DrYGshop
Popular aesthetic clinic Dr Yvonne Goh Aesthetics has a proprietary range of clinical skincare products made to address a full range of skin conditions from acne to pigmentation and sun spots. For all-round anti-ageing, check out the Retinol Illuminator ($110), a best-selling blend of retinol and botanical extracts for firming the skin, reducing fine lines and evening out skin tone.
Another fab pick is the Hydra-C Intense ($85), a lightweight, oil-free serum formulated with Vitamin C for brightening and sodium hyaluronate for hydration. And, if you need an extra boost, try the Glow Booster Microtabs ($165), which helps to neutralise melanin production and protect the skin from free radical oxidation, resulting in a brighter and healthier complexion in the long run. Microtabs are micro-sized tablets produced with patented advanced German technology that compresses multiple supplements into one single mini-spoon that is easy to consume, fast to absorb and convenient for travel.

This online beauty store offers a small but niche range of cult-favourite beauty products from UK brands Instant Effects and Cult 51.
