Every great skincare story begins with a small obsession, and for Catherine Andres Gamo, chief executive officer (CEO) of Pharmline Medforce Inc., that obsession grew into a full-fledged beauty empire.
In September 2024, Catherine traveled to Korea, where she met Lamelin, and what happened next?
She was shaken. She experienced “instant shine.”
Naturally, she shared it with her husband, Enrico Gamo, as well as the family and barkada. Everyone gasped at their own reflections.
“The results spoke louder than words. The circle grew,” Catherine revealed.
But Catherine did not stop there. She flew back to Korea, shook hands with the big bosses and on 27 June 2025, Pharmline Medforce Inc. was named Lamelin’s official distributor in the Philippines.
Plot twist: on the same day, her daughter Katrina Santos was named PrettySkin and Lamelin’s brand ambassador. And get this: the offer came directly from the chief executive officers of Lamelin and PrettySkin Korea.
Then came 15 July 2025 — the day Lamelin officially slid into our digital DMs (direct messages) with the launch of . Yes, their skincare closet is now just a click away.
Lamelin Philippines is about more than simply products; it is about creating a legacy of beauty, starting with a skincare discovery made by one lady and growing into a family-powered movement.
A story based on friendship, family and the conviction that skincare products should be effective. Or, as Catherine beautifully stated: The outcomes were more powerful than words. Because everyone rises, shines and glows when beauty is shared with family, friends and the entire community.
Leading the charge behind this beauty breakthrough is the Glow Dream Team — a powerhouse lineup that brings Korean innovation and Filipino passion together. At the helm is Jung Bung Sub, CEO of Lamelin & PrettySkin Korea, alongside Ryan Cho, the brand’s sales manager and Joonsoo Kim, export manager, with Joo Hoang, manager of Lamelin & PrettySkin Korea, completing the Korean core.
From the Philippine side, the vision is steered by Catherine Andres-Gamo, CEO of Pharmline Medforce Inc., with strong support from her husband Enrico Gamo, the company’s finance head. Together, this squad is making sure Lamelin’s glow story shines brighter than ever in the Philippines.
