(22 July 2025, Hong Kong) Bespoke Hong Kong skincare brand SKIN NEED, renowned for its natural, vegan and cruelty-free formulas crafted in California, has unveiled its first flagship boutique in Times Square, Causeway Bay. This stylish space embraces both science and nature, offering personalised skin analysis and facials that blend advanced techniques with botanical ingredients. Beauty enthusiasts are invited to discover signature products and tailored treatments designed for their unique needs. A new product line, the Black Series, debuts to celebrate the store opening, featuring advanced formulas that address skin aging concerns and elevate every skincare routine.
Caring for both people and the planet, the brand’s customised approach to wholesome skincare is evident in its first physical boutique, where clean lines and bright, spacious interiors reflect the luminous products offered. Available in-store and on its dedicated website (www.skinneed.com), these gentle yet highly effective formulas cater to various skin needs. As a summer bonus, selected items specifically designed to address skin behaviour during Hong Kong’s hot, humid months are available at a 10% discount until 30 August 2025.
SKIN NEED was founded in Hong Kong in 2015 by biochemist Christal Leung. Its non-formulaic, holistic and sustainable approach to skincare adheres to the ethos of technology meeting nature to provide an individualised experience for each client. This customer-centric journey begins with personalised SKIN NEED Analysis designed to identify the products that will best suit them. The effects of genetics, epigenetics, environment, lifestyle and physical and emotional well-being on the skin are revealed through a comprehensive questionnaire.
A new-generation skin-analysis system utilising CPL (Cross-Polarised Light) to spotlight conditions such as erythema, acne and dermatitis, and AI to predict how the skin will age is conducted before each facial. Expert consultants then tailor the brand’s bespoke formulas, mix-and-match regimens and targeted treatments to protect, improve and uplift each individual’s skin.
All products are formulated in California using plant-based, vegan-friendly ingredients and cruelty-free principles. They are suitable for all skin types including the most sensitive, and are additive-free – no alcohol, fragrances, colorants, thickeners or preservatives. These precious bioactive formulas come in airless, opaque and environmentally aware bottles to preserve their shelf life.
From Acne Treatment to Active Skin Renewal – the Black Series Arrives in August 2025
Dressed in dashing black packaging, the Black Series skincare line will premiere in August 2025. Quadruple Vitamin C Serum (HK$588, 30ml) combines four forms of vitamin C with vitamin E and hyaluronic acid for radiant, hydrated skin. Retinol and Resveratrol Cream (HK$588, 30ml) features collagen-boosting liposomal retinol and the antioxidant resveratrol for deep hydration and skin renewal; and Fortified Ferulic Serum (HK$588 for 2 x 15ml) targets skin aging caused by the environment with ferulic acid, vitamins E and C, co-enzyme Q-10 and licorice extract.
Facial Treatments Focusing on Science Extend the Brand’s Famed Personalised Service
The opening of the SKIN NEED boutique with its private treatment room affirms the personal touch for which the brand is renowned – inviting beauty aficionados to receive first-hand experience of the customised fusion of science and nature.
A curated menu of eight bespoke facial treatments is presented, highlighting cutting-edge skin-corrective technologies from South Korea performed by highly trained professionals who dip into the SKIN NEED Clinical Collection of 18 potent formulas applied according to individual skin needs. These advanced formulations designed for salon use encompass deep cleansing, chemical exfoliation, multi-hyaluronic acid essences, fortifying masks, and more. They also include products from the brand’s treatment-exclusive SKIN NEED Exosome Series.
Each treatment begins with an AI-empowered skin analysis to determine skin needs, and concludes with a complimentary gift set for aftercare at home, including a serum, face mask and eye mask.
Particularly effective during the summer season, the 75-minute Electro-Sculpt Facial (HK$1,680) tackles loss of skin elasticity, hollowed complexion and hyperpigmentation, leaving skin revitalised – denser, firmer, brighter, more contoured, balanced and toned than before. Another standout among the eight customised facials is the firming RF Collagen Up Facial (HK$2,880), which amplifies the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid to prevent and treat loss of skin elasticity.
