Ring the Bell, trading under the name resear, is a South Korean company specializing in skincare products, focusing on innovations that enhance skin hydration and barrier restoration through scientifically formulated offerings. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, Resear operates within the skincare industry, providing targeted solutions for skin health. The company was established as a standalone entity and has maintained its focus on developing effective skincare products. The founder has a background in skincare formulation and has previously been involved in other product development ventures.

In November 2025, Resear successfully raised an undisclosed amount in seed funding led by Mashup Ventures, marking its first major investment round. Resear specializes in skincare products, with its flagship offering being the KimBap Roll Mask Sheet. This product is designed for effective skin hydration and barrier restoration, utilizing a unique formulation of human-friendly ingredients, including birch sap, providing a pH-balanced, low-acidity experience. The mask is particularly beneficial for individuals with sensitive skin, helping to alleviate concerns such as redness and irritation by enhancing the absorption of active ingredients.

Resear's products are marketed primarily in South Korea and are also available in select international markets, including North America and Europe, targeting consumers interested in innovative skincare solutions. Resear employs a direct-to-consumer sales model, primarily through its online platform, allowing customers to purchase products individually or in bulk. The KimBap Roll Mask Sheet is sold in boxes containing ten sheets, reflecting the premium nature of the product. Revenue is generated from both one-time purchases and potential subscription offerings for customers seeking consistent skincare solutions.

The pricing strategy positions Resear's products as high-quality options that cater to consumers focusing on ingredient integrity and efficacy in personal care. Resear is actively developing new skincare products aimed at enhancing its product range. The company plans to launch these new offerings in late 2025. Additionally, it has mapped out expansion strategies targeting markets in Southeast Asia and Europe by mid-2026.

The recent seed funding raised in November 2025 will be utilized to support these product developments and market expansions, ensuring that Resear can effectively reach new customers and enhance its brand presence.
