Watsons Unveils Leading Beauty & Wellness Destination at Bugis Junction

Watsons, the Health & Beauty Retailer, today unveils its leading Beauty & Wellness destination at Bugis Junction, part of a nationwide retail transformation redefining how Singaporeans experience beauty, health, and wellness. More than a store revamp, it signals a new era of retail, introducing a vibrant concept with carefully curated product ranges across trending beauty categories, wellness essentials, and at-home aesthetic solutions.

As Singapore’s Most Loved Health & Beauty Retailer, Watsons continues to put customers at the heart of its transformation journey. Each store is designed based on consumer insights, drawing on data and on-the-ground observations to reflect the unique lifestyles and behaviours of its surrounding shoppers.

Building on this vision, the Bugis Junction store captures the energy of its youthful, trend-driven community, turning retail into a playful journey. Spanning more than 3,700 square feet, the store features the immersive BeautyVerse, Beauty Is You and Aesthetic Beauty zones, alongside the GNC store-within-store concept, sustainability initiatives, and Singapore’s first retail pharmacy eConsultation, creating a space that sparks discovery and inspires exploration at every corner.

Beyond Bugis Junction, Watsons’ transformation extends across Singapore, with each outlet tailored to the needs of its surrounding community. Situated near health and specialist centres, the Watsons Health Store at Paragon, recognisable by its distinctive signage, offers specialised zones like the Gut Health Bay and a dedicated Pharmacy Suite. Services such as the popular flu vaccination, administered by Watsons’ expert pharmacy team, reinforce its status as a trusted wellness destination.

At Punggol Coast, known for its growing young families and active community, the store focuses on everyday wellness essentials and introduces Watsons’ first full self-checkout concept for greater convenience. Meanwhile, the Raffles Place Station Store caters to busy professionals with quick, grab-and-go shopping options.

Collectively, these experiences demonstrate how Watsons is redefining retail, blending convenience, personalisation, and lifestyle relevance to meet the evolving needs of modern consumers.

At the heart of the revamp is the BeautyVerse zone, a new dedicated area that spotlights the latest C-, K-, and J-beauty brands, refreshed bi-monthly. The rotation keeps the experience dynamic, introducing cult favourites and rising names in skincare and makeup. Beauty enthusiasts can explore Wellage, Ilso, Beauty of Joseon, Elixir, DR. ALVA, Rellet, and KOMFYMED.

ALVA merges dermatological science with cutting-edge biotechnology in hydrating ampoules, barrier repair serums, and cleansers, while Rellet draws on oceanic minerals to craft lightweight essence sprays and brightening masks for daily hydration and natural radiance. KOMFYMED, established in 2011, uses recombinant collagen biotechnology to restore the skin barrier and enhance resilience for sensitive, acne-prone, and dermatitis-prone skin.

Also featured is Winona, China’s first dermatologist-validated skincare brand for sensitive skin. Its evidence-based formulations, made from Yunnan’s natural ingredients and backed by clinical trials and over 150 industry awards, include hero products like the Sensitiveness Relieving Moisturizing Tolerance-Extreme Cream and Camellia-Lucent Spot-Correcting Essence, exemplifying Winona’s mission to combine science and nature for gentle, effective results.

Aesthetic Beauty Zone

 

Watsons will also be unveiling its all-new Aesthetic Beauty zone, a curated space dedicated to at-home aesthetic treatments and post-treatment care solutions. This new zone brings together brands such as Fractional CC, Meditheraphy, Rejuran, and AHC, which merge science, technology, and innovation to deliver visible results and a premium beauty experience beyond the conventional skincare routine.

Guided by two distinct philosophies, Refine. Enhance. Radiate.” for aesthetic beauty treatments, and Recover. Heal. Renew.” for post-treatment care solutions,  the Aesthetic Beauty Zone empowers customers to personalise their skincare journey with confidence and precision.

Among the highlights is Fractional CC, a breakthrough Japanese derma-skincare brand launched in 2024 that bridges the gap between aesthetic science and home beauty care. Renowned for its “beauty needle” delivery system, Fractional CC combines micro-needling technology with potent serum actives, allowing ingredients to penetrate deeply through the stratum corneum for enhanced efficacy. This unique synergy mimics in-clinic treatments, providing users with a professional-grade skincare experience in the comfort of their own homes.

Complementing this is Meditherapy, a leading aesthetic brand that epitomises the fusion of science and nature. Guided by the philosophy of “Timeless Beauty, Perfected by Science and Nature,” Meditherapy’s mission is to empower skin to remain radiant, healthy, and youthful through cutting-edge formulations and advanced beauty devices. Each product reflects Meditherapy’s belief that true beauty transcends time, offering performance-driven results that customers can see and feel.

Together with Rejuran and AHC, these brands anchor Watsons’ Aesthetic Beauty Zone, giving customers the tools to recreate professional-level skincare rituals at home. From technology-driven serums and restorative treatments to rejuvenating devices and personalised post-care recommendations, the zone redefines self-care, where beauty innovation meets everyday accessibility.

GNC Store-within-Store (SWS)

Additionally, the new Bugis Junction store will introduce a dedicated GNC store-within-store (SWS), strengthening Watsons’ strategic collaboration with GNC and highlighting sports nutrition and weight management.
