Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL) is making waves in the beauty and wellness market with its recent minority investment in UK-based FACEGYM, a brand that has carved out a niche in non-invasive facial workouts combined with advanced skincare. Founded by Inge Theron, FACEGYM has garnered an impressive global following, melding the worlds of beauty, fitness, and wellness in an innovative approach that could leave traditional skincare routines in the dust.
With a keen eye on expansion, Reliance’s Tira will spearhead the launch of FACEGYM in India, taking charge of local operations and market development. This partnership is not just transactional—it’s transformational.

The growing portfolio now includes brands like Akind, Dream, Immerse Play, and Nails Our Way, each contributing to a dynamic retail landscape.
