Between work, errands, family, friends, and the flurry of the upcoming holidays, our schedules are packed – yet our skin deserves to stay bright and radiant through it all. Because even on the busiest days, confidence shouldn’t take a back seat.
That’s why Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance partnered with SoFA Design Institute for its 2025 Graduation Show, where models, designers, and artists balanced packed schedules yet still took the runway with confidence and radiance.
The collaboration celebrated creativity, courage, and individuality in full color, spotlighting the next visionaries of Filipino fashion while reminding us that confidence isn’t just about what we wear — it begins with the self, and with skin that looks and feels its healthiest.
As the runway came alive with personal stories and self-expression, Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance stood beside them, championing radiance that feels as good as it looks; not only under the spotlight, but in everyday life.
Whether you’re walking a runway or chasing your own goals, Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance works gently behind the scenes to keep skin bright, healthy, and radiant. With every step, anyone can take on life like it’s your runway. This is your radiance, your runway.
Radiance, the Gentle Way
Bright skin doesn’t need to come at the expense of sensitivity. Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance offers clinically proven brightening care that’s gentle on sensitive skin — proving that radiance can be kind, and confidence can be soft yet powerful.
At the center of this radiance movement is the Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance Perfecting Serum, powered by Niacinamide, Sea Daffodil, Vitamin C, and Advanced Peptides. With its 7x Power for visible radiance, the serum delivers brighter, healthier-looking skin in as fast as 2 weeks — all while remaining kind to sensitive skin, even under daily stress.
“As a dermatologist, I remind my patients that lasting brightness doesn’t come from harsh treatments but from consistency and care. When skin is under stress, it becomes more vulnerable, so the gentler your approach, the stronger and more radiant your skin will be,” said Dr Gaile Robredo-Vitas.
For all-around radiant skin, the Bright Healthy Radiance lineup keeps skin bright, hydrated, and protected:
• The Brightness Reveal Creamy Cleanserlifts impurities while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture barrier. The Brightness Refresh Toner delivers instant luminosity for brighter skin. • The Brightening Day Protection Cream andBrightening Night Comfort Cream provide lasting hydration and strengthen the skin barrier for a more even, radiant complexion. • The Brightness Reveal Bar and Brightening Lotion extend clinically proven brightening care beyond the face with gentle, non-drying formulas that reveal visibly more radiant, even-toned skin.
At the event was Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance Brand Ambassador Catriona Gray, who shared her love for all the products, specifically the Perfecting Serum, thanks to its multi-action benefits of brightening and improving skin health. “This is a major step in my skin routine,” said Gray, fresh off the runway. “I use it every time to give a boost of radiance to my skin and also reduce the occasional dark spot. No matter what happens, I know my skin is taken care of, and that’s what makes me more confident when it’s time to face the camera.”
Where Everyday Life Meets Skin Confidence
The SoFA Graduation Show graced us with individuality and the culmination of years of dedication — brought to life as artistic masterpieces on the runway. While the show celebrated creativity and confidence, Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance extends that message beyond fashion, into the everyday.
Because when you feel good in your skin, you shine brighter. And when your skin is bright and healthy, every day becomes your runway.

In skincare news that will be sure to cause a buzz in the Philippine regenerative aesthetics scene, Avignon Clinic and Galderma, a global leader in dermatology and aesthetics, announce a strategic partnership aimed at advancing the standard of injectable treatments in the country. This alliance underscores a shared commitment to patient-centric innovation, clinical safety, and education in aesthetic care.
As patients continue to seek safe, effective, and personalized treatments, the collaboration between Avignon Clinic and Galderma aims to respond with science-backed solutions that evolve with individual skin needs. The partnership will feature cutting-edge injectables: notably Sculptra®, Restylane® Kysse and Restylane® Skinboosters Translucent Vital, designed to deliver natural, long-lasting results without compromising comfort or safety.
“This partnership is rooted in a shared vision, to elevate aesthetic medicine through innovation and trust,” said Ferdinand “Louie” Roxas, General Manager of Galderma Philippines. “By working with an institution like Avignon, which mirrors our values and commitment to excellence, we can bring global dermatological solutions to local patients who deserve the very best.”
Andy Chou, Head of Commercial Operations of Galderma, also highlighted the significance of the collaboration in the broader regional landscape. “Our partnership with Avignon Clinic aligns perfectly with our vision to expand access to advanced regenerative aesthetic solutions across Asia-Pacific with strong medical expertise with a patient-first philosophy.”
With a reputation for state-of-the-art facilities and a focus on tailored patient experiences, Avignon Clinic reinforces its leadership through this strategic alignment. According to Christopher Cachuela, Founder and CEO of Avignon Clinic, “This collaboration with Galderma enables us to offer not just world-class treatments, using evidence-based products that deliver high patient satisfaction and ensure safety for our patients. Our clients can expect the most advanced, clinically tested injectable solutions to meet their changing skin goals.”
A New Era for Injectables in the Philippines
The partnership spotlights three key innovations:
Sculptra®, often described as the foundation for youthful-looking skin, is the only collagen stimulator made with PLLA-SCA, a unique formulation proven to stimulate type 1 collagen—the most abundant form in the skin. Results begin as early as 14 days post-treatment and can last over two years, offering natural-looking firmness, radiance, and elasticity over time.
Restylane® Skinboosters Translucent Vital is the only hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable clinically proven to enhance six aspects of skin quality. Patients can expect deep hydration, improved smoothness, reduced fine lines, even tone, reduced scarring, and a refreshed glow that lasts up to 15 months.
Restylane® Kysse is a hyaluronic acid (HA) lip filler designed specifically with movement in mind, made with Optimal Balance Technology (OBT). This advanced formulation allows for precise, natural-looking results that move harmoniously with every smile, and expression. Whether a more defined lip contour, improving lip symmetry, achieving naturally full lips, or smoothing perioral lines (commonly known as smoker’s lines), Restylane Kysse is the ideal choice for patients seeking personalized, expressive beauty that complements their unique facial features.
“More than just treatments, these injectables represent confidence,” said Michelle De Jesus, Business Head of Galderma Aesthetics Philippines. “We understand patients’ apprehensions about injectables, and that’s why we’re focused on education, transparency, and the use of rigorously tested products that deliver subtle, natural improvements.”
What’s Next: Forward-Thinking Aesthetic Programs
As part of this partnership, Avignon and Galderma will roll out a series of educational campaigns, exclusive treatment programs, and medical symposia to further demystify aesthetic injectables and empower patients to make informed choices.
“There’s a lot of misconceptions around injectables, because some think it’s about changing who you are. But at Avignon, our philosophy is enhancement, not alteration,” noted Benedict Sy, President of Avignon Clinic. “By partnering with Galderma, we’re confident in providing results that feel natural, look refined, and will age gracefully with our patients.”
This partnership signifies a mutual dedication to raising industry standards while nurturing the growing trust Filipino patients place in aesthetic medicine.

Cetaphil continues the National Healthy Skin Mission on its 6th year with Anne Curtis and its most advanced solution for redness-prone skin yet
When it comes to sensitive skin, most people think they’ve got it figured out: until they don’t.
What many still don’t realize is that sensitive skin is no longer just about occasional redness or dryness. It has evolved. Today, it’s triggered by a complex mix of stress, pollution, lifestyle choices, and climate change, making symptoms harder to decode and manage. While skincare advice is everywhere, the overload of information can often do more harm than good, especially for skin that’s already compromised.
This year, Cetaphil’s National Healthy Skin Mission (NHSM) returns with a bold reminder: “There’s More to Your Sensitive Skin.” Now in its sixth year, the campaign in collaboration with Watsons aims to go deeper—educating Filipinos on the many faces of sensitivity, from redness and irritation to rough texture and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
This year’s theme is “There’s More To Your Sensitive Skin,” chosen because Galderma, as Cetaphil’s parent company, noted that most Filipinos don’t know that sensitive skin is a skin condition, not a skin type. “The Philippines is number one in ranking in terms of sensitive skin in Southeast Asia, and number six globally,” said Louie Roxas, General Manager at Galderma Philippines. “With this partnership with Watsons, our vision is for every Filipino to have healthy skin.”
“This partnership marks a significant milestone in providing topnotch dermatological skincare solutions and expert advice to Filipinos, to help them understand that the way to healing sensitive skin is more than just knowing you have sensitive skin. It’s also having the knowledge on how to improve your skin’s health,” said Frank Patricio, Controller, Skincare, Cosmetics & Fragrances – Beauty Business Unit for Watsons. Introducing the Soothing & Comforting CICA Line Headlining this year’s campaign is the launch of Cetaphil’s latest innovation: the Soothing & Comforting Range, specially developed to instantly reduce redness and provides up to 24 hours of skin barrier protection.
More than just a temporary solution, the new line addresses sensitivity at its core, thanks to Cetaphil’s Power Trio Blend: ● Centella Asiatica – a proven anti-inflammatory that calms and supports skin healing ● Allantoin – a gentle soothing agent that helps relieve discomfort ● Pentavitin – a powerful hydrator that locks in moisture for long-term barrier protection
What sets this range apart is its dual-action approach: it soothes visible redness and strengthens the skin barrier to prevent future flare-ups—an essential upgrade for those who’ve outgrown short-term fixes. Anne Curtis Leads the Mission Bringing both star power and relatability to the campaign is Anne Curtis, Cetaphil’s brand ambassador and the featured guest at the NHSM 2025 launch.
“As someone who’s always on the go, I’ve learned how stress, pollution, and even constant makeup can trigger sensitivity. It’s not just about products anymore—it’s about understanding what your skin really needs,” Anne shares. When she became a mother, she noticed her skin changing. “After giving birth, I noticed I was more prone to hyper-pigmentation. I didn’t know this meant I had sensitive skin too.” Her personal journey mirrors the campaign’s message: sensitivity is deeper than it appears, and it deserves expert-level care.
Attendees of the launch can expect exclusive product experiences, limited-time promos, personalized skin consultations, and first dibs on the new Soothing and Comforting Range —making this not just a launch, but a full-on movement toward healthier, stronger skin.
There’s More to your Sensitive Skin
Whether you’re dealing with flare-ups, flakiness, or unexplained redness, Cetaphil’s message this year is clear: it’s time to look beyond the surface. According to Mark Sarmiento, Business Unit Head at Cetaphil, they noted that the Filipino skin care enthusiast has a misunderstanding about sensitive skin. “When the average person thinks they have sensitive skin, they assume that is the only problem. But our learnings from skin experts and Cetaphil Science is that there are different types of sensitive skin: sensitive skin that is redness-prone, hyperpigmentation-prone, or even for babies.”
With dermatologist-developed solutions and a deeper understanding of sensitive skin, Cetaphil is here to help you understand it, treat it, and protect it with targeted solutions, no matter what kind of sensitive skin..

Cetaphil, the trusted global leader in sensitive skincare, continues to push boundaries in dermatological care with the launch of its latest innovation: the Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating Salicylic Acid line—a transformative solution made for people with rough and bumpy skin, but safe enough for everyday use on even the most sensitive skin.
Unveiled at a high-touch, sensorial launch event that featured Atasha Muhlach as brand ambassador and Dr. Gaile Robredo-Vitas as resident derma expert, the new line champions exfoliation without compromise, redefining what it means to care for sensitive skin—daily, gently, and effectively.
A Skincare Breakthrough Backed by Science
Rough, bumpy, or textured skin can be difficult to treat—especially when traditional exfoliating products are too harsh and disruptive to the skin barrier. Cetaphil’s new Salicylic Acid line solves this by combining a Triple-Acid Blend of AHA, BHA, and PHA with Cetaphil’s hydrating blend of Niacinamide, Glycerin, and Panthenol, that boost your skin’s 15 essential ceramides.
The result: a gentle exfoliating formulation that works deeply while caring for the delicate barrier, especially for those with sensitive skin. It’s safe for everyday use, allowing consistent, visible results without irritation or over-stripping.
“The key is really using a well-formulated ingredient,” shares Dr. Gaile Robredo-Vitas, board-certified dermatologist. “Salicylic acid will do the heavy lifting, and it helps to have other ingredients along with it that moisturizes skin like niacinamide and panthenol, providing hydration and barrier support, while salicylic acid does its job.
A Sensorial Experience That Brings the Science to Life
The launch event, held at Electric Garden, showcased a sensorial and informational experience, giving guests the chance to feel the difference between rough and bumpy vs. soft and smooth skin through hands-on stations and sensorial activations. One of the most popular zones allowed attendees to compare various salicylic acid-based formulations, giving a clear understanding of how Cetaphil’s gentle exfoliation stands out in both performance and tolerability.
“As someone always on the go, I need skincare that works but won’t compromise my skin,” says Atasha Muhlach. “This product really changed everything. This is the one exfoliator that I really swear by and you can really use everyday— and trust me, your skin will be better than ever.”
Sensitive Skin First: A Legacy Continued
This launch builds on Cetaphil’s science-centered refresh, first seen in its Cetaphil SkinLabs initiative, where education and empowerment were front and center. Sensitive skin affects over 70% of people globally, and the Philippines ranks among the top countries with the highest prevalence. Cetaphil’s mission remains clear: to be the gold standard in gentle, effective care for every skin type—especially the most sensitive.
“We believe no one should have to choose between results and comfort,” says Mark Sarmiento, Business Unit Head at Cetaphil. “Cetaphil has harnessed the benefits of salicylic acid in a gentle, clinically proven formulation that respects and cares for delicate skin, while still delivering effective exfoliation through the Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating Salicylic Acid Cleanser and Lotion.”
Made for Everyone’s Sensitive Skin
The new Gentle Exfoliating Salicylic Acid line furthers Cetaphil’s dedication to creating dermatologist-developed, clinically tested solutions that empower users of all ages and skin types, especially for sensitive skin.
If you have sensitive skin, rough texture, or persistent bumps, it’s worth asking—could your current skincare be doing more harm than good? Many exfoliants promise results, but often at the cost of irritation. Cetaphil’s new Gentle Exfoliating SA line is different: it’s clinically formulated to smooth, soften, and refine rough, bumpy skin—while respecting even the most sensitive skin barriers, backed by science and trusted by dermatologists.

ExoMind allows us to take a proactive, science-driven approach in supporting emotional resilience and brain function—without medication or downtime,” said Dr. Sison.
