Francine Diaz has access to a great deal of beauty and skincare products out there in the market. But for some reason, the young actress was risk-averse in trying different products on her skin, especially on her fair underarms, until recently.

As the new face behind the Real Perfection line of beauty products, including its “deo-glow” spray and underarm and bikini area night rescue serum, Francine has conquered her fears, saying she has found the ideal underarm care product for her sensitive skin.

“I just received the product and during the few times I’ve tried it, I’d say it has become my favorite,” she said in mix of Filipino and English. “For someone who doesn’t use a lot of products for my underarms, because I’m afraid to try, especially if I’m not familiar with the brand, I’d say Real Perfection is different. This one is now my friend. It’s really a trustworthy brand.”

Because of her killer schedule, Francine was also thankful to Real Perfection for coming up with certain products that are multi-purpose. Products, she added, that you could just grab and go.

“Especially if you travel a lot, it’s difficult to bring a lot of stuff with you,” she said. Products like Real Perfection’s underarm and bikini night rescue serum, for instance, is a two-in-one product that helps a girlie-girl like her have it all.

As the beauty line’s most prominent brand ambassador, Francine recently graced Real Perfection’s launch at the grand ballroom of the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Bonifacio Global City. She was welcomed by, among others, owner Cat Goitia, co-owner Maricor Monton Flores, Dr. Sharae Chua and brand consultant Karel Marquez-Fariñas. The event was also graced by a few influencers, including Chole San Jose, the girlfriend of two-time 2024 Paris Olympics gold medalist Carlos Yulo.

“Francine is the perfect ambassador for our brand,” said Karel, who’s also an actress and commercial model. “She resonates with a lot of younger women. As a public figure, she embodies what Real Perfection is all about. Everyone just loves her. She is an ideal match to our brand and a match also to our underarm products, which she uses already. I’m happy that she is part of us.”

For her part, Cat said in a statement: “We aim to be the skincare brand for all. Real Perfection was founded on the promise of promoting real and tangible results towards the pillars of skin whitening, anti-aging, eradication of common and complex skin problems, as well as maintain radiant skin health.

“With our carefully crafted formulas and ‘ladderized’ step-by-step process, our brand aims to cater to all skin types regardless of factors and elements that affect health and well-being.”

Cat added that the Real Perfection line is more than just a skincare brand. It’s a commitment to excellence, innovation and integrity.

“We are dedicated to helping our customers achieve their skincare goals with products they can trust, all while contributing to a more sustainable and ethical world,” she said

Dr. Sharae Chua, who specializes in aesthetic medicine, also happens to be Real Perfection’s resident consultant for all its products. She earlier gave a presentation of each of the brand’s product lines and the various natural and proven ingredients each line uses to address specific skin and beauty concerns.

Such concerns include Real Perfection Acnefense Set, Glow Booster Set, Skin Rescue Set, Advanced Rosy Peel Set, and the Retinol Booster Set. These sets incorporate such potent and effective ingredients as glycerin, niacinamide, tea tree oil, papaya fruit extract, oligopeptides 10, among others. Each set also comes with soap, toner, serum and moisturizer to address various skin concerns.

“No matter what your skin concern is, each Real Perfection set is really safe, especially if you have sensitive skin,” Sharae assured. “You can mix it up without the need to consult your dermatologist. I and Ms. Cor were actively involved in the different products’ formulation.”

Real Perfection products are currently available online, but Cat Goitia and the rest of her team promise to make the products more accessible to everyone in the coming months.
