A superb stable brightening fluid designed specifically for tropical climates where pure L-Ascorbic Acid oxidizes too rapidly. Skinmade utilizes 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, an elite highly stable Vitamin C derivative, and pairs it with melanin-blocking Alpha Arbutin and Vitamin E. This creates a highly tolerable, non-stinging brightening engine that fades sun spots safely. The texture is a lightweight fluid that glides beautifully without any sticky residue.
A highly advanced, lightweight cleansing oil. By utilizing elite micro-emulsifiers like PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, the oil bonds instantly to heavy cosmetic polymers and completely liquefies them. Upon contact with water, the entire matrix turns milky white and rinses away without leaving a suffocating greasy film. The inclusion of Prebiotics ensures the skin flora is undisturbed during the heavy cleansing phase safely.
A highly accessible introduction to Retinol for the drugstore market. Cosmoderm utilizes Vitamin A Palmitate (Retinyl Palmitate), the gentlest and least irritating form of the vitamin A family. While it will not deliver the rapid overnight peeling of pure prescription retinoids, it is expertly buffered with Niacinamide, Panthenol, and Silicones. This creates a very comfortable, silky emulsion that slowly brightens stubborn dark spots over weeks of consistent use without causing severe barrier damage.
A sophisticated, non-soap amino acid cleanser that gracefully abandons the harsh alkaline foam matrices typically found in drugstore washes. It utilizes premium Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate to lift daily grime while preserving structural corneum lipids. While it contains a gentle derivative of Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate), its primary function in a wash-off format is to deliver a fleeting antioxidant boost rather than massive cellular peeling. However, it does contain synthetic fragrance which may irritate extremely reactive profiles.
A fast-absorbing, silicone-heavy gel designed to instantly blur the under-eye contour. It utilizes Ethyl Ascorbic Acid to slowly fade melanin-based dark circles over time while Witch Hazel provides a slight astringent effect to temporarily tighten puffiness. However, applying high concentrations of Citrus Essential Oils directly to the extremely thin, sensitive periorbital skin is highly controversial and poses a significant risk for stinging, watering eyes, and contact dermatitis.
The absolute local legend of anti-acne clearing waters across Malaysia. Some By Mi masterfully bridges the gap between active multi-acid chemical peeling and everyday skin safety by keeping the raw concentration lines tightly controlled: containing **500ppm Citric Acid (AHA)** for surface smoothing, **100ppm Salicylic Acid (BHA)** for mild sebum clearance, and **100ppm Lactobionic Acid (PHA)** for moisture binding. This low-percentage triple synergy operates at a skin-friendly physiological pH of 5.5, micro-exfoliating dead skin cells slowly over consecutive nights. Infused with a high **10,000ppm Tea Tree** fraction, it actively controls acne bacteria propagation loops cleanly, setting down instantly with a cooling, minty bare-skin canvas.
An incredibly gentle, sulfate-free gel cleanser. It entirely bypasses alkaline soaps, relying on extremely mild glucosides and amino-acid surfactants to melt away surface impurities without stripping the delicate acid mantle. Enriched with honeysuckle and Saccharide Isomerate, it acts as the absolute optimal choice for broken or compromised barriers.
A highly respected, locally popular blemish control serum tailored specifically for the humid Malaysian ecosystem. It balances a targeted concentration of oil-soluble Salicylic Acid (BHA) to break down sebum plugs with 4% Niacinamide and soothing botanical weights. Unlike heavy, drying spot treatments, it sits inside a lightweight, fluid gel matrix that hydrates the skin while shutting down blemish clusters. It offers safe, non-stripping full-face application for oil control.
A staggering antioxidant cocktail that rivals high-end clinical serums. Skinmade engineers this formula around the holy trinity of cellular defense: Resveratrol, Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone), and EGCG (from Green Tea). By flooding the dermis with these molecules alongside Bakuchiol and Superoxide Dismutase, it acts as an impenetrable shield against daytime pollution and UV-induced free radicals. Furthermore, it incorporates Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 to actively remodel underlying collagen. The physical texture is a beautiful, cloudy lightweight liquid gel that absorbs instantly, plumping up the skin canvas to leave a radiant, highly energized finish.
This is an undiluted, medical-grade botanical essential oil. Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia) is a powerhouse antibacterial and antifungal agent. However, because it is 100 percent pure, it is intensely potent. Applying it undiluted directly onto thin, broken, or sensitive skin is a recipe for severe contact dermatitis. It is meant to be used as a targeted spot treatment—never all over the face—and should always be buffered by carrier oils or localized to the blemish node.
A highly functional and deeply restorative micellar liquid. It relies on a gentle but highly effective blend of PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides to encapsulate and lift heavy makeup without stripping native lipids. By saturating the formula with 5 distinct Ceramides and Niacinamide, it patches micro-tears in the moisture mantle immediately during the wiping phase safely.
