How Exfoliating Cleansing Cream and All-in-One Essence Saved the Day (and a Marriage)

Sometimes, a little skincare can make all the difference—not just for your skin but for your whole day! Here’s a fun story from the early days of DrLOUIE that we thought you’d enjoy.

The founder, Dr. Louie Kim’s wife found herself in just such a moment one evening after a heated argument. As with any couple, they were fighting over household chores, which quickly escalated to a heated argument.

Feeling frustrated and emotionally drained, she thought the best solution was to spend a few days away at a hotel to clear her mind. After all, as a first-generation immigrant in Canada, she didn’t have close family or friends nearby to vent to. A spa-like hotel retreat with a soothing massage sounded like the perfect escape.

She quickly packed her things, but before leaving, she realized two important items were missing from her bag—her favorite DrLOUIE Exfoliating Cleansing Cream and All-in-One Essence.

However, there was one problem: both products were in the bedroom bathroom where Dr. Kim was comfortably watching a movie. Confronting him was not an option in her mind, but leaving without her skincare essentials seemed unthinkable.

Exfoliating Cleansing Cream, with its gentle, biodegradable jojoba beads and deep-cleansing yet nourishing formula, is her go-to for fresh, radiant skin to remove her face make up and dead skin cells. Not to mention the nourishing power of the All-in-One Essence for Dry skin, which hydrates and revitalizes her skin with Vitamins C, E, B5, B2, and hyaluronic acid, in just one step, without the need for other toners, serums, moisturizers and face oils for day and night.

These weren’t just skincare products; they were her daily ritual, and she couldn’t imagine spending even one night without them.

Faced with the dilemma of either confronting her husband to retrieve her beloved skincare or running away without them, she chose neither. Instead, she decided to stay home—proof that sometimes, the little things we love can bring us back to peace.

And this all happened before the birth of another one of her favorite DrLOUIE products: Vitamin C Serum, now a staple in her skincare routine for brightening and protecting her skin, with 20% L-ascorbic acid and hyaluronic acid. Imagine if she had had to leave without that too!

So if you ever find yourself at a crossroads, remember: good skincare is worth staying home for.
