Aveeno has recently introduced its new Calm + Restore Facial Care line in a launch event at Manila’s Khozy Lounge and unveiled actress Sofia Andres as the latest ambassador for the skincare brand.
The line, which caters to sensitive skin, is formulated with prebiotic oat and calming feverfew, offering products that promise to soothe and restore the skin’s moisture barrier.
In an interview with Manila Standard Life, Andres shared insights into her self-care routine, reflecting her dedication to skincare.
“I go to the dermatologist, work out, and visit the sauna to release all the toxins,” she said. “I’m very passionate about taking care of myself, and I don’t care if people call me high-maintenance; it’s about self-awareness and self-love. It’s all about being mindful,” she added, laughing.
When asked about moments when she doesn’t feel confident or beautiful, Andres emphasized the importance of self-love. “Feeling beautiful and confident really comes from within, which is why self-love is so important because it reflects on the outside. But if you’re truly not feeling confident, here’s a secret—pray. Aside from all the skincare routines, prayer is very powerful for calming yourself.”
Given her busy schedule, Andres was asked how she manages to stick to her skincare routine. She explained that her sensitive skin often reminds her not to skip it.
“I have very sensitive skin, and I often get rashes and redness, which reminds me not to skip my skincare routine. I wouldn’t risk it. So my advice is, if you’ve found your holy grail products, stick to them. Experimenting is too risky. I’ve found mine, and it’s Aveeno,” the actress and social media personality shared.
Her partnership with Aveeno came as a delightful surprise. “At first, I was shocked, and then I felt so thrilled! It’s a trusted brand I’ve been using for a long time. I use their Skin Relief Lotion, and my daughter also uses their lotion for kids. Now that they’ve expanded into skincare, I’m excited to share it with everyone. It’s gentle yet incredibly effective. What I love most is that it gives real results without harsh chemicals, which perfectly suits my skincare needs.”
Andres also shared her moisturizing habits, which she says play a key role in maintaining her skin’s glow. “Yes, I moisturize a lot. I love to hydrate my skin because moisturizing at night gives me peace of mind that my skin will look good the next day. It improves my skin texture, and the best part is, that this routine isn’t complicated. You don’t need a lot of products to see great results.”
The Aveeno Calm + Restore product line, designed specifically for sensitive skin, includes the Oat Gel Moisturizer, Nourishing Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30, Re-Hydrating Night Cream, and Triple Oat Serum. Guests at the launch event were given the opportunity to test the products, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the line for its instantly calming effects and deep hydration.
Dr. Mabelle Colayco, a board-certified dermatologist who attended the event, stressed the importance of caring for sensitive skin. She highlighted the benefits of prebiotic oat and feverfew, key ingredients in the Calm + Restore line, noting that these ingredients help soothe and protect sensitive skin by rebuilding its moisture barrier.
Hugo Kerriou, from Aveeno’s research and development team, elaborated on the science behind the products. “Aveeno has relied on oat for over 70 years due to its exceptional ability to hydrate, support the skin barrier, and balance the skin’s microbiome. Feverfew also brings added value with its soothing and antioxidant properties, helping the skin fend off environmental stressors.”
The launch event, which later transitioned into a lively social gathering at Papillon, showcased Aveeno’s commitment to providing effective skincare solutions for sensitive skin. Guests participated in activities like yoga and facial massages, enjoying a relaxing atmosphere that matched the brand’s ethos.
Aveeno’s Calm + Restore line is now available at major retailers like Watsons, Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop.
