Interview
CIMOR, Taiwan
Founded in 2022, CIMOR redefines skincare as a lifestyle, merging Taiwan’s cutting-edge medical technology with refined design to make high-performance products part of everyday life. Led by a multidisciplinary team with backgrounds in fashion, visual, industrial, and commercial design, CIMOR integrates function and beauty across every detail—transforming medical-grade innovation into a daily aesthetic experience.
1 Please provide us with a brief introduction about yourself and your professional background.
Our core design team members span the fields of fashion design, visual design, industrial design, and commercial design. Whether it's product design, visual design, packaging, or brand identity, this diversity allows us to think more creatively, ensuring that our designs are functional, convenient, and aesthetically pleasing, while also meeting the contemporary market's demand for a perfect blend of design and technology. The CIMOR series is designed for one-handed use, emphasizing convenience and ease of operation, allowing consumers to use the products effortlessly with just one hand.
2 When did you, and what drove you to, establish this particular brand?
CIMOR was established in 2022. It stems from our belief that skincare is not merely a daily routine but a lifestyle philosophy. It also aims to promote Taiwan's proprietary medical technologies. We blend functionality with aesthetics, transforming technology originally reserved for medical use—high-spec, high-cost—into an extension of lifestyle aesthetics. This allows it to become a daily ritual, where enjoying the benefits of medical technology also aligns with our commitment to the beauty of life, making it easier to experience the beauty of everyday living.
3 Please enlighten us with your brand’s background and inspiration?
The “M” in CIMOR represents an ancient Rune symbol, embodying the meanings of protection and infinity. It can be interpreted as a powerful protective force, symbolizing endless energy and the continuity of life. This is a core element of our product, and we aim for it to be a lifelong source of skin protection for our customers, enabling their skin to continuously improve and evolve. Therefore, our product is designed with no limits in mind. Our packaging design incorporates eco-friendly principles, drawing inspiration from the texture of human skin. The main visual design of our product ingredients is inspired by Taiwan's mountains, seas, and skies, and we have developed our Taiwanese biomedical technology to connect local biomedical expertise and laboratory resources, creating a high-performance skincare brand that truly embodies the spirit of Taiwan.
4 Whom are your brand’s target audiences?
CIMOR strives to serve customers who truly benefit from our products. Our target audience is high-end, with a high level of knowledge. They understand these ingredients and how these professional formulas can bring infinite improvement and ultimate results to their skin. Through our specially designed application methods, we help them create a daily skincare routine that becomes a way of life.
5 What exalting innovations has your brand brought to the industry and what makes it differ from your competitors’ innovations?
CIMOR is the pioneering brand to utilize MRGF patented peptides of medical-grade quality within daily skincare formulations, effectively mimicking the body’s natural repair mechanisms to yield truly effective skincare solutions. In our perspective, innovation is rooted in the redefinition of beauty through simplicity. We eschew ostentatious embellishments in favor of a “subtractive design” philosophy that emphasizes deeper conceptualization. Every element, from our carefully designed packaging to the minimalist and user-centric approach, respects the intricate relationship among time, the body, and space. For us, innovation transcends complexity; it is fundamentally about a precise design philosophy. Each of our products is developed with the formulation precision characteristic of serums, and we have consolidated our entire biotechnology laboratory into a comprehensive, one-stop service. This Taiwanese patent constitutes the most innovative aspect of our brand.
6 Region-wise, what unique qualities does your brand offer, making it the primary choice for customers?
CIMOR is inspired by the dynamic and efficient lifestyle characteristic of Taiwan. We advocate for skincare that is both straightforward and effective. Contemporary luxury, as we perceive it, is increasingly defined not by external extravagance, but by an integrated harmony of inner balance and effective beauty. Our brand design is rooted in the principle that "simplicity is elegance," which ensures that skincare practices are intuitive and effective, while simultaneously embodying a sense of ritual and high-end visual appeal.
7 Throughout the years, how do you maintain the level of class and finesse that you persistently bring to your brand’s table?
Our products have been around for a long time. On average, it takes us two years to develop a single product. We insist that every product we launch must have a compelling reason to exist. We pay meticulous attention to every detail of the R&D process, from ingredients, texture, and efficacy to packaging design, ensuring that they all meet our dual standards of “elegance” and “effectiveness.” We do not rush to expand our product range but instead focus on creating products that can be trusted and chosen by high-end users over the long term. Our repurchase rate stands at 88%. Customers are highly satisfied with the results and feel that the elegance of our skincare products stems from the perfect balance of quality and efficacy. This trust, built on data and customer feedback, is the greatest strength of our brand.
8 From a developmental aspect, what projections, and electrifying agendas, have been made regarding your brand’s future (those of which can be disclosed)?
Our brand will begin planning offline development in the future. We want consumers to be able to see our products face-to-face and up close. We will set up professional equipment on site to help customers test their skin, and at the same time, our consumers can come directly to our physical counters or stores to experience our design aesthetics and the overall atmosphere.
9 Congratulations! Your brand has won the iLuxury Awards this year. As the winner of the iLuxury Awards, what does it mean for you and your brand to receive this distinction?
This honor is not only a recognition of our design, but also a global endorsement of the CIMOR brand philosophy. We create a simple, pure, and effective skincare philosophy for contemporary high-end lifestyles. For our consumers, winning the iLuxury Awards also symbolizes that the brand they have chosen is a true representative of luxury that is trustworthy, tasteful, and of the highest quality.
10 Based on your personal opinion, what is it that has allowed the iLuxury experts to bestow this grandiose accolade upon your brand?
As designers, we understand that aesthetics and design are not achieved overnight. They are the result of long-term accumulation, persistence, and deepening of ideas. Truly valuable design should not be based on imitation and replication, but rather on a clear and profound core concept that can build a visual experience with soul. From packaging design and ingredient selection to every tactile experience, we scrutinize every detail with the highest standards. For CIMOR, luxury is not superficial; it is a precisely defined everyday experience. It must be truly effective, pure, and deeply connected to life. This commitment to detail and rhythm is the essence of our brand spirit and the core value behind this award.
11 Based on your personal judgment, what defines a product or service to be “luxurious”?
I believe that contemporary luxury, true luxury, and the ability to experience it can be defined according to one's values and used to satisfy customer needs. My definition is how to satisfy customers' true needs, rather than pretending to design a product, but rather creating something that can truly solve their problems after use, while also solving everyone's needs. This is the true society, where value exceeds money.
12 Within the last decade, what distinct developments have you witnessed in your industry?
Over the past decade, the skincare industry has transitioned from a focus on perceived effectiveness to one centered on genuine efficacy. The definition of luxury skincare has evolved; it is no longer confined to opulent packaging and marketing tactics but rather emphasizes the authenticity of ingredients, the effectiveness of formulations, and their capacity to deliver meaningful results for consumers. Today's consumers are more informed and discerning, prioritizing inquiries such as, "What tangible benefits does this product provide?" instead of merely asking, "Which brand is this?" CIMOR was established with the objective of offering truly valuable skincare solutions. Our formulations are specifically designed to cater to individuals who lead high-pressure lifestyles, featuring highly concentrated products, straightforward application processes, and an indulgent sensory experience.
