Our Story: Dr. Ishii and his Legacy

Established in 1973, Japan's first cosmetic dermatology clinic, Dr. Ishii Medical Esthetic Salon, was opened in Aoyama, Tokyo by dermatologist Dr. Reijiro Ishii.

Dr. Ishii became the chief consulting physician for major cosmetic brands, such as Kanebo and Max Factor, and he was behind the development of SK-II and its bestselling Facial Treatment Essence.

Putting smiles on the faces of those suffering from skin concerns: this is Dr. Ishii's wish, which has not changed for over 40 years.

"Smile is the best beauty essence"

ORIGIN OF THE FINGGY, Birth of FINGGY MASK®︎ Serum

For years, Dr. Ishii utilized fermentation metabolites in his practice and believed in the power of such natural products.
He especially believed in NAKAMURAKIN®︎, a specific strain of yeast isolated by Nakamura’s Fungus, a sake brewery-turned-manufacturer of biological products established over 160 years ago in Kyoto. 　The FINGGY MASK®︎ Serum is unique because it contains NAKAMURAKIN®︎ Essence, which utilizes NAKAMURAKIN®︎'s key characteristic of optimal fermentation exclusively in Otowa water, sourced from the Kiyomizu-dera temple in Kyoto, as the growth medium.
