Before you buy that serum…
Read this on why expert advice matters more than hype
In the world of skincare, the temptation to try every trending product on your feed is real. We’ve all been there, adding serums, switching cleansers, and layering creams in the hope of finding that holy grail. But the truth is, too much trial and error can do more harm than good. If you really want results that last (and don’t wreck your skin barrier in the process), seeking the advice of a dermatologist is the smartest first step.
“Skincare is not just cosmetic—it’s also all about health,” said Dr. Jennie Francisco-Diaz, founder and medical director of Skin 101. “With the right guidance, patients can avoid trial-and-error and discover what truly works for their skin.”
That statement couldn’t be more relevant today. Skincare is more than just a vanity project: it’s science, self-care, and health rolled into one. And when you have expert-backed solutions, you not only save yourself time and money, but also the stress of dealing with breakouts or irritation from random product experiments.
This was the very message at “Beauty Lab: The Science of Modern Beauty,” an exclusive event hosted by DMark Beauty at Blackbird at the Nielson Tower. Known for bringing world-class skincare to the Philippines, DMark Beauty has always been at the forefront of innovation while working hand in hand with board-certified dermatologists to make sure Filipinos get access to clinically validated solutions.
The event showcased Cantabria Labs, a Spanish dermatological powerhouse and one of Europe’s most trusted names in skin health. For nearly two decades, Cantabria Labs and DMark Beauty have been partners in championing science-driven skincare. During the event, Cantabria Labs introduced six advanced product lines, each designed for specific concerns: Iraltone for hair vitality, Heliocare for advanced sun protection, Endocare for skin regeneration, Biretix for acne-prone skin, Neoretin for pigment correction, and Skin Resist, a new frontier in skin barrier defense.
“DMark Beauty has always believed in bringing only the best skin health solutions to the Philippines,” shared Nikki Tang, CEO and Beautypreneur. “Our collaboration with dermatologists and our alliance with Cantabria Labs have been instrumental in that mission. These products aren’t just formulas—they’re tools that empower both patients and skin experts to create visible, lasting change.”
Cantabria Labs is widely respected for its breakthroughs in photoprotection, anti-aging, and dermocosmetics, making them a go-to recommendation by skin experts worldwide. As Leticia Rúa Tavira, International Product Manager of Cantabria Labs, said “We take pride in seeing our technologies make a real difference in Filipino skincare. Our partnership with DMark Beauty is built on shared values which are scientific excellence, integrity, and deep respect for dermatologists and the vital role they play in patient care.”
With the right dermatologist and products trusted by skin experts, your routine stops being a guessing game and starts being a real investment in your skin health and self-confidence.
