Meet ECLADO: Korea's No.1 Medical Cosmetic Brand, Now Fully Stocked at Dear Glow

Ask a Korean esthetician what sits on the shelf behind the counter, not the one facing customers, and one name comes up more often than most: ECLADO. It isn't a brand built for viral unboxings or pastel packaging. It's the kind of label you find in clinics and professional skin studios, where the people using it every day have no patience for products that don't do what they claim.

Until recently, getting your hands on ECLADO outside Korea meant asking a friend to bring some back. That's changed. ECLADO is now fully stocked in Singapore through Dear Glow, and this guide walks through the entire lineup: what the brand is, and what each product actually does.

What Is ECLADO, and Why Do Korean Clinics Trust It?

ECLADO has been formulating what the industry calls "medical cosmetics" since 1998. The name comes from two French words: éclat, meaning shine, and doux, meaning soft, which sums up the brand's approach fairly well: visible results, without the harshness that often comes with clinical-grade skincare.

Today, ECLADO is used by more than 8,000 esthetic businesses across Korea and has reached professionals in 44 countries. It has been named Korea's No.1 Medical Cosmetic Brand and has won the Korea Consumer Appraisal Grand Prize for Medical Cosmetics three years running: 2024, 2025, and 2026. It also reports an 86% repurchase rate over a six-month period, a number that says more about the products than any single review could.

The Melaser Line: Targeted Brightening

Melaser is ECLADO's signature brightening system, built around a patented ingredient called ELL-7 White (Patent No. 10-1666783), formulated with botanical extracts and fermentation to help prevent melanin formation and reduce oxidative stress. The line runs in a fixed order: Whitening Toner (150ml) preps and hydrates with Niacinamide, Citrus Junos extract, and Hyaluronic Acid, followed by the Whitening Serum (50ml), a more concentrated dose with Alpha-Bisabolol, Squalane, and Beta-Glucan.

The Turn Over Cream (50g) is the line's exfoliating step, formulated with fruit-based AHAs. It's a night-only product, used just 2 to 3 times a week rather than daily, and it isn't for skin with a compromised barrier or open wounds; barrier repair should come first. The final step, Radiance Cream (70g), seals everything in with Glutathione, Alpha-Bisabolol, and Squalane for what the brand describes as instant glow.

All four products can be bought individually, or as the Melaser Brightening Set, which bundles the full routine.

Exo Clinica: Built for Sensitive, Reactive Skin

Where Melaser is about tone, Exo Clinica is about calming skin that's already under stress. The line runs on what ECLADO calls its EXO-Soothing Protein Complex, built with Centella Asiatica callus extracellular vesicles (Centella exosomes), and it's been clinically tested for redness improvement, hydration, and pore appearance on sensitive skin.

The Toner (500ml) is a daily first step with Adenosine and Madecassoside. The Gel (300ml) is the most flexible product in the line: it can be used after a serum, in place of one, or specifically for damaged skin, dryness, or redness after a procedure. The Cream (50g) closes out the evening routine with Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid, and eight types of Hyaluronic Acid, and is meant for focused turnover use once redness has settled. The UV Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ (50g) carries the same Centella exosome and Glutathione base into a chemical (non-mineral) sunscreen, clinically tested for 24-hour protection with minimal white cast.

As with Melaser, all four are sold separately or together as the Exo Clinica Renewal Set.

Rescuer Cica Balm: The One Sold in Pharmacies, Too

The Rescuer Cica Balm (50g) is one of ECLADO's better-known products, partly because it isn't confined to clinics. It's also sold in Korean pharmacies, formulated around the patented BSASM ingredient complex (Patent No. 10-0812596) and Centella, and carries an EWG Verified Green grade along with dermatologist and clinical soothing testing.

It's meant for skin that's recently been through something: post-procedure recovery, flushing from environmental changes, tightness from dryness, or a compromised barrier. If your skin reacts easily and you've been looking for a balm that sits between "medical" and "gentle enough to actually use," this is the one to start with.

The Cleansing System: Three Steps, Built to Layer

ECLADO's cleansing line is designed as a system rather than four unrelated products. Purifying Cleanser (500ml) is a milk cleanser suited to sensitive skin, meant as a first-step cleanse on lighter days, SPF only or light base makeup. Perfect Cleansing Smoothie Balm (200ml) covers the same first step but with more makeup-removing power, doubling as an all-in-one lip, eye, and base makeup remover for heavier or long-wearing looks.

Either one is typically followed by Enhancer Mild Cleanser (500ml), a gentle foam cleanser that acts as the second step to rinse everything away, mild enough for daily, whole-family use. For a deeper weekly reset, Enzyme Deep Cleanser Pure Powder (100g) mixes with lukewarm water into a rich foam to clear out buildup, recommended once a week, or once every two weeks for very sensitive skin.

Treatment and Finishing Touches

A few more products round out the ECLADO lineup. The Cell Memory Cream (50g) is a daily anti-aging cream formulated with Salmon DNA (also known as PDRN), a compound with a base composition close to human tissue DNA that supports skin renewal and density.

The Rejuven Fiber and Ampoule System is a two-part treatment mask: an Amino Fiber Mask built on Polyglutamic Acid, mixed fresh with an ampoule containing Peptide, Niacinamide, a Collagen elasticity booster, and a botanical blend that includes Willow Bark and Baikal Skullcap Root. It's registered as a brightening and anti-wrinkle dual-functional cosmetic.

The Oxygen Bubble Pack (120ml) uses MSM and generated oxygen bubbles for pore care and a boost of vitality, suited to all skin types. The Whitening Enhancer Sun Blemish Balm SPF38 PA+++ (50g) is a tinted, blemish-balm-style sunscreen registered as a brightening and UV-protection dual-functional cosmetic, combining a physical filter (Titanium Dioxide) with chemical UV filters. Finally, the Golden Sandalwood Gua Sha (Comb-Shaped) is a facial massage tool made from sandalwood, meant to pair with the Exo Clinical Gel or your own serum. 

FAQ

What's the difference between Melaser and Exo Clinica?
Melaser is ECLADO's brightening system, built around the patented ELL-7 White ingredient to target tone and melanin. Exo Clinica is the sensitive-skin and barrier-care system, built around Centella exosome technology, aimed at calming, hydrating, and daily UV protection.

Do I need to double cleanse every day?
It depends on your day. If you only wore SPF or light base makeup, Purifying Cleanser alone is enough. If you wore heavier makeup or have oily skin, follow it with Enhancer Mild Cleanser as a second step.

Can I use the Melaser Turn Over Cream every night?
No. It's formulated for 2 to 3 uses a week as part of your evening routine, not for daily use, and it shouldn't be used on a compromised skin barrier or open wounds.

Are all ECLADO products imported directly from Korea?
Yes. Dear Glow imports ECLADO products directly from ECLADO's Korea headquarters, so what you're buying is guaranteed authentic stock.

The Honest Take

Twenty products is a lot to take in at once, so don't try to buy the whole lineup on day one. Start with whichever concern is loudest right now. If your skin is reactive or recovering from something, start with the Rescuer Cica Balm or the Exo Clinica line. If tone and brightness are the goal, start with Melaser. Build the rest of your routine around that one answer, not around the full catalog.
