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.

Tranexamic acid + Retinal serum
Skinmade
Tranexamic acid + Retinal serum
Serum

A heavy-hitting, clinical-grade pigmentation eraser from Skinmade that combines three of the most powerful cosmetic actives available. It utilizes 0.1% encapsulated Retinaldehyde (which requires only one conversion step to active retinoic acid) to rapidly shed dark surface cells. Concurrently, a potent 2% Tranexamic Acid payload blocks the inflammatory pathways that cause melanin to cluster into dark spots, while 2% Bakuchiol provides an extra layer of structural firming. The physical texture is a luxurious, lightweight fluid emulsion that sinks effortlessly into the skin without leaving a sticky or heavy residue, delivering elite brightness over time.

The Raw.
Intensive Ceramides Moisturiser
Moisturizer

The ultimate heavy-duty rescue cream. By combining Macadamia Oil, Shea Butter, Squalane, and a full 5-Ceramide complex, this cream acts as an absolute physical shield against extreme dryness and transepidermal water loss. It replaces the natural sebum that dry skin fails to produce. It is incredibly thick and buttery, making it a perfect night treatment for peeling skin, but far too heavy and occlusive for oily or acne-prone profiles.

Skin Aqua Tone Up UV Essence (Lavender)
Sunplay
Skin Aqua Tone Up UV Essence (Lavender)
Sunscreen

The absolute viral sensation of color-correcting sun protection across Malaysia. Sunplay masterfully maps a high-performance hybrid filtration grid (Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Tinosorb S, and Uvinul A Plus) inside a lightweight watery emulsion. It utilizes advanced color-theory engineering by infusing the fluid with a precise lavender tint (achieved via safe blue and pink lake pigments). When massaged onto typical Asian sallow or yellow skin landscapes, the lavender hue instantly neutralizes the warm tones, boosting optical brightness immediately. It relies on a volatile alcohol carrier to flash off moisture heat within 20 seconds, using micro-fine Starch and Silica powders to set into an absolute smudge-proof, velvet-satin finish that doubles as an elite makeup primer.

Skinmade
10% Azelaic Acid + Centella Soothing Clearing Essence
Essence

A highly intelligent, water-soluble clearing essence engineered by Skinmade to completely bypass the thick, chalky, and pore-clogging limitations of old-school Western azelaic acid creams. It utilizes an advanced **10% Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD)** matrix, which covalently bonds an azelaic molecule to skin-softening glycine. This allows the lipophilic active to glide past surface sebum sheets cleanly, targeting overactive pigment maps and dilated vascular redness corridors seamlessly. Free from drying alcohols, it locks down deep moisture while calming blemish heat. The texture is a weightless, water-clear fluid splash that absorbs completely bare within 10 seconds flat, leaving a clean, velvet-satin finish.

Cosmoderm
Vitamin E Sunscreen SPF50+ PA+++
Sunscreen

A highly emollient, rich hybrid sunscreen designed for dry skin types. It coordinates physical Titanium Dioxide with a network of chemical filters (Octinoxate, Avobenzone, and Oxybenzone) to construct a robust SPF50+ shield. It infuses a functional dose of antioxidant Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) directly into the cream base, which actively neutralizes free radicals generated by the sun. The texture is that of a rich, comforting lotion that gives dry skin a deep dewy finish, but it contains Isopropyl Myristate and Stearic Acid, making it too thick for oily or acne-prone skin.

Niacinamide 10% Salicylic Acid 1% 28 Days Boosting Serum
Cosmoderm
Niacinamide 10% Salicylic Acid 1% 28 Days Boosting Serum
Serum

A highly aggressive, fast-acting blemish and pore-clearing serum. By pairing a massive 10 percent Niacinamide payload with 1 percent Salicylic Acid, it forces pores to shrink visually while shutting down excess sebum production. However, users must proceed with extreme caution: the formulation relies heavily on Denatured Alcohol as a penetration enhancer, and includes Peppermint Oil. This creates a strong cooling tingle but dramatically increases the risk of barrier stripping and severe dehydration.

Biore
UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50+ PA++++
Sunscreen

The absolute legendary standard definition of weightless daily sun safety across Malaysia. Kao Corporation masterfully solves the greasy, pore-choking weight of traditional UV shields by launching their proprietary **Micro Defense tech**β€”encapsulating lipophilic chemical filters inside sub-micron aqua-capsules. It suspends an elite broad-spectrum filtration grid (Tinosorb S, Uvinul A Plus, Octinoxate, and Uvinul T 150) inside an ultra-breathable water-gel emulsion. It deploys cosmetic alcohol to flash off surface oil layers immediately within 10 seconds under tropical heat loops, setting past cell boundaries into a 100% transparent, fresh dewy-satin canvas.

Skinmade
2% BHA Salicylic Acid + Centella Serum
Serum

A highly effective targeted exfoliant tailored perfectly for humid tropical climates. Skinmade utilizes exactly 2 percent Salicylic Acid to guarantee clinical pore-clearing power, but what sets it apart is the total absence of volatile drying alcohols. Instead of shocking the skin, it uses a humectant-rich matrix of Propanediol and Centella Asiatica to buffer the acid delivery. This means it melts deep internal blackheads and reduces oil gland output without causing the severe flaking and burning typically associated with strong BHA liquids. The texture is a pure water-light fluid that absorbs instantly without any sticky residue.

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.

Glycolic Acid Skin Clarifying Glow Toner
Skintific
Glycolic Acid Skin Clarifying Glow Toner
Toner

A spectacular achievement in modern chemical exfoliation engineered to handle stubborn tropical texture bumps under intense Malaysian humidity. Unlike old-school Western glycolic toners that carry a highly acidic, unbuffered low pH that triggers burning skin rashes and chemical peeling, Skintific masterfully encapsulates the active **Glycolic Acid (AHA)** inside a liposomal lecithin structure at a balanced physiological pH of 5.5. It micro-exfoliates dead corneocyte layers slowly and safely over several hours. Re-fortified with Niacinamide and 3 core ceramides, it actively polishes rough texture bumps away, leaving a smooth satin canvas.
