The next beauty conversation isn't about skin, it's about your scalp

Target Pro by Watsons is proof that consumers are becoming more discerning, as the brand celebrates its 10th anniversary. The positive consumer response and influencer reviews of its consumer-focused anniversary activations and promotions demonstrate that people increasingly value science-backed, targeted solutions developed through Japanese innovation.  The brand's continued success inspires the development of new products that address the evolving needs of its consumers. In line with its anniversary celebration, Target Pro by Watsons introduces Femtech Lab, a breakthrough hair care line that puts the spotlight on the scalp, recognizing that it needs as much care as the face and the rest of the body. Femtech Lab believes that the secret to healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp.  Femtech Lab addresses women's health and beauty needs through AI-powered screening technology and laboratory expertise. Its advanced scalp care solutions cater to four scalp types: dry, oily, thinning-prone and sensitive.  Femtech Lab offers products designed to address how changing needs and everyday factors, from hormonal shifts to environmental conditions, influence scalp and hair health. The brand also targets specific concerns, including stress-induced hair problems and postpartum hair loss. Its formulations aim to simplify scalp and hair care routines while providing targeted solutions.  Like Target Pro by Watsons, Femtech Lab delivers reliable solutions developed through scientific and dermatological studies by Japanese experts.  Femtech Lab offers four flagship products designed to care for hair from scalp to tip: Anti-Hair Fall Root Balance Scalp Serum (P1,199), Anti-Hair Fall Root Renew Scalp Serum (P1,199), Anti-Hair Fall & Clarifying Shampoo (P899), and Anti-Hair Breakage & Shining Conditioner (P899).  The Anti-Hair Fall Root Balance Scalp Serum is clinically proven to reduce hair fall and scalp sebum while improving hair density in four weeks. It features the trademarked ingredients ScalpZen and Prunizen, which help address scalp concerns and promote stronger, fuller and thicker-looking hair.  For those looking to promote hair growth and address graying hair, the Anti-Hair Fall Root Renew Scalp Serum offers another targeted solution. Formulated with Baicapil and Kerascalp, it promises visible results after 12 weeks of consistent use.  Reset your scalp with the Anti-Hair Fall & Clarifying Shampoo, which features a clarifying and rebalancing formula. It contains salicylic acid, panthenol and niacinamide to help provide long-lasting oil control and improve hair volume.  The Anti-Hair Breakage & Shining Conditioner complements the shampoo by helping strengthen and protect hair. It enhances scalp comfort while improving hair condition from root to tip. The formula also helps increase moisture, smoothness and shine.  As with Target Pro by Watsons, consumers can turn to Femtech Lab for targeted and effective hair and scalp care. Its approach highlights the value of Japanese science-led expertise, focusing not only on surface-level aesthetics but also on formulations designed to nourish the scalp and hair.  Femtech Lab represents the natural evolution of Target Pro by Watsons' mission to provide comprehensive skin and beauty care, recognizing that targeted solutions go beyond the face. It also reflects the brand's continued evolution and commitment to addressing women's changing beauty and wellness needs through targeted, science-led innovation.  Discover Target Pro by Watsons' Femtech Lab products, available at Watsons branches nationwide and through the Watsons app. Learn more about incorporating targeted scalp and hair care into your routine with Target Pro by Watsons and Femtech Lab.

How corn is being elevated in a-maize-ing creations at Hong Kong restaurants and bars

The hottest ingredient of 2026? It is not a new breed of truffle, chocolate-fed Wagyu, nor caviar on pearl spoons. Instead, this ingredient is far from new, dating back about 9,000 years: corn. Across New York, London and Japan, sweetcorn pastries, pastas and pizzas have captured the imagination of chefs, content creators and corn enthusiasts. In Hong Kong, the trend is no different, with a corn-focused eatery opening in the city’s Central neighbourhood and everything from corn shabu-shabu...

Cancer at 32, laid off at 50. How a Singaporean rebuilt his life after major setbacks

Edgar Tang was 32 and on holiday in London when a call from his doctor changed his life. He was diagnosed with stage three Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. His only symptom had been a swollen lymph node on the left side of his neck, something he had been inclined to ignore. The diagnosis left him contemplating his mortality, his future and how he would care for his parents. He recalls walking from Covent Garden towards the Tate Modern art gallery, crossing the Millennium...
