AUPRES by Shiseido is now available in Malaysia! Featuring AUPRES skincare and makeup together with pricelist!

A while ago I was invited to the launch of AUPRES which is a  new skincare & makeup brand under Shiseido Company. 

AUPRES is not exactly new because it has successfully established itself as one of the top cosmetic brand in China after being launched in 1994 and the brand’s main skincare line was officially revamped in 2008 and Sun Li, China’s small-screen darling was appointed as the ambassafor. After 18 successful years, with more than 900 counters in China, Malaysia is the 2nd country in the world that has AUPRES. Also I was kinda suprise when I was told that AUPRES is not available in Japan even though it's a brand under Shiseido Japan, I wonder why... many in Japan too many brands under Shiseido already!

AUPRES, which means “next to you, close to you” in French upholds its basic philosophy of “High Quality”, “High Service” and “High Image” is an exclusive skincare and makeup brand launched in 1994. AUPRES is created exclusively by ASIANS for Asians, provides all Asian women the prestige option at an affordable price. Using some of the best Japanese skincare technology, the brand consists of skincare ranges to target women with specific skincare needs and a makeup line for enhancing women's natural beauty.

The dainty affair began with an elegant harp performance, followed by a welcome speech by Jamie Ong, Senior General Manager of Shiseido Malaysia Luxury Division. Masayuki Kohchi, Managing Director of Shiseido Malaysia and Raymond Teo, Chief Operating Officer of Parkson Group was then invited on stage to officiate the launch of AUPRES.

AUPRES has 5 skincare ranges all together, namely :- 
  1. Pro Balancing (Hydrating range)
  2. Pureness Bright (Brightening range)
  3. Ultimate White (Whitening range)
  4. Time Lock Solution
  5. Premium 
Besides that AUPRES has special care range featuring AUPRES Aqua Active Sleeping Mask, and Suncare range and AUPRES makeup line.

The price range of AUPRES skincare ranges from RM45- RM275 , which cheapest is AUPRES Pro-Balancing Cleansing Foam at RM45 and most expensive being AUPRES Cell Renewing Cream at RM275, however the price is consider reasonable taking into consideration it is a counter brand under Shiseido Group and it is cheaper by half compare to the Shiseido products.

Below are the details of Aupres skincare range together with the price list

Spotted in AUPRES Parkson Pavilion counter that with purchase of AUPRES Aqua Active Sleeping Mask (RM 95) , one can get the skincare trial set for free and together with a small jar of sleeping mask sample!


I am a big fan of Shiseido skincare but they are a little bit pricey to maintain and I am kinda excited to know AUPRES which are specially formulated by Shiseido Laboratories, Japan which is created exclusively for Asians is now available in Malaysia and price are bit more affordable!

From the event launch, I got to bring home AUPRES Ultimate White Range to try! Review will be up soon after I am done trying them!
