As one of today’s promising stars of his generation, Donny Pangilinan is living a busy schedule. Aside from project shoots, tapings, and fan meet events, Donny has an athletic lifestyle. He loves different sports, such as basketball, running, and biking. With all of these physical activities in various weather conditions, the 25-year-old actor openly admitted that it causes acne problems that somehow affect his self-esteem.

“Because I’m also taking protein shake, mas lumalabas [yung acne], sometimes taping ends up late like 3 a.m.. There are times na lumalabas yung pimples kasi hindi naman maiiwasan yun, but I really try to do my best to take care of my skin,” he tells Manila Bulletin Lifestyle during the last of QuickFX limited-edition pimple eraser essentials kit, with him as the brand ambassador last Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2023. “There are times that it affects my self-esteem especially, if I know that I’m gonna have to see a lot of people.”

Each limited-edition kit contains a 30ml bottle of recovery concentrate that lightens and fades acne marks and dark spots, cream for eliminating breakouts, spot patch to flatten and reduce big pimples, and body acne spray for large areas that need attention like the back. Priced at P899, each kit comes in handy with a travel pouch.

The “Can’t Buy Me Love” actor then shared that he deals with pimples and acne with a positive mindset and by finding the right products. “That’s part of life, and you have to accept that, that happens,” he says. “But you should also be able to try other products that will help you with that like QuickFX.”

Some of his highly recommended products from the brand are the acne spray, pimple patch, and sunscreen. Donny also added that men shouldn’t shy away from using skincare products as part of a healthy lifestyle and taking good care of themselves.

“Men also take care of their skin and there’s nothing wrong with that, just knowing that your skin is healthy and you’re ready to take on the day, especially if it’s hot or the environment is not so clean,” he says. “I think we should break that stereotype na girls lang yung dapat na mag-skincare. Everyone should take care of their skin and it’s very healthy as well.”

QUICKFX Pimple Eraser products are exclusively available at all Watsons stores nationwide and Watsons Online.
