NUTOX Renewing Treatment Gives you Instant, Lasting Glow

Pop culture trends come and go, but a trend that has taken the world by storm has got to be the Korean wave craze! With young Malaysians now returning to the office and universities in an effort to adapt to the endemic phase, NUTOX – Malaysia’s leading anti-aging skincare brand – is kicking off a K-pop-inspired thematic campaign to help Malaysians unlock hydrated, glowing skin with their NUTOX Renewing Treatment range.

NUTOX’s Get-Set, Glow campaign kickstarts with a bespoke K-pop-inspired music video with the same name, taking you on a journey to get that instant, lasting glow whilst highlighting the two stars of their Renewing Treatment range – the NUTOX Renewing Treatment Moisturising Essence and Ampoule. The music video is now available for all to enjoy on NUTOX’s social media platforms and campaign microsite.

Jasper Lim, Executive Director at Tohtonku, shared that the Korean wave has influenced millennials and Gen Z, bringing over a new emphasis on healthy, hydrated and glowing skin. “Over the course of the pandemic, we noticed a shift in consumers’ skincare priorities with new habits emerging where they’re focusing on fuss-free skincare at home - having minimalist routines but instant results. The Korean influence has also driven a consumer desire for ‘glass skin’ - hydrated, glowing skin - which the NUTOX Renewing Treatment range offers. By combining the trends and needs of our consumers, this range has been formulated for a fuss-free, minimalistic skincare routine, which we see is perfect for the modern girl bosses, hustlers, on-the-go millennials and Gen Z. ​​Used in tandem with each other, it’s the perfect recipe for instant, glowing skin.”

Back To School with SWAN

My mom has been buying SWAN school bags for me when I was a teenager. My school mates were always jealous of my beautiful and functional SWAN school bags. Now that I am a parents of two girls, I want to give the same good quality SWAN products to my girls too.

Since the kids can finally go back to school physically in full force. To their surprise, I have ordered the SWAN Easy Pac Backpack with Personalization, Tuition Bag, drawing art bag and lunch bag for them to bring to their schools and tuition centre.

My girls love the SWAN Easy Pac Backpacks with Personalization because they are customized with their initial. The size is just nice, made it easy to carry around.

While the tuition bags are big enough to store their books, exercise books and stationery.
