hi there! my name is christine and i'm the founder of apothecary. we use data and our community's real skincare experiences to find what works for your unique skin needs & goals.

my skincare journey started since literal birth - eczema runs in my family, and.. throw ruthless boston winters and teenage acne into that equation and you've got a very itchy, pimply little girl. i still remember wandering the pharmacy aisles not knowing what would actually work and feeling pretty hopeless. it wasn't until i started researching ingredients and engaging with others in supportive skincare groups online that i realized that beautiful, glowy skin was within my reach.

i learned to be patient with and kind to my skin and made a few skincare fanatic friends along the way. this process really did change my life, and no matter where you are on your skincare journey - i really believe it could change yours too.

love and light always,

christine hong
