Sensitive skin has long been a silent struggle for many, unpredictable flare-ups, redness, and irritation that make even the gentlest products feel harsh. Now, there’s good news for those seeking relief: Winona, China’s first clinically validated dermatological skincare brand, has officially made its debut in Singapore.

Founded in 2010, Winona has become a household name in China’s skincare landscape, trusted by dermatologists and consumers alike for its science-backed, botanical-based formulations. The brand is renowned for merging clinical research with natural ingredients to provide effective and gentle care for even the most reactive skin types.

A Science-Meets-Nature Approach to Sensitivity

At the heart of Winona’s philosophy lies one mission, to care for, protect, and restore the skin’s natural balance. The brand’s formulations are built around repairing the skin barrier, the first line of defence against environmental stressors and irritation.

For its Singapore launch, Winona introduces its flagship line: the Sensitiveness Relieving Moisturising Tolerance-Extreme Range, designed to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and strengthen the skin’s natural resilience.

The Power of Himalayan Cherry PROMAX

Leading Winona’s innovation is the Himalayan Cherry PROMAX (Prinsepia Utilis Royle), a powerful fruit rich in unsaturated fatty acids that support deep skin repair. Through a patented low-temperature cold extraction process and six stages of refinement, Winona obtains Prinsepia Utilis PROMAX Seed Oil, which has been clinically proven to boost skin barrier repair effectiveness by 5% to 20%.

This patented extract targets both the onset and transmission of sensitivity, working on the genetic and neurological levels. It strengthens key barrier-related genes while regulating Substance P, the “sensitivity amplifier” responsible for redness, itching, and irritation. The result is skin that not only feels soothed but becomes more resilient over time.

Enriched with Portulaca Oleracea, Yunnan Rhizoma Paridis, and Yunnan Camellia, the range combines anti-inflammatory and antioxidant botanicals for complete care, instant calm and long-term protection.

“Sensitive skin deserves more than temporary relief, it deserves care that repairs, protects, and strengthens from within,” says Ms Sharon Teo, Brand Manager of Winona Singapore. “We’re proud to bring our clinically validated skincare to Singapore, helping everyone feel radiant, resilient, and truly comfortable in their own skin.”

Lightweight Sun Protection for Singapore’s Climate

Rounding out the collection is the Aqua-Shield Sunblock Milk SPF50+++, a next-generation sunscreen designed specifically for humid weather. Combining physical and chemical filters, it blocks 99% of UV rays while repairing photo-damage and preventing darkening with carosine and artemia extract.

Anti-inflammatory botanicals such as bisabolol, ginger root extract, and dandelion root extract soothe irritation and protect against pollution-induced stress. Loved for its featherlight, non-sticky texture, 97% of users agreed it leaves a smooth, natural finish that doesn’t clog pores. The portable bottle with a built-in steel ball ensures easy, even dispensing, a smart design for daily use.
