In an industry often obsessed with aesthetics, Cotrini Skincare is proving that real beauty starts with healing—from the inside out. At the helm of this movement is founder Camilo Triana, whose bold integration of salmon DNA into luxury skincare is redefining the standards for wellness, results, and long-term skin health.
“I’ve always been a huge fan of skincare, esthetics, and plastics,” Triana says. With a successful oral care company already under his belt, Triana brought his entrepreneurial instincts and clinical curiosity to a new challenge: skincare that doesn’t just mask flaws, but restores skin at the cellular level.
His journey began during the pandemic with a single salmon sperm facial.
“I actually ended up getting that salmon sperm facial done on me,” he shares. “It was just remarkable because it completely changed my skin.”
From that moment, Cotrini was born. Triana immersed himself in the formulation world of South Korea, where salmon DNA had already been used for over a decade in medical-grade injectables known as “skin boosters.”
“They found that injecting it in patients with bed sores healed tissue rapidly,” Triana explains. “But they also saw that it was exploding with collagen and hydration.”
Salmon sperm DNA isn’t just trendy—it’s clinically fascinating. With its near-identical molecular structure to human DNA, it integrates seamlessly into the skin’s natural repair processes. While originally reserved for injections, Cotrini took a bold step forward: bringing this regenerative power to topical skincare, backed by clinical trials.
“I wanted to take these innovations… and introduce them into skincare topically, and then do clinical studies to prove that they are really effective.”
The numbers speak volumes. “We got 65% improved hydration after 48 hours and 82% after day four,” Triana reports. “Some people notice results overnight, depending on their skin type.”
But Cotrini’s mission has always been deeper than beauty.
“What sets us apart is that we’re not just here to make you look good. We’re here to help you take care of what you have,” Triana emphasizes. “Our goal is to help you cherish and heal your skin.”
From calming rosacea and perioral dermatitis to helping post-injury healing, Cotrini’s real-world impact goes beyond the surface. One user even reported a full turnaround from months of antibiotic treatment to healthy skin in three days.
Hollywood took notice. After The Valley’s Janet Caperna used the Ultra Hydrating Night Cream to fade a lip injury from a dog bite—one that doctors warned would scar—she became a Cotrini brand ambassador. Her results caught the attention of Scheana Shay, who now stars alongside her in the brand’s billboard campaign on Sunset Boulevard.
“Scheana reached out to us because she loved the eye patches and was introduced to the product by Janet,” says Triana. “It was kind of amazing because of how organically it all happened.”
That authenticity is core to Cotrini’s growth. With real results and real stories driving momentum, the brand’s expanding range includes micro-dart eye patches that dissolve overnight, infusing the skin with salmon DNA and botanicals.
“They stay on all night,” Triana explains. “Scheana loves them for her smile lines and under-eyes.”
Cotrini also incorporates traditional Chinese medicine-derived botanicals, known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Together with pharmaceutical-level salmon DNA, the brand is forging a unique synergy of modern science and heritage healing.
And now, Cotrini’s sights are set even higher. Triana envisions bridging the cosmetic and medical space, creating treatments for burns, post-surgical recovery, and other clinical uses.
“We’re pioneering clinical studies,” he says. “We don’t want to be a one-trick pony. Some of these technologies that are not available here are incredible… they just need a vessel.”
That vessel? Cotrini. The brand is preparing to launch a new day cream and micro-dart patches for glabella lines (a.k.a. “the 11s”) this fall—designed to treat expression lines with the same precision as its under-eye patches.
“I’m thrilled about the launch of our new day cream,” says Triana. “It’s something so many have been asking for. Not only is it perfect for daytime hydration and protection, but it’s also designed for both the face and neck. We’re also introducing our latest micro-dart patches specifically for the 11’s—those stubborn frown lines between the brows.”
Whether you’re dealing with aging, inflammation, or post-procedural recovery, Cotrini is stepping into the space where cosmetic luxury meets clinical integrity.
“We are the leaders in this new trend of salmon DNA,” Triana states. “But more importantly, we’re helping people heal. That’s what keeps us going.”
For Cotrini, the future isn’t just about skincare. It’s about changing lives through science—one face, one formula, one clinical trial at a time.
