PROYA's "Infinite Space" Delivers the Idea of Scientific Skincare
PROYA's "Infinite Space" aims to present the exploration process of scientific formulation to consumers. Through interactive segments such as the "Scientific Formula" ferris wheel, the "Shield Defense Sunscreen" targeted sniper campaign, the "Star Products" parade, and the "Infinite Space" scientific formula generator, consumers can gain insights into PROYA's scientific formulations and feel its technology and product strength.

A person in charge of PROYA noted that, in recent years, consumers have become increasingly attentive to the product ingredients, efficacy and experience, hoping to find suitable products through more scientific methods. In response to such demand, as an advocate for "scientific formulations" in skincare, PROYA has upgraded its brand concept of "Technology Strength". By starting from promoting scientific skincare principles and offering lifestyle-oriented content and immersive experience, PROYA helps consumers build a more comprehensive scientific skincare system.
During the festival, experts from PROYA's R&D Innovation Center shared scientific skincare knowledge and provided comprehensive explanations on skin aging mechanisms, causes, and solutions. Moreover, experienced skincare consultants from PROYA introduced the technology in products.
