guardian SkinQi Revolutionizing Skincare | Asia’s Widest Dermatologist-Tested Range



guardian Malaysia celebrates modern derma science’s fusion with Asia’s holistic skin wellness approaches via its Asian Derma Concourse in Sunway Pyramid from the 20th to 26th April 2026. The SkinQi-themed event sees the official launch of the latest and greatest line-up of derma skincare products from China and Korea at guardian, Malaysia’s No. 1 Skin Expert Destination. 

 


The new launches offer topical skin solutions that align with holistic skin wellbeing and were led by market-defining brands like Winona, Pyunkang Yul, APLB, 377 Sightfuture, Proya, Chando and HBN whereby all these afore-mentioned brands, except one, are exclusively found only at guardian. Shoppers here have seen an increasing interest in made-in-Asia skincare due to climate-specific skin concerns. This is a ‘hot topic’ given the on-going heatwave happening here.

 


Heatwave and Asian skin concerns

 

Heatwaves aren’t just wreaking havoc on our ecosystem, but it’s also affecting the wellbeing of our skin – the largest organ of our body. 

 


According to Harvard Health Publishing (click here), eczema, rashes and skin sensitivity may worsen when temperature rises. Given increasing skincare literacy, exposure to dermatologists and the rising influence of K-, C- and J-beauty trends, Malaysians begin looking for more ‘effective’ skincare for their concerns. 

 


Speaking at the media launch, Priscilla Wu, Managing Director of guardian Malaysia said, 

 


“These curated brands are focused on the highly relevant categories of eczema, acne and hyperpigmentation so Malaysians can access formulations – some of which showcase the ‘yin’ and ‘yang’ of herbs and science – that have been developed with Asian skin concerns in mind.” 

 


Amongst the VIPs present at the event were Mr Lim Jack Shen, General Secretary of the Malaysian Pharmacists Society (MPS), Dr Kevin Guo, Director of Product Development Winona and Dr Kwon O-ryeon, Director of Pyunkang Korean Medicine Hospital (Seocho branch). 

 


‘Made-for-me’ Skincare

 

Each brand in this new range meets guardian's dermatological qualification standards and offers targeted formulations for sensitive skin, acne control, brightening, barrier repair, anti-aging and melanin control. It has been formulated or developed in consultation with dermatologists and backed by rigorous clinical trials and ingredients’ efficacy testing in regional climates.

 


“This last point on efficacy is paramount to our shoppers,” added Priscilla. As Asians’ skin structure, physiology and pigmentation make-up are unique (click here) and couple that with the extreme climate being experienced here, it isn’t surprising that users would likely benefit the most from Asian derma brands of skincare.  

 


“With these ‘Made-for-me’ skincare brands, the unmet need of our shoppers seeking out the best-of-the-best Asian derma skincare brands is now a thing of the past! 



We are the first to bring together the widest range of Asian derma skincare products all under one-roof, with the leading Chinese and Korean brands joining the likes of Japanese ones in-store. To shoppers, come and try our AI-powered Skin Health Check before we recommend the right Asian derma skincare range for you,” added Priscilla.

guardian derma-certified personnel’s professional expertise will be further upgraded via an MOU signed with MPS during the event. 

 


“This MOU with MPS covers collaborative efforts on dermatology-focused professional training program and strengthens our commitment as the trusted advisor of wellness, which is already currently reflected by our over 100 Derma Expert pharmacists and the 600 derma advisors in-store,” said Priscilla.



With the widest range of Asian derma skincare in-store, these derma-certified personnel supported by guardian’s AI-powered tool can suggest to shoppers the right made-in-Asia products for optimal results. All these provide shoppers with an elevated commitment to skin health. It makes guardian a one-stop shop for trusted advice, curated solutions and innovative technologies for skin wellbeing.




“Come check out our new Asian Derma skincare. Let our Derma Expert pharmacists or our derma advisors in-store work with our AI-powered Skin Health Check to help run a personalised skin assessment for you before recommending the optimal skincare regiment for you!” concluded Priscilla.

Guinot Unveils Skincare Innovation at Exclusive Afternoon Tea Showcase

  

Guinot, the renowned French professional skincare brand, hosted its exclusive Guinot Reveal Afternoon Tea at The Lounge, Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur, bringing together media friends, KOLs and industry professionals for an elegant afternoon dedicated to innovation and timeless beauty.

 


The highlight of the event was the introduction of the Guinot Hydradermie Lifting Machine, a groundbreaking advancement in skincare technology designed to deliver visible, long-lasting results. 



Guests experienced first-hand how this innovation enhances skin’s firmness, rejuvenation, and radiance — redefining modern beauty care.



Guinot’s journey of innovation began in 1963, when a visionary chemical engineer developed the very first skincare appliance using galvanic current. From this breakthrough, he pioneered the Cathiodermie treatment protocol (“catio” for electrodes, “derm” for skin), enabling deeper absorption of active ingredients and offering clients firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

 



The Guinot Reveal Afternoon Tea celebrated not only the brand’s legacy of scientific expertise but also its ongoing mission to create salon-exclusive treatments that deliver professional, transformative results.


To add excitement, the audience was invited to participate by voting on which twin had received the treatment. 




The unveiling created an interactive and engaging moment with most participants correctly identifying the treated twin, further reinforcing the treatment’s effectiveness.

 



The event also showcased a mother-daughter testimonial, where mother underwent the treatment. The results were equally impressive, highlighting that the Hydradermic Lifting treatment is suitable for all ages.

 


The Guinot Hydradermic Lifting machine, priced at RM45,000 per unit, is designed to deliver professional-grade results. 



This advanced treatment targets the first visible signs of aging—whether caused by time or fatigue—by visibly smoothing, lifting, and rejuvenating facial features offering clients a refreshed and youthful appearance.

Revolutionising Skin Health | Guardian Malaysia Rolls Out AI-Powered Checks with Derma Expert Pharmacist Guidance

 

guardian Malaysia announced that its pharmacists nationwide are now Certified Derma Experts



These pharmacists have the right ‘know-how’ to professionally consult and address shoppers’ skincare questions, especially in the specialised areas of derma skincare and sensitive skin needs.



A private preview comprising close to 150 media representatives, influencers and invited shoppers was held to allow guests to have a first-hand, personalised 1-1 consultation with the Certified Derma Experts. Skin health check counters as well as skincare solution booths were made available at this event besides an accompanying workshop session. 



guardian pharmacists’ upgraded knowledge is paired with the latest AI-powered Skin Health Check tool as Malaysia’s No. 1 Health & Beauty Retailer* rolls out this upgraded in-store consultation experience across stores nationwide. 



The Korean designed Skin Health Check device helps shoppers discover their skin needs across 12 insights i.e. wrinkles, dark circles, blemishes, pores and acnes, amongst others – ALL in just 3 minutes. 



Priscilla Wu, Managing Director, guardian Malaysia, said: “As the trusted and preferred go-to-destination for everything skincare, guardian Malaysia is proud to be the first health & beauty retailer in this country to champion the need for pharmacists to be derma skin experts.” 



Priscilla added that this effort is made through guardian’s Radiance Academy that works with brand partners to structure and organise a curriculum that is focused on the increasing issues of eczema, acne, hyperpigmentation and sensitive skin faced by Malaysians out there. 



As part of the structured curriculum, pharmacists are exposed to curated topics on skin health that are conducted by speakers and trainers who are experts from our brand partners as well as Malaysia’s leading dermatologists. 



Expert Says: Skincare and its link to overall wellbeing


Present at the event is one such expert, dermatologist Dr Ch’ng Chin Chwen, who said: “Many Malaysians ‘forget’ that the skin is our body’s largest organ. It acts as an important ‘shield’ for the individual’s protection, sensory organ, synthesis of Vitamin D and regulation of the body temperature. 



Therefore, it is important to care for the skin given its critical and multi-faceted role in supporting an individual’s health and wellbeing.” 



Given the increasing prevalence of derma skin issues and sensitive skin needs, are Malaysians equipped with the right knowledge to care for their skin health? 



Access to expert-level advice can be further enhanced and knowledge is power. When skin consultation and analysis is done right, the awareness of what’s not right with the health of the skin will then enable the selection of the right solution to improve it,” added Dr Ch’ng.


guardian Pharmacists: Your friendly Derma Expert around your neighbourhood 



Expert-level advice should not be misunderstood to be everything that one reads right out of the Internet or hearsay from extended families, friends and colleagues. 



There is information overdose. And, there is also misinformation. Shoppers are either confused or misguided,"added Priscilla.



The intention to provide shoppers with personalised, 1-1 skin analysis using our AI-powered tool and to enable them access to the ‘right information’ gave birth to Radiance Academy



Working with brand partners in curating the right mix of courses in the curriculum for guardian Pharmacists, it has been an upskilling effort in continuous professional development to gain CME points (Continuous Medical Education) at the same time. 



“The roll-out of our AI-powered Skin Health Check and your pharmacist’s certification of Derma Expertise underline guardian Malaysia’s commitment to empowering YOU with the right knowledge and guidance towards healthier skin,” concluded Priscilla. 



Everyone with derma skin concerns is welcomed to speak to the Certified Derma Experts
