Our Story.

Born from Healing. Built for You.

YOUZU was founded by Tina Dao—a woman, a mother, and a survivor—who transformed her healing journey into a mission to build something more significant than skincare. After years of navigating sensitive skin and the quiet pain that came with it, she realized what was truly missing: a space where people could feel seen, supported, and connected.

YOUZU combines science-backed skincare with a community-driven platform to support not just your skin, but your story. Our mission is to empower individuals through effective and gentle solutions, creating a space that nurtures healing from the inside out.

We are blessed with a team that deeply believes in this vision—a team that shares the conviction that there must be a place where voices are heard, truth is welcomed, and connection is genuine.

At YOUZU, our values are built on authenticity, inclusivity, healing, and empowerment.​ You belong here because your story matters. This is more than a community. It’s a home for those ready to show up as they are, connect through shared experience, and be part of something that sees them fully. Here, you are not alone. And here, you are always enough.
