Derma Care Ultra Light Brightening Vitamin Gel Lotion
Aiken
Derma Care Ultra Light Brightening Vitamin Gel Lotion
Moisturizer

A highly unique, ultra-lightweight gel lotion that bridges the gap between a body lotion and a facial moisturizer. By combining a staggering 27-ingredient matrix including Niacinamide, Ceramides, and various botanical extracts, it hydrates deeply without heavy stickiness. However, the inclusion of Ethanol (drying alcohol) alongside Lavender and Rosemary essential oils makes it a significant risk for hyper-reactive or clinically sensitive skin maps despite its Derma Care labeling.

Cosmoderm
Niacinamide Salicylic Acid Balancing Gel-Cream
Moisturizer

A highly mattifying moisturizer specifically engineered for hyper-oily skin in humid climates. It combines Niacinamide and Salicylic Acid to aggressively control sebum output. To ensure absolute zero shine, it uses Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate to absorb excess oil instantly upon application, while Cyclopentasiloxane provides a smooth, breathable silicone glide. However, the inclusion of Peppermint Essential Oil and synthetic fragrance poses a significant risk for sensitive or broken skin barriers.

Tea Tree Oil Face & Body Day Lotion SPF25
Aiken
Tea Tree Oil Face & Body Day Lotion SPF25
Moisturizer

A highly functional, massive-volume hybrid sunscreen and body lotion. It blends stable chemical UV filters (Octocrylene, Tinosorb M, Uvinul T 150) to provide a solid baseline of SPF 25 protection for low-exposure commutes. By utilizing lightweight silicones (Cyclopentasiloxane) and Tea Tree oil, it ensures that applying sunscreen to acne-prone skin on the chest or back does not result in massive, suffocating body breakouts.

Derma Care Intensive Dry Skin Rescue Vitamin Lotion
Moisturizer

A heavy-duty, highly occlusive rescue cream. It bypasses lightweight gel textures entirely, utilizing a massive base of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Shea Butter to create a physical seal over the stratum corneum. The inclusion of Ceramide 3 and Niacinamide ensures active structural repair underneath the lipid blanket. It is the absolute ultimate winter or eczema recovery formula within the Aiken lineup.

Skinmade
Centella & Aloe + Squalane Hydrating Moisturiser
Moisturizer

An exceptional barrier-building staple engineered specifically to survive the heavy afternoon humidity of Malaysia. Skinmade drops heavy, pore-suffocating mineral waxes completely, replacing them with a highly breathable water-burst gel emulsion. The formula uses pure Olive-derived Squalane, a lipid that is naturally identical to human sebum, to provide deep emollient conditioning without greasy weight. Enhanced with concentrated Centella Asiatica and Aloe Vera, it acts like a cooling thermal blanket that drops surface heat immediately upon contact. The physical texture is a gorgeous translucent bouncy gel that glides across face contours with zero hand friction, flashing dry within 20 seconds into a fresh dewy-satin canvas.

Vitamin E Intensive Moisturizer 3,000 IU
Cosmoderm
Vitamin E Intensive Moisturizer 3,000 IU
Moisturizer

The absolute undisputed baseline definition of scar repair care in local Malaysian pharmacies. Cosmoderm structures this intensive moisturizer around a heavy **3,000 IU payload of Pure Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate)** blended with natural **Rosehip Fruit Oil**. Unlike thin gels that evaporate instantly in air-conditioned offices, this cream relies on an elegant fatty lipid network to construct a thick, protective emollient roof over dry skin cells. It fills deep structural micro-cracks, anchoring down moisture layers while forcing damaged scar tissue grids to smooth out and flatten over consecutive weeks. The physical texture is a dense, buttery smooth white cream that glides with a rich slip, setting into a comforting dewy-satin finish.

Prebiotic Hydra Plus SPF25 Moisturiser
Aiken
Prebiotic Hydra Plus SPF25 Moisturiser
Moisturizer

A highly functional hybrid daytime moisturizer. It blends a robust Prebiotic/Postbiotic complex (Alpha-Glucan, Lactobacillus) to feed the cutaneous microbiome with stable chemical UV filters (Octocrylene, Tinosorb M, Uvinul T 150) to provide a solid baseline of SPF 25 protection. By utilizing lightweight silicones (Cyclopentasiloxane), it achieves a smooth, non-greasy finish that is vastly superior to traditional heavy drugstore sunscreens, making it an excellent all-in-one morning step for low-exposure days.

Niacinamide Bright Gel Moisturiser
Aiken
Niacinamide Bright Gel Moisturiser
Moisturizer

An incredibly effective, highly functional brightening gel. By focusing strictly on a high dosage of Niacinamide and buffering it with advanced soothing agents like Bisabolol and Panthenol, it controls sebum natively without using harsh astringents. The lightweight silicone matrix (Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone) provides a flawless, sweat-resistant matte finish that handles high tropical humidity seamlessly.

Daily Ceramides Moisturiser
The Raw.
Daily Ceramides Moisturiser
Moisturizer

A highly advanced barrier repair gel explicitly built for oily and combination skin profiles. It abandons heavy, pore-clogging waxes and utilizes a sophisticated, ultra-lightweight water-gel base. Packed with Panthenol and a staggering matrix of 5 different Ceramides (NP, NS, EOS, EOP, AP) plus Cholesterol and Phytosphingosine, it perfectly mimics the native lipid structure of the human stratum corneum. It delivers profound barrier repair without ever feeling sweaty or greasy under the Malaysian sun.

Tea Tree Oil Day & Night Moisturiser SPF 15 PA+++
Cosmoderm
Tea Tree Oil Day & Night Moisturiser SPF 15 PA+++
Moisturizer

An incredibly controversial formulation. Marketed as a light day and night moisturizer for acne-prone skin, it inexplicably loads the base with highly comedogenic esters (Isopropyl Myristate, Stearic Acid) and heavy physical mattifiers (Talc, Aluminum Starch). Furthermore, it includes chemical UV filters (Benzophenone-3, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate) alongside physical Titanium Dioxide. Using chemical sunscreens overnight is biologically redundant and severely risks trapping sweat and sebum, leading to massive cystic breakouts rather than clearing them.

Vitamin E Revitalising Moisturizer 1000 I.U.
Cosmoderm
Vitamin E Revitalising Moisturizer 1000 I.U.
Moisturizer

A highly accessible, classic drugstore recovery cream. Cosmoderm loads this emulsion with 1000 IU of antioxidant Vitamin E (Tocopherol Acetate) and pairs it with Rosehip Seed Oil and Sunflower Oil to accelerate the healing of fresh red marks. While marketed as a light moisturizer, the formula is quite emollient, relying on Isopropyl Myristate and Stearic Acid. This gives it a dense, protective finish that is excellent for repairing compromised barriers, but it poses a very high comedogenic risk for hyper-oily or actively breaking-out skin types.
