A CENTURY OF INNOVATION

Japanese Skincare Science For Visibly Even, Radiant Skin. Twenty Years In The Making.

For more than twenty years, Otsuka studied how to support healthy-looking skin’s natural renewal and a more even, radiant-looking tone. Sakuraé brings that research, born of a century of Japanese science, to the U.S. for the first time.

Healthy skin is beautiful skin.

Skin looks more radiant when its natural renewal is working well. Rather than focusing on surface correction alone, Sakuraé is designed to support that healthy-looking skin renewal, for more even-toned skin over time.

The beginning
A Century of Pharmaceutical Science

Founded in Japan in 1921, Otsuka spent decades developing a philosophy rooted in precision, discipline, and long-term research. In 1990, that scientific approach expanded into skincare.

THE CHALLENGE
Twenty Years. One Question.

In 2002, Otsuka Pharmaceutical began researching a different approach to visibly uneven skin: could one serum support both visible tone balance and healthy-looking skin renewal over time? Sakuraé is the answer.

Our solution
Two Benefits. One Serum.

Our Double Action Serum brings AMP, the healthy-looking skin renewal engine, and LVC, the tone regulator, together: a dual-action approach for a more radiant, clearer skin.

Otsuka Is Founded In Japan.

Founded in Tokushima, Japan in 1921, Otsuka built its reputation on long-term scientific research and a philosophy of disciplined innovation. Decades later, that same approach would shape its vision for skincare.

Pharmaceutical Research Meets Skincare.

In 1990, Otsuka made a deliberate decision: to apply the same pharmaceutical-grade discipline used in healthcare research to skincare. Not to temporarily mask visible concerns, but to support healthier-looking skin over time.
