Sharing Store Finds: Kids Edition

Here's a roundup of products I've gathered since August to now, that you might want to check out at your favorite grocery or health & beauty supplies stores.

Got teens? Pure & Fresh is a mild and gentle feminine wash that is clinically formulated with the right pH level. Enriched with milk proteins and chamomile extract, it is mild and suitable for teens’ skin and ideal for everyday use. 

Pure ‘n Fresh Feminine Wash is available in selected supermarkets, drugstores and beauty stores nationwide. Choose amongst 3 variants: Mandarin Kisses, Fabulously Fruity and Berry Twist.

A 50mL bottle retails for Php39.65 and the 100mL costs P70.

From Oishi "O, Wow!" comes Oishi Oaties Milk and Oishi Oaties Choco Chug Chocolate Milk Drink. 

Why Oaties? Because unlike ordinary cow's milk, both have finely ground oats mixed into the milk to make it creamier, and yummier. The first ready-to-drink milk of its kind in the market, each 250 ml tetra pack milk carton serving (Berry's is a giant version, heehee) contains 4 grams of fiber which is equivalant to the fiber content in a bowl of oatmeal. Now wouldn't this be such a healthy drink to pack for baon, or for long road trips?

Oishi Oaties Milk and Chocolate Milk also comes in 1 liter tetra pack cartons. For more about Oishi Oaties, visit www.oishi.com.ph and like Oishi on Facebook: www.facebook.com/oishi.ph

CHAMPS chewable multivitamins for kids comes in 5 variants: CHAMPS Vitamin C, CHAMPS M, CHAMPS M with lysine, CHAMPS C plus lysine, and CHAMPS OMEGA 3.

The chewable tablets come in various shapes and tasty flavors making it fun to take vs. sticky, messy multivitamins that come in syrup form.

CHAMPS is a product of the Chemical Company of Malaysia, the largest generic pharmaceutical company in Malaysia.

Anti-stretchmark creams are coming out one after the other, that if stretchmarks could only shiver in their boots, they would be doing so now. While technically not for kids, this product is for the mom with a little kid growing in her tummy.

From UNILAB comes Celeteque Maternity Anti-Stretch Mark Cream with skin firming agents such as Elastonyl and Alchemilla vulgaris extract that help protect and restore the tone and elasticity of the skin. It also has effective moisturizers such as Phyto Collage and Shea Butter to help skin become more pliant or stretchable. 

Just apply the product liberally using circular motions on stretch mark prone areas such as the abdomen, the arms, hips and thighs and for best results, and use it both in the morning and evening.

Céleteque DermoScience products are available online at http://service.healthfirst.com.ph/celeteque/ and at Watson’s, SM Department Stores, and Robinson’s Department Store for Php 445.

What's New from Celeteque Brightening

Eye to eye with aging: La Roche-Posay Anti-Wrinke cream & Celeteque Eye Tuck plus Dark Circles Lightener

Yes, it cannot be denied. Age ain't nothing but a number, until your wrinkles tell you otherwise. It doesn't even whisper at the hint of it. It just stares you right in the face.

So yes, that is why I am all about creams, moisturizers and serums now. When you are in your late 30s, you just got to grab aging by the horns and deal with it.

Homegrown brand Celeteque (yes! Celeteque, while sounding French, is actually owned by Unilab) has new products that promise to keep the signs of aging at bay. To start with, there's Eye Tuck plus Dark Circles Lightener which is clinically proven to reduce puffiness around the eye area and to significantly lighten the skin around the eyes in just 4 weeks. Did I just say lighten dark eye circles? Well, hello! Nice to meet you!

I am writing this post at 1 am, and boy am I glad to know this: Many believe that lack of sleep is the main cause of dark circles and puffiness that form around the eye area, but the real culprit is accumulation of water and fat. Fat deposits under the eye create the puffiness, not only fatigue and lack of sleep. And because the skin under our eye area is thinner and does not have oil glands, the skin gets looser and fine lines and wrinkles develop faster. 

Céleteque Eye Tuck plus Dark Circles Lightener contains EyeserylTetrapeptide Complex, which counter the formation of loose skin surrounding the eye area and fight water accumulation. It promises to do the trick in 7 days or less by improving skin elasticity in the eye area, and lightening the skin around it in only 3 weeks. 

Aside from the Brightening Eye Tuck plus Dark Circles Lightener, other products in the Céleteque DermoScience Brightening line include the Brightening Facial Wash, Brightening Tri-benefit Power Cream, Brightening Dark Spot Corrector and the Brightening Multi-benefit BB Cream. 

While I'm onto the CC cream these days, I cannot wait to try Celeteque's BB Cream!

Anything that would make my skin look flawless, I like!
