Indeed Labs is best known for developing simple skincare products that feature star ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and coenzyme Q10.
The brand finally enters Aisa's lucrative skincare market through its partnership with Mannings, a leading pharmacy chain in Hong Kong. The skincare products will be available in 180 brick-and-mortar outlets. The company opted for a physical store to build brand awareness in the region, despite the heavy shift towards digital commerce over the last year and a half. In addition, the company is also expanding across Asia through its online store.
