Helena Rubinstein opens its first boutique in Malaysia

This luxury brand champions efficacy and the cutting edge, with each product formulated through collaborations with leading scientists and doctors. From Valaze, the first cosmetic cream launched in 1902, to Replasty Age Recovery Night, one of its iconic creams, Helena Rubinstein has long been synonymous with innovation and empowerment. 

Now, the brand has made its way to Malaysia, opening the doors to its first boutique on our shores at The Exchange TRX’s Beauty Galleria. The boutique offers an exceptional shopping experience, as well as exclusive facial services. Ahead of the brand’s launch, its ambassadors have been singing its praises, and among them is one of our own: actress Michelle Yeoh. 

Helena Rubinstein is located at Lot G.83.A at The Exchange TRX, open daily from 10am to 10pm. For facial bookings and consultation appointments, call +603-30074133.
