Japanese skincare expansions are gaining momentum as DECORTÉ brings its signature Liposome collection to 400 Ulta Beauty locations across the United States. The Japanese prestige beauty brand is introducing more American consumers to its specialized skincare formulas, with plans to extend distribution of its Liposome Advanced Repair Serum to 1,200 stores in February 2027.
Originally introduced in 1992, the serum uses Multi-Layered Bio-Liposome Technology to deliver moisture and beneficial ingredients gradually. This layered delivery process supports smoother-looking skin while maintaining hydration over time.
The partnership strengthens DECORTÉ's position in the American beauty market while supporting Ulta Beauty's efforts to introduce international skincare brands. By combining physical retail availability with its existing online presence, DECORTÉ can reach a broader customer base. The expansion also reflects increasing consumer demand for globally recognized beauty products and specialized skincare experiences.
