A well-loved household name in sensitive skin relief has finally arrived in the Philippines
Aveeno, the number-one body lotion formula in the US, has finally reached our shores. A cherished beauty secret, it has been passed on from one generation to another; a familiar name for treating sensitive skin.
The brand has over 60 years of experience in harnessing the power of natural ingredients to soothe skin. The key player: oats. Oatmeal, nature’s best moisturizer, has long been recommended for sensitive skin for its ability to relieve dry, itchy, or irritated skin.
Through countless clinical studies and tests, Aveeno was able to create and perfect colloidal oats: finely ground oatmeal combined with their proprietary ingredients of Active Naturals. Colloidal oatmeal is a mix of skin-transforming proteins, anti-oxidants, vitamins, and polysaccharides that treat and protect skin. Known to be suitable for babies and children, moms have also tested and trusted it to be good for them too.
Skin Stories
Women have their own skin story to tell—stories of strength and beauty, of health and success. Aveeno chose three ambassadors precisely for their natural beauty and their own story of wellness: Christine Jacob-Sandejas, Nikki Gil-Albert, and Jaymie Pizzaro.
“My wonderful motherly scars from my C-section, my freckles, my sunburn—they’re all part of my skin story and I wear them proudly,” says Christine. This hands-on mom, TV host, and champion swimmer believes her skin is a reminder of her hard work and her achievements. A fan of the brand early on, she appreciates that it is aligned with her healthy and active lifestyle. “It’s nice to have a product that comes from nature. Something more natural, organic, and pure.”
“I grew up with really sensitive skin and acne, and I’ve become a big skin advocate because of this,” says actress, singer, and TV host Nikki. As someone who’s under constant scrutiny, Nikki has remained confident and has embraced who she truly is while in the limelight. “I no longer put up with the pressures of being fair-skinned. It’s more important to have healthy skin,” she shares. A skin-care junkie, Nikki has tried many products but Aveeno has always remained a staple for her.
From using it on her two children, then on her own skin, triathlete and The Bull Runner founder Jaymie trusts Aveeno for her family’s skin condition. “I’ve been loyal to it for 15 years. The first time I purchased it was for my son—as an infant he had atopic dermatitis. I brought him to his pedia, who prescribed Aveeno. We tried it and loved it. Three years later, I gave birth to my second child, who also had the same problem, so we just continued to use it until now. I just love the product, and I’m so thrilled that it’s here.”
Jaymie believes in a holistic lifestyle and how everything follows when you choose the path of health and wellness. “I’m a health coach and I teach people to live a healthy and active lifestyle. When you live actively it’s not just about fitness. Aside from a fit body, it’s also having complete peace for yourself, good relationships with others, and great skin.”
