Where science meets glow

Inside Christell Acne Lab

- by Zanita Careem

The hum of Colombo's most glamorous shopping mall was momentarily interrupted by something unexpected; it was not a new boutique launch but a pop up dedicated entirely to one of the commonest, and most misunderstood skin concern- acne.

At one Galle Face Mall, Christell Luxury Wellness unveiled Sri Lanka's first super speciality, Acne Lab in an immersive, interactive pop up experience inviting the public to explore acne prevention through scientific yet personal lens.

As part of its commitment to redefining acne care in Sri Lanka, the Christell Clinic labs offered skin analysis using Sri Lanka's first face scanner, along with customised skincare guidance, expert consultation, product recommendation and interactive sessions aimed at demystifying acne. Each guest could experience a personalised five step pathway to healthier skin: nutritional guidance, detox advice, mental wellbeing support targeted skincare and advanced dermatological treatments. At the heart of the event was the expert panel.

The Acne Lab pop up was more than a brand activation. It was a call to reframe acne as a condition worth serious.
