Dermagarden (stylized as DERMAGARDEN) is a South Korean skincare and personal-care brand developed by Hyunjin C&T, a beauty and cosmetics company. Introduced in 2019, the brand focuses on at-home skincare products designed for skin nourishment, hydration, repair, protection, and anti-aging. Dermagarden describes its philosophy as respecting the skin’s natural condition while emphasizing safe, gentle, and nature-oriented formulations.1 It operates alongside other Hyunjin C&T brands such as Désembre, Hempeak, and GPHEMP.

The origins of Dermagarden trace back to Hyunjin C&T, established in 1998. According to corporate history, the company initially imported cosmetics from European nations including Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Italy before developing its own proprietary beauty and skincare lines.1

The Dermagarden brand was officially launched in 2019 as a personal skincare line intended primarily for home use. This positioning distinguishes it from Hyunjin C&T’s professional-oriented brand, Désembre, which targets salon and clinic applications.1 Hyunjin C&T states that it develops and manufactures its own products rather than operating solely as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Philippine media coverage noted the parent company’s more than 25 years of industry experience at the time of the brand’s local introduction.2

The name Dermagarden combines the dermatological concept of “derma” with the imagery of a “garden.” The brand’s core concept, often referred to as “your skin garden,” emphasizes caring for the skin in a gentle and systematic manner.1 Key pillars of their approach include:
* Respecting the skin’s natural condition.
* Providing gentle, safe everyday skincare.
* Integrating cosmetic science with selected natural-origin ingredients.
* Supporting hydration and strengthening the skin barrier.
* Addressing concerns such as sensitivity, dullness, and signs of aging.
* Formulating products suitable for home application.1

Dermagarden offers a broad array of facial skincare products. Its official store lists items such as PDRN Cream, Vita C Cream, Aqua Cream, Clear Cream, Peptide-7 Cream, Cell Repair Boost Serum, Glacier Soothing Mist, and two-phase oil serums.3

The international catalog includes several distinct product lines:
* Aqua: Hydration-focused skincare.
* Clear: Products for sensitive or easily irritated skin.
* Peptide-7: Anti-aging and skin-firming solutions.
* Vita C: Brightening skincare centered on Vitamin C.
* Glutathione: Brightening-oriented formulations.
* Snail 97.1: Skincare utilizing snail-derived ingredients.
* PDRN / Salmon DNA: Products featuring polydeoxyribonucleotide.
* 3D Cell Repair Boost: Intensive skin repair treatments.
* Bingha / Bingha Soothing: Mineral cooling and soothing mists.
* Glow BB Cream: A hybrid complexion makeup and skincare product.1

PDRN and “Salmon DNA”

A prominent marketing theme for Dermagarden is PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide), often referred to as “salmon DNA.” The brand markets PDRN products for skin renewal, hydration, repair, and anti-aging purposes.1 Notable items in this category include the PDRN Serum and PDRN/Salmond DNA Cream.1 Consumers are advised to distinguish between brand marketing claims—such as cellular regeneration or accelerated healing—and independently verified clinical outcomes, as cosmetic standards differ from medical or dermatological treatment regulations.

Other Active Ingredients

Beyond PDRN, Dermagarden utilizes widely recognized cosmetic ingredients. The Peptide-7 range features peptides for firmness, while the Vita C range centers on Vitamin C for brightening. The Snail 97.1 serum uses snail-derived extracts. Additionally, formulations frequently include hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.1

Hyunjin C&T reports that its products are manufactured according to ISO 22176 and ISO 9001 standards. The company also holds patents related to hemp technology. These statements are derived from corporate materials and represent company-reported information.1 Hyunjin C&T identifies itself as an entity involved in the research, development, and manufacturing of specialized skincare products.1

Dermagarden has expanded beyond South Korea, with exports to China, the United States, Japan, and Russia. The company has established offices in Nanning (China), Hanoi (Vietnam), and Clark (Philippines).1 In Southeast Asia, the brand maintains a strong presence in Vietnam, where it operates an official website and storefront featuring its full product range.1

Dermagarden was formally introduced to the Philippine market in May 2024 through distributor Sapphire Beauty & Wellness (SB&W). The launch event was held at the Hilton Grand Ballroom in Newport City, Manila, concurrently with the introduction of fellow South Korean brand Désembre.2

In the Philippines, Dermagarden is positioned as the personal/home skincare brand, complementing Désembre’s focus on professional treatment applications in salons and clinics.4 Initial product offerings highlighted in Philippine coverage included Aqua Cream, Vitamin C Cream, Snail Serum, and Glow BB Cream.5

Regulatory compliance is evidenced by notifications with the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For instance, an FDA record confirms the registration of the Bingha Soothing Cooling Mist, with an issuance date of April 10, 2025.

Dermagarden occupies a niche within the broader Korean skincare (K-beauty) market, blending cosmetic science with natural/gentle skincare concepts. Its portfolio ranges from accessible everyday moisturizers to treatment-oriented products like PDRN and cell-repair formulations. This positions the brand between conventional consumer skincare and the technology-driven “cosmeceutical” segment common among Korean companies.

The brand’s messaging follows a holistic progression: Hydration → Skin Barrier → Repair → Brightening → Anti-aging, rather than targeting a single skin concern exclusively.

It is important to note that Dermagarden is a brand, not a manufacturing company. It is developed and manufactured by Hyunjin C&T. While the Korean official online store identifies Valoview Co., Ltd. as the operating business, corporate materials consistently cite Hyunjin C&T as the developer behind Dermagarden.13
