As we journey through life's different stages, our skin's needs evolve. This article highlights some of the latest skincare lines available, addressing a range of concerns from texture and hydration to the signs of aging.
Retinology by Revox: Slow down signs of aging
Aging is a natural process, and its effects on our skin – fine lines, wrinkles, and more – are undeniable. While we can't halt time, we can certainly support our skin's health through a balanced lifestyle and dedicated skincare. Retinol, a well-established ingredient, is a powerful ally in this journey.
Revox, a European brand, now offers its Retinology line in the Philippines, featuring a serum, cream, and eye contour gel. If you're new to retinol, remember it increases sun sensitivity. Prioritize daily sunscreen and limit direct sun exposure for optimal results.
Nivea Luminous 630 Antispot: Targeted dark spot correction
Dark spots are a prevalent skin concern, especially for Filipinas, often appearing as early as our mid-twenties. These marks arise from various factors, including sun exposure, aging, hormonal shifts, and acne.
Nivea introduces Luminous 630, a line formulated with Thiamidol, a breakthrough ingredient. Thiamidol acts as a tyrosinase inhibitor, targeting the root cause of pigmentation. This unique ingredient effectively diminishes both visible and hidden dark spots, preventing their recurrence. The Luminous 630 regimen includes a serum, moisturizer, and night complexion repair.
Kiko Milano Skin Trainer collection: Italian flair, Filipino skin-friendly
Contrary to popular belief, Italian skincare can be perfectly suited for Asian skin and the Philippine climate. The Kiko Milano Skin Trainer collection proves this with its lightweight, creamy formulations that feel comfortable on the skin.
Among our favorites is the Skin Trainer CC Blur. This lightweight CC base acts as an instant optical corrector, enhancing the skin's appearance and creating a soft-focus effect that blurs imperfections. Formulated with hyaluronic filling spheres, Vitis Vinifera Fruit Extract, and Vitamin E, it's suitable for all skin types and provides the perfect base for a busy day.
Another must-try is the Hyaluron Lip Mask. This pampering treat hydrates and plumps lips with a velvety soft formulation of hyaluronic acid and orange tree flower water. Its delightful, creamy milkshake scent is an added bonus.
The Skin Trainer collection also includes a face mask, eye serum, serum, and moisturizer, offering a complete skincare regimen.
Accoje: Jeju's natural beauty secrets
Accoje, meaning "pretty and lovely" in the Jeju dialect, is a South Korean skincare brand known for its skin-friendly formulas free of seven harmful ingredients. Now available in the Philippines through Beauty Bar, Accoje offers several lines, with the Vital in Jeju and Anti-Aging collections as bestsellers.
The Vital in Jeju line, enriched with echinacea and red beet, focuses on improving skin texture by delivering deep moisture and nutrition. The Anti-Aging collection combines Jeju seaweed complex and peptides to enhance anti-aging effects, promoting a youthful and clear complexion.
Accoje also offers lines for brightening, reviving, protecting, and hydrating, each featuring a variety of products such as emulsions, toners, capsule creams, sun sticks, wrinkle correctors, and more.
Bioten Hyaluronic Gold: Science-backed anti-aging
The Bioten Hyaluronic Gold skincare line leverages the latest in skincare science, combining 30 million hyaluronic capsules and Golden Proteins to combat the visible signs of aging. Its enhanced anti-wrinkle power reduces wrinkles, restores skin volume, and improves skin tone.
Recently, Bioten welcomed award-winning actress Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo as its brand ambassador. The Hyaluronic Gold line comprises five anti-aging products: day cream, night cream, eye cream, pearl serum, and ampoule. Each product is formulated to deeply hydrate, firm, and smooth the skin.
The Day Cream, infused with SPF10, shields skin from harmful UVA, visible light (VL), and infrared (IR) UVB rays while counteracting wrinkles, restoring firmness, and addressing uneven skin tone.
The Hyaluronic Gold Pearl Serum, formulated with Smart Pearl Technology, absorbs quickly, smooths wrinkles and fine lines, and reduces blackheads. The Ampoules, also featuring Pearl Technology, visibly transform the skin's texture.
Quickfx Pore Eraser line: Smooth, flawless skin
A skincare breakthrough powered by Canadian glacial clay and mineral water for that ice skin effect. This collection is composed of pore eraser trio:
• Pore Eraser Clay Mask—Draws out dirt, oil, and impurities to unclog pores
• Pore Eraser Toner—Helps tighten pores and refine skin texture
• Pore Eraser Moisturizing Cream—Hydrates while sealing pores for that ice-skin finish.
Whether you're looking for a lightweight CC cream, a hydrating lip mask, or a science-backed anti-aging regimen, these new skincare lines offer a range of options to address your specific needs. From the Italian-inspired formulations of Kiko Milano to the natural ingredients of Accoje and the advanced technology of Bioten Hyaluronic Gold, there's something to discover and incorporate into your daily routine. Investing in your skin is an investment in yourself, and these products provide a great starting point for achieving a healthy, radiant complexion at any age.
