The secret to Donny Pangilinan’s pimple-free, clear skin

Healthy and glowing skin is a goal that transcends gender. While skincare routines have often been associated with women, the truth is that men can benefit just as much from a diligent regimen. In a world where self-care is becoming increasingly important, taking care of the skin should be a priority for everyone.

One such advocate for breaking down these stereotypes is Donny Pangilinan. An actor and athlete, the Gen Z heartthrob understands the significance of maintaining healthy skin, regardless of gender.

Donny Pangilinan recognizes the importance of maintaining healthy skin regardless of gender.

Pangilinan played Bottle Flip with a lucky shopper at Watsons Store North Edsa.

“That's true, a lot of times skincare is associated with women, but I think that shouldn't be the stereotype. I know men should also take care of their skin, and there's nothing wrong with doing that because you're caring for yourself and [you bring your] face and body to meet people every day,” Pangilinan said in an interview.

“In my case, I have to be in front of the camera. Just being able to know that your skin is healthy and you're ready to take on the day, especially if it's this hot or the environment is not so clean, at least you know you're making sure you're on track. I think we should break the stereotype that only girls should do skincare. Everyone should be taking care of their skin because it's also very healthy to do so,” he added.

As good-looking as the 25-year-old Kapamilya star is, Pangilinan is prone to having pimples or acne. Though unbelievable to most, he says he sometimes feels unsure about his skin and loses confidence.

“Right now, because I'm also taking protein shake and stuff, [pimples] come out more often. And like today, we ended our shoot at like 3 a.m. But I still try my best to take care of my skin. I try to follow a morning routine. Sunscreen, moisturizing, and then make up for work,” he shared. “So yes, acne really affects my self-esteem, especially when I know I'm going to have to see a lot of people [during a breakout], but that's part of life. You have to accept it happens [whether due to age or stress] so you should also be open to products that will help you reduce it,” Pangilinan advised.

Finally revealing his secret to keeping his skin looking nice, Pangilinan declared, “QUICKFX and the Pimple Eraser kit do wonders for me.”

Now the brand's official ambassador, Pangilinan explained at his launch on Wednesday, “Pimple Eraser products are super essential to me, especially when it comes to maintaining my skin because, like I said, I am always in front of the camera. Plus I love doing a lot of outdoor activities – running 10 km a day, biking, so I'm always on the go. That's why Pimple Eraser is the secret.”

QUICKFX is a brand under Descorp, a key player in beauty and wellness in the Philippines. QUICKFX was founded with the vision of becoming one of the most innovative players in the industry via products like Pimple Eraser. A leading name when it comes to acne care, it has been popular in the market for over 10 years.

At Pangilinan's launch, fans and Watsons shoppers alike were thrilled to see him at the SM North Edsa branch. He mingled with crowds of delighted customers, highlighting the extensive range of Pimple Eraser products and even giving out some skincare education and doing sales himself.

The “Can You Catch Donny?” campaign highlights the well-known and trending reputation of QUICKFX for efficacy, captured in the tagline, “Pimple Eraser – so fast.”

“I'm so happy to be part of team QUICKFX. I'm also so excited to share the best products that will definitely address your skin concerns,” Pangilinan beamed.

Pimple Eraser, in the last years, introduced a number of innovations that have landed top-selling spots in the category. The favorite and “OG” (original) Pimple Eraser Cream has long been a go-to for treating breakouts.

Pangilinan's brand new ads, however, also feature the Recovery Concentrate for fading dark spots and acne marks; Spot Patches that are engineered with a microneedle technology to flatten big pimples fast; and the most recent Body Spray, designed to clear acne from chest and back areas.

Pangilinan also debuted the brand's new QUICKFX Pimple Eraser Essentials Kit, a limited edition pouch containing all the best sellers at full size for just P899.

Countless fans and Pimple Eraser loyalists have since enjoyed the rare chance to not only meet and greet but also snap selfies with Pangilinan throughout the just concluded promo. Given the crowds, it doesn't come as a surprise that the campaign's aim to garner the highest cumulative spend on QUICKFX Pimple Eraser products purchased exclusively at Watsons stores and Watsons online was achieved.

Supporters of both the actor and the brand happily took home the limited edition kids, signed by Pangilinan on the spot as a special treat.

“We are so amazed by the outpour of love and support for Donny as our brand ambassador. We are very thankful to have him onboard. It's an exciting start of a collaboration between Donny and QUICKFX, and we look forward to a more fruitful partnership going,” Frances Jabeguero, brand and innovations lead, remarked.

Formulated in Korea, Pimple Eraser products are made with using only quality effective ingredients, promising fast results.
