SOOTHE YOUR SKIN 

Is yours dry and sensitive? CNP Laboratory Aqua Soothing Gel Cream effectively relieves redness, stabilises irritation, and calms skin by enveloping it in a protective layer of naturally derived allantoin and portulaca floral extracts, which are suitable for sensitive skin. Using a special patented technology, the light, non-sticky gel lowers skin temperature and retains moisture for all-day hydration, leaving the complexion soft and dewy. 

Priced at $49.80 for 80ml at Guardian and http://www.cnpcosmetics.com.sg

SMART TRACKING 

The newly-launched Samsung Gear Sport Smartwatch and Gear Fit2 Pro Fitness GPS Fitness Band make leading a healthy lifestyle a breeze.

CLEAN LAUNDRY 

Did you know that 70 percent of your clothing stains cannot be seen by the naked eye? Get down to the nitty-gritty with Top NANOX’s Ultra Concentrated Liquid Detergent that has a plant- based washing ingredient called MEE+ that deeply penetrates fabric fibres to break down stains, even invisible ones. 

Unlike other detergents, you’ll only need a quarter of what you’d normally use per washing dosage. And there are two variants: Deo Bright restores brightness while adding a touch of citrus fragrance. Anti-Bacterial, on the other hand, contains the antiseptic benefits of tea tree oil. 

Priced at $6.95 for a 450ml bottle at all leading supermarkets and retail outlets.
