New Pond's Men finally in the Philippines!

Some years ago, I remember a male colleague of mine asking me if he can also use the whitening cream I'm using on my face. He looked embarrassed, probably because he's expecting me to ask him if he's gay.  (laughs)  But no, I didn't.  Like us, men also have skin issues.  They also suffer from sunspots and other skin blemishes.  And besides, we are no longer in the age when men who take care of their skin and overall looks are considered to be homosexuals.  I mean, c'mon! Looking good to feel good isn't exclusive for us women.  I don't think it makes them less of a man when they take care of themselves.  I personally like that in a man, as long as it's not too much!

Pond's, the skincare brand that has been trusted by women for more than 150 years, also recognises that even men need to take care of their skin and groom themselves.  And so they launched their first range of skincare for men - Pond's men, and it's now available in the Philippines!

The Pond's Men Energy Charge Skincare Range

The Pond’s Institute recognizes that men need skin care products dedicated to their evolving skin concerns. And with Pond’s Men Energy Charge, Pond’s harnesses the power of coffee

bean extracts for a multi-benefit approach in caring for men’s skin needs, leaving it brighter and energised. 

According to Dr Jason Harcup, Vice President of Personal Care Research in Unilever, “At the Pond’s Institute, we discovered that Coffee Bean extract, an innovative ingredient, has scientifically proven skin care benefits that can address male skin care concerns.” 

 

Why Coffee?

1. It is rich in antioxidants. 

 The environment is full of free radicals (pollution particles, etc.) that wreak havoc on the skin. Loading up skin with the anti-oxidants in coffee protects it and bolsters skin’s natural defences.

2. It protects against harsh sun rays. 

UVB rays are harmful and may even lead to more complicated and life-threatening skin diseases. Protecting your skin with caffeine may protect it against UV-induced cancer. According to the Journal of Investigative Dermatology (2009), caffeine actually “inhibits the DNA Damage response to protect skin against the adverse effects of UVB.”The inhibition of “DNA damage response may offer a therapeutic option for nonmellanoma skin cancer.”

3. It makes skin smooth.

Coffee plays a crucial role in regulating water content in skin cells, leading to retained hydration and increased skin elasticity.

4. It enhances blood circulation. 

When coffee promotes blood circulation, skin becomes healthier and energized, effectively reducing swelling of tissue and depuffing areas of the skin.
