special skin care products with a merging of cosmetics and pharmaceutical ingredients. Avene, Bioderma, and Uriage are few of world’s best-known cosmeceutical brands featuring dermatological care products for sensitive skin.

It launched self-evident brand Dermatology in October in pricier range to target middle-age consumers through a home shopping network. It also signed an agreement with a Chinese distributor King King Group to sell Real Barrier skin care products in the neighboring market and is getting ready to set up a subsidiary in China. Zeroid sold across the counter at 800 clinics will be added 200 additional ones by the end of the year.
