Today we’d like to introduce you to Jenny Nguyen.
Hi Jenny, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I was a beauty distributor for emerging brands and some of my biggest clients were NYX Cosmetics and Filorga Skincare. During that time, I learned that many customers are confused and overwhelmed with all the marketing jargon and fraudulent claims, so it was hard to figure out what will tackle their issues.
This leads to experimenting, which can be very costly. Plus, if they finally found the one, they might have to go through trial and error again as the skin is always changing as we age.
Thus, we started Y’OUR with the philosophy: skincare that JUST works. Right after hitting the market, our products became a success as a lot of customers have the problem and resonate with our solutions.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Of course not, there are always struggles. For myself, it was quite a challenge to get a foot into the beauty industry, considering my background is almost 100% in computer science. But my persistence and determination led the way to me becoming the official distributor for many brands.
In regards to Y’OUR, when our sales go up, we would run into inventory and cash flow problems. On the other hand, when our sales stagger, we would worry that we are not meeting our growth trajectory. Nevertheless, they are all “good” struggles as we firmly believe in our vision and we know we are doing meaningful work and helping people achieve their best selves.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Y’OUR specializes in personalized skincare using AI and human expertise. Our goal is for every person to have the confidence that comes with having great skin. We put great work into curating the safest and most effective ingredients that just work with their biology and lifestyle and target all their concerns.
We make sure to always revolve around the five pillars:
1. Your skin doesn’t care about pretty packaging: We put our money where it really matters—into the ingredients.
2. No cloud creams or in-the-cloud claims: We put real results efficacy first. We’re not another feel-good skincare line.
3. Long-term wins beat short-term gains: We focus on lasting change, not immediate but temporary results.
4. Skincare shouldn’t require its own calendar: Our systems are easy to use and don’t require 11 steps.
5. Inside Out is more than a great Pixar movie: We take a holistic view—caring for our skin and the whole of our bodies.
We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
My favorite memory would be working on math problems with my cofounder when I was ten. Little did I know that fate would reunite us 20 years later and start a company together, solving more than just algebra but also providing solutions to change lives.
Pricing:
- Our personalized skincare regimen is up there at $180 per set.
- But we offer a payment plan starting at $69/month
