Foreo-owned anti-ageing brand FAQ has announced a partnership with retailer Sephora China, in a tie-up which will see the brand listed across 104 Sephora stores in the country from this week.

The FAQ expansion across China was launched by film and television actress Xuan Dong at the Sephora Xiangyang flagship store on West Nanjing Road, Shanghai.

She shared her secrets to an excellent skincare routine involving the brand and discussed with event guests the different functions and usages of the FAQ102 through interactive games.

The FAQ 102 Pink Ruby will be available through Sephora China. FAQ said the Swiss-designed device “guarantees to turn back the clock on ageing issues such as crow’s feet, sagging skin, and unsatisfactory jawlines, helping you become the best version of yourself”.

FAQ enables users to tailor their preferred treatments using the range, offering options such as radiofrequency (Power-RF), T-Sonic pulsations, LED lights, and EMS, which can all be chosen via connecting to its app. The app will then sync the treatment to the device, so that whenever the device is turned on manually in the future, it will follow the routine specified by the user.

Foreo Global Travel Retail Director Gary Leong said: “Launching such a young brand in such a globally recognised retailer is testament to the strength of the product and how much promise it shows for future growth.”
