Aestura

AESTURA is the dermocosmetic brand of Amorepacific, Korea's largest beauty group. Its roots go back to Pacific Pharma, founded in 1982, and the name comes from 'estuary', the fertile meeting point of river and sea, an image the brand uses for combining experience and research to improve skin concerns.

For years AESTURA was sold through hospitals and dermatology clinics. The original Atobarrier Cream launched there in 2008, built on Amorepacific's patented DermaON technology, a moisturising structure that mimics the lipids found in the skin barrier. In 2018 the Atobarrier line gained medical-device certification in Korea for clinic use.

Because patients found it hard to buy the cream outside clinic visits, AESTURA moved into retail. In September 2018 it launched the Atobarrier 365 line at Olive Young, with '365' added to signal daily use. The Atobarrier 365 Cream was upgraded in January 2024 with long-chain and linker ceramides in a denser capsule structure, and the line now spans lotion, hydro essence, body lotion and more.

For shoppers, AESTURA is a dependable pick when skin is dry, tight or reactive. Use the cream morning and night on the face, the lotion or body lotion after showering, and keep the rest of your routine simple while your skin settles.
