Saishunkan redefines customer service at Skincare Lounge

Skincare is more than skin deep for Saishunkan Pharmaceutical. Moving beyond traditional counter-to-customer transactions, the company continuously takes customer care to a higher level.

One of Saishunkan's latest endeavours to bring its skincare expertise to Asia is the Hong Kong Skincare Lounge. Rather than focusing on retail activities, the lounge emphasises product trials and consultations. Customers are treated to the same quality service Saishunkan is known for in Japan. As the face of the company's telemarketing service, the lounge also gives customers a chance to personally meet skincare advisers.

Telemarketing, which the company has implemented in Hong Kong, is a key factor in Saishunkan's success. Though relatively new to the local market, Saishunkan uses telemarketing alongside its online platform to introduce new customers to the company's skincare line, Domohorn Wrinkle.

The eight-product skincare line, carefully selected for the local market, contains natural ingredients for treating wrinkles and spots associated with ageing. The line includes Oil-in-Gel Remover, Silky Cream Foam, Relieving Foam Mask, Intense Hydrator, Vital White Essence, Cream20, Milky Veil Lotion and UV Dress Cream.

These products are constantly improved based on customer feedback and research and development. "We focus on enhancing the healing properties of our eight products instead of making a lot of products for profit," says president Masaaki Nishikawa.

Believing in "healthy skin for a healthy body", the company draws on its 80 years of experience in manufacturing products based on traditional Chinese herbal medicine for the Japanese market.
