This isn’t your average beauty brand—uniting gut and skin health, Dr. Ora’s natural, vegan and ethical supplements are clinically proven to improve your skin from within.
“Dr. Ora speaks to the free-spirited, the enthusiastic, and the unapologetic,” says founder Wynnie Tham. First launched in 2018, Dr. Ora derives its name from the Japanese word for “glow”, to stand for “glowing from within”. The idea behind the brand was to unite gut and skin health, and as a cosmetic science graduate, Tham had exactly the skill set and know-how to pull it off. Thus the concept of skin-caring supplements was born.
In an industry where transparency and ethics are a growing priority for consumers, Dr. Ora pledges to fill a gap in the market. Tham’s mission to create 100 percent natural, ethical and clinically proven supplement solutions is set to keep evolving. But, as it stands, the key foundations are already laid in place. Putting both Dr. Ora’s customers and contractors first, the production of the supplements has been designed to be as ethically conscious as possible, with a traceable supply chain and excipient- and filler-free formulations made from high-quality vegan and halal-certified ingredients.
This approach to wellness and beauty has earned the brand several awards, and it all comes down to its supplement systems. Each supplement has been meticulously designed to tackle a certain issue, whether it’s skin laxity, dullness, or metabolism, making it really easy for you to curate your own routine.
“We believe that taking care of your skin should be simple and let you live life to the fullest, which is why we’re here,” Tham explains. “Think of it this way: there’s nothing quite like having someone have your back, and Dr. Ora pledges to be the best friend that nurtures, supports and understands your every skin need.”
Essentially, Dr. Ora is your one-stop shop for better skin from within—and we’ve got the low down on the must-buys. Ahead, find BURO’s picks:
Crystal Luxe Collagen 10 sachets, RM127.90
Awarded with the prestigious Monde Selection Gold Award in 2021, this liquid collagen drink uses eight top-quality 100 percent natural ingredients (including hydrolysed, Japan-patented Type I collagen) to increase collagen synthesis and repair damaged collagen fibres. It has been proven to boost the skin’s elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles effectively.
Aura White Ultra 15 sachets, RM92.90
This best-selling plant-based concoction is made to brighten your skin and boost radiance. Made for daily use, it harnesses the power of Japanese actives like L-Gluthathione, crystal tomato extract, grape seed extract, artichoke extract and more to tackle pigmentation, dark spots and acne scarring from within. Plus, the product also claims to supplement your suncare routine, helping to prevent the formation of melanin and, in theory, mitigating the harmful effects of UV radiation.
Lactolean 15 sachets, RM79.90
Pure wholefood vitamins and fibre extracted from a nourishing blend of 66 green and red plants power this supplement. Featuring wakame, Moro blood orange, digestive enzymes and a potent concoction of probiotics and prebiotics, Lactolean is designed to work as a weight management supplement. Its ingredients have been hand-picked to help burn calories, reduce subcutaneous and visceral fat, and improve gut health—and all without the use of laxatives, fillers or preservatives.
Block It! 15 Sachets, RM74.90
This diabetic-friendly carb-blocking supplement has been formulated based on the International Diabetes Guideline and contains five patented ingredients clinically proven to reduce calorie absorption and combat lipogenesis. Essentially, it works on the pancreas to prevent the release of fat and carbohydrate-digesting enzymes such as lipase and amylase, or by physically binding to the enzymes after release. This helps to reduce cravings and prevent food comas. In fact, it has also been endorsed by Mandy Wong, the Hong Kong-based nutritionist, wellness author and National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer.
“When it comes to beauty supplements, it’s important to look for ingredients that have been well researched and responsibly sourced,” Wong asserts. “White tomato extract, for example, has been clinically proven to reduce skin pigmentation while Astaxanthin red algae extract has been shown to improve skin elasticity and texture as well as reduce wrinkles and age spot size in four to eight weeks.”
