Designated zones include a premium beauty zone, featuring latest trending exclusive brands, advanced skin analyzer and dermatologist-recommended products.

A sustainable choices zone offers a refill station for selected Naturals by Watsons products, along with a wide array of clean beauty products to empower customers in living sustainably.

The store has also introduced more self-checkout counters and click & collect services, allowing customers to order online and swiftly pick up their purchases in-store within 30 minutes.
