When it comes to skincare, Watsons can't seem to stop creating products that solidifies its presence in the beauty industry. They recently launched an extensive line of skincare that contains one of the most sought after ingredient, Collagen.



And why is collagen so important? It's a prime agent in preventing majority of skin problems. From dry skin, fine lines and wrinkles and even skin discoloration. When we were babes, our body is filled with collagen. This amino acid (protein) is found everywhere in our body. As we age, collagen in our body slowly declines, more so when we expose our body to free radicals, pollution etc.


The idea that one major ingredient can be a cure for many types of skin problems is godsent to me. I've been dealing with so much skin problems lately. 

Dull Skin
Uneven skin tone
Rough Texture
Acne and oiliness

Collagen by Watsons is formulated with Tri-Complex Collagen which has unique three types of collagen molecules that work in perfect harmony to penetrate the deeper layer of the skin. It helps the skin cells regenerate and improve its elasticity. Building up the reserves for collagen only shows that going back to the very basic foundation of the skin is one of the best way to give the skin its youthful glow. to nourish it with the very same thing that it used to generate in abundance.


Simplicity in skincare at its finest.



Dryness, roughness, and skin dullness. These are signs that your skin is dialing the rescue hotline. The Nourishing range’s collagen boosting system improves the skin’s elasticity to keep it moisturized, firm and supple.


Are you annoyed with dark spots or uneven skin tone? Do you wish to have a fairer skin? Your future is looking bright. White Regeneration is the whitening range made with Penta Lucent system that reduces dark spots and prevents melanin formation. With this range, skin is whiter, fairer and more translucent. 

Droopy or saggy skin, wrinkles and fine lines – if you notice any signs of aging, it’s time to send an SOS. Reverse the signs of aging with Skin Renew. With its skin rejuvenating program, it repairs and restores skin cells to give a firmer and younger looking skin. 

Oily skin is the worst way to shine. Aim for that fresh, dewy look. The Hydro Balance range has Smart Water Channel that infuses water deep into the skin, keeping it hydrated. It locks in moisture to keep our skin feeling fresh, soft and smooth.

If you're eager to change something but you don't want it to be a drastic sort of change then read on, this is something that will surely interests you.



I would only call it fate when I scored a schedule with Dra. Kaycee of the much-raved clinic, Luminisce in Fort Bonifacio. She's a well-known dermatologist to some of the popular influencers and celebrities in the country.

THE PROBLEM

February 2017 - At age 33, I was alarmed to see that my skin is starting to get fine lines and wrinkles on the furrow area (skin between the brows and nose bridge). It wasn't the cute kind either... it's the ones that made you look masungit like  I saw it on my mom's and I could see it in mine. The 11's that shows everytime I frown  was depressing the hell out of me. I know I have internal issues that I have to deal with but I didn't want my face to show it and I'm not in the world of beauty to not know what I gotta do about it. Consider this a band-aid fix, avery beautiful one and one I would use again if the world demands me to look my best.

I have to say that Flawless certainly has risen up to the top when it comes to new innovation on skincare and treatments. I have not seen this kind of growth in other clinics. This year alone, they have released a breakthrough all-natural treatment, brought a top of the line organic skin care line from France and now, a latest addition to their existing in-house skin care products, the Flawless Super Serums. Surely, Flawless refuse to rest on their laurels.

What is Flawless Super Serums? 

Flawless CEO, Ruby Sy, shared that that it is essentially a combination of potent ingredients to further boost efficacy of their in-house beauty kits made in collaboration with Mesoetetic Pharma group in Spain (yes, Super Serums are made in Spain). But it became more than that. "The Flawless Super Serums are essentially new age serums. They are very potent and can dramatically improve various skin conditions in as early as two weeks, but they are mild enough to be used for long periods of time, even by people with sensitive skin.” she shared.

Additionally, it also has SPF. Great even for men to use, as endorsed by Victor Basa, a
model/actor/host, who also happens to be the signicant other of Divine Lee, a Flawless endorser herself. Both attests to the effectiveness of these serums. Victor and Divine both love the whitening Super Serum.

I got myself the Pimple Clear Super Serums and in tandem with my ISKIN products, there is significant difference with how my skin was just a few weeks ago. As you can see, the serums do not come in a bottle. It comes in a box of 5 x 5ml or 0.17 ml fl. oz strip. The tubes are easy enough to open. Twist and it will release the cap. Turn the cap upside down and you can use it to cover again the tube. It's milky opaque pink unlike other serums I have tried in the past. I have to hazard a guess that the opacity is due to the sunblock while pink must be because of the pimple clear ingredients. But like most serums, it is not oily and quite easily absorbed by the skin.

How to use the Flawless Super Serums?

Apply a thinly all over your face, right after your  cleanser and toner and before all your other cream products. This should be the first thing to apply after cleansing off your skin of grime and dirt. A little goes a long way so don't go crazy with it. One tube should last you 3 to 4 weeks. :)

How effective is the Flawless Super Serum?

In a little over two weeks, you will see significant results. So if your Flawless beauty kit is already working for you, imagine a faster turn over. I'm using ISKIN and already there is significant results. I still have pimple but most of them have dried up with just less than a week of use.

How much is the Flawless Super Serum?

For a box, the Flawless Super Serums is only Php 1500. Significantly cheaper already compared to most serums sold in the product.

Who should try Super Serums?

Well, I should say all of us, but it's really for men and women who wants to speed up the healing process of their skin. If you have severe acne and is dissatisfied with your current regimen, you don't need to purchase a new skin care set, just add the Pimple Clear (this is what I did). For those who wants to boost their whitening skin care products, add the Whitening Super Serum. And for those who needs an extra does to prevent signs of aging, then the Age Defying should do the trick!

Where to get the Flawless Super Serums?

At the nearest Flawless clinics, of course! These new roducts will be available nationwide and at their newly opened clinics in Eastwood and Bacolod.

Are you a soap person? If you are then you should try Mir & Ryvi Organic Bath Soaps. I've had these babies since last year and I didn't realize that I haven't blogged about them when I love them so much that I used up these products they sent last year in succesion.

There's nothing like using a bath soap that can double as a facial soap as well depending on your skin care concerns. And honestly, you can only get that from an organic or naturally made product. Case in point, Mir and Ryvi. A brand that wants to bring affordable products with the highest quality in skin care. The name alone was enough for me to get interested. Mir and Ryvi means peace and river which to me feels like they are one and goes with the flow of nature. Nice, right? 

Going back to basics is something not many brands can easily pull off but Mir and Ryvi have done flawlessly by sourcing their products with care and dedication. Although I am not an all-organics girl, I appreciate the effort of a brand to bring us back to nature. Especially now that we're saturated with brands who brings scientific innovations at a daily basis.

What's great is that the people of Mir and Ryvi tries to give us options to target a specific skin care concern.

Mir and Ryvi Papaya Soap Skin Lightening Beauty Bar

Their Papaya Soap helps lighten the skin and reduces dullness with carefully chosen and sourced ingredients from here and abroad much like your typical whitening papaya soap from mass-produced brands. Sans the chemicals associated with it. 

The're the Papaya enzyme, which you all know is a lightening agent but also an effective exfoliator. There is also Mulberry extract proven to help inhibit tyrosinase in our skin that cause melanin production. Combined with Vitamin B3, another lightening ingredient and the almost-always-present Vitamin E, this soap is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to skin lightening.

Personally, I like the feel and scent of the soap. Lightening might take a while with this compared to your regular papaya soap but it does the job in maintaining my fair skin as well as keeping it clean and soft.

Mir and Ryvi Tomato Soap Acne-Cleansing Bar

Tomato Soap is definitely a sensitive and acne-prone person's dream. Tomatoes are naturally good, it contains lycopene to help add glow to the skin and it's a also a natural anti-septic. It also an anti-oxidant to slow down skin aging. I down a glass of tomato juice when ever I can and my body can feel the change. So does the effects of this soap. My skin is very much problematic and I prefer to use this soap for my face. But on occasion I suffer from bacne, this is a must-use.

Mir and Ryvi's tomato soap contains ECOCERT anti-acne ingredients that helps improve the skin's texture as well as help heel acne. Like most natural products, patience is the key when seeing the results as our skin adjusts slowly from converting to a more simpler product. Add to that this also contains Vitamin B3, you are not only helping your skin heal from acne but also help slowly lighten the scars associated with pimples.

Mir and Ryvi Banana Soap Spot Lightening Beauty Bar

The Banana Soap is a must especially now that I'm nearing my 30's and I still deal with dark spots. The perfect blend of lightening and anti-aging, thanks to the banana (organic at that) that contains high levels of Vitamin A, B, C. I noticed that my dark spots, caused both by acne and sun exposure slowly lightened.

Coupled with Acerola, Cupuacu Butter along with more Vitamin A and E, this Banana Soap can help with reviving the skin's youthful feel. Personally, I'm not even after the anti-aging, the mere fact that this soap is extremely moisturizing, my face and body thanks me every time I use it given how soft and supple it feels after use. I even get to skip my lotion after bathing. Although it's not advisable for those with extremely dry skin.

This is an ideal gift for banana lovers as well as moms, aunts and anyone who is anti-aging enthusiast.


The bar in itself has one of the best integrity out of all the organic soaps I've tried. Honest enough to say that they use a minute amount of preservatives to help prevent molds and decay, Mir and Ryvi still manage to keep their bath soaps safe for use for anyone at any age.

It lathers well, too. Not the same as your regular soap, especially for their banana variant, but I do feel clean and moisturized after using it. Having managed to create 3 variants that tackles the most common skin issues, the brand has certainly made a mark in the community. Add to that Mir and Ryvi is proudly homegrown. And it's distributed by Beauty Bar, a store widely known for offering the best in cosmetics and skin care.

If you are in the organic path, Mir and Ryvi is definitely one of the brands that you should look up.
