Toner Wars: How Brands Battled for the Top in Indonesia’s Skincare Boom

0

The Indonesian beauty and personal care market continues its upward trajectory, with the toner and mists segment emerging as a key growth driver. According to Statista, the market grew from $1.31 billion in 2021 to $1.94 billion in 2024—a 48% increase. Skincare, which represents around 30% of this market, has benefited significantly from the self-care boom among Indonesia’s youth. Toners and mists have particularly thrived, with 73% of users aged under 40 and heavily influenced by social media beauty trends.

Toners and Mists Market Overview

Magpie data reveals that in 2024, the toner & mists category held 5.6% of the total beauty category in e-commerce. Market performance soared in Q4 2024 with GMV reaching $39.4 million (+166.22% YoY) and 11.4 million units sold (+159.09% YoY), marking it as the strongest quarter of the year. This growth was driven by year-end promotions and increasing product demand. Despite slight declines in Q1–Q3 compared to prior quarters, the category maintained a consistent year-over-year upward trend.

Shopee Leads the Charge in Online Market Share

Shopee dominated the e-commerce landscape with an 89.33% share of toner & mists sales in 2024, followed distantly by Lazada (6.28%), Tokopedia (4.34%), and Blibli (0.05%).  Shopee’s lead remained steady throughout the year, reinforcing its role as the primary platform for skincare brands seeking scale and visibility.

Brand Dynamics Show Fierce Competition and Shifting Leadership

The top five brands—Skintific, Skin1004, NPure, Wardah, and Avoskin—captured 38.3% of the total market. While Skintific led overall with a 16.1% share, its dominance was challenged mid-year by Skin1004, which overtook the lead in June. Wardah saw strong momentum in Q4, ending the year at 8.1% share. The competitive shifts reflect evolving consumer preferences and the impact of promotional strategies.

Blibli

Cetaphil emerged as a surprise leader, peaking at 72% market share in November due to aggressive promotions. It closed the year at 23.3% share, ahead of Skintific, Laneige, and SK-II.

Top-Selling Products Reinforce Brand Momentum

The category’s best-performing product was Avoskin’s Miraculous Refining Toner, which generated $727K in revenue and sold 73.6K units. Other top products included Skin1004’s Madagascar Centella Toning Toner and Pyunkang Yul’s Essence Toner, reinforcing consumer demand for effective, exfoliating, and soothing skincare solutions.

About the Data

Data was gathered from top e-commerce platforms in Indonesia between January 1 and December 31, 2024. With over 23.1 million products tracked, GMV was estimated using daily product quantity and price tracking.

What is Pingubuy? The Rise of Cross-Border Shopping Agents in the Wake of the China-US Trade War

0

Discover how Pingubuy, a rising cross-border shopping agent, is reshaping international e-commerce amid the China-US trade war. Learn how it works, user experiences, and how it compares to Pingu Exchange.

The ongoing tariff war between the United States and China has reshaped the global economic landscape, giving rise to unforeseen trends and new market players.

As both countries vie for global economic dominance, their clash has opened new paths for international e-commerce, and among the most interesting outcomes is the emergence of platforms like Pingubuy, a Chinese-based purchasing agent service making waves in Southeast Asia and beyond.

This article dives deep into what Pingubuy is, how it works, user experiences, how it compares to other platforms like Pingu Exchange, and what this all means for global consumers and traders in 2025.

What Is Pingubuy?

Pingubuy is an international shopping agent platform that allows users outside China—particularly from Southeast Asia—to purchase products from popular Chinese marketplaces such as Taobao, JD.com, 1688, and Tmall. The platform was launched in 2024 by Borui E-commerce Co., Ltd., with the goal of making Chinese e-commerce accessible to the global market, even when these platforms don’t natively support international transactions.

Pingubuy doesn’t sell products directly. Instead, it acts as a proxy buyer, helping customers overcome common cross-border e-commerce challenges like language barriers, complex logistics, payment method limitations, and lack of international shipping.

How Pingubuy Works: Step-by-Step

  1. Find Your Product: Users search for items on Chinese platforms like Taobao or 1688.
  2. Copy & Paste the Link: The product URL is pasted into Pingubuy’s interface.
  3. Place the Order: Pingubuy translates the product page, calculates prices, and lets the buyer confirm.
  4. First Payment: Users pay for the item and local shipping in China.
  5. Warehouse Processing: The item arrives at Pingubuy’s warehouse, where it’s temporarily stored.
  6. Second Payment: Buyers pay for international shipping and choose shipping options.
  7. Receive Your Package: The consolidated package is delivered to the international address with real-time tracking.

Core Features and Services

Pingubuy offers a comprehensive set of services that cater to international shoppers:

  1. Purchasing Agent: Pingubuy handles the entire ordering process, including communication with sellers and product translation.
  2. Warehousing & Consolidation: Products from multiple orders are held at a Chinese warehouse and consolidated into one shipment, reducing costs.
  3. Basic Quality Check: Each item undergoes a basic inspection to verify quantity and visible condition.
  4. International Shipping: Multiple shipping methods are offered to over 200 countries, with real-time tracking and flexible pricing.
  5. Language & Currency Support: Supports English, Indonesian, and other languages, with payments accepted in various local currencies.
  6. Customer Support: Pingubuy offers live chat, an active Discord community, and a knowledge base of guides and FAQs.
  7. Expert Buy Concierge: For those needing help choosing products or placing bulk orders, Pingubuy offers personalized assistance through “Expert Buy.”

Pingubuy Reviews: What Do Users Say?

  1. Positive Feedback

– Fast International Shipping: Many users report receiving large packages within a week, even across continents.

– Affordability: Pingubuy’s shipping rates and service fees are often praised as lower than competitors.

– User Interface: Clean design, language options, and smooth navigation make the platform beginner-friendly.

– Customer Engagement: A responsive Discord community and support team help users with order issues or advice.

  1. Criticism & Concerns

– Sizing Issues: Some users report inaccurate sizing, especially for footwear and clothing.

– Service Coverage Gaps: Limited availability in certain regions like Canada frustrates some users.

– Trust & Legitimacy Questions: Low trust scores on third-party verification sites raise concerns about transparency.

– No Crypto Payments: Currently, Pingubuy does not support payments via cryptocurrency.

Pingubuy vs. Pingu Exchange: Different Tools for Different Goals

While Pingubuy is focused on cross-border product purchases, Pingu Exchange operates in the crypto and forex trading space. Despite sharing the “Pingu” name, they serve entirely different user bases.

Pingu Exchange and the PENGU Ecosystem

Pingu Exchange, built on the Arbitrum blockchain, is a decentralized, non-custodial platform for trading perpetual contracts in crypto and forex markets.

It supports:

  1. Up to 100× leverage
  2. Web3 wallet integration
  3. Advanced trading tools (limit/market/stop orders)
  4. Real yield for liquidity providers

Its meme coin, PENGU, launched on Solana, has attracted fans from the NFT and DeFi communities, building a tight-knit ecosystem that combines humor, utility, and speculative trading.

Which One Should You Use?

The answer depends on what you’re trying to do:

  1. Use Pingubuy if:

– You want to buy fashion, gadgets, or household goods from Chinese marketplaces.

– You need help overcoming language, shipping, and payment hurdles.

  1. Use Pingu Exchange if:

– You’re a seasoned crypto trader looking for decentralized, high-leverage opportunities.

– You want to stake crypto and earn real yield through fees.

Conclusion

Both Pingubuy and Pingu Exchange are products of a rapidly shifting global economy where decentralized finance, borderless commerce, and tech-savvy consumers are rewriting the rules. While Pingubuy democratizes access to Chinese products, Pingu Exchange pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in decentralized finance.

In the wake of the China-US trade war and the changing digital economy, platforms like these aren’t just alternatives—they represent the future of commerce and trade.

Whether you’re shopping for a panda plushie or trading ETH at 50× leverage, the tools are now in your hands. Choose wisely.

Wonder Collab Studios: A Sound Commitment to Innovation and Excellence

0

Wonder Collab Studios, a full-service audio and music production house located in the heart of Makati, has stayed true to its mission since its inception eight years ago: to provide innovative, cutting-edge services that meet the highest standards while addressing the unique needs of every client.

Success did not come overnight for the once small-scale audio production firm. Wonder saw its humble beginnings operating out of a small studio condo unit in 2017. Its founders envisioned a larger, more equipped office where the team could grow and collaborate more efficiently.

That vision became a reality in December 2019 when Wonder Collab Studios opened its first wing in Ace Building along Rada St. in Makati—just months before the global pandemic hit.

While the pandemic brought temporary challenges, Wonder Collab Studios quickly adapted. They faced a temporary standstill but soon realized they could adjust and push through the lockdown restrictions. Already accustomed to working efficiently with limited space and resources, they leveraged their inherent agility to seamlessly transition to remote work— long before the pandemic made it a necessity.

Adaptability is a lesson that has shaped every aspect of the studio’s journey. Staying ahead of the curve is essential for the studio’s continued success and for delivering the best outcomes for its clients.

Genuine Concern for Clients

At Wonder, the team prides itself on listening attentively to clients, deeply understanding their needs, and articulating those needs into tangible audio solutions. Due to the technical aspects of audio production, clients sometimes find it challenging to fully articulate their requirements, but Wonder’s expertise ensures they get the best possible result, every time. For Wonder, the goal is clear: to offer the best client experience—no exceptions.

Understanding that sound is an integral part of any audio-visual production, Wonder approaches sound production as a storytelling process. And storytelling through sound–telling YOUR story—is what Wonder does best. As Managing Partner and Musical Director Kahlil Refuerzo explains, “We’re not just producing soundtracks or music for the sake of it. There’s always a story, a product, a client to support.”

Every member of Wonder’s team must learn to understand the value of adapting to clients’ needs. Celine Angue, Vice President for Client Relations and Co-Founder, affirms this, saying, “Sound engineers and composers need to be adaptable. They will always find themselves in situations where they have to interpret what the client wants.”

Founder and CEO Jojo Moll adds, “We’re here to produce exceptional soundtracks and provide client service with a genuine concern for the client’s needs.”

Wonder’s roster of clients speaks for itself. The studio has collaborated with some of the country’s leading advertising agencies, conglomerates, and production houses to deliver a series of successful campaigns.

From a trio to a team of 24 talented producers, sound engineers, composers, and client service and administrative staff, Wonder Collab Studios has grown significantly while staying true to its values. The team

is dedicated to its clients’ success, constantly striving for excellence to deliver exceptional results.

A New Frontier

Now in its 8th year, with studios and offices at the penthouse of Ace Building, Wonder Collab Studios offers a full suite of services including audio production for advertising and film, location sound recording, mastering, voice casting and filing, original jingle production.

The studio is now poised to enter a new frontier with the opening of a new wing, Studio 8, dedicated to immersive sound production using state-of-the-art surround sound technology. Wonder Collab Studios is a Dolby Atmos Certified Facility. This will open new doors not just for Wonder but also for its growing clientele–doors that lead to the future of immersive sound production.

Welcome to Wonder!

About Wonder Collab Studios

Wonder Collab Studios is a boutique production house that provides services for audio recording and soundtrack production, music composing for film, jingles and songs, and location sound. The agency also offers other creative services such as copy and lyric writing, production of AVPs, and other audio-visual marketing materials.
