Dominican-American and Bronx native Priscilla Jiminian was inspired to launch her own beauty brand after experiencing her fair share of skin struggles. She dealt with everything from acne to dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and scarring and couldn't find relief from any of the products she was using. "What led me into the beauty industry was a trip to my parents' country [Dominican Republic] in 2017, where I met and connected with a skin-care formulator through a family member," Jiminian told us. "I explained to her what my personal skin issue was at the time, and that was the start of the journey with our Dark Spot Correcting Cream — which goes way beyond dark spots. Today it is our No. 1 bestselling skin-care solution for those skin concerns." The Skinergy Beauty Dark Spot Correcting Cream ($55) works to reduce, fade, brighten, and lighten dark spots and scars. It can even work to lighten razor scars caused by years of shaving.
"I think in our culture, most women take pride in their appearance and self-care routines. I saw it growing up with my own mother," Jiminian said. "She would always use her face creams, her body lotions, etc., and I picked up on that. It was just a part of our daily routines, really."
