It’s time we paid attention to homegrown skincare labels. Unlike many international comestic companies, local brands boast treatments better suited to our urban lifestyles and skin needs. To know exactly where to find quality skincare that will change your beauty regimen for the better, check out the following six local lines.
Allies of Skin
Designed specially for busy bees, Allies of Skin’s line of products aren’t just easy to use—they maximise the functions of smart formulas to boost your skin health. With clinically-proven actives worked into solutions, find treatments that will repair and regenerate your delicate skin. No fillers or potential irritants are included either; check out serums like the world’s first waterless Vitamin C 35% Collagen Rebuilding Serum for intense brightening and collagen building, as well as the Retinal and Peptides Overnight Mask which hydrates stressed out skin.
BSkin
Thanks to her family’s wellness business which has a history with bee-based products, local entrepreneur Su-Mae Chia founded BSkin due to her personal struggle with acne. Trust the Singaporean to create cutting edge skincare that tackles this inflammatory skin condition with the all-new BSkin Anti-Acne 3C Spot Treatment that offers a three-prong approach to soothe and prevent blemishes.
DrGL
Aesthetics doctor Georgia Lee is a household name in the local beauty industry, and her very own skincare line is just as renowned as the beauty mogul herself. Said to be cruelty-free and based on the doyenne’s years of medical experience, discover skincare products made for Asian skin types and climates. DrGL also offers a men’s range as well as hair care items.
