Ascorbic acid (Poten-Cee) Is  Fifty, Fortified, and Forging Forward 



The top adult plain vitamin C brand pays it forward on its 50th year in the Philippines market

To celebrate 50 years of supporting Filipinos’ varying Vitamin C needs and to thank its customers for their continued support, the top Vitamin C brand (adult, plain category) Ascorbic acid (Poten-Cee) Vitamin C,¹ launches its milestone campaign, Fifty, Fortified, and Forging Forward. 
 
Poten-Cee Is Fifty 

Poten-Cee, proudly from PascualLab, one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the Philippines, traces its humble beginnings to the post-war era, supporting the Vitamin C needs of Filipinos. Today, it has evolved into one of the top Vitamin C brands offering variants that help fulfill different needs and that support different lifestyles. 

From Poten-Cee's early ventures to its latest products, the brand consistently showcases a commitment to innovation. Poten-Cee Sugar-Coated which was launched in 1974, was designed with a shell coating to mask the sour taste of Ascorbic acid. This coating with its candy-like taste and appearance, also made the tablet smoother and easier to swallow. 
 
Through the years, Poten-Cee has also formulated adult to pedia variants to suit Filipinos’ diverse needs and preferences:  Ascorbic acid as Sodium Ascorbate (Poten-Cee NA)² and Poten-Cee Plus for adults and children who prefer a vitamin C in non-acidic format³   Ascorbic acid (Poten-Cee Chewable), a convenient format for those who are always on the go  Ascorbic acid (Poten-Cee Forte) 1000 mg with 8-hour time release for those who prefer a higher dose of Vitamin C   Ascorbic acid (Poten-Cee Sugar-Free) for those watching their blood sugar.   

Poten-Cee's Beauty of Immunity 
In 2016, Poten-Cee introduced the tagline “The Beauty of Immunity.”  Aside from Vitamin C helping to fortify immunity which is vital to good health, it is also essential in collagen production to help support healthy skin.  Still in line with this message, PascualLab’s flagship brand launched Poten-Cee + C in 2022.  Poten-Cee + C is a food supplement which combines Vitamin C and Hydrolyzed Collagen.  
 
Poten-Cee Is Fortified  
Among Poten-Cee's newer variants are Poten-Cee + Zn (Ascorbic acid + Zinc) and  
Poten-Cee + Zn Advance (Ascorbic acid + Zinc + Cholecalciferol) which were both launched in 2021. Poten-Cee + ZN combines Vitamin C that supports immunity and Zinc that helps protect cells from viral infections, among other benefits.  Meanwhile Poten-Cee Zn Advance combines active ingredients that play critical roles in immune function, inflammatory response, and collagen synthesis.4-9 

Poten-Cee Is Forging Forward 
This year, as part of the brand’s forging forward, Poten-Cee unveiled a new offering of Poten-Cee + C. Poten-Cee + C Marine Collagen has Sodium Ascorbate (Vitamin C in non-acidic format)³ and Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen sourced from fish. 10 With this introduction, Poten-Cee + C now has options that offer consumers type 1 collagen sourced from fish (marine collagen) and type 2 collagen, from bovine or animal sources (original variant). 

Poten-Cee is Paying Forward 
And to thank Filipino families for all the years of support, Poten-Cee is also paying it forward.  Through the years, Poten-Cee has been making sizeable donations to sectors in need including survivors of the recent Typhoon Carina.

As Poten-Cee celebrates 50 years of providing consumers with trusted Vitamin C products, it wishes to extend its deepest gratitude for the unwavering support given by Filipinos. This has been the cornerstone of its success, inspiring the brand to continually innovate and improve, more so in the years to come. 
 
Poten-Cee is available in all leading drugstores and supermarkets nationwide and at PascualLab’s official TikTok, Shopee, & Lazada stores. Follow us on PotenCee_PH, FB & IG.

UV protection in every bottle of Olay's Regenerist Whip

Good news to everyone who love themselves. Olay Regenerist Whip now comes with UV protection so we can glow all out even under the sun. Did you know that on average, people experience about 18 hours of total sun exposure per week just by doing a regular daily routine? Olay Regenerist Whips UV gives you the freedom to face the sun. Plus, it saves you from the longer skincare prep time in the morning. It is perfect for everyday use, so you don't have an excuse to skip sun protection ever again.


Olay Regenerist Whip now with UV protection to give you freedom to glow all out even under the sun Did you know that on average, people experience about 18 hours of total sun exposure per week just by doing a regular daily routine? Olay research says that this is equivalent to the same amount of sun exposure we get when at the beach. Unfortunately, 1 out of 3 women beg off from using SPF daily because of the sticky texture, especially in the humid Philippine weather. In case you missed out on the big news, UV rays are the cause of sun damage and you can get it whether you’re indoor or outdoor, even during sunny or rainy days. This is exactly why sunscreen is highly recommended to be used every day as there’s no escaping from these UV rays even if the sun is hidden. Olay redefines UV protection with the all-new Whips UV SPF 30 - so you can bid goodbye to your greasy sunscreen and enjoy the double benefit of a hydrated skin and sun protection. This breakthrough facial moisturizer offers the best of both worlds – protection and hydration. Olay Whip SPF 30 shields your skin against the sun’s harmful rays while giving it full, natural coverage. Its lightweight formula gives matte finish which lasts from day to night. The best part about Olay Whips is its unique formulation with Active Rush Technology, which means that this moisturizer holds 1000x its weight in hydration, transforming from cream to liquid at first contact to allow fast absorption with breathable feel. No grease, no stickiness, and no white cast left behind the skin. If you’re obsessed about skincare, then this will seal the deal for you. This moisturizer is packed with tried and tested Olay power ingredients: Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) that boosts cell turnover and strengthens skin barrier for defense against pollution and weather; Advanced Amino-peptide complex for anti-aging benefit for a firmer and a more lifted look; and Hyaluronic Acid which is responsible in retaining the water within your cells so the skin is kept hydrated all day long. Olay Regenerist Whips UV gives you the freedom to face the sun. Plus, it saves you from the longer skincare prep time in the morning. Every time you step out of the house, you don’t need to worry about premature skin aging, and you can simply focus on flaunting your smoother, younger, and shine-free skin – more reasons to glow all out even under the sun. It is perfect for everyday use, so you don't have an excuse to skip sun protection ever again.



Olay Regenerist Whip SPF 30 is available in all major supermarkets, department stores, and drugstores nationwide. Visit Olay Philippines’ Facebook page to learn more about these products.

Discover what’s standing between you and your success in preventing hair loss

There comes a time in your life that you have to stand up and say, “Enough is enough.” And that’s the day when you decide to change your life for the better. Who doesn’t want to become accomplished? Even the “gifted” and brilliant ones have to pay the price so as to realize their goals in life.

When we fail to eat on time, get enough exercise or sleep between seven to nine hours a day, we’re compromising our health and wellness as we reduce the maximum extent that our body must function. Consequently, the effects in our body may extend and manifest as early warning signs of hair loss.

Take it from celebrity beauty and salon expert Fanny “TF” Serrano, who once personally experienced such an ordeal. For him, avoiding harsh synthetic solutions and choosing to use the right products with natural ingredients is a must and still the best way to deal with mane problems like losing or thinning of the hair. 

With this in mind, embracing natural healthy lifestyle is so important to achieve optimal health, best physical condition and healthy full head of hair. Health products made out of natural ingredients are way effective for better healing and maintaining our body’s lifelong function than those of synthetic ones. Rather than investing in those branded shampoos or other hair treatments, there’s a natural way to help arrest hair loss and help remedy its four early symptoms, namely, excessive hair shedding, thinning hair, receding hair line, and bald patches. This is none other than NOVUHAIR, nature’s answer to hair loss.

Philippine Popstar Royalty Sarah Geronimo launches ‘affordable’ makeup line.

Philippine Popstar Royalty Sarah Geronimo launches ‘affordable’ make-up line in an event organized by online e-commerce platform Shopee held at the Kia Theatre on May 31, 2019.


Sarah Geronimo has always envisioned herself having her own business.  She considers this launch of her own make up line as a dream come true. She personally hand-picked everything from its individual content down to its design up to its packaging.


If you'll look closely, her make-up up line has a musical note embossed on each items. Showing her love for music. One can safely conclude that music greatly influenced her make-up line designs.

One of the emcee told Sarah that he'd buy Sarah's make-up line to which Sarah G replied: "Ako ng bahala sayo, bibigyan ka lang namin. Kung pwede ko lang silang bigyan lahat. Pero guys, pabayaan niyo naman akong bumisness," Sarah Geronimo said in jest. 

Sarah Geronimo's army of Popsters showed their love and support to Sarah by purchasing her cosmetics line called Pop Studio which was being sold for Php1, 999 per set. 

“Trend kasi siya ngayon. And ever since mahilig talaga ako magmakeup. I enjoy doing my own makeup ‘pag meron akong personal na lakad. Actually ‘pag nagmi-makeup kami ng makeup artist ko medyo pakialamera ako. Palaging collaborative,” said the Kapamilya singer/actress. 


Geronimo then went on to thank the people who supported her in pursuing what she always wanted to do, saying: "I’m happy na ganun ka-supportive ang glam team ko. At ganun din ka-supportive ang manager ko si Boss Vic (Del Rosario). So ayun buti na lang meron kaming mga industry experts who helped us in producing itong makeup line namin na Pop Studio.”

Sarah revealed that she made sure she had a say in all aspects of the brand as she wanted not only her fans to enjoy it but also herself as well.

“Definitely. May consultant din kami na makeup artists so very important na hands-on ako kasi nga gusto ko ‘yung ibebenta namin na produkto ‘yung talagang ginagamit ko rin - ‘yung ma-eenjoy kong gamitin hindi lang ‘yung mga customers natin," she quips. 

BUDGET FRIENDLY



Meanwhile, the Popstar Royalty revealed what makes the products from her line of cosmetics worthy of every centavo.

“We made sure kasi na very relatable. ’Yung talagang magagamit nila for their everyday look. ‘Yung day time puwede din pang-night time. Meron pang fresh look lang. Tapos merong glam look at night. So kumbaga tinatawag namin siyang two-in-one. So dual purpose siya kumbaga," the 30-year-old singer/ actress said. 


Asked what fans can expect from her now that she’s part of the Shopee family, she said: “Marami. Maraming surprises. Abangan po ninyo. I’m happy na I’m helping Shopee promote ‘yung kanilang biggest lowest price sale. 6.6-7.7. It will start on June 3 to July 7.”

Some of the products from Sarah Geronimo’s makeup line include the following :

  • primer
  • makeup sponges
  • brushes
  • blush with contour
  • day and night eyeshadow palette
  • brow pencil with mascara
  • foundation stick with liquid concealer

The Hopeful Romantic trailer goes viral; reaches 9.6 million views

The Hopeful Romantic trailer goes viral; reaches 9.6 million views



The official trailer of the upcoming sexy romantic comedy film, The Hopeful Romantic has gone viral as it has reached a remarkable 9.6 million views on Facebook in less than three weeks since it was launched.

If anything, the virality of the trailer to organic Facebook users indicates a positive reception from netizens. As of today, the trailer has now reached 108,000 shares, 14,000 positive comments on Good Time Fan Page.

"Ayos 'yo ah, basta hindi gwapong aktor tapos ganito 'yung concept na movie, siguradong papatok."

"Mas gusto ko ganitong movie. Matatawa ka na maiiyak. Mas nakaka-inlove ang ganito at nakaka-excite!"

Starring theatre/TV/movie actor, Pepe Herrera and actress Ritz Azul, The Hopeful Romantic offers not just an entertaining love story, but also aims to impart an important lesson about love.

Ritz, who gets to be launched in this film as a leading lady, beams with pride about this project.

“Sobrang proud ako sa pelikulang ito kasi lahat pinaghirapan namin: ng direktor, producers, writers, at syempre co-actors ko na pinagpuyatan.

“Nakailang revisions kami para mapaganda ang story, para maihatid yung message ng story na may matutunan sila. Tsaka maganda ang storya, kapupulutan talaga siya ng aral.
The actress had to face a lot of challengers for this movie.

Firstly, Ritz, who is more comfortable with drama, ventures into comedy in The Hopeful Romantic.

Secondly, she had to lose weight to effectively portray her role as a sexy gold digger.
“Ang mahirap lang for me, physically, dapat medyo mukhang sexy don sa screen, so nag-struggle din ako to lose weight, kasi sobrang lumaki ako for a while before gawin yung movie.

“And then nahirapan ako kasi sobrang kabaligtaran ko ang role sa totoong buhay. Naging kumportable ako sa mga katrabaho ko, kaya napa-swimsuit ako."

Meantime, Pepe, who is a very talented singer-actor, finally gets to be a lead star in this film.

The versatile actor takes pride in saying that he gets to explore comedy genre through a sexy movie.

Pepe admits that he felt pressured that he would finally be a leading man in this project.
Fortunately, Ritz made his job easier for him.
"Ang masasabi ko po ay lalaki din ako at nakakaramdam ng karupukam. Si Ritz ay very desirable 110%."

“Kasi kinabahan ako nung una dahil sinasabihan ako, ‘Leading man ka na, kailangan tutukan mo yung panunuyo o kung paano tratuhin ang leading ladies.’  Parang siya [Ritz] pa yung gumagawa non para sa kin. Cowboy si Ritz. Hindi siya tipikal na leading lady.

“Sa shooting ka, sanay kasi siya na i-maximize yung oras. Walang nasasayang na oras.”
In the meantime, Ritz is happy to learn important lessons from Pepe as an actor.

“Sobrang gaan katrabaho ni Pepe. Sobrang professional. Tsaka parang nung nagsu-shoot kami, merong connection. Habang nandon kami sa characters naming, minsan kahit mata lang, nag-uusap na ganon.

“Sobrang ang pinakanatutunan ko sa kanya, hindi siya titigil sa take, kahit paulit-ulit pa yan para mapaganda yung scene,” she says.

In the Hopeless Romantic, Pepe plays Jess, a 33 year old Valet Parking Attendant at The Manila Hotel, an honest man and most of all, a virgin. He promised himself that he will only give himself when he already found his true love.

Veronica, (played by Ritz), is a kept woman in the high society world. A victim of circumstances, but still a survivor.
Jess meets Veronica at the hotel bar. Instantly, he gets mesmerized by her presence. One thing lead to another, and Veronica gave Jess the “first time”. Jess, believing in the magic of what happened between them, decides that Veronica is his one true love.

However, there is one problem; Veronica has no idea that he is not rich. Afraid that revealing himself will make him lose Veronica, Jess starts to pretend the part. He kept on doing this until his resources spill away. The inevitable happens, and Veronica learns the truth about Jess.

Tagged as the sexy comedian, The Hopeful Romantic is the first film of Pepe in a lead role.
The Hopeful Romantic opens September 12, 2018. The funniest romantic flim of the season is directed by Topel Lee.

To thank all our users for their continued support, we extended this year’s Shopee 9.9 Super Shopping Day to feature almost two weeks of non-stop promotions across all product categories. We have also continued to strengthen our ties with leading brands and partners to bring our users even more exclusive deals and promotions on Shopee,” said Terence Pang, Chief Operating Officer of Shopee.


Super savings on super themed days


Starting 30 August, users can participate in a 11-day shopping marathon, featuring different back-to-back themed days every 24 hours in the lead up to the peak of Shopee 9.9 Super Shopping Day on 9 September. Users can also look forward to free shipping with lowered minimum spend every day during this period. Key highlights include Super Flash Sale Day on August 30 featuring flash deals as low as ₱99 happening nine times over the course of the day; and Super Vouchers Day on 3 September with a total of over ₱900,000 worth of vouchers to be redeemed.
