U Beauty

U Beauty was founded in 2019 by Tina Chen Craig, a beauty entrepreneur known as the original beauty influencer (she founded the Bag Snob blog in 2005). The brand launched with a single product, the Resurfacing Compound, built on a proprietary SIREN Capsule technology that delivers retinol only to areas of skin that need it, bypassing healthy cells. This targeted delivery approach aims to provide retinol results without retinol side effects. The concept earned genuine interest from the dermatological community. With 5 products across 3 categories averaging 80/100 at the luxury tier, U Beauty's focused range delivers innovative delivery technology in a curated product selection.
