We Bet You’ll Glow Up with These 7 Filipino Skincare Brands

Skincare products run aplenty in the Philippine market, from tried-and-true sunscreens of Japanese brands Biore, Shiseido, and Canmake, affordable yet effective cleansers and toners from Korean labels Innisfree and Cosrx to the holy grail serums and solutions of Canada-based The Ordinary, among many others.
But while we're fans of some of these brands, we're also lovers of anything local. When it comes to skincare and beauty, we can confidently say that the Philippines isn't that far behind thanks to the myriad of homegrown skincare and beauty brands who've brought their A game from the get-go.
Don't sleep on local. Here are seven Filipino skincare brands we love and that we believe you should, too.
