Skin science made simple: What to expect at Watsons’ Skin Solutions event at SM MOA

Published Oct 22, 2026 6:20 pm Add PhilSTAR Life on Google

Skincare can be overwhelming. With countless products promising clearer, smoother and healthier-looking skin, figuring out which ones are right for you can feel like trial and error. But understanding your skin is a good place to start.

Watsons is bringing that approach to the forefront through its Skin Solutions event at SM Mall of Asia, running until Oct. 25. 

Now in its second year of partnership with the Philippine Dermatological Society (PDS), the initiative brings together dermatological expertise, skin analysis and a range of skincare products in one accessible destination.

The event builds on Watsons’ three-year Derm Skin campaign, which promotes accessible, dermatologist-backed skincare and encourages consumers to make more informed choices about their skin health.

Following its launch at SM City Clark on Oct. 1, the SM MOA activation gives visitors the opportunity to learn more about their skin, consult with dermatologists and explore products suited to their individual needs.

Here are four reasons to check it out.

1. Get to know your skin

Before adding another product to your skincare shelf, it helps to understand what your skin needs. At the Skin Solutions space, visitors can undergo a complimentary skin analysis using a machine designed to scan and map the skin. 

The assessment offers insights into its current condition, helping consumers make more informed decisions about their skincare routines.

Rather than following every new trend or buying products based on recommendations alone, the experience encourages a more targeted approach to skincare.

2. Consult with dermatology experts

For those with questions about persistent skin concerns or their current routines, the event also offers complimentary one-on-one consultations with PDS dermatologists.

The consultations bring access to skin experts into a familiar retail setting, giving visitors an opportunity to discuss their concerns and receive professional guidance.

While the experience can help consumers better understand their skincare needs, persistent, worsening or medically concerning skin conditions may still require a full consultation at a dermatology clinic.

3. Explore products at the Skin Science Carousel

Once visitors have a better understanding of their skin, they can head to the Skin Science Carousel, a dedicated space where they can sit down, explore different formulations and experience selected products firsthand.

Being able to see and feel products before purchasing can make the process less intimidating, particularly for consumers navigating unfamiliar ingredients, textures and formulations.

It also offers an opportunity to ask questions and consider which products may fit their routines.

4. Discover skincare options from trusted brands

The Skin Solutions activation features a range of participating skincare and personal care brands, offering options for different skin concerns and preferences.

These include Cetaphil for sensitive skin, Celeteque for derma-tested formulations, Avène for soothing care, Physiogel for skin barrier support, Dr. G for targeted skincare, Target Pro by Watsons for clinical-inspired care, Aveeno for soothing nourishment, Neutrogena for skincare solutions, Dr. O for specialized skin needs, Oilatum and ROSKEN for dry skin care and moisture support, CeraVe for ceramide-based hydration, Dermabar for specialized cleansing bars, and Vaseline for skin protection. CLEAR also offers products focused on scalp care.

Visitors can explore the participating brands alongside the event’s interactive booths, promotions, exclusive discounts and gifts with purchase, subject to applicable terms and availability.

Make your next skincare decision an informed one

Skincare is not simply about keeping up with trends or building an elaborate routine. It begins with understanding your skin, choosing appropriate products and knowing when to seek professional advice.

Watsons’ Skin Solutions event at SM Mall of Asia runs until Oct. 25, giving shoppers an opportunity to explore these fundamentals while discovering products that may suit their needs.
