Media release
Jakarta, Indonesia, December 12, 2019 – DKSH Business Unit Healthcare, a leading partner for healthcare companies seeking to grow their business in Asia, through its Indonesian partner PT Wicaksana Overseas International Tbk., is bringing its well-known therapeutic skincare product, Hiruscar Post Acne, to the Indonesian market. Hiruscar Post Acne, formulated by Medinova, Switzerland, is specifically designed to address acne scars and dark marks.
The Hiruscar Post Acne has a unique formulation that works by smoothing the appearance of acne scars while lightening dark marks, all of which are known to be major concerns among Indonesian consumers with acne-prone skin. Its gel formulation is non-oily, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic as well as alcohol-free and is suitable for all skin types. Targeted to young Indonesian females aged between 17 and 25 years, Hiruscar Post Acne will be sold through both traditional distribution channels and modern pharmacies. The products aim to reach Indonesia's main provinces in Jabodetabek, including Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi, and Surabaya, East Java in the first quarter of 2020, with plans to expand to more cities across Indonesia.
DKSH Smollan Field Marketing (DSFM), the joint venture between DKSH and Smollan, accompanies this exciting launch by supporting the market penetration through offline field marketing efforts. DSFM ensures the products' sales performance across all channels. The collaboration between DKSH, DSFM and PT Wickasana strengthens the long-standing contribution of the three companies to healthcare in Asia.
“Hiruscar Post Acne is brought to Indonesia, as there is an unmet need for over-the-counter products specifically treating acne scars and dark spots. This new product demonstrates DKSH's focus on contributing to the healthcare sector in Indonesia”, said Alex WY Loh, Assistant General Manager, Business Unit Healthcare, DKSH Indonesia.
