Why a plastic surgeon built a skincare brand

After two decades in the operating room, Dr. Shim Ching kept noticing the same thing. Some patients simply looked better, sooner. Their skin seemed to bounce back from stress in a way others didn't. The answer wasn't hydration. It was recovery. ShimChingMD is built on that observation: skincare formulated to support the look of calm, strong, resilient skin through everything life puts it through.

Meet the Formulator

A Board Certified Plastic Surgeon's approach to skincare.

Dr. Shim Ching is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with over two decades of experience transforming faces in the operating room. What he learned there, about collagen, recovery, and the science of looking younger, informs every formulation in this collection.

"The most effective skincare isn't what the industry tells you to want. It's what a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon would actually put on their own patients."

Frequently Asked

Everything you need to know.

What makes ShimChingMD different from other skincare brands?
Every product is formulated by Dr. Shim Ching, a board-certified plastic surgeon with 20+ years of experience. Most luxury skincare is developed by marketing teams. Ours is formulated by a surgeon who treats these concerns every day in his practice.
Is this safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. All products are clinically formulated to be effective without irritation. Our retinol formulas in particular use gentler delivery systems that deliver clinical-strength results while being tolerable for most skin types.
How soon will I see results?
Many people notice their skin looking smoother and more radiant within the first several weeks of consistent use. Results vary by individual and product. Our Age Defense Retinol Serum 5X is clinically studied, with visible improvement in the appearance of fine lines over 8 weeks.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes. We stand behind every product with a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied, contact our team for a full refund, no questions asked.
Can I use these products together?
