GET YOUR GLOW ON

Brightening skincare in Asia has come a long way. A mere few years ago, the shelves were lined with creams, gels and serums that focused heavily on suppressing the formation of melanin. But thanks to non-stop product innovation and a shift in mindset, women are no longer looking for a pale complexion; they’re looking for radiance instead. Enter the new age of brightening skincare. This new crop of products are designed to not only target melanin, but also address a host of other skincare concerns like smoothness, sensitivity, open pores and dullness, to give Asian women their ideal skin: A complexion that’s even-toned, plump and glowing.
