Barbie Imperial’s secret to an effortless glow starts with 'Step Zero'
With packed schedules and less time for elaborate skincare regimens, skincare routines are now evolving with more people prioritizing simplicity. But simplifying doesn’t mean compromising skin quality, it means learning what the essentials are that really make a difference.
It’s about making smart choices, and for Barbie Imperial, who juggles a demanding schedule of shoots and other commitments, this change makes perfect sense. She maintains a radiant, healthy look that she can confidently share with the world. And her secret? An effective but uncomplicated skincare routine.
As the first ever Philippines ambassador of Belotero® Revive launching with the campaign, “The Art of Hydration,” she highlights the benefits that come with “Step Zero” to unlock the true essence of your skin. Belotero® Revive lays the foundation for skin that is hydrated, glowing, and bright.
A first of its kind dermal filler, it combines glycerol with cross-linked hyaluronic acid to improve all aspects of skin quality. It enhances skin elasticity, firmness, refined texture, and evens out skin tone. Unlike topical skincare, it goes straight into your skin and works from within, ensuring long-lasting hydration for up to 9 months and delivers hydration in a way no other product can.

“Perfect for addressing common skin concerns like dryness, dehydration, and treating early signs of photodamage skin caused by chronic sun exposure, Belotero® Revive elevates skin quality and confidence so you can bare your skin with ease,” shares Dr. Ting Song Lim, Medical Director of Clique Clinic in Malaysia and one of the guest speakers at the launch. “The hyaluronic acid allows for seamless integration into the skin for a natural look, while glycerol actively maintains its hydration and promotes the production of stabilizing substances to improve skin quality.”
Barbie’s glow-to skin boost
As someone who values efficiency without compromising results, Barbie Imperial considers Belotero® Revive as her new go-to for a skin boost. At a recent launch event, Barbie was joined by other Revive Bare Your Glow Beauties who shared their feedback after experiencing Belotero® Revive.
She reveals, “It’s really become the essential step for my skincare. It keeps it hydrated and refreshed from the inside out, and because of it, it’s already simplified my everyday makeup routine. My skin already looks and feels amazing.”

Barbie shares that she only found out about Belotero® Revive from Dr. Aivee and Dr. Teo, attending the Aivee x Revive event with her fellow Aivee Leaguers last May 2024. “I got curious about the product, and it really seemed like a good idea because I don’t really like using multiple skincare products. I’m all for minimum effort and maximum beauty!”
Barbie recalls that Dr. Aivee Teo said that “It’s really important to take care of ourselves before ageing starts.” Dr. Aivee not only advocates for healthy and youthful skin, but also shares the need to take pre-emptive steps to support our skin’s well-being. Dr. Z Teo mentioned last May 2024, that, “Prejuvenation means you do it before things happen!” While there are numerous treatments in the market to provide skin rejuvenation, the best way to be prepared against wrinkles, laxity, sagging and texture is to have skin boosting treatments like Belotero® Revive.

Belotero® Revive is gaining attention for its ability to provide natural-looking results with visible improvements in skin hydration and smoothness. It is especially appreciated for its ability to restore youthful glow to the skin, making it look refreshed and rejuvenated. Many patients who have used it report feeling satisfied with results, with some praising its subtle yet noticeable effects. The product’s growing popularity is a testament to its effectiveness in the realm of aesthetic treatments.

The art of skinimalism and prejuvenation
Belotero® Revive sits at the heart of the skinimalism and prejuvenation philosophy of Merz Aesthetics® that efficiently achieves optimal skin quality. Understanding how today’s beauty-conscious consumers seek preventative treatments that maintain their youthful, natural-looking skin before the signs of aging appear, this treatment offers a non-invasive way to achieve a no-filter glow without extensive routines.
According to Dr. Lee Kok Siang, Marketing and Business Director of Dr. Ko Skin Specialist, Malaysia, also a guest speaker at “The Art of Hydration” launch, “What makes Belotero® Revive so effective is that it gives natural looking results and lays the groundwork for a very simple yet effective skincare routine, all while ensuring a minimal downtime of just 5-7 days.”

Consumers are seeking new techniques to simplify their skincare routine, such as products that improve skin firmness and hydration and ensure overall skin health and radiance.
