"With regions like Korea and Japan moving to the forefront of stem cell and regenerative medicine, Asia is primed for a sophisticated beauty line based on cellular science," said George Lee, co-Founder and CEO of JPG Peace, Love and Happiness, Inc. and co-founder of JPGH. "Our experienc and vast network tell us CellCeuticals is the right skin care line at the right time, and we believe it will be extremely well received."

"Regenerative medicine holds the promise of many advancements in both aesthetic and therapeutic treatments," said Histogen investor John Paul Dejoria. "We are excited to partner with Histogen Aesthetics and to help deliver on these promises."

"It is truly exciting to be working with Mr. Lee and Mr. Dejoria, and their expansive network, to bring the line into Asia."
