“It was our parents’ personalised skin solutions, which provided immense relief and restored our confidence, that ignited the inspiration to create TiN5. It is not just another skincare brand; it is born out of love and a deep desire to share genuine solutions with our community.”

What makes TiN5 different from other brands?

“Firstly, our unique approach to human stem cell engineering sets us apart. Through our innovative blend of 3GF and peptides, we activate the natural regenerative properties of your cells, supporting skin health and rejuvenation.

“This cutting-edge technique awakens the power of your body’s own cells to promote healthier and more resilient skin.

“Secondly, it’s our ‘Farm2Face’ approach. All our solutions are freshly made in Hong Kong, guaranteeing 60 days of freshness. This Farm2Face concept can be compared to fresh food, where the ingredients and formulations are prepared just before they are needed.

“In contrast, many other skincare brands can be likened to canned food, where products may have been sitting on shelves for an extended period.”
