RELENT Cosmetics was founded in Japan on August 18, 1967. For more than five decades, the company has been dedicated to creating premium skincare that combines the power of nature with advanced Japanese cosmetic science.
The name RELENT represents the ideas of relaxation, comfort, and well-being. Its logo, featuring two traditional Japanese dolls, symbolizes harmony between nature and beauty as well as a gentle, caring spirit. The brand’s philosophy is centered on achieving naturally healthy, balanced skin with optimal hydration, refined-looking pores, firmness, and a clear, radiant complexion.
Natural Beauty Through Science
RELENT believes that truly effective skincare begins with nature. Its formulations combine carefully selected botanical ingredients, traditional Eastern herbal ingredients, and modern cosmetic technologies developed through decades of Japanese research. The brand’s guiding principle — “Harmony and Nature” — is reflected throughout its skincare collections.
RELENT places particular emphasis on supporting the skin’s natural ability to maintain moisture, firmness, smoothness, and a healthy-looking appearance. Its formulas combine nourishing oils, plant extracts, vitamins, ceramides, collagen, and other conditioning ingredients to create rich yet skin-compatible care.
YOKIBI — The Art of Timeless Beauty
YOKIBI is RELENT’s signature anti-ageing collection, inspired by the legendary beauty of Princess Yang Guifei (Yokibi) and traditional Eastern beauty rituals. The philosophy is based on deep nourishment, intensive moisturization, and comprehensive care for mature and tired-looking skin.
The collection features ingredients such as squalane, jojoba oil, ceramides, plant-derived polysaccharides, royal jelly, hydrolyzed proteins, amino acids, and numerous botanical extracts. The formulations are designed to leave the skin deeply moisturized, nourished, supple, and visibly smoother, while helping to improve the appearance of fine lines and uneven complexion.
One of the distinctive characteristics of YOKIBI is its luxurious sensory experience. Rich textures, nourishing formulations, and a refined amber-and-musk fragrance are combined into a ritual-like approach to skincare.
LA-CERARL — Brightness, Clarity & Anti-Ageing Care
LA-CERARL is RELENT’s targeted skincare collection for skin affected by pigmentation, freckles, dullness, uneven tone, dehydration, and visible signs of ageing. At the heart of the collection is Vitamin C, supported by a complex of botanical ingredients and other skin-conditioning actives.
Different LA-CERARL formulas incorporate vitamin C derivatives, Japanese birch sap, water-soluble collagen, ceramides, squalane, vitamins A and E, and a broad selection of traditional herbal extracts. The Doreor Runny Vitamin C Serum provides a concentrated Vitamin C treatment designed to improve the appearance of pigmentation and uneven skin tone. The Doreor 3D collagen treatment combines collagen with a serum containing apple stem cell extract, seaweed extract, hyaluronic acid and ceramides.
Two Complementary Approaches
Together, YOKIBI and LA-CERARL represent two complementary directions within the RELENT philosophy — luxurious nourishment and deep hydration on one side, targeted brightness and pigmentation care on the other — both reflecting RELENT’s core philosophy of combining nature, traditional beauty wisdom, and Japanese cosmetic research.
