In 2011, Hyphens, a leading specialty pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare group based in Singapore, developed Ceradan, a moisturizer that provided optimum skin barrier repair by emulating the skinโ€™s natural lipid ratio.

Fast forward to 2019, it launched Ceradan Advanced, an improved version of the moisturizer that sustainably lowers the skinโ€™s pH in eczema-prone skin, which is now prescribed by doctors in hospitals, pharmacies, and clinics.

In this video, find out how Hyphens Pharma partnered with ASTAR to transform itself from a pharmaceutical distributor to developing its own dermatological products and brands.
