โ˜… 9.5
15% Vitamin C + Ferulic Acid Serum
Skinmade
15% Vitamin C + Ferulic Acid Serum
Serum

A heavy-hitting, professional-grade brightening serum that brings clinical antioxidant power to the local market. Skinmade utilizes a massive 15 percent concentration of pure L-Ascorbic Acid, formulated at a highly optimized pH of 3.5 to ensure maximum dermal penetration. To prevent the notorious rapid oxidation of pure Vitamin C, it is stabilized brilliantly with Ferulic Acid and Tocopherol (Vitamin E). This specific triad multiplies total antioxidant performance curves. The texture is a lightweight, water-like fluid that absorbs instantly, providing an invisible protective shield against daytime solar damage.

Tea Tree Oil Pimple Gel
Aiken
Tea Tree Oil Pimple Gel
Treatment

An incredibly robust, multi-acid acne treatment gel. By combining Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Mandelic Acid with pure Tea Tree Oil, it forcefully digests the keratin plug blocking the pore while simultaneously neutralizing the bacterial infection. What sets it apart is the massive inclusion of Cica extracts (Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid) and Vitamin C to completely suppress the redness and prevent the pimple from leaving a dark brown scar smoothly.

Rohto Mentholatum
Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Essence
Essence

The absolute undisputed viral king of dark spot fading in Malaysia. While standard water-based Vitamin C serums decompose within weeks under Malaysia's tropical heat and change into an amber brown oxidized color, Rohto utilizes a revolutionary, completely waterless (anhydrous) glycol delivery vehicle. This encapsulates the pure L-Ascorbic Acid molecule flat, guaranteeing absolute 100% stability without degradation for up to a year. It integrates Isopropyl Methylphenol (O-Cymen-5-Ol) to sterilize active pore systems. The texture is a uniquely slick, dry oil-like fluid that warms slightly upon facial contact, drying into a comfortable velvety layer.

10% Vitamin C Brightening Glow Serum
Skintific
10% Vitamin C Brightening Glow Serum
Serum

An exceptional morning defensive staple across Malaysia engineered to lift sallow skin tones without inducing severe acid stinging updates. Skintific solves the notorious degradation variables of pure Vitamin C by coupling 10% L-Ascorbic Acid with structural stabilising agents (Ferulic Acid and Vitamin E). This specific triad multiplies total antioxidant performance curves while its signature 5-Ceramide framework repairs stratum corneum grids concurrently. The texture is a beautifully translucent, water-light fluid liquid that spreads with a velvet slip, soaking past cell boundaries within 15 seconds into an absolute touch-bare, non-sticky satin-plump canvas.

Ethylated Ascorbic Acid 20% Serum
The Raw.
Ethylated Ascorbic Acid 20% Serum
Serum

A breathtaking achievement in local Vitamin C formulation. Pure L-Ascorbic Acid oxidizes rapidly in tropical heat, turning brown and irritating the skin. The Raw bypasses this by utilizing a staggering 20 percent concentration of 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, the most stable and effective Vitamin C derivative available. This allows for clinical-grade collagen stimulation and spot fading without the low-pH acid burn. The massive botanical load ensures the skin remains completely calm while the active vitamin works flawlessly.
