Invity drops two new products
Home-grown cosmeceutical brand Invity generated plenty of buzz when it launched its Youth Activating Instant Filler in 2022.
Now, the brand is back with two new products: Youth Activating Essence ($107), a toner to prime and prepare skin, and Youth Activating Microemulsion ($113), a moisturiser. Lightweight yet potent, these two products are said to be formulated especially for Singapore weather.
At the heart of all of Invity’s products is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a unique form of vitamin B derivative that is found in the body but rarely used in skincare until now. NAD+ is said to play a crucial role in all metabolic processes in the body.
The Youth Activating Microemulsion also contains antioxidant-rich botanical extracts and encapsulated calcium ions that are said to deliver calcium to the skin and help maintain its natural moisture.
Invity products are available online at sg.myinvity.com
