Here are all the reasons you should check out The Skin Pharmacy. It’s the first homegrown boutique pharmacy; it champions made-in-Singapore skincare; and, most of all, it offers customisation services to tailor make formulas just for you. Make an appointment at any one of its four locations, and the pharmacist on call will set you up with a skin analysis consultation ($20, or complimentary if you buy any product).
This computerised programme takes images of your face and charts it against the data collected from others of the same gender and age. The results are then explained to you in easy-to-understand terms. It’s all quick and painless – unless you find yourself traumatised by the realisation that you’ve got countless wrinkles, sun damage or clogged pores. But no worries, the staff are quick to recommend treatments to cater to your needs, no matter if you’ve got oily skin or you prefer natural and organic ingredients.
The stores, scattered around the island at four locations, offer a variety of product ranges that deal with a whole host of problems. From self-explanatory, like anti-aging and anti-acne, to the amino range for sensitive skin, everything is immediately customisable with careful calculations done by the trained pharmacists to give your skin that extra boost. The brand is also known for its concentrated serums, launched once a year, that target particular concerns, like damaged skin or enlarged pores. And it doesn't stop at skincare. You can shop for fragrances, shampoos, soaps and even reed diffuser sticks, too. Oh, and if you stop by the nex outlet, go ahead and de-stress with a calming aromatherapy or hydrating facial.
The Skin Pharmacy is also at Parkway Parade and Jem.
