With less than a couple of weeks to go until the most wonderful time of the year, it’s time for the annual Prestige Christmas Giveaway. From December 13th to 24th, we’re offering Prestige Online readers the chance to win amazing prizes each and every day on Instagram, as we count down the 12 days of Christmas.

Whether you’re stuck on your gift list, sick of shopping, or just in need of a treat, here’s just a little something from us to you, to thank you for being our loyal readers.

Giveaway Day 7: The Cream of Augustinus Bader

The jury's out. Augustinus Bader is the best skincare of all time, according to WWD Beauty Inc, who put together the definitive list of top skincare products by harnessing the voices of authority in the beauty world – experts such as founders, retailers, influencers, editors, analysts and artists in the field.

If the word of the "industry bible" of beauty is anything to go by, you're now looking at the Number 1 product – Augustins Bader's heroes The Cream and The Rich Cream occupy the top spot on the list. According to the beauty panel, it's "the combination of the right product launched at the right time in the right way. It does what it says it's going to do."

And what it says it'll do is this: The Cream, inspired by 30 years of research and innovation, is an ultra-lightweight and instantly hydrating cream that promises even out the skin's tone and texture, restoring vibrancy, health and radiance back to tired-looking skin.

The Outcome from the 30-year Research

Developed by Professor Augustinus Bader, a leading scientist in the stem cell biology field, The Cream is the outcome of his 30-year exploration of perfecting the skin healing and reawakening process.

Bader used natural ingredients to create an optimal environment for the body's repair and renewal. The brand's proprietary Trigger Factor Complex (TCF8), combines natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and synthesized molecules in a unique formula that helps transform the complexion and replenish moisture. It's the key to transformative properties in Augustinus Bader's skincare.

Winter weather tends to dry and dull out our skin. The Cream can ensure your skin maintains its glossy glow for the holiday season.

The post How South African Brand Esse Uses Probiotics in Skincare (A Christmas Giveaway) appeared first on Prestige Online - Hong Kong.

Having being influenced by her mother, who has more than 35 years of expertise in beauty, facial and skincare products, Ashley Ong's passion for beauty is innate. Her mother, Madam Heng, had a very hands-on approach of taking care, diagnosing and successfully treating thousands of customers during her career as a beautician, while Ong has been exploring the beauty world as a blogger, columnist and writer, as well as venturing into corporate sales and marketing strategy. This has given her invaluable exposure to the best in beauty care and understanding what sensitive skin in particular requires for proper care and maintenance.

Growing up in Malaysia and being an avid traveller herself, Ong also understands the kind of dry and humid weather that we experience in Hong Kong and the busy lifestyles that most of us lead, which can also put our skin under extreme stress. Since giving up blogging to focus full time on CS12, Ong has seen the brand gain success in Hong Kong and Macau, with a growing customer fanbase. CS12’s signature product – which happens to be Ong’s favourite – is the best-selling Miracle Mask, a face cloth made with premium-grade Japanese silk that comes heavily saturated with goodness. Silk masks bond better with the skin than regular sheet masks and allow for a more thorough delivery of nutrients, while providing a more delicate application.

Containing ingredients with anti-inflammatory properties as well as hyaluronic acid, it creates the perfect environment to clear dead skin cells, generate new ones, and prevent skin damage from UV rays. “The mask is also very cooling – perfect for Hong Kong’s dry and humid weather – and can feel like a lifesaver if you’re sunburnt,” Ong says.

Aside from the Miracle Mask, Ong also swears by CS12’s Miracle Glow Tone-Up Sun Cushion, designed to be handy when you’re on the go but also want better sun protection for your skin. “I love how the Eternity Miracle Fluid gives her skin a very delicate complexion,” says Madam Heng. According to Ong, other CS12 top sellers include CS12 The Calming Ampoule, aimed to soothe sensitive and irritating skin conditions. Our intense calming formula helps to bring softness and lasting comfort to delicate skin texture, and vanishes skin irritation confidently with its patented skin calming formula, CalmEX.

Recently, as she’s been stuck in Penang due to Covid-19, Ong has been focusing on creating new products for CS12 as well as working on its branding. “My dream is to have our products alongside the likes of Estée Lauder and Clé de Peau Beauté,” says Ong, who’s also said that she’s so glad to be able to bring CS12 home to Malaysia. Although success is never easy, Ashley Ong’s mantra is that one must always keep one’s initial goal in focus and never give up – the hardest challenges will always precede success.

“This journey has been the adventure of a lifetime and I still feel like we’re at the beginning. It brings me such joy to hear that these products are truly helping people. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that we’d be able to impact lives like this – and the fact that I get to wake up every day and continue working on my passion is fantastic.”

Much to their customers’ delight, long-awaited new products are joining the CS12 family. Due to high demand, CS12 is launching a brand-new exfoliating product called the Kaolin Rejuvenating Exfoliating Mask, which polishes and purifies skin for pore perfection. In addition, CS12 is launching a series of exciting Christmas deals, including a 6-Days of Christmas Special Surprises and World Sheet Mask Day, which falls on December 21 each year.
