"This is the inspiring rags-to-riches story of a Taiwanese youngster, Ruey Yu, born into a ravaged and occupied country, who went on to co-found and build a multi-million-dollar American skin care empire: NeoStrata. |

Born into poverty in Japanese-occupied Taiwan, Ruey Yu overcame near-starvation during the Second World War. Destiny, however, had other plans for him: he was to become an award-winning biochemist. After living through the Second World War and the post-war military dictatorship of General Chiang Kai-Shek, Dr. Yu won a coveted post-graduate scholarship to study chemistry at the University of Ottawa. He subsequently took up a research position at the renowned Skin and Cancer Hospital (Temple University) in Philadelphia, where he collaborated with pre-eminent dermatologist Dr. Eugene Van Scott to develop treatments for serious skin diseases. |

In 1972, Dr. Yu and Dr. Van Scott discovered that fruit acids, known as AHAs, could effectively treat the disfiguring skin disease ichthyosis, changing the lives of thousands of people who suffered from this debilitating illness. Their further research into the biochemical properties of AHAs led to the discovery of the anti-wrinkle and anti-aging effects of these natural substances—a discovery that was licensed by skin care companies around the world, sparking the multi-billion-dollar cosmeceutical industry. |

Now in his 80s, Dr. Ruey Yu continues to work in the lab every day, hunting for biomarkers that could be used for early diagnosis of Alzheimers's and other diseases. In 2016, Dr. Yu and Dr. Van Scott sold NeoStrata to Johnson&Johnson, which is expanding the company's research labs into a centre of excellence for dermatological research." (Book Cover) |
