SKEYNDOR Launches V-Shape Lifting Home Care here in Malaysia!!!

I was really excited recently as I was one of the lucky invited guests who got introduced to Spain’s no. 1 skincare brand SKEYNDOR here in Malaysia ….

I have heard quite a bit about this brand which is  very famous in Europe and SKEYNDOR actually has a history of 56 years as well as present in more than 55 countries and is ranked within the top 15 professional cosmetic brands in the world!!!!

Patrick Sha, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Unique Aesthetics Sdn Bhd which is the sole distributor of SKEYNDOR here in Malaysia , said the company is truly excited to represent a beauty care pioneer such as SKEYNDOR which leverages on its “Scientific Cosmetics” ideology in the research and innovation of skincare products using environmentally sustainable ingredients suitable for Asian skin…..

Contrary to popular belief, anti-aging starts from home and not from the clinic or doctor's office. The key is that a beauty regime needs to be an everyday routine to be effective…

One of the top beauty issues in Malaysia is ageing and sagging skin, especially amongst the 40s and above - yup and this includes me…..

Owing to busy lifestyles, poor eating habits and negligence of a good skincare regime, the age affected is also getting younger.

However, not to worry as Unique Aesthetics rolled out its innovative Global Lift V-Shape Lifting Home Care - a day and night treatment with a lifting effect and firming action to be carried out at home for 15 consecutive days. 

The home care set aims to address those imperfections that arise in the neck, double chin and neckline areas, conveniently and effectively in the comfort of one’s home. Hence, improving firmness, elasticity and reduces neck wrinkles are key to these problem areas with the new range.

Did you know that constantly looking at our mobile devices is the main lead to sagging in the neck area. 

However with SKEYNDOR’s Global Lift V-Shape Lifting Home Care wrinkles can be reduced by 18% and moreover, 3 hours after application, the skin appears 24% firmer and more revitalised!!!

The product’s special ingredient lies in its anti-ageing technology “ProGEN-in”. The home care product kit comprises three products - the V-Shape Anti-Gravity Serum, the V-Shape Anti-Gravity Cream and the V-Shape contouring mask - all combining to offer benefits including an immediate tightening effect and lifting action, a firming action, defining the facial oval, reducing the volume of the double chin, as well as the wrinkles in this area. 

For this exclusive launch, a V-Shape Lifting Roller has been included to achieve the best facial results.

And yes, I have had the opportunity to give this product a try and am loving what it does to my horrible unsightly double chin!!!

During the launch event, Ms Margaret Beales, an international beauty specialist from Spain with over 35 years of beauty and skincare experience, shared insights and tips on the Asian beauty culture and skin health trends.

“Our cells will start aging as early as 30 years of age. Early skin care regime will aid in prolonging and maintaining our skin’s health.

“To achieve optional results with SKEYNDOR’s Global Lift, apply the Serum and Cream twice a day, every morning and night.


 To complete the treatment, apply the V-Shape Mask once a week, after using the Serum and before using the Cream. It is key that the mask remains well attached to the chin for 20 to 25 minutes of exposure”,advised Margaret.

SKEYNDOR products can be purchased online at https://skeyndor.com.my or through its authorised beauty salons.
