Their company, Clariancy, founded last June, brings in home-based beauty devices - which address everything from skin problems to hair removal - from the United States, Britain, Israel and South Korea.
With seven years of medical experience in aesthetics, Dr Lim tests all products rigorously before selection.
While there are 40 products from Clariancy on the market so far, Dr Lim says that the couple are searching for more home- based aesthetic products.
"We're looking at importing a home-use microdermabrasion device that reduces acne and acne scars and revs up skin rejuvenation," he said.
Take a look at Clariancy's latest trio of offerings:
ANSR: BEAM
What: The two-in-one skin-saver kills acne-causing bacteria, reduces fine lines and redness, and lightens scars. It emits harmless high-intensity blue and red LED light waves that kill the bacteria causing breakouts. The light penetrates the skin, stimulating new and healthy cell growth.
Perfect for: Those with acne and problematic skin.
How to use: Press the button once for the blue LED light and twice for the red LED light. Glide it gently over your face twice daily. The light will automatically shut off when your session is complete.
Price: $285 nett. Exclusively available at Clariancy (Parkway Parade, B1-102; Jurong Point 2 Shopping Centre, 03-49; Tampines One, B1-21).
Jecolia says: Finally, I've found salvation from red marks. My face indeed looked more radiant and less red after using this product for a week. I love it because it's easy to use (with only one button, and automatically changing LED lights), and for its travel-friendly size.
SILK'N FACE FX
What: Want to turn back time? Silk'N Face FX does just that, using 24 focused LED lights that channel heat and light energy to the skin, addressing fine lines, pores and texture. It smoothens out wrinkles by inhibiting collagen degradation.
Perfect for: Those with aged and photo-aged skin.
How to use: Use thrice weekly for 15 to 20 minutes each time. Press the applicator head to the skin, focusing on the forehead, cheeks, neck and the skin around the mouth and eyes. You'll feel heat emitted by the LED lights.
Price: $480 nett. Exclusively available at Clariancy.
Jecolia says: As I bask in the glory days of my youth, the task of reviewing this product fell to my father. Or rather, his face. The heat emission was relaxing, he said. But one week is definitely not enough to see a difference. Recommended use before results can be seen is at least eight weeks.
NO! NO! HAIR
What: If you're sick of plucking, shaving or waxing, try the No! No! Hair device, which uses a patented heat technology to remove unwanted hair - on the legs, arms, backs and even the bikini line and upper lips. It painlessly destroys hair follicles and curbs regrowth by up to 94 per cent. Perfect for: Those who are sick of going for hair-removal treatments.
How to use: Use this two to three times a week on the desired area for six to eight weeks. Hold the device at a 90 degree angle and glide it against the grain of hair growth. Finally, use the patented buffer for a smooth finish.
Price: $425 nett. Available at Clariancy.
Jecolia says: Heat treatments naturally take longer than plucking, shaving or waxing. But apart from the smell of burnt hair, my skin did seem smoother after a week of use, with slower hair regrowth, too.
