Clarins Anti-ageing Treatment Essences

Do you afraid of ageing? According to a research, this is the major concern for Asian women as early as 25 years old. When we aged, we needed extra care to help pave the way for young and beautiful looking skin.

To achieve a youthful skin, Clarins, the anti-ageing expert, has launched three pioneering anti-ageing Treatment Essences in August 2016. It is the first step in any anti-ageing beauty routine, tailor-made for skin at different ages, they are designed to enhance the youthfulness of all Asian women.
Clarins Research has discovered that the skin has a physical barrier that protects against external aggressions. In order for the powerful anti-ageing ingredients to effectively penetrate and reach its biological target which is located at the deepest skin layers, it is necessary to “unlock” this barrier. This is to allow the active ingredients to be able to absorb easily.
There are three types of skin ageing:

1. Age 25+ - Early signs of ageing: The outermost skin layer is made up of 15 to 20 layers of corneocyte cells, this compact structure forms a “physical” protective barrier limiting the penetration of cosmetic ingredients.

2. Age 35+ - More permanent signs of ageing: Water content in the upper skin layers decreases with age, lack of water is the second factor that limits the absorption of active molecules in addition to the physical barrier.

3. Age 45+ - Prominent signs of ageing: The accumulation of dead cells on the skin surface limiting the absorption of active ingredients.
As women are all unique, Clarins has formulated three specific Treatment Essences rich in plant extracts, with highly sensorial smooth textures that specially designed to “unlock” the skin barrier and optimize active skin absorption for skin at all ages and to ‘lock’ the skin with moisturisers.

The 1st tailor-made essences for different age groups and as an essential first step in any anti-ageing beauty routine, Multi-Active boosts skin vitality for 25+, Extra-Firming enhances skin bounciness for 35+ and Super Restorative reinforces skin smoothness for 45+.

Multi-Active Treatment Essence Vitality Booster (RM 200)
Multi-Active Treatment Essence is formulated with teasel extract which increases skin cell energy to boost skin vitality. In addition, acerola seed extract encourages cellular respiration to boost skin radiance. It leaves the skin soft and supple to the touch and visibly radiant.
This Treatment Essence’s emollient action maintains the skin’s suppleness and helps to prepare skin to benefit from skin care applied afterwards. The skin is moisturized and revitalized.

With a refreshing, gentle texture, this Treatment Essence is perfectly absorbed by the skin
and prepares it to fully benefit from skin care applied afterwards.

Extra-Firming Treatment Essence Bounciness Enhancer (RM 215)
Formulated with lemon thyme and green banana extracts to reinforce skin structure, this Treatment Essence helps to enhance the bounciness of the skin, smooth wrinkles and firm, leaving the skin soft and supple to the touch and visibly radiant. In addition, fig extract and hyaluronic acid supply water to skin and help prevent excessive water loss.

The skin appears plumped up and the look of fine lines is reduced.

With a refreshing, velvety texture, this Treatment Essence helps to prepare skin to benefit from skin care applied afterwards. Thanks to its smoothing action, this Treatment Essence maintains the skin’s suppleness and leaves skin moisturized and firmer.

This Treatment Essence is perfectly absorbed by the skin and prepares it to fully benefit from skin care applied afterwards.

Super Restorative Treatment Essence Smoothness Enhancer (RM285)
This Treatment Essence is formulated with pueraria lobata extract which stimulates the synthesis of collagen by fibroblasts, in order to help reinforce the stratum corneum and replenish the skin. In addition, the re-energizing properties of ginseng and green coffee extracts help boost skin radiance.

With a refreshing, smooth texture and thanks to its exfoliating action, it helps to prepare skin to benefit from skin care applied afterwards and is perfectly absorbed by the skin to maintain its suppleness. This Treatment Essence also helps to plump the skin, leaving it soft and supple to the touch and visibly radiant.

This Treatment Essence prepares the skin to fully benefit from skin care products applied afterwards.

These three new Treatment Essences offer refreshing and smooth textures for pleasant application every day. They are a pleasure to apply thanks to their look, fragrance and feel. Moreover, their active textures are highly effective, with the capacity to “unlock” and prepare skin to receive the benefits of skin care products applied afterwards.

There are two simple yet effective application methods to apply these Treatment Essences. First, quick and easy application with a cotton pad in just 10 seconds. Second, apply by dabbing onto skin in just 20 seconds for a more sensorial experience and to boost radiance.
To make it even more effective, pair it with the Multi-Active range, Extra-Firming range and Super Restorative range for a youthful skin to complete the anti-ageing beauty routine.

Finding a Balance in Digital Parenting

While children deserve the freedom to enjoy digital activities, there is a need to balance time spent on these through a ‘digital detox’. Given the multiscreen era that we are currently living in, it is unsurprising that learning how to ‘unplug’ is a test for most people, including children of today’s generation. With smartphones, tablets, laptops and gaming consoles within easy reach, gone are the days that we can leave the house without a device or two.

At a recent panel session organised by ZooMoo, a television channel for preschool children featuring animals, this topic along with the challenge of raising a child in the digital era was discussed. Keeping away from technology might not be feasible in today’s circumstances, however there are some ways for parents and children alike to balance their time spent on screens. 

Redefining the concept of balance

Most parents have an impression that if their child is watching TV or playing games, they are not getting any educational value as it is thought the primary purpose of these activities is purely for fun. However, as technology plays a big role in our lives, it is not about the removal but the mindfulness of using it. Instead of setting parameters on the amount of time allowed, the smarter approach is to know what content their child consumes and how they react to it. 

“Parents need to be the gatekeepers for their child’s time and activities spent on screens. Similar to any other activity such as play time, kids do not know when to stop and are likely to be upset when they are told to. It is about understanding your child and what works for them,” Dr. Shen-Li Lee, parenting expert and author of Brainchild stated.

During the session, a question on the effects of exposure to technology on a child’s social development was raised. Although current research doesn’t provide conclusive answer to whether or not there is a direct negative or positive impact on children, the main consensus is that consuming digital media in moderation is key.

“Screen time is not necessarily a bad thing as it can be used as an educational tool or part of bonding time. My girls and I enjoy watching ZooMoo and learning about the animals together,” said Aishah Sinclair, celebrity mom of two, radio DJ and ZooMoo brand ambassador.

Role model for healthy digital habits

Throughout the early years of development, one of the methods children will learn is through imitation. Watching their parents practice a well-balanced screen time routine will have a positive impact on children. Some examples include picking up a book to read, spending time outdoors, or even the simple action of putting away devices at the dinner table.

Relating to her personal experience, Aishahsaid “sometimes hiding the iPad from my girls does not work as they catch me using my mobile phone to answer urgent work emails. As parents, we need to ensure that we set good examples for our children to understand and emulate.” 


Content that matters

Restricting technology may not be the best way to navigate the digital space. Dr. Lee cited an example that although PC/video games are often associated with the negative effects they have on children, there is some underlying value for their development including problem-solving skills and creativity. In addition, depending on the type of game, they can also be exposed to real-life scenarios such as trading.
Similarly, ZooMoo’s approach to content aims to provide a safe environment for children to learn through animals and the world they live in. Through collaborations with child and educational experts, the content curated and format of programming is designed to entertain while stimulating young minds and bodies.

“As a channel that believes in the power of technology, we embrace it and encourage children to be exposed to it from a young age. It is not something that can be avoided as a child grows up and conditioning them in the proper use of technology early would be beneficial,” Catherine Nebauer, General Manager, ZooMoo Networks for Australasia said.

In this age of the digital world, there is no way to implement a total black-out on technology. Rather, like with any other activity, there is a suitable time and place, and it is up to parents to find ways to balance quality time both on-screen and off. 

The panel session was held at the newly opened Parenthood family park in Sunway Pyramid Mall, in conjunction with ZooMoo’s Big Day Out. Hundreds of participants took part in the many activities that was organised for families to bond and have a fun time. Parents and children were kept engaged throughout with puppet and origami workshops.

Mamonde Malaysia has introduced its brand ambassador Park Shin Hye through a greeting video, last July during its official launch. In the video, Park greeted everyone and congratulated Mamonde Malaysia on the launch of its first counter at Aeon 1Utama. Looking perky and cute in the video, Park also announced that she will be visiting Malaysia this October.
Park Shin Hye - Mamonde’s Brand Ambassador

While we wait for her arrival here in Malaysia, let’s get to know her first!

Born on 18 February 1990, Park has turned 26 this year. Her first acting debut was in 2003, in a drama called Stairway to Heaven, which earned her the Best Young Actress Award by SBS Drama Awards. Park’s career rose when she starred in the K-drama ‘The Heirs’ alongside Lee Min Ho, where she played Cha Eun-Sang. ‘The Heirs’ was a huge success in China with one billion views on Youku.com (a popular video viewing site in China) while Park had more than 11 million followers Weibo, the highest number followers for a Korean female actress. She was awarded the ‘Popular Foreign Actress Award’ at the Chinese Anhui Drama Awards. Park’s popularity continues to soar with her role as Choi In-ha in the drama Pinocchio which earned her Forbes Korea’s Top 40 Most Popular Celebrities. In the drama ‘Doctors’ that is currently airing on SBS, Park plays the female lead which makes her more popular than before. SBS expects to reach a 20 per cent viewership rating nationwide in the coming weeks with this drama gaining popularity. 
Park has won more than 23 drama and TV awards which also include the Prime Minister’s Award at the 6th Korean Popular Culture & ‘; Arts Awards and the Most Popular Actress (Film) at the 51st Baeksang Arts Awards in 2015.

Park has been the face of Mamonde since 2014. She was selected because of her pure beauty and her multiple talents that fit the brand’s image and also the brand message, ‘Inspired by Flowers’. The very same year, Mamonde’s Creamy Tint Color Balm which was used by Park in the drama ‘Pinocchio’, saw a sales surge which earned the phenomena, the ‘Park Shin Hye Lipstick Effect.’ Similarly this year, Mamonde’s new Highlight Lip Tint #6 (Pin Spot) which happens to be Park’s favourite, which she also uses in the drama ‘Doctors’, was seen flying off the shelves.
The brand hopes for the same phnomena for its new Cover Powder Cushion with the release of two new TV commercials in June, starring Park Shin Hye and K-pop boy group BTOB’s Sungjae. In the TV commercial, Sungjae was featured as being mesmerised by Park’s beauty which was complemented by the Cover Powder Cushion. The shades of the Cover Powder Cushion are light and bright just like the petals of the Peach flower which gave Park’s face the soft glow.

Park recently engaged with 100 lucky fans at a Mamonde fan signing event at Aritaum, Korea. At the session, she wrote and handed out autographed postcards to each of her fans.

Park also revealed her favourite Mamonde products which are the Highlight Lip Tint #6, Cover Powder Cushion and the Mamonde Flower Essence Masks on her Instagram.

For more information on Park Shin Hye’s visit this October, look out for an announcement on Mamonde Malaysia’s Facebook page

All the kpops fans out there should know that the Running Man fame Song Ji Hyo has came to Malaysia for SHOOPEN grand opening last Saturday.
Lady in the middle: Song Ji Hyo

When we reached Fahrenheit 88 early morning that day, a lot of fans were waiting there already. She arrived the venue by a open top bus, and she waved to us from the bus. All of the fans screamed out loud when seeing her approaching.
Song Ji Hyo is very down to earth in person. She looks exactly the same in real person, and even more prettier than on the screen. Her skin is fair and smooth, can’t believe that she is in her mid 30’s already.

During the interview session, she answered the questions patiently with the help of the translator. She made a lot of cute expressions throughout the interview, we just love her cuteness to max!


Thank you SHOOPEN Malaysia for bringing the beautiful Song Ji Hyoto KL.
For those of you who have yet to visit SHOOPEN store, do visit it as you'll find a wide variety of styles for men, women and kids there. We couldn’t wait to join the SHOOPEN Malaysia Grand Opening Contest to win a trip to Korea and maybe we could meet Song Ji Hyo there again.

I have very dry lips, and I suffer from chapped and peeling lips from time to time. I blame this to my mum because I believe it’s due to my gene haha. I drink lotsa water every day but I am still suffering from dry lips. 

I have been using lip balm and lip sleeping mask all the time, but somehow chapped and peeling lips still hits me occasionally.
Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil

This year, a lot of brands have launched the lip oil for moisturizing and makeup effect. Among them, I love Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil the most.
As the treatment oil expert, Clarins invents a totally new skin care and make-up beauty step for our precious lips. Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil is a new tinted lip care that offers all the comfort of an oil and color to enhance beautiful lips. It transforms lips from dry and damaged, to plump and luscious-while adding just a hint of lip-sparkling color. Instant Light Lip Oil nourishes, hydrates and soothes-the natural way-with oils of mirabelle plum, Jojoba and hazelnut, for lips that look naturally-shiny and appear fuller.
I have been using Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil in 02 Raspberry for the past 2 months. You see, my dry lips is moisture instantly with its nourishing and innovative gel texture that hugs lips comfortably.
I like its sheer and subtle color. I use it as a lip balm as well as lip gloss, it can be used alone or over your regular lipstick to add shine and comfort. It soothes my dry lips and gives me comfort feel for long time.

When used alone
When used over a lipstick

SHELL 125TH Anniversary Limited Edition Heritage Canisters Collection

I was born and raised in a Chinese ‘Kampung’ in Kepong. When I was young, I always followed my parents crossed to the opposite road to buy grocery and food. There was this SHELL Petrol kiosk right at the opposite road. As a small kid, I always curious about this big yellow logo and name, wondered what was it for and why the station was so big. One day, I decided to ask my mum what is that, and my mum told me it’s a Shell Petrol Kiosk, where we could fueled up our cars so that we could move longer.
Since then, whenever I think about fuel, I will think about Shell.

FIGHT DIABETES NOW!

Diabetes is a common disease in Malaysia, the number of Diabetes patients have increased to 3.5 million or 17.5 per cent of its citizens affecting Malaysians as early as 18 years of age[1]. The increasing number of Diabetes disease is very worrying. I have seen my close relatives, friends and colleagues who are suffering from Diabetes. For example, one of my colleagues, has diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes last year, his life has completely changed. He couldn’t works aggressively like how he did last time, and he gets tired easily hence he doesn’t have enough energy to take care of his 2 young sons. Indeed, he has to send his sons to child care every day. It is sad how Diabetes has affected one’s life, and how the situation get worsen from the amputation of legs escalating to other serious health complications.
Official Launch of xigduo™ XR by AstraZeneca Malaysia. From L-R: Professor Dr. Mark E Cooper (Deputy Director & Chief Scientific Officer Baker IDI Heart & Diabetes Institute Australia), Professor Dr. Chan Siew Pheng (Senior Consultant Endocrinologist), Ms. Kang Cheng Hui (Business Unit Director Cardiometabolic Disease AstraZeneca Malaysia), Dr. Viraj Rajadhyaksha (Medical Director AstraZeneca Malaysia) & Mr. Allen Patino (Country President AstraZeneca Malaysia)

It is important for us to take care of our daily intake of food, and exercise regularly to avoid Diabetes. Luckily, with the advancement of technology, Type 2 Diabetes patients have a new treatment choice for Diabetes.

In July 2016, AstraZeneca Sdn. Bhd. (AstraZeneca) launched its new combination drug, the once-daily xigduo™ XR (dapagliflozin+Metformin XR) tablet. Combining two anti-hyperglycaemic agents, Forxiga (dapagliflozin) and Metformin XR, xigduo™ XR helps to reduce glucose levels in the bloodstream and promote early glycaemic control among Malaysians with Type 2 Diabetes.
Professor Dr. Chan Siew Pheng presenting on Moving from Conventional Approach Towards Early Glycemic Control

Let me tell you more about the new treatment for Type 2 Diabetes. Dapagliflozin is a Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor with a 4-year efficacy data[2]that works to prevent glucose from being reabsorbed into the kidneys and to expel it from the body via urine[3]. Metformin, a commonly used first-line treatment for Type 2 Diabetes[4], helps to decrease glucose production in the liver and prevents glucose reabsorption in the intestines and improves insulin sensitivity[5]. In xigduo™ XR, the extended release Metformin formulation allows for a once-daily dose, which minimises common gastrointestinal (GI) side effects such as diarrhoea, nausea and stomach pain that are frequently associated with immediate release Metformin[6],[7].
Professor Dr. Mark E Cooper presenting on Introduction of xigduo™ XR

Together, Dapagliflozin and Metformin deliver HbA1c reduction of 2%, alongside two additional benefits of weight loss and blood pressure reduction[8]. This in turn addresses the associated risk factors in developing cardiovascular issues among diabetes patients[9],[10]. A chronic metabolic disorder, Type 2 Diabetes is characterized by high glucose levels in the blood due to the body's inability to produce or properly respond to insulin[11]. It is a highly prevalent disease in Malaysia, affecting approximately 3.5 million adults1 (an increase from 2.6 million in 2011[12]) and rising. The Second Burden of Disease Study for Malaysia ranked diabetes as one of the biggest contributors to both disability adjusted life-years (DALY) and deaths in the country[13]. 

Let’s see what the experts have shared on their view of daily xigduo™ XR. Professor Dr. Chan Siew Pheng, Senior Consultant Endocrinologist said, "Diabetes requires a multifaceted approach in its management5. This often includes lifestyle modifications such as increased physical activity and nutritious diet, in combination with oral agents to attain glycaemic control5 where the dosage and/or types of medication are slowly adjusted over time[14]. This conventional treatment method may not be the most effective[15] as diabetes is a complex disease that is frequently accompanied by other health issues such as obesity, heart disease, stroke and hypertension5."

Professor Dr. Chan added “there is an urgent need for a more intensive and innovative initial treatment plan such as combination therapy to address diabetes at the earliest stage14to prevent its progression, complications and the development of associated cardiovascular risk factors."

 
In the same vein, Professor Mark E. Cooper, Deputy Director and Chief Scientific Officer of the Baker IDI Heart & Diabetes Institute in Australia said, "The main challenge for most Type 2 Diabetes patients is controlling their blood glucose levels3. Yet, only half of the people living with this disease are found to achieve the recommended HbA1c target3,[16]. This is partly because of non-compliance to their treatment plan, particularly among patients with multiple medications and frequent dosing throughout the day[17].

By initiating a combination therapy such as once-daily xigduo™ XR, patients can have a much simpler and more convenient way to manage this disease from the outset."

A survey involving 600 diabetic patients found that only 16.6% were adherent to the prescribed anti-diabetic drugs, demonstrating a demand for less number of medications to be taken daily17. Similar results were found in an earlier study, where patients with twice-and thrice-daily medications were more likely to skip dosages compared to those in the single-dosage group; thus highlighting the need for minimised daily doses to improve patient compliance[18].

"The launch of xigduo™ XR in Malaysia is yet another step forward in improving the lives of those affected by this disease. It reflects our unceasing efforts in availing innovative and effective management solutions to address chronic diseases such as diabetes.

Allen Patino, Country President of AstraZeneca Malaysia

I hope this serves as an encouragement for both Health Care Professionals (HCPs) and Malaysians living with Type 2 Diabetes to ‘Start with the Right Duo’, xigduo™ XR, for early management of glucose levels, as well as weight and hypertension. In doing so, we may then be able to ultimately reverse the alarming prevalence of diabetes in the country,"Allen Patino, Country President of AstraZeneca Malaysia concluded.

We shall fight the alarming diabetes among Malaysians together!

xigduo™ XR tablet

xigduo™ XR is available in Malaysia in three different dosages, which are 10/1000 mg, 5/1000mg and 10/500mg. Each xigduo™ XR tablet contains the following active ingredients:

·         xigduo™ XR 10/1000 (MAL16045040ACRZ) - dapagliflozin 10 mg and metformin XR 1000 mg
·         xigduo™ XR 5/1000 ((MAL16045043ACRZ) - dapagliflozin 5 mg and metformin XR 1000 mg
·         xigduo™ XR 10/500  (MAL16045044ACRZ) – dapagliflozin 10mg & Metformin XR 500mg

For more information about xigduo™ XR tablet, please contact your local Health Care Professional.

Apparels

The new Hush Puppies collection takes on the Nordic charm where the inspiration reflects the ever-imaginative lands of the North, as envisioned by the South.

The entire collection can be described as rich holiday outdoor wear with “street” flair and mastery of colours.

This collaboration between NIVEA and FORWARD reaches out to 350 girls over five locations for the Recruitment phase over the span of ten days.

The crème de la crème among these apprentices will proceed to the next phase of the Apprenticeship after acing the interview with their mentors. The seven apprentices that makes it were featured in a media event of Apprentice Announcement Ceremony to announce their breakthrough in enrolling for the apprenticeship on 26th September 2016.

As part of this relaunch, H2O+ Beauty implemented a sweeping strategic shift in its business model to prioritize innovation over manufacturing, broadened its opportunities for creativity and innovation with fresh product lines, created new channels of digital communication to improve access for its audiences, and added further brand upgrades to better fit the needs of today’s discerning consumers.

“H2O+ was founded more than two decades ago as a groundbreaking concept to deliver innovative, modern and effective skin care options in an environment that encouraged women to make their own choices. That courageous spirit and customers-first approach have always been a core tenet of the brand,” said Joy Chen, CEO of H2O+ Beauty. “Now we want to amplify that spirit with a reimagined H2O+ Beauty, one that even better serves our customers by being more innovative, creative and results-focused. We can’t wait for the public to see what’s in store.”
Luxor Beauty World Sdn Bhd, the sole distributor of H2O+ Beautyproducts in Malaysia, has appointed11street as its official online partner. Through this partnership, H2O+ Beauty has given itself a millennial makeover, targeting consumers who prefer online shopping.

“Online shopping has evolved tremendously over the years and is now a trending global phenomenon due to advancement in technologies, better enhancement of security and predominantly a big shift in end consumers’ shopping behavior. Hence, to stay ahead and meet current shopping expectations, we are confident that this partnership with 11street will provide a more convenient platform for our consumers to shop for their favorite H2O+ Beauty products online,” said Wong Meng Choy, CEO of Luxor Beauty World Sdn Bhd.

Bruce Lim, Vice President of Merchandising, 11street said: “Based on an online survey we conducted recently, a majority of Malaysian shoppers prefer shopping online for one simple reason – convenience. At 11street, we see this surging trend as the catalyst to the rise of e-commerce in Malaysia, with many brands hopping aboard the bandwagon. Our partnership with H2O+ Beauty today adds another feather to our cap, for we are honored to support their shift into an omni-channel retailing.”

“Years ago, brick-and-mortar was the key part of our retail strategy, but given current trends and how consumers prefer to shop, we decide to build our brand presence online by centering our focus towards our website, and partner a reputable e-mall such as 11street to cement our commitment in offering a seamless shopping experience for our consumers,” Wong elaborated. “This is evident through a new line of products and a reimagined brand, which includes a revamped website that is optimized for both desktop or mobile shopping.”
The new H2O+ Beauty is excited to reveal the following updates:

Fresh product lines

As part of the reimagining of the brand, H2O+ Beauty is launching a fresh line of products with modern, technologically advanced ingredients that effectively target skin needs. These new collections are inspired by the brand’s innovative beginnings and combine pure water with the latest advances in skin technology, resulting in performance-based formulas made without parabens, mineral oils, or phthalates.
H2O+ offers products across the following collections with clinical claims on 7 hero skincare products:

Oasis: The legacy collection of H2O+ features hydrating products that transform a parched complexion into perfectly supple and smooth skin that is brimming with vitality;
Infinity+ (formerly Sea Results): Age-defying products that leverage the energizing powers of water to stop the “ripple effect” of aging by treating the most telltale signs, both instantly and over time;
Waterbright (formerly Waterwhite): Hydra-powered products with effective brighteners, such as Vitamin C, that diminish dark spots, even out skin tone and promotes overall radiance;
Elements: Brings cleansing and purity to all skin types, preparing your complexion for specialized treatment and spectacular results. Water is the foundation for the brand – and these new formulas are the building blocks of any skin care routine;
Body Care: Their Sea Salt, Eucalyptus and Aloe, Milk and Specialty Care collections maximize the ultimate hydrating power of H2O to cleanse, moisturize and soften skin from head to toe.
The H2O+ Beauty packaging has also been revamped, reflecting a more modern look and feel that hearkens to the brand’s water-based heritage, the backbone of all H2O+ Beauty products. The packaging now serves as a platform for graphic artist, Ayaka Ito, to showcase her unique work and reflect the rejuvenating power of water. Drawing inspiration from a study of water in different stages – rippling, crashing, sparkling in sunlight – she created all new graphic designs for the brand, hand drawing pencil illustrations layered with color to mimic movement and light.
H2O+ Beauty intends to empower women to take charge of their skin through the sharing of skin care tips and how-to videos on its Facebook page by experts and a stream of beauty influencers, for a “NOW & WOW” experience.

Designed to Bring Couples Closer

Do you know that more than 1 million people around the world contract a sexually-transmitted infections (STIs) every day; and approximately 357 million infections every year? STIs can be transmitted by one partner to another.1 If you think you might be at risk of contracting an STI, protect yourself and be safe. One of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of STIs is to practise safe sex by using condom.
Durex, the world’s No. 1 brand for condom has recently launched its thinnest ever condom without compromising the protection against STIs. With Durex Invisible, the brand has outdone itself with a strong commitment towards innovation. Designed with both partners in mind, it promises to provide the most intimate experience that soars above and beyond expectations, taking pleasure to new heights.

According to Matias Caride, Marketing Director of RB Malaysia & Singapore, Durex’s latest condom addresses Malaysian consumers’ low usage of condoms and the perception that a condom decreases sensitivity during sex.

Based on the Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey 2011-2012, condom penetration in Malaysia market comes in at only 5.3%, which is one of the lowest in the world.

“Many Malaysians still prefer to go with traditional contraceptive techniques like the rhythm method (periodic abstinence), withdrawal, or even choose not to use any form of protection at all. Lack of knowledge and their belief in sexual myths also contribute to this problem, as seen in the 2015 Malaysian Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) Survey. In fact, one of the main reasons is the perception that wearing a condom decreases sensitivity during sex. However, all these only increase the risk of contracting STIs through unprotected sex,” said Caride.

“In any type of romantic relationship, making your significant other happy is one of the things that give us great pleasure. It’s not just about the physical factor; acting responsibly also goes to show how much love and respect you have for each other. Hence, practicing safe sex plays an important role in making sure your soulmate feels safe and cared for.

Durex, is a sexual wellbeing brand, much larger and holistic than just a condom brand – apart from sex, there are other wonderful aspects in a relationship, and we try to encourage that as well.  Moreover, condoms help to reduce the risk of contracting STIs,” he added.

 
The WHO (World Health Organisation), which work actively prevents and controls the spread of sexually transmitted infections around the world, highlighted that majority of STIs have mild or no symptoms. In the case of Malaysia, the fear of being labelled has led to 10% of young Malaysians saying that they would rather not seek medical attention even if they have been exposed to risk of STI. This potentially leads to domino effect, where somebody get infected and they in turn pass it on to somebody else.

 
As such, prevention through protected sex is always better than cure. Consistent use of condom provides substantial protection against the acquisition of many STIs, including statistically significant reduction of risk against HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, and syphilis.2, 3 & 4

 
“As the global market leader, Durex always encourages adult couples to take proper steps towards protection as part of its commitment towards safe, happy sex. This ‘peace of mind’ associated with the use of condoms not only protects your physical health, but is also beneficial in one’s emotional and social wellbeing. With its newest innovation, couples don’t have to worry about compromising sexual health or intimacy,” Caride explained further.

Durex Invisible features 5 unique innovations to make couples’ experiences more sensuous and safer: 

1.      Ultra-thin

Durex’s thinnest ever, designed for a more natural feeling to heighten sensitivity.

2.      Naturally-soft

As soft as the feeling of skin, so you can indulge in real pleasure.

3.      Amazing lubrication

With extra lube for her ultimate comfort and enjoyment. No friction, no stickiness.

4.      Pleasurable fit

52mm nominal width for a closer fit and enhanced intimacy.

5.      Pleasant scent

o   3 pieces that retails at a recommended price of RM14.45 per pack; and

o   10 pieces at RM41.95 per pack; and
