Taiwan's innovative skincare brand,
AKIMIA, is making its debut in Japan with a pop-up store at Isetan Shinjuku. Running from July 15 to July 28, 2023, it's a unique opportunity for beauty enthusiasts to experience cutting-edge skincare technology combined with scientific expertise.
Founded by Dr.
PeiChi Lee, a biomedical engineer from National Taiwan University, AKIMIA focuses on the fusion of science and technology in skincare. Dr. Lee's research in nanomedicine and transdermal absorption systems spans over a decade, bringing critical insights from the medical field into the beauty realm. One of the standout products of AKIMIA is their patented
ionTrans® microcurrent sheet masks, which deliver a miniaturized spa experience at home.
What separates AKIMIA's sheet masks from others on the market is their ability to generate microcurrents without the need for specialized equipment. Just prior to use, the user simply saturates the mask with serum, which activates a thin 'printed battery' embedded within, allowing for the effective infusion of beauty ingredients deep into the skin. This cutting-edge technology provides busy individuals a quick yet effective skincare solution, enhancing overall skin health.
AKIMIA has garnered multiple awards in Taiwan, and their products sell remarkably well—one is sold every 26 seconds! At the pop-up store, visitors can select from a variety of popular sheet masks, including an exclusive special package that offers all mask types in one box. This gives customers a chance to choose a mask tailored to their skin environment or mood.
In addition to the incredible product offerings, the pop-up event will feature a special talk session with renowned hair and makeup artist
GENSEI on July 18. This session will showcase insights from Dr. Lee and GENSEI, who has built a reputation for elegant makeup styles that transcend gender. GENSEI began their career in Tokyo’s Aoyama district and has since gained fame in Taiwan. Their appearance on Netflix’s upcoming reality series 'Boyfriend' is expected to further boost their popularity in the beauty community.
To celebrate the launch, customers spending over JPY 11,000 will receive a complimentary sheet mask of their choice, and those who purchase two boxes will receive a free gift box. This is an exceptional opportunity to explore the brilliance of AKIMIA's skincare technology firsthand.
