Cotrini is known as a unique game-changing skincare brand born from founder Camilo Triana with his real-world experience, struggles, and reference to innovative Smithsonian research clinical trials, built for those who demand real results.

Camilo Triana is a seasoned industry vet with deep roots in healthcare, dermatology, and cosmetics, Cotrini isn’t just another label — it’s a movement redefining how men and women approach skincare.

The founder Camilo Triana featured on the cover at a recent GURUS event spoke about how the brand concept began. Triana spent over a decade in the healthcare game, mastering clinical procedures and understanding the intricacies of skin health. After years helping build successful medical ventures, he hit a wall with his own skin issues: crazy dry skin that either flared up with typical products or just didn’t cut it.

Frustrated but determined, he made a bold pivot. His mission, create serious skincare that’s backed by science, delivers on its promises, and fits into a busy lifestyle. Cotrini was born out of that drive a brand for guys and gals who want effective, no-nonsense solutions.

The turning point to the creation of Cotrini; A trip to South Korea — the global epicenter of skincare innovation. There, he experienced a treatment known as the “sperm facial,” which combines salmon sperm extract (packed with DNA) with microneedling. This celeb-favorite procedure, favored by stars like Jennifer Aniston and Miley Cyrus, supercharges collagen and accelerates skin repair.

The results? Jaw-dropping. His skin looked visibly healthier, more hydrated, and revitalized after just one session. Inspired by this, he saw a huge opportunity: harness the power of salmon DNA in topical formulas that mimic invasive treatments but are safe, easy, and accessible.

What the research is saying is that Salmon DNA isn’t just a trend it’s a powerhouse. Scientific studies show it can speed up wound healing (up to 3x faster) and repair UV-damaged skin. Recent articles, like those from Smithsonian, highlight salmon DNA’s dual role: healing tissue and acting as a natural sunblock by blocking UV rays.

In Korea, salmon DNA is already used in injectables to stimulate collagen and tissue regeneration. Cotrini’s innovation? Bringing that medical-grade DNA into everyday skincare, making high-tech healing accessible without needles.

Partnering with top chemists in Korea, Cotrini set out to craft formulations that marry salmon DNA with traditional Chinese botanicals — known for soothing and healing properties. The goal? Safe, potent, and skin-friendly products.

Clinical tests in Colombia proved their efficacy fast: rapid hydration, boosted skin barrier, and a noticeable glow within 24-48 hours. The results caught the attention of influencers, celebrities, and skincare enthusiasts alike, helping Cotrini build serious buzz.

Cotrini’s lineup is sleek and innovative featuring the Ultra-Hydrating Night Cream: Loaded with salmon DNA, this overnight hero repairs, hydrates, and brightens. Designed for long-term results, it delivers a 90-day supply of real skin health.

Also very popular: the Microneedle-Infused Eye Patches: Simple but mighty, these patches use micro-needling tech to stimulate collagen while you sleep. They reduce dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines — often after just one use. Perfect for beauty aficionados on-the-go, these patches are a non-invasive at-home treatment that actually works. The magic? They mimic micro-needling without the pain or downtime, creating micro-injuries that trigger your skin’s natural repair process.

Cotrini is sold online and is now being used in medical spas, medical clinics and by surgeons across the U.S. for post-procedure healing — from microneedling and laser treatments to facelifts.

The regenerative power of salmon DNA means faster recovery, better tissue repair, and improved results. The proof is in the results. One user with a deep scar from a dog bite saw it fade dramatically with Cotrini’s regenerative formulas, no surgery needed. Others rave about how one night with the eye patches transforms their look overnight, reducing puffiness and dark circles almost instantly.
