Though former tech executive Sabrina Tan first started the business in Singapore, we're choosing to include it in this list since it's predicated on Japanese techniques and ingredients. (The encapsulation technique used on the brand's seminal line of serums actually uses patented Japanese technology).

Must-have products: It's tough to beat the Skin Inc My Daily Dose Custom-Blended Serum Set, $84. Thanks to the Japanese encapsulation technology, it offers a unique way to blend the active ingredients of your choice. We're also loving Skin Inc Pure Serum-Mist, $55 — it's packed with glycerin and hyaluronic acid and is oh-so-hydrating.
