Céleteque (stylized as CÉLETEQUE DermoScience™) is a Philippine skincare brand that specializes in dermatologist-developed skincare products designed to address a variety of skin concerns. The brand is known for combining medical science, dermatological research, and clinically tested ingredients to create products suitable for everyday skincare routines. Céleteque positions itself as a science-based, derma-certified brand that emphasizes skin health rather than cosmetic enhancement alone. [1]
History
Céleteque was developed in the Philippines to provide dermatologist-inspired skincare that is both effective and affordable. The brand emerged as part of UL Skin Sciences, Inc., a subsidiary of the Unilab Group, one of the Philippines’ largest healthcare and pharmaceutical companies.
Unlike many beauty brands that focus primarily on cosmetics, Céleteque was introduced with the philosophy that healthy skin begins with proper skincare backed by science. This medical heritage became one of the brand’s defining characteristics and helped distinguish it from conventional beauty products. [2]
Brand Philosophy
Céleteque’s philosophy centers on three principles:

-
Skin health before beauty, focusing on strengthening the skin barrier and treating skin concerns.
