Visible blemishes looked less noticeable.

“I used it consistently for almost a year. I felt it played a big role in making my breakouts look much less noticeable. It doesn’t feel greasy, and it became a cream I keep coming back to.”

Our Story

We didn’t start as a beauty brand. We started as a lab.

Youlief is the skincare line of PL Story Ltd, a Korean regenerative-medicine company that engineers artificial soft tissue for reconstructive surgery. A company that studies how skin rebuilds itself learns what skin actually needs — and what it doesn’t.

Since 2018, that knowledge has become Korea’s idea of an easy first derma step: gentle, everyday formulas proven on the country’s toughest beauty shelves.
