Discover our approach
From Korea, to everyday routines
Dr.MACYYELL is a beauty and wellness brand from ANDMADE in Korea. The brand’s starting point is an interest in nature-friendly products, traditional Korean knowledge, and modern research.
That perspective shapes how we think about patch design: the product’s form, the details of its surface, and how it fits into everyday use.
Our vision
To build a beauty and wellness brand that earns trust through thoughtful development, clear product information, and lasting relationships.
Our mission
To bring considered patch design into everyday routines, with attention to the product, its directions, and the people who use it.
The details we care about
- Research: keep asking questions and seeking evidence.
- Care: put product directions and cautions within reach.
- Clarity: distinguish each product’s format and intended use.
- Design: consider both the structure and the everyday experience.
- Trust: communicate clearly with customers and partners.
