Tohtonku Unveils SilkPro: A New Era of Skincare for Scalp, exclusively at Watsons Malaysia
Tohtonku today proudly launched SilkPro, its latest innovation that brings the science of skincare to haircare, redefining how Malaysians care for their scalp and hair.
The launch event, held at Grotto, Confetti KL, was graced by distinguished guests, media representatives, and partners from Watsons Malaysia, including Mr. Danny Hoh, Chief Operating Officer of Watsons Malaysia. The afternoon featured an inspiring keynote by Ms. Winnie Pok, General Manager (Commercial), Tohtonku Sdn Bhd, followed by a lively panel discussion with Chrystina Ng, Radio Announcer, and Carrie Lee, Founder of Miss Cosmo World Malaysia.
Skincare Meets Haircare: The Concept of Skinification
With growing consumer awareness that many hair issues originate from the scalp, SilkPro was born from the idea of “Skincare for Scalp”. The brand taps into the rising skinification trend, where consumers extend the same level of care they give their skin to their scalp.
“Just as glowing skin begins with a healthy foundation, beautiful hair begins with a healthy scalp. If serums, moisturisers, and actives can transform skin, why not bring that same science and care to the scalp? SilkPro is the answer to that question,” shared Ms. Winnie Pok, General Manager (Commercial) of Tohtonku.
Powered by Skincare Actives & Micellar Technology
SilkPro shampoos are formulated with skincare-grade active ingredients such as Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Salicylic Acid, and Amino Acids. Each variant targets specific scalp concerns - from hair fall prevention and dandruff control to hydration and damage repair.
Paired with Micellar Technology, SilkPro delivers a deep yet gentle cleanse by lifting away impurities and pollutants without stripping natural oils. This makes the range suitable for daily use, supporting both scalp health and long-term hair vitality.
Master Personalization - For Every You, In Every Lifestyle
SilkPro was designed with real people in mind:
“Every formula is crafted to meet these very real needs, because personalization is the key to building trust and loyalty. That’s why we say: Healthy Scalp, Confident You.”
Exclusively at Watsons Malaysia
SilkPro will be available exclusively at Watsons Malaysia, across its 311 outlets nationwide. With premium, eye-level display placement, consumers can easily discover the brand’s innovative offerings in-store.
Expressing gratitude, Ms. Winnie Pok noted: “Watsons has been a long-standing partner who shares our vision of bringing innovative, science-backed solutions closer to consumers. With their support, we are setting a new standard in haircare, making scalp wellness an integral part of every beauty routine.”

From Startup to Market Leader: Pott Glasses Charts Future Growth
After 10 Years in Malaysia’s Eyewear Industry
According to Statista, revenue in Malaysia’s eyewear market is projected to reach US$558.88 million by 2025, supported by the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.25%.
Key drivers of this growth include rising screen exposure, heightened awareness of eye health, and a pronounced shift towards eyewear that balances fashion with functionality.
As a result, the demand for stylish, functional, and personalised eyewear has surged, fundamentally transforming the Malaysian optical industry.
Amid this evolving landscape, Pott Glasses has emerged as a market leader, reimagining the eyewear experience through a blend of optical expertise, fashion-forward design, and personalisation.
Established in 2015 by childhood best friends Aw Tai Hau and Eden Hoong from Kelantan, the home-grown brand has built a distinguished reputation nationwide for its curated, high-quality eyewear and personalised styling services designed to meet the unique preferences of every individual.
Tailored Glasses Frames for Asian Style Fit
From humble beginnings at pop-up booths, Pott Glasses has grown into a well-recognised name in Malaysia, now with nine branches established nationwide.
A defining strength of the brand lies in its focus on crafting eyewear designed specifically for Asian facial structures. In contrast to mass-market frames tailored primarily for Western features, Pott Glasses addresses prevalent fitting issues such as lower nose bridges and wider cheekbones, ensuring a more comfortable and secure fit for glasses wearers.
“At Pott Glasses, our mission has always been to provide Malaysians with eyewear that goes beyond function; it’s about personalisation, style, and eye health. That is why we have designed an extensive collection of over 800 frame styles, ensuring that each customer can find something that truly reflects their individuality.
Through this commitment, we have built Pott Glasses into a trusted name in Malaysia’s personalised eyewear boutique industry,” said Eden Hoong, Co-founder of Pott Glasses.
Revolutionising the Eyewear Industry with a Personalised Approach
Pott Glasses’ unique and personalised services include:
Recognised and Acclaimed within Malaysia’s Fashion Industry
Pott Glasses has earned recognition from thousands of Malaysians, as evidenced by their strong social media following and active engagement across platforms.
Recently, the brand’s runway credentials continued at Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2025, where Pott Glasses collaborated with local high-fashion label BEHATI, creating titanium sunglasses intricately laser-cut with motifs inspired by Malay and Peranakan antique jewellery, including twin Keris blades at the temples.
These striking pieces perfectly complement BEHATI’s culturally rich and contemporary designs, underscoring Pott Glasses’ fusion of heritage and high fashion.
Celebrating a Decade of Eyewear Excellence
To celebrate their 10th year in the eyewear industry, Pott Glasses is hosting its immersive “Take A Leap of Frame” pop-up at The Five @ KPD, Kuala Lumpur, from the 26th of September to the 5th of October 2025, commemorating the brand’s origin story and bold strategic pivots over the last ten years.
The “Take A Leap of Frame” pop-up will feature several standout attractions:
“Find your Pott Type” Quiz |
An interactive game designed to help individuals discover their unique ‘Pott Type’ and the eyewear styles that suit them best, sparking styling conversations and inspiring fashion choices. |
|
“Collection ‘X’ Gallery” Immersive Zones |
This area features the new Pott Sunnies Collection ‘X’, with several photo zones and a striking centrepiece. |
“10 Years of Pott” Exhibition |
A physical walkthrough, taking visitors on a journey through the brand’s decade-long story, highlighting key milestones and memories. |
Colour Analysis Station |
This station is designed to help guests discover the shades and tones that best complement their natural features, with guidance from trained stylists. |
Co-founder Aw Tai Hau commented, “This pop-up was not just a celebration of our 10-year journey, but a demonstration of how Pott Glasses has redefined personalised eyewear in Malaysia. From a humble startup, we have grown into a leading brand, recording a 73% (CAGR) from 2021 to 2024, which reflects our strategic growth and strong market demand.”
Looking ahead, Pott Glasses is expanding into the presbyopia market, a condition of age-related farsightedness that typically affects individuals above 40. The launch of Multifocal Specialist by Pott Glasses aims to meet the growing demand for personalised eyecare solutions.
These initiatives are designed to strengthen the company’s market position, unlock new revenue streams, and solidify its standing as a key player in Malaysia’s personalised eyewear industry.
