The Kadar difference
What honest skincare actually means
Not a slogan. Six commitments we can point to on every product page.
Print the dose
The active and its exact concentration are on the front of every bottle. No proprietary blends, no hidden percentages.
Pay for the active
We price to the cost of the ingredients and honest manufacturing, not to a luxury story. That is why a serum costs RM32, not RM320.
Nothing you do not need
No added fragrance, essential oils, dyes or filler actives. Fewer ingredients, each there for a reason.
Made and notified in Malaysia
Formulated and manufactured locally to the ISO 22716 GMP standard, and notified with the NPRA before every launch.
Recyclable and refillable
Glass and mono-material packaging, a bottle take-back at our stores, and refills on the bestsellers.
Honest claims only
If a benefit is not supported by testing, it does not go on the label. Our clinical studies manager signs off every line.
Made and formulated in Kuala Lumpur
A small lab, an honest promise
Every Kadar formula is developed and made in Malaysia to the ISO 22716 GMP standard and notified with the NPRA before it ships. You pay for the active at a fair price, with nothing hidden on the label.

In their words
What customers say
★★★★★
I stopped buying the expensive stuff. My skin is less oily by midday and I paid RM32. The label tells you exactly what is in it.
Aishah R.Shah Alam · Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%★★★★★
First retinoid that did not wreck my face. Started twice a week like the label says. Three months in, my texture is genuinely smoother.
Wei Jian L.Petaling Jaya · Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion★★★★☆
The redness around my nose has calmed right down. I use it morning and night. No fragrance, which my skin appreciates.
Priya M.Bangsar · Azelaic Acid 10% Suspension★★★★★
Bought the starter set for my sister who knew nothing about skincare. Four products, clear instructions, done. Perfect.
