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.

Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
The Ordinary
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
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.
