I've been receiving a lot of beauty products from Althea Korea, thanks to the exclusive group Althea Angels which gave us the chance to review different products, may it be for skin care or for make up. This time, let me share with you some of the items that were sent to me a few months ago:


First off, let's start with their Petal Velvet Sunaway: It is an ultra lightweight, invisible sunscreen that shield's your skin from the sun's rays and also ensures that your skin is hydrated and fresh, without any streaks or white cast that are usually seen when other sunscreens are applied.

Petal Velvet Sunaway - P480.00

The Petal Velvet Sunaway contains hyaluronic acid and damask rose extracts that causes the skin to stay hydrated and it also has an SPF of 50 + PA +++ that acts as your face's shield from the sun's rays. Lastly, it has micro-powder particles that gives your face a smooth and petal-like complexion.


Although, this is not my favorite sunscreen due to its scent and it made my face sticky and greasy due to my oily skin. To avoid this from happening, you need to partner this with any of these cuties: the Petal Velvet Powder Collection.


The Petal Velvet Powder comes in 2 shades: Translucent and Warm Beige. Luckily, I was able to try a special edition shade, which is the Pink Lavender.


It comes in a cute packaging that contains 3g of the product and a thick, fluffy puff. This product is a translucent powder that sets makeup and leaves behind a silky finish to the touch. It contains oil from Althea seeds that helps keep the sebum production on hold but doesn't dry out the skin, resulting to a radiant, fresh look which is perfect for someone like me who has an oily T-zone. I also love the smell of this powder especially the lavender.

Next product is the Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser. From its name, you would know that it is a serum and a cleanser in one product which makes it a great makeup, dirt and oil remover plus it keeps your face cool and hydrated. It also prevents the skin from drying out and the best part is it promises to effectively minimize enlarged pores for a smoother face.

Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser - P430.00

It is very simple to use, just dampen your face and put a small amount of the product onto your face. Massage it in a circular motion for 5-10 seconds then rinse it off with water. I tried this and it effectively removed the dirt on my face even after I just finished washing my face.

Lastly, Althea just launched a product in collaboration with Indonesian actress and singer, Titi Kamal which is the Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist. It is a sparkling mix of sweet orange and peach followed by an ever graceful echo of rosy floral notes. I love that it doesn't have a strong scent which makes it great as an everyday mist  plus it is long-lasting that it can keep me smelling fresh on my 12hr duty.

(Manila, Philippines) A strong follow up from its 2018 #TouchOfCare video, Vicks once again releases another true-to-life story on the transformative power of care, to celebrate the extraordinary stories of the people who have lived it by their actions. This time, it centers on a child infected with HIV and a woman whose love and care paved way for the transformation of both their lives. This is a powerful story that aims to challenge current beliefs, social norms, definitions, and stereotypes; a bold move aimed to address issues on discrimination.

Vicks, a brand synonymous with Generations of Care globally, continues its mission on transforming people’s lives with the power of care with the belief that it is Care that makes a family, and not the other way around. The brand’s #TouchOfCare campaign brings to the surface societal taboos and sheds light on them to inspire change in perspectives and preconceived biases. It reveals how anybody with a loving touch of care has the capability to transform another person’s life.

“The purpose of the Vicks brand is rooted in care. With our #TouchOfCare campaign, we aim to share stories where people have transformed lives of others through their extraordinary acts of care. The story of “Agnes” was one such story which just needed to be told. We hope the campaign inspires more people to transform lives and transcend social norms, definitions and stereotypes through their own acts of care.”
- Akhilesh Negi, P&G Brand Director Healthcare APAC


The 4-minute video heroes a child who was born with HIV infection. When his mom died from the disease, the 4-month old was handed by his immediate family to Agnes, his mom’s friend. Captured in the story is how Agnes later on found out about the child’s condition, and instead of turning away from the unexpectedly difficult situation, she committed to raise him and showered him with love and care. It was the start of a beautiful life transformation for the two; revealing how Agnes fought for child’s life against all ridicule and discrimination from the people around them. Today, with Agnes’ unfaltering love and care, the child is 4 years old and his HIV infection lays dormant in his body.

“With the Touch of Care campaign, we are passionate about telling powerful stories of love. The story of Agnes just grabbed us from the start and we felt this moving tale of mother and son, amidst their challenges, was something we want to share with the world. This is the power of care that Vicks celebrates, for when you choose it, you have a hand in transforming another person’s life and make it better.”
- Lester Estrada, P&G Philippines Marketing Director

Vicks believes that sharing Agnes’ story will create a ripple effect that inspires people to look past the current beliefs, social norms, definitions, and stereotypes placed on people, and ultimately creates a transformative power of care. The brand also wants to create societal awareness for children born with HIV in order to change society’s beliefs and perspectives towards them. Vicks is committed to amplifying inspiring stories that show the transformation of human lives when people give a touch of care.

“While brands have the power to lead conversations and influence culture, it is ordinary people in their everyday lives who actually inspire these brands to reflect relevant realities in our advertising. This extraordinary ability of a person to transcend every imaginable boundary to feel and care for another life, another human being, continues to be the inspiration for Vicks’ "Touch of Care" campaign across multiple geographies. To celebrate the lives, amplify the stories and support our everyday heroines and heroes is a privilege for our brand.”
- Ajay Vikram, Publicis Singapore Chief Creative Officer, Global Clients

Vicks has partnered with Project Red Ribbon (a partner of Department of Health - National AIDS/STI Prevention and Control Program and is associated with the World Health Organization and UNAIDS). This partnership aims to give the same love and care seen in the film to the children under the “Duyan Project”. “Duyan”, a Filipino noun which means “cradle”, aims to provide care and support to children with HIV in the Philippines. Through the said program, they will be given care, love and attention, to improve their quality of life until they are once again healthy and can go back to school.

Looking for a great peeling mask that delivers to its promise to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells but does it in a very gentle way unlike other peeling masks? Well, you might want to try Althea Korea's newest exclusive product, the Milk Peel Cream Mask.

It comes in this minimalist packaging with a cute nozzle at the top. A bottle contains 50ml of the product, which is cream based and then changes to a soft bubbly/foamy consistency when applied on the face.


What's great about this product is that, not only does it contain AHA & BHA which gently exfoliates dead skin cells to achieve a smooth complexion, but it also has Milk protein extract that moisturizes and strengthens the skin and Kaolin that detoxifies and pulls out impurities from the pores.


To use the Milk Peel Cream Mask, just dampen your face and apply an even layer onto your face, then massage it until a rich lather forms. Leave it on for 30-60 seconds before rinsing away with warm water.


What I love about this product is that it is very quick to use, especially for a busy girl like me, plus it doesn't have that sting that I get from other peeling masks. It doesn't have a weird smell and it definitely made my skin feel supple after use. Thos product is truly something worth recommending.
