The Most ‘Hardworking’ Cleanser Yet!

To help you take better care of your skin, Garnier introduces a first of its kind – a 3 in 1 Wash + Scrub + Mask!

When it comes to skin concerns, 80 percent of Malaysian women list shiny and oily skin as their main concern, which includes blackheads and open pores. This is no surprise, considering we live in a country that is humid and how most of us are constantly exposed to environmental harms such as pollution and UV rays that can cause skin to act up.

Naturally, the first step to taking good care of your skin is washing it well. This essential step helps to not only remove dirt and excess sebum from pores, it also preps skin to better absorb skincare products that is applied thereafter.

But what happens when your cleanser doesn’t work as hard as it should? Think clogged pores and oily skin with an undesired shiny surface plagued with imperfections.

To prevent this from happening to your skin, Garnier has developed a revolutionary product that works harder than any other. Think of it as multi-tasking at its best. That’s right – a skincare product that does not only one or two but THREE actions to help you achieve crystal clear and healthy skin.

DOING EVERYTHING FOR ONE RESULT:
PURE GENIUS!

Introducing Garnier Pure 3in1 Cleanser. You got it – one product you can use to wash away impurities, scrub away blackheads, and mask out oiliness and imperfections!

There is no doubt that Pure 3in1 Cleanser is the smart-working deep cleanser like no other in the market. Because it understands how skincare users are always looking for more, Garnier has developed a unique formula for Pure 3in1 Cleanser to give them multi-benefits with just one great product.

With three benefits in one product, your routine is significantly simplified:
#1. WASH Purifies skin and eliminates impurities. It also helps to protect against imperfections before they appear.
#2. SCRUB Removes dead skin cells, reduces blackheads and unclogs pores to reveal a more radiant complexion.
#3. MASK Use weekly as a treatment product to help control oiliness.

To create this triple-action product, Garnier combined nature’s best active ingredients to combat oily skin and imperfections such as blemishes, acne and unsightly marks. Proven for their efficacy, these active ingredients are well known not only for their anti-bacterial properties but also healing powers.

The wonderful active ingredients of natural origin? White Clay, Zinc, Smithsonite and Pumice Stone.
• White Clay provides a long-lasting shine control action by mattifying skin and controlling excess sebum. It also helps to absorb shine so that skin looks fresh all day long.
• Zinc is a mineral that helps even complexion by eliminating impurities and reducing inflammation. Meanwhile, Smithsonite deeply purifies skin and protects skin cells against environmental irritants. Day after day, skin feels and looks better as imperfections fade and stay away.
• Pumice Stone works to scrub away blackheads and unclog pores.

Combined with Salicylic Acid, the number one ingredient to combat imperfections with its anti-bacterial properties, Pure 3in1 Cleanser neutralises bacteria in skin to deeply unclog pores and provide oily skin the washing power it requires.

GARNIER WORKS HARD FOR YOU!

No more clutter of product after product; Pure 3in1 Cleanser is all you need for great skin! Use Pure 3in1 Cleanser to deeply wash skin of daily grime and dirt. Then, use it twice or thrice a week as a treatment mask to absorb excess sebum and to help control oil.

48-Hours Hydration Up
to Five Skin Layers Deep!

Treat your skin to hydration at its best with L’Oréal Paris’s first-of-its-kind hydrating essence. The result? Long-lasting hydration that penetrates skin layer by layer for ultimate comfort and silky smoothness.

When it comes to healthy skin, it all boils down to one main factor: hydration. The very fact that our body weight consists of up to 60 per cent water should tell you how important keeping it hydrated is! As our skin is the largest organ on our body, it will require long-lasting hydration that penetrates deeply in order for it to feel and look great.

However, living in a humid and hot country like Malaysia will prove this to be very difficult. What more when we are constantly exposed to environmental harms like pollution and damaging UV rays. Think staying inside is your best option? Not if you are in an air-conditioned room all the time, which has been proven to speed up skin’s dehydration process, resulting in roughness, dryness and a tight feeling.

L’Oréal Paris addresses the issue of dehydrated skin with its popular HydraFresh, a range of hydrating skincare products that keeps your skin fresh and hydrated throughout the day. Think of it as an instant splash of water on your face, delivering freshness and moisture where you need it most. To give you a boost in hydration, L’Oréal Paris introduces HydraFresh Deep Boosting Essence, a first, truly advanced hydrating essence that helps deliver hydration into multiple layers of your skin!

TRIPLE-LOCKS MOISTURE FOR 48 HOURS…
UP TO FIVE SKIN LAYERS!

Imagine being able to quench your skin’s thirst all the time – that is the theory behind the innovative HydraFresh Deep Boosting Essence, a lightweight essence that does so much for your skin’s hydration level.

With its revolutionary skincare technology as well as highly effective ingredients, HydraFresh Deep Boosting Essence is able to lock in moisture in your skin, layer by layer, up to 48 hours!

THREE HYDRATING INGREDIENTS IN ONE SINGLE DROP:
TRIPLE HYALURONIC ACID TECHNOLOGY
Often referred to as the ‘key to the fountain of youth’, hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the human body to help cushion and lubricate skin and tissues. To boost hydration and lock in moisture to several skin layers deep, HydraFresh Deep Boosting Essence contains a triple hyaluronic acid technology to ensure that moisture is well infused and sustains through the day.

BREAKABLE VITAMIN E BEADS
Containing pure Vitamin E, these breakable beads deliver the highest quality of ingredient upon application on skin. As a result, skin is protected from external aggressions.

PURE FRENCH SPA WATER
Sourced from the French Vosges Mountains, the pure French spa water boosts skin’s natural ability to lock in moisture. Used in HydraFresh Deep Boosting Essence, skin stays hydrated up to 48 hours!

With its delicate melting snow texture, applying HydraFresh Deep Boosting Essence is pure joy as it instantly floods skin with a wave of delightful freshness, leaving skin smooth and supple. For the very first time, your skin experiences deeper hydration for longer and more effectively! Packed in a beautifully designed bottle, HydraFresh Deep Boosting Essence is your key to healthy, bouncy fresh skin.

CLINICALLY PROVEN RESULTS!

Put through three stringent clinical tests, the results for HydraFresh Deep Boosting Essence speak for themselves.
TEST 1: STRIPPING TEST
THE PROCEDURE Skin is stripped five layers deep, whereby each strip consists a layer of skin. For each skin strip, test is done on both treated and non-treated zones. Treated zone refers to skin that has been applied with HydraFresh Deep Boosting Essence.
THE RESULT In the treated zone, skin experiences significant hydration up to five layers deep. Even on the fifth layer, HydraFresh Deep Boosting Essence is able to penetrate deep within, resulting in smooth, hydrated and refined skin overall.

TEST 2: DERMOTRACE TEST
THE PROCEDURE A testing tool is applied with a standard pressure on treated and non-treated zones, leaving a mark behind. The deeper the mark is, the bouncier the skin.
THE RESULT The zone treated with HydraFresh Deep Boosting Essence shows a deeper and more evident mark left behind, proving its efficacy in providing skin with deep hydration.

TEST 3: CORNEOMETER TEST
THE PROCEDURE Again, using another testing tool, skin’s hydration level is measured every four, eight, 24 and 48 hours after application. This process is done on both treated and non-treated zones. Treated zone refers to skin that has been applied with HydraFresh Deep Boosting Essence.
THE RESULT Even after 48 hours, the treated zone showed a significant improvement in hydration level.

Draw the curtains, light a candle and take a listen.” Perez Hilton exclaims “LOVE IT!! This song is a trance-y, smooth HIT!! USA Today describes “Climax” as “Usher’s pulsing new single showcasing his silky-strong tenor” and Entertainment Weekly highlights Usher’s “steaming-hot falsetto.

The video for “Climax” which premiered March 9th on VEVO with already over 5.8 million views was directed by Sam Pilling and is a dramatic, highly-suspenseful and attention-gripping visual stunner. Watch it here!

Usher is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on LOOKING FOR MYSELF, working with a host of top-notch collaborators including Salaam Remi, Diplo, Rico Love, Jim Jonsin, and Max Martin, among others.

LOOKING FOR MYSELF comes on the heels of his two multi-platinum chart-topping collaborations “Without You” by David Guetta which held the #1 spot on the Pop charts and “Promise” with Romeo Santos which held the #1 spot on the Latin charts.

Usher has been ranked by the RIAA as one of the best-selling artists in American music history, having sold over 43 million albums worldwide. He has won numerous awards including seven Grammy Awards and was recently named the number one Hot 100 artist of the 2000s decade. Billboard named him the second most successful artist of the 2000s decade, with his career-propelling 2004 album Confessions being ranked as the top solo album of the 2000s decade.
