CARiNG Pharmacy Reinforces Its Position as a Leader in Sensitive Skin Solutions

1 May 2025

PETALING JAYA: CARiNG Pharmacy has officially launched its ‘Bye Bye Sensitive Skin’ section across all its outlets nationwide — a move that further underscores the brand’s commitment to helping Malaysians manage sensitive and eczema-prone skin with confidence and care.

The launch event, held at 1 Utama Shopping Centre, brought together healthcare professionals, skincare experts, and members of the public for a day of educational talks, panel discussions, and live demonstrations — all centred on promoting better skin health.

Speaking at the event, Chong Yeow Siang, Managing Director of CARiNG Pharmacy, shared the inspiration behind this initiative:

“We recognise that sensitive and eczema-prone skin can significantly impact daily life. Through this initiative, we aim to be more than just a retail outlet — we want to be a reliable support system. With trusted skincare options and well-trained pharmacists in every store, we are here to accompany our customers on their skincare journey.”

The ‘Bye Bye Sensitive Skin’ section features over 50 skincare brands renowned for their gentle, dermatologically tested, and fragrance-free formulations — carefully selected to suit conditions such as eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, and other sensitivity-related concerns.

As part of the initiative, more than 300 CARiNG pharmacists across Malaysia have been certified as Atopic Eczema Counsellors. This ensures that customers receive professional advice and personalised recommendations, whether they are shopping for themselves, their children, or elderly family members.

The launch event included a panel discussion featuring the President of the Malaysian Eczema Association, who highlighted the increasing awareness of eczema in Malaysia and emphasised the importance of early intervention and education. Joining the panel was Dr Amanda Elli, a respected dermatologist and skincare expert, who shared insights on identifying triggers, selecting suitable products, and maintaining a healthy skin routine.

In her talk, Dr Elli stressed the importance of public awareness and accessible care:

“It is encouraging to see a retail pharmacy taking such a proactive role in sensitive skin care. Many Malaysians live with eczema or skin sensitivities without knowing where to turn. Initiatives like this can truly make a difference.”

Dr Elli also conducted a live demonstration on proper cleansing techniques for sensitive skin — a vital yet often misunderstood step in skincare routines. Attendees learned simple but effective methods to protect the skin barrier and prevent flare-ups, especially for children and those with chronic skin issues.

Members of the public are invited to visit the ongoing ‘Bye Bye Sensitive Skin’ roadshow at 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Ground Floor Centre Court, which runs from 29 April to 4 May 2025. Visitors can enjoy complimentary skin consultations, product sampling, exclusive offers, and guidance from trained CARiNG pharmacists throughout the week.

Whether you are new to managing skin sensitivities or have been living with them for years, the ‘Bye Bye Sensitive Skin’ section aims to provide a safe, trusted space where customers can find effective solutions and genuine support.

CARiNG Pharmacy welcomes everyone to experience the new section at any outlet nationwide — and to discover how the right care can make all the difference.

Founded in Malaysia in 1994, CARiNG Pharmacy has been a trusted name among Malaysians for decades. In 2021, it acquired Georgetown Pharmacy and Wellings Pharmacy, serving the northern region of Malaysia, forming the CARiNG Pharmacy Group. Committed to enhancing community health and well-being, the group now operates over 250 stores nationwide, introduces innovative health services, and adopts green practices — all driven by its vision to be Malaysia’s most trusted and admired pharmacy.
