- Caregen Co., Ltd. is a South Korean biotechnology company specializing in the research, development, and commercialization of biomimetic peptides and peptide-based products across multiple healthcare segments. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Anyang-Si, South Korea, Caregen's main offerings include dermal fillers marketed under brands such as REVOFIL, DR.CYJ, PROSTROLANE, PROSTROLANE B-Series, and CG Styler 600; skin care products under Dermaheal, PURILUX whitening, Pim-Pim-Paul, and Neovert; scalp care products branded Renokin and Pelo Baum; and health foods including proGsterol. In addition, the company develops pharmaceutical treatments and medical equipment addressing conditions like COVID-19, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, hair loss, arthritis, wounds, and obesity, alongside cosmetic applications such as wrinkle improvement, whitening, acne care, and UV protection. Caregen also produces food supplements for blood sugar regulation, liver function improvement, hangover cure, cholesterol control, and body fat reduction.
Recent major developments include strategic partnerships and market expansions, notably a joint venture with Indian wellness brand VLCC Health Care Ltd to market Caregen's cosmeceutical products in India and other countries, leveraging VLCC's manufacturing facilities to enhance competitive positioning. Additionally, Caregen entered an in-licensing agreement with Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd, India's largest contract development and manufacturing organization, to launch specialty nutraceuticals, differentiated topical and injectable cosmeceuticals, and pharmaceuticals tailored for the Indian market. These alliances emphasize Caregen's focus on expanding its geographic footprint and product offerings in fast-growing wellness and healthcare sectors.
