Blackheads & Oily Skin Top Teen's Skincare Concerns

Blackheads and oily skin are amongst the top skin concerns faced by teenagers. When teens hit puberty, their oil glands become overactive thereby resulting in the production of excessive sebum. The excess sebum and built-up of dead skin cells in the hair follicles then forms blackheads. The need to use a facemask during this time of the pandemic can worsen one’s skin condition as it traps dirt and bacteria underneath it. Without proper care and treatment, blackheads will potentially lead to enlarged pores.

OXY the skincare brand for teens has introduced the new Anti-Blackhead Gel that is specially formulated to treat blackheads. It is gentle on the skin yet effective in diminishing blackheads which is usually found on the nose. 

Effective ingredients found in its formulation include: 

i. Glycolic Acid (AHA) and Salicylic Acid (BHA)

Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid are both active ingredients that targets different layers of the skin. While Glycolic Acid exfoliates and removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, Salicylic Acid is able to penetrate deep into the skin and clear out impurities such as dirt and sebum from the pores to ensure skin around the nose area is clear and smooth. Salicylic Acid used in the new OXY Anti-Blackhead Gel is derived from Wintergreen Leaf Extract, which is 100% natural Salicylic Acid that comes with skincare benefits such as purifying the skin, removing excess sebum and ultimately helping to get rid of blackheads.

A Peace of Mind for Nanotechnology Consumers

With the consumer’s best interests at the forefront, NanoVerify has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Association (FOMCA), in order to establish confidence in consumers when purchasing nano-verified products on 2nd Dec 2021. With wide-spread fraud claims in nanotechnology goods, NanoVerify has become the reassuring solution to consumers as the authority in certification and safety.

The MoU, which was signed by Ybhg. Datuk Fadilah Baharin, FASc, Chairperson of NanoVerify, and Ybhg. Prof Emeritus Datuk Dr Marimuthu Nadason, President of FOMCA, will allow FOMCA to become an additional avenue for consumers to direct their product enquiries on product certification.

NanoVerify is leading the way in efforts to develop Malaysia into a certification hub for nanotechnology, much like the country has positioned itself as a key player in Halal certification. A wholly owned company under NanoMalaysia Berhad, an agency under the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI), NanoVerify moderates and facilitates nanotechnology development and commercialisation in Malaysia. There are currently 716 nanotechnology products in the Malaysian market, with 148 certified under the NanoVerify Programme.

Ybhg. Datuk Fadilah Baharin, Chairperson of NanoVerify

“NanoVerify is an important structure to facilitate the authentication of nanotechnology products in Malaysia,” said Ybhg. Datuk Fadilah Baharin, Chairperson of NanoVerify. “We hope that with the MoU in agreement with FOMCA, customers will be further able to identify fraudulent products available on the market with ease, and ensure that they are only purchasing quality products.”
