FANCL’s revolutionary collagen-essence and intake-supplement duo not only boosts absorption of the protein but also delivers radiance and deep hydration that get you glowing from within.

The beauty brand FANCL has pioneered preservative-free skincare and health supplements, with pharmaceutical-grade products free of parabens, fragrances, artificial colours, and petroleum surfactants. Its latest collagen essence-supplement duo is the result of investigating an inner and outer beauty concept that sounds too good to be true.

So why collagen? Because it’s the main protein in your body, found in bones, muscles, tendons and skin, keeping the latter bouncy, youthful, plump and resilient.

The digestive system breaks down collagen into amino acids, which are then utilised by the entire body, not just the skin. But FANCL's scientists guarantee that the collagen in the Tense up intake supplement will boost the level in your skin. This is done with its Japan-patented Tri-Peptide Collagen, which is made up of ultra-small molecules that are more easily absorbed than general collagen, and comprise amino-acid chains similar to the collagen structure of the dermal layer. What this means is that it reaches the skin directly.

One bottle of Tense up daily replenishes and revs up collagen synthesis – a single bottle contains 2600mg of Tri-Peptide Collagen, the optimum amount of collagen that the skin needs and can absorb each day. It also has Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Hyaluronic acid and rice extract with ceramide, essential nutrient boosters that also help reduce fine lines and even out pigmentation and blemishes. And, backed up by more than 40 years of scientific research, FANCL has developed a revolutionary essence – Core Effector.

The result of breakthrough discovery, the main active ingredient in Core Effector is an elasticity restoring T protein that boosts collagen and elastin (the key protein that helps skin return to its original shape), increases collagen density and strengthens the linkage between collagen and elastin.

FANCL's scientists have conducted clinical experiments to prove that the quality and quantity of skin collagen and elastin improves significantly after using Core Effector, all the way from the bottom skin layer to the upper. After just five days’ consecutive use, the skin is firmer and smoother.

Simply put two pumps of Core Effector into the palm and apply it thoroughly to your face right after cleansing – the ideal time for your skin to absorb richer, effective ingredients. Follow this with a lotion, emulsion or cream moisturiser.

Use Core Effector in combination with Tense up for a complete inner and outer collagen remedy – a bottle of Tense up supplement a day, plus an application of the Core Effector essence to ensure your skin is soft, supple and radiant.

Pamper yourself with this elixir of youth or give it to the skincare aficionado in your life. FANCL products are ideal for the most sensitive skin.

It's no secret that face masks --a huge part of our new normal-- is wreaking havoc on our skin. Here's how to curb the problem.

From breakouts and irritation, to dehydration and clogged pores, the frustration with mask-related skin issues are very real. So how can we tackle this in an age where face masks are absolutely necessary? FANCL has the answer with three after-mask recovery tips that result in cleaner, brighter and fresher skin.

Cleanse

Whether you are wearing make-up or not, cleansing is always going to be the first step in any good skincare routine. But it is effective facial cleansing that needs to take place in order to remove as much dirt, oil, and other unwanted debris as possible. The Nano Cleansing Technology in Prestige's Beauty & Wellness Awards 2020 winner FANCL MCO Mild Cleansing Oil does just that, and cleanses deep into the pores of your face, lifting out even the most stubborn waterproof makeup and pore-clogging dirt.

Unclog

Increased humidity under your mask, especially around the nose or chin area, can produce excess sebum that will congest pores and in some cases, cause blackheads. FANCL's Pore Cleansing Pack is the easiest way to banish deep-rooted blackheads and unclog pores. The new formula, with sea mineral clay, konjac extract particles, and the upgraded element of spherical activated charcoal, help to draw out impurities from within the pores in one fell swoop, ensuring that your skin is clean at once.

Purify

Couple this with the Yogurt Facial Treatment by FANCL, which is made to purify and eliminate oxidised and rough dead skin cells, and you're set. After cleansing, simply massage the treatment into your skin which is brimming with yogurt filtrate, pear juice ferment filtrate and hydrolyzed yeast extract which helps to restore the skin to its optimal condition while removing dead skin cells and speeding up skin renew; fresh royal jelly extract which helps to boost skin metabolism, prevent and relieve acne marks; and green tea extract which smooths out a rough and dull complexion, as it tightens pores, to restore a clearer complexion.

It’s been a long day and you’re exhausted. You’d want nothing more than to dive into bed and pass out.

We’ve all been there, the “I’m too tired to remove my makeup” moment. You know you’ll regret it. Going to bed without thoroughly removing makeup can weaken skin condition and cause damage. Makeup removal is the most crucial part of your n-step skincare routine. Think of all the makeup products that you’ve put on your face layers by layers. Those finely-sized makeup particles can make your skin looks flawless, but at the same time, can harm your skin if they are not thoroughly removed as they easily get hidden deep into pores. That means, of every bottle and tube of skincare product in your cabinet, the one you should be most discerning about is your makeup remover. For Prestige's Beauty and Wellness Awards, we were keen to see what gets you squeaky clean.

Evening Skincare Winner: The Makeup Remover

You might think your skin woes – dullness, roughness, blemishes and blackheads – are caused by wearing makeup. In fact, it’s not the makeup but the incomplete removal of makeup that wreaks havoc on our skin. That’s why we need a makeup remover that can remove long-lasting foundation and waterproof mascara as well as melt away oil, toxins and the particles that clog up our pores on a daily basis. FANCL MCO Mild Cleansing Oil is fortified with a unique Nano Cleansing Technology that penetrates deep into pores to remove stubborn makeup, with a velvety texture that prevents friction and rubbing of the skin. The ultra-gently formula also washes off completely, leaving skin feeling clean and refreshed, and is free of any preservatives, mineral oil, fragrance and artificial colourings.

Special Mention: FANCL Facial Washing Powder

Just like the FANCL slogan, less is more. Its Facial Washing Powder doesn’t contain any chemical foaming agents, including SLS or SLES, and still can easily form dense and rich foam that can penetrate deeply into small pores and effectively adheres to grime. It retains skin moisture and preps skin to fully absorb the nutrients from subsequent skincare products without leaving skin tight and dehydrated.

Our recommended beauty tip:
Use FANCL MCO Mild Cleansing Oil on a dry face, paying particular attention to the pores around the nose and chin. Follow with FANCL Facial Washing Powder for a complete double cleanse.
