Your Radiance, Your Runway: Look Confidently Radiant on and off the Runway with Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance

Confidence starts with bright, healthy skin.

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 Barand 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 Serumthanks 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.

Beyond “Hiyang”: Filipino Beauty Should Combine Science and “Feeling” – Dermorepubliq

The official Dermorepubliq booth as the official sponsor of the first-ever TikTok Beauty Fest Philippines 2025 held at Bonifacio Global City

Dermorepubliq guided makers, professionals, and enthusiasts in deeper discussions about skincare that went beyond product trends and viral routines at the inaugural TikTok Beauty Fest Philippines, which took place at Bonifacio Global City. By examining how science, self-expression, and social media interact to shape contemporary beauty practices, the event represented a turning point in TikTok’s development from a digital content platform to a physical center for beauty instruction and community involvement.

Sensitive skin and the science underlying its prevalence were the topics of one of the more talked-about workshops.

For years, ‘hiyang’ has been the measure of whether a product works. But skin compatibility isn’t just luck, it’s also chemistry,” shared Maria Gabrielle Lim, Marketing Director of Dermorepubliq, during a fireside chat.

Lim further explained that after years in the beauty industry, she has noticed how hiyang remains the most common consumer feedback among Filipinos, often tied to how “matapang” or harsh a product feels on the skin. “Sometimes we think we know enough about skincare because we do our own research online, but there is always more to uncover when you think about the scientific side,” she said.

From L–R) Maria Gabrielle Lim, Marketing Director of Dermorepubliq; Aika Vargas, Research and Development Lead of Dermorepubliq; and Dr. Jaja Lao-Ang discuss skincare beyond product trends and viral routines during the TikTok Beauty Fest Philippines 2025

Dr. Jaja Lao-Ang, a board-certified dermatologist, built on Gabbie’s observation, noting that the hiyang phenomenon is not just a matter of personal preference but rooted in biology. “There are real physiological reasons behind why some Filipinos react more strongly to certain formulations,” she explained. “Our skin has higher melanin content, which comes with both advantages and challenges. It gives us a bit more protection against UV damage, but it also makes us more prone to hyperpigmentation, irritation, and inflammation. Because of these factors, even if we have more pigment, we still need consistent sun protection. Sunscreen is essential whether you are outdoors or spending most of your time indoors.

This shift, from anecdotal belief to scientific understanding, reflects a broader change in how Filipino consumers approach skincare. A 2025 report by Galderma, found that the Philippines leads Southeast Asia in the prevalence of sensitive skin. Dermatologists attribute this to the country’s tropical climate, pollution, and higher melanin content, which make Filipino skin more reactive to sun exposure, humidity, and stronger formulations.

The rise of mindful minimalism

Dr. Lao-Ang also addressed what she called the “pressure to over-skincare.”

The biggest misconception I see is that more products mean better skin. Our skin barrier is delicate. The smarter approach is using fewer, targeted products that your skin can actually tolerate,” she said.

This “less is more” philosophy aligns with a growing global trend toward skin minimalism, simplified routines that prioritize barrier health over aggressive treatment layers.

From consumer feedback to lab reformulation

At the same session, Aika Vargas, Dermorepubliq’s Research and Development Lead, described how local research and community feedback guide the brand’s product development process.

Formulating skincare is not just about mixing actives, it is about listening,” she said. “When users tell us a product feels too strong or sticky, that feedback goes straight to the lab. Each reformulation is shaped by both data and lived experience.

It is a model increasingly seen across the local beauty scene, where social media feedback loops, dermatological insights, and in-house R&D (research and development) converge to build formulations attuned to Filipino skin realities rather than imported beauty standards.

A platform for smarter beauty

Dermorepubliq at the first-ever TikTok Beauty Fest Philippines 2025 held at Bonifacio Global City

Dermorepubliq’s active presence as the official sponsor at the TikTok Beauty Fest underscored a larger message: the growing importance of skin literacy in an industry still shaped by social media trends. As TikTok Shop Philippines’ top skincare brand, Dermorepubliq used the platform not only to engage consumers but also to encourage more informed, science-based conversations around skincare.

“Our mission has always been to help Filipinos understand what goes into their skincare and why it works for them,” said Keith Sta. Barbara, Founder and President of Dermorepubliq. “Our sensitive skin-first philosophy is shaped by the needs of Filipino skin, and peace of mind matters just as much as visible results. We want to build a community that values education as much as efficacy.”

Experts and guests alike found resonance in the conversation, pointing out that the Filipino beauty community is gradually evolving, focusing on what is proven rather than what is popular.

CCIP and the FDA have an industry discussion during the third general membership meeting

Chamber of Cosmetic Industry of the Philippines EVP for external affairs Janina Gutierrez-Tan leads the open forum for the three FDA representatives

During its third General Membership Meeting (GMM) at the SMX Convention Center, the Chamber of Cosmetics Industry of the Philippines, Inc. (CCIP) convened stakeholders in the cosmetics and personal care industries for a historic interaction with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). “FDA Frontline: What’s New & What’s Next?” was the theme of the event.The Beauty + Health & Wellness Convention was also conducted during this time.

The event gave industry participants a unique chance to speak with FDA representatives directly about regulatory issues and receive firsthand information on the procedures, rules, and digital changes influencing the personal care and cosmetics business. The FDA Center for Cosmetics Regulation and Research Officer Esperanza Almenanza, CCIP President Christine Reyes, Executive Vice President for External Affairs Janina Gutierrez-Tan (JRadiance Corporation), Regulation Officer for Cosmetic and Beauty Products Ralph Christofer Manapat, and Representative Florlita Gabuna are among the distinguished speakers.

In her remarks, Reyes underscored the importance of continuous dialogue between regulators and industry players. “It’s uncommon for stakeholders to have this level of direct interaction with the FDA. This gathering demonstrates how partnership can advance the cosmetics industry while ensuring consumer safety.”

Opening the discussion with a presentation on Post-Marketing Surveillance (PMS), Almenanza outlined how the FDA verifies and monitors products through consumer complaints, routine sampling, and the review of advertisements and marketing claims across platforms.

FDA center for cosmetics regulation and research officer Esperanza O. Almenanza talks about post-marketing surveillance process at the CCIP 3rd general membership meeting

“Brands should not be intimidated when they receive a notice of non-compliance. What matters most is transparency and providing corrective and preventive actions. Compliance is a shared responsibility, not a punishment,” Almenanza said, adding that product recall protocols are preventive tools for consumer protection, with the urgency and scope depending on the level of risk involved.

Meanwhile, FDA acknowledged existing processing delays and introduced the Food and Drug Action Center (FDAC) hotline as a dedicated follow-up channel to improve communication and reduce backlogs. Moreover, new guidelines are being developed for Functional Pop Beauty (F-POP) cosmetics, with ASEAN standards serving as the foundation and certain categories potentially adopting frameworks inspired by Korea’s functional cosmetics certification.

Addressing key customs and importation issues, the FDA also clarified that it has no direct jurisdiction over the Bureau of Customs but continues to issue public advisories to assist importers. CCIP pledged to support members facing unnecessary or overlapping requirements outside FDA’s authority. FDA officials emphasized their ongoing efforts to work collaboratively with the private sector to enhance efficiency and transparency in regulatory processes.

CCIP’s function as a liaison between the business sector and regulators was reinforced by this interaction. In order to establish the Philippines as a rising leader in the global market for cosmetics and personal care products, the organization keeps promoting compliance as a catalyst for innovation, credibility, and long-term growth.

More than 180 companies in the cosmetics value chain, including producers, importers, distributors, suppliers, and service providers, are represented by the non-profit trade group CCIP. CCIP, a founding member of the ASEAN Cosmetics Association, promotes regulatory harmonization, cooperation with the government and foreign partners, and global competitiveness as the unified voice of the Philippine cosmetics sector.

Dermorepubliq takes its sun care experience to Boracay through a beachside activation and company retreat

TikTok Shop Philippines’ leading skincare brand, Dermorepubliq, brought its summer sun care campaign to Boracay with a two-day beachfront event spotlighting its DermoSun Mattifying Sunscreen — a summer must-have specially designed for Filipino skin. Along with the activation, the brand also hosted a company retreat on the island, showcasing its dedication to both sun protection awareness and employee wellness.

The event took place from May 17 to 18, 2025, in front of Epic Boracay at Station 2, where beachgoers were invited to experience DermoSun at the interactive “Glow Bar” and receive full-sized products for free. Photo spots and hands-on demos allowed visitors to explore the sunscreen’s matte, lightweight formula, known for its fast-absorbing, non-greasy finish.

“We developed DermoSun in direct response to what our community asked for — a sunscreen that’s lightweight, effective, and fits into real Filipino routines,” said Keith Sta. Barbara, Founder and President of Dermorepubliq. “Bringing it to Boracay, where the sun is both beautiful and intense, gave us a fitting setting to demonstrate how sun care can be simple, effective, and part of everyday life.”

The activation coincided with Dermorepubliq’s three-day company retreat, allowing 131 employees to pause, connect, and reflect — reinforcing the company’s holistic approach to care for its community and its people.

“As we grow, it’s important that we stay grounded, not just in product innovation but in purpose,” said Sta. Barbara. “This trip wasn’t only about bringing our sunscreen to the beach; it was also a chance to reconnect with the team behind it. And just as we’re committed to showing up for our community, it was equally important to show up for our team. Boracay gave us the space to do both.”

The activation event and company retreat are part of the brand’s Dermo 2-Finger Challenge—a TikTok campaign that encourages the dermatologist-recommended two-finger method for applying sunscreen. Participants have until May 30 to join, with one lucky winner receiving an all-expense-paid trip for two to Boracay, to be announced on June 10.
