Skintific Malaysia Review : Legit or Overhyped on Tik Tok?

If you’ve been spending any time on TikTok lately, you’ve probably come across a Skintific review—maybe even more than one. Glowing skin, bold claims, and viral clips seem to have launched Skintific Malaysia into the spotlight almost overnight. But is it all just a carefully curated trend, or does the brand actually deliver results?

Curiosity got the better of me. I decided to test a few of their most-hyped products myself over a full month—and here’s the real, no-fluff rundown, from first impressions to 30 days in.

TL;DR: Is Skintific Worth Your Ringgit?

• Skintific Cushion Foundation: Lightweight and breathable, with decent oil control. But the shade range? Could be better.
• Skintific 5X Ceramide Moisturizer: A reliable daily gel for barrier repair—no stickiness, no fuss.
• Skintific MSH Niacinamide Moisturizer: Brightens subtly over time, though dry skin types might find it lacking in hydration.

In short: The results delivered are overall compatible with the price range.

What I Tried from Skintific

To keep things simple but diverse in this review, I picked three of their most talked-about products:

Skintific Cover All Perfect Cushion Foundation

Skintific 5X Ceramide Barrier Repair Moisture Gel

Skintific MSH Niacinamide Brightening Moisture Gel

These were all over TikTok and XiaoHongShu, so it made sense to start there.

First Impressions

Texture & Feel

• Cushion Foundation: Goes on creamy and smooth—no tugging or patchiness. It dries down to a natural, semi-matte finish, which was a win for my combination skin. I liked that it didn’t cling too much to my drier spots around the nose.

Skintific Moisturizer

• 5X Ceramide Moisturizer: This one’s a gel-cream hybrid that absorbs quickly. No sticky residue, no weird film—just that light, moisturized feel you want before bed or under SPF.
• MSH Niacinamide Moisturizer: Cooling and fresh, great for layering. The texture reminds me of a watered-down jelly, in a good way.

Price Point

Considering how polished the packaging looks, I half-expected premium pricing—but nope. The Skintific cushion runs about RM49–RM59, and the moisturizers range between RM45–RM60, depending on sales. It’s cheaper than your typical K-beauty imports yet performs closely.

Shipping & Delivery

I ordered from the official Skintific Malaysia Shopee store. Everything arrived in 4 days, neatly packed with seals intact. No damage, no leaking, no red flags—which, believe me, isn’t always the case with online skincare buys.

Real Pros and Cons

30 Days Later: Here’s What Changed

I used all three products consistently—twice a day in an air-conditioned office and on weekends under hot weather. No skipping, no extra activities. Here’s what changed:

The Skintific cushion genuinely impressed me. It held up through sweat and humidity without sliding off my face. And I didn’t have to blot by lunchtime. That alone makes it a keeper.

The 5X Ceramide Moisturizer became a staple in my night time routine. It’s not one of those products that make you go “wow!” on day one—but around week three, I noticed my skin was just… calmer. Less angry. Less red.

What the Internet Says (and What I Think)

Online, most people rave about the Skintific foundation giving a “filtered” effect. Do I agree? Sort of. It doesn’t blur your pores into oblivion, but it gives a soft-focus finish that looks flattering in both natural and artificial light. That’s more than I can say for some peer products I’ve tried.

The moisturizers get a lot of praise for being “light but effective,” and I think that’s fair. They won’t solve all your skin woes, but they’re solid. Think of them as good, reliable everyday formulas—not overnight miracle workers.

Is Skintific A Trend or Treasure in Malaysia?

So, is Skintific Malaysia just another TikTok skincare trend?

Surprisingly, I do receive recommendations from my friends about their products. The Skintific cushion foundation holds up impressively in heat, doesn’t clog pores, and looks natural even after a long day. The same review has been given by my friends. The Skintific moisturizers deliver subtle, steady improvements—nothing dramatic, but definitely noticeable over time. To conclude, not just another viral product, but a brand that is actually able to earn its spot in your skincare shelf.

Would I repurchase? The ceramide moisturizer, for sure. And I’m keeping the cushion in my daily rotation. If you’re new to the brand, I’d say start with the Skintific 5X Ceramide Moisturizer and see how your skin responds. You might just get why so many people keep restocking.

FAQs

Q: Is Skintific Malaysian or Korean?
Skintific is a Southeast Asian brand that uses Korean-style formulations. It’s tailored for humid weather—so yes, it suits our local skin struggles.

Q: Will the cushion work for oily skin?
I have an oily T-zone and it held up much better than most foundations I’ve used in the similar price range. However if you are looking for an advanced oil-control matte effect, you can consider their Perfect Stay Velvet Matte Cushion instead. 

Q: Is it safe for sensitive skin?
It was for me. No stinging. Still, check the ingredient list if you’re sensitive to niacinamide or silicone derivatives.

Q: Are the products scented?
Lightly, and not in a synthetic or overpowering way. Nothing lingered long enough to bother me.

Q: Is Skintific legit in Malaysia?
Yes, as long as you’re buying from their official Shopee or authorized retailers. There are dupes out there, so double-check.
