Guardian Launches derma365 Sensitive Skin Solution for Dry and Sensitive Skin

Guardian, the largest pharmacy, health and beauty retail chain in Malaysia will introduce the new derma365 Sensitive Skin Solution which will be available exclusively at Guardian.

With changing weather patterns and environmental pollution on the rise, more people are reporting sensitive skin. The 2012 International Journal Of Cosmetic Science states that 90% of Asian women have sensitive skin, and experts believe that up to 50% of the global population have some form of sensitive skin. In light of these facts, the time is right for a more affordable sensitive skin solution.

Enter the new derma365 sensitive skin solution that is developed by Baxter Laboratories and made in Australia. The solution comprises of a Gentle Cleanser and a Gentle Lotion that together cleanses and moisturizers without stripping even delicate skin, making it suitable for those with dry or sensitive skin. It combines natural ingredients such as soothing colloidal oats with cutting edge, scientifically proven moisturizes such as trimethylglycine for a solution that is both gentle and effective, that can soothe, moisturize and protect the skin’s barrier.

derma365 relies on the combined power of nature and science with Sensium 2, our multi- benefit complex that helps to soothe and protect sensitive and dry skin. derma365 Gentle Cleanser and Gentle Lotion for all skin types combine organic Colloidal Oatmeal and Trimethylglycine that helps to promote skin’s protection barrier and protects from harsh external environment. 

Trimethylglycine helps to control water balance in skin and helps to protect from dehydration for soft and smooth skin. Colloidal Oatmeal has been used for centuries as a soothing agent to prevent from dehydration. Its high concentration of starches and hydrocolloid β-D-glucan form an occlusive water-binding barrier that holds moisture in the skin. It also acts as a buffer system, helping to restore the normal pH of the skin.


For best results, users are advised to take lukewarm baths or showers using derma365 Gentle Cleanser, followed by the application of derma365 Gentle Lotion to the still-damp skin to moisturise skin.
