๐Ÿงด Formulations featuring Centella Asiatica

โ˜… 9.5
๐Ÿงด
Skinmade
10% Azelaic Acid + 2% Salicylic Acid Serum
Serum

A highly effective local Malaysian formulation designed to tackle stubborn hyperpigmentation and active breakouts simultaneously. Skinmade avoids pure azelaic acid which can be gritty and irritating, opting instead for Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate. This advanced water-soluble derivative combines the brightening power of azelaic acid with the hydrating properties of glycine. Paired with 2% Salicylic Acid and a supporting dose of Niacinamide, it actively exfoliates inside the pore while shutting down melanin transfer and reduces surface oil pools safely. The physical texture is a completely transparent, lightweight fluid that absorbs flat into the skin within 15 seconds, leaving zero sticky residue.

Strong Barrier Serum
The Raw.
Strong Barrier Serum
Serum

A highly sophisticated barrier repair serum that goes beyond basic hydration. The Raw balances a clinical 5 percent dose of Niacinamide with a highly calculated 5-Ceramide complex. This allows the serum to control sebum while deeply patching micro-tears in the stratum corneum safely. The immense botanical load ensures that localized redness is actively suppressed during the healing phase flawlessly.

Arbutin 2% Serum
The Raw.
Arbutin 2% Serum
Serum

A highly targeted, single-active focus serum that maximizes the efficacy of Alpha Arbutin by buffering it with an immense botanical soothing complex. The clinical 2 percent concentration of Alpha Arbutin is the optimal dose to inhibit tyrosinase safely without causing cellular toxicity. The inclusion of Licorice and Green Tea works synergistically to suppress the underlying inflammation that often drives post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), making this a highly reliable dark spot eraser.

Niacinamide 5% Serum
The Raw.
Niacinamide 5% Serum
Serum

A highly sophisticated, multi-pathway acne treatment serum that goes beyond basic Niacinamide. The Raw balances a clinical 5 percent dose of Niacinamide with a highly calculated acid cocktail (Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid). This allows the serum to control sebum, fade post-acne marks, and gently clear clogged pores simultaneously without severe barrier stripping. The immense botanical load (Green Tea, Centella, Licorice) ensures that localized redness is actively suppressed during the chemical exfoliation phase safely.
