  • Modern Molecules introduces medical-grade skincare technology and the, revolutionary REGENEXâ„¢ Renewal Serum
  • Using a technology originally developed to regenerate burned skin, the REGENEXâ„¢ complex is harnessed for the first time to regenerate aged skin back to youth.
  • SINGAPORE, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Modern Molecules, in partnership with leading dermatologists from Seoul, Korea is proud to announce the global launch of its revolutionary anti-ageing solution: REGENEXâ„¢ Renewal Serum. Harnessing the power of medical-grade technology originally developed to regenerate and heal burns, this serum introduces a new category of medical cosmetics where healthcare innovation meets skincare aesthetics. Clinically proven to significantly outperform retinol, the REGENEXâ„¢ Renewal Serum redefines anti-ageing skincare aesthetics with its medical-grade, patent-pending REGENEXâ„¢ complex.

    In clinical studies conducted by the Korean Skin Research Centre, REGENEX™ Renewal Serum demonstrated remarkable results, surpassing retinol by 7.2 times in wrinkle reduction and 17 times in diminishing pigmentation after just 8 weeks of use. The serum's cutting-edge formulation integrades exosomes, spicules, and peptides—ingredients originally used to regenerate burnt skin, these medical technologies are now repurposed to tackle signs of ageing. REGENEX™ Renewal Serum is the first product from Modern Molecules to utilise healthcare-derived technology in skincare.

    REGENEXâ„¢: Backed by an Independent study from the Korean Skin Centre for unparalleled anti-ageing performance

    REGENEXâ„¢ complex was discovered by the Modern Molecules research team, led by Dr Baek Ji Hwoon. Based in Seoul, Korea, the team boasts over 100 years of combined research experience and has published more than 200 peer-reviewed studies.

    The REGENEXâ„¢ complex is clinically-proven to achieve:

    • 7.2x better wrinkle reduction than retinol
    • 17x better reduction in pigmentation and age spots
    • Visible delay in ageing by an average of 5.5 years after 8 weeks of daily use
    • 65% increase in collagen production within 2 weeks
    • 33% reduction in wrinkles within the first 2 weeks

    Other acclaimed skincare experts on the discovery panel include Australia-based dermatology skin influencer Dr Davin Lim (@drdavinlim) who has over 900k followers on both Instagram and YouTube, LinkedIn Beauty Top Voice cosmetic scientist Manessa Lormejuste and Singapore aesthetic doctor Dr Vicki Leong.

    The complex combines three core technologies that work in tandem to reverse the effects of ageing:

    • Exosomes: These powerful nanoparticles signal skin cells to regenerate and initiate the cell renewal process, boosting collagen production for plumper, more youthful skin.
    • Spicules: Natural liquid microneedles create microchannels in the skin, allowing exosomes to penetrate deeper. Unlike most skincare products that remain on the surface, this technology regenerates skin from within, ensuring long-term results.
    • Peptide Complex: Clinically proven wrinkle-reversal peptides are small proteins that smooth wrinkles and enhance skin elasticity, leading to younger, healthier-looking skin.

    Dr. Baek, the Seoul-based dermatologist who led the development of the REGENEXâ„¢ technology, said: "REGENEXâ„¢ Renewal Serum represents a significant advancement in anti-ageing and delivers performance that has shown statistically significant superior efficacy versus retinol. It is an innovation that has been used to treat burn wounds with powerful regenerative properties. Harnessing this technology once used to regenerate burnt skin, we applied it to aged skin and were amazed to discover that it can trigger skin cell regeneration from deep within, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and pigmentation while improving overall skin texture."

    Jo T, 33, a clinical trial participant, shared her experience: "As someone who's tried many anti-ageing products with little success, I was hesitant at first. Retinol has always irritated my skin, so I didn't expect much. But the REGENEX™ Renewal Serum surprised me right away. It felt light, absorbed quickly, and didn't leave my skin feeling greasy. Within two weeks, I started noticing my skin was changing. My skin felt firmer, and after eight weeks, the fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes and mouth had visibly reduced. What stood out most was how much smoother and younger my skin looked overall—like it had turned back the clock. I can confidently say this serum has made a huge difference in my routine, and I'll definitely be continuing with it."

    Setting a New Standard in Anti-Ageing Technology 

    REGENEXâ„¢ Renewal Serum is the result of decades of research and innovation from Modern Molecules' team of renowned dermatologists. More than just a skincare product, this serum represents a ground-breaking advancement in medical cosmetics, bringing healthcare technology originally developed to help burn victims regenerate new skin into the consumer skincare market. Designed to rejuvenate skin from the inside out, it effectively boosts collagen production, strengthens the skin barrier, and improves elasticity, providing visible, long-term anti-ageing results.

    In five independent clinical studies, REGENEXâ„¢ Renewal Serum was shown to significantly outperform traditional retinol treatments. During a user trial involving 25 participants aged 30-52, all with varying degrees of visible ageing, key findings included:

    • 89% agreed that REGENEXâ„¢ was more effective than retinol
    • 97% observed firmer, plumper skin
    • 93% saw a more youthful complexion
    • 97% noted improvements in skin tone and texture
    • 80% witnessed a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
    • 73% experienced reduced pigmentation and age spots.

Hosted by Thailand's Ministry of Energy, Gastech 2026 will unite global ministers, energy executives, and technology leaders in Bangkok to advance the investments, partnerships, and infrastructure projects needed to meet rising energy demand across emerging and established markets: dmg events

BANGKOK, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In just three days, the world's energy leaders will arrive in Bangkok for Gastech 2026, as government ministers, industry CEOs, investors and technology giants come together to address one of the defining opportunities of our time: how to deliver the energy required to power economic growth, industrial development and rising living standards around the world.

From 14-17 September, the event will bring the entire energy industry to Asia, where rapid industrialisation, urbanisation and AI expansion have transformed the region's emerging markets into economic powerhouses. As emerging economies continue to drive more than 80% of global energy demand growth, the investments and partnerships formed at Gastech will help shape how that demand is met.

With each new factory, data centre and transport link adding to Asia's expanding consumption, Gastech 2026 will align global capital, supply and infrastructure to sustain the industrial and digital growth unlocking new opportunities for billions across the region.

Through a unique convergence of global policymakers, regulators, energy producers, infrastructure and technology providers, investors, traders and utilities, Gastech 2026 will advance a coordinated and pragmatic response to the world's mounting energy needs, leveraging every resource and solution available to ensure emerging markets and established economies have the abundant and reliable energy they need to keep growing with confidence.

This response will take shape through Gastech's Strategic Conference, which will host 19 ministers – including senior representatives from Thailand, Egypt, Nigeria, Singapore, Oman, Libya and the United States – alongside policymakers and leaders from the international institutions that set the rules for global energy trade. Opened by H.E. Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister of Thailand, the conference will span more than 200 sessions, providing a platform for these decision-makers to align on the policies, partnerships, investments and regulatory frameworks needed to support the next phase of global growth.

The conference's flagship ministerial sessions will include "The energy reset: Who controls power in the new global order?", which unites government leaders from Africa, Asia and the Middle East to discuss and compare national strategies for building more resilient and diversified energy systems, as well as "Demand surge, system strain: Asia's energy stress test", which offers an inside look at how governments across the region are taking immediate action to secure reliable power through reform, regional integration, and scalable gas and LNG infrastructure.

Private sector leaders will also take centre stage, as Gastech 2026 will convene the executives responsible for producing, supplying, financing, transporting, trading and delivering the world's energy. Through dedicated leadership sessions, the CEOs of leading global energy companies will advance the commercial partnerships, investment commitments and infrastructure projects required to ensure energy systems keep pace with rising demand, technological transformation and evolving security priorities.

Confirmed C-suite speakers include Dr Narin Phoawanich, Governor, EGAT; Dr Kongkrapan Intarajang, CEO & President, PTT; Tengku Muhammad Taufik, President & Group CEO, PETRONAS; Takayuki Ueda, President & CEO, INPEX; Liz Westcott, MD & CEO, Woodside Energy; Horacio Marín, President & CEO, YPF; Bayo Ojulari, GCEO, NNPC; Freeman Shaheen, President, Chevron Global Gas; Peter Clarke, Senior Vice President - LNG, ExxonMobil Upstream; Cederic Cremers, President - Integrated Gas, Shell; Yukio Kani, Global CEO & Chair, JERA; Mike Sabel, CEO, Executive Co-Chairman & Founder, Venture Global; Lorenzo Simonelli, Chairman, President & CEO, Baker Hughes; and Richard Holtum, CEO, Trafigura.

Beyond the conference, Gastech's exhibition will translate strategic discussions into commercial outcomes, bringing together international suppliers, buyers, utilities, developers, investors, and technology providers from across the global value chain. The exhibition will be anchored by co-hosts Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Shell, supported by Thailand's National Consortium Partners EGAT, PTT, and Gulf, alongside National Consortium Supporters RATCH and EGCO, highlighting the strong collaboration between government and global industry leaders.

Connecting the entire industry from demand to delivery, the show floor will enable participants to advance offtake discussions, terminal and grid projects, and infrastructure financing. Energy producers including ADNOC, XRG, Cheniere, Venture Global, and Woodside Energy will meet buyers and utilities such as KOGAS, GAIL, SEFE, Uniper, and ENGIE, alongside trading houses Vitol and Trafigura. With engineering and technology providers including Bechtel, Technip Energies, Samsung Heavy Industries, Baker Hughes, Siemens Energy, and Honeywell showcasing deployment-ready solutions, the exhibition will build on the approximately US $60 billion in commercial agreements and investments facilitated at Gastech 2025.

Christopher Hudson, President of dmg events, said: "The world needs more energy, delivered more reliably, to more people and more sustainably. The scale of what needs to be built is extraordinary, but so too is the opportunity. As governments, industry and investors come together in Bangkok, Gastech provides the platform where partnerships are formed, policy is shaped and the investments needed to support long-term growth can move forward."

In just three days, Gastech will reaffirm its role as the leading meeting place for the entire industry to address the world's mounting energy needs, against the backdrop of Asia's rapidly rising demand. With voices from every sector and region represented, the event will once again shape the global agenda for energy security, resilience, and long-term economic growth.
