The Gen Z Filipina’s skin problem checklist: what to look out for and what you can do to prevent them
What more can a fab Gen Z ask for than clear, healthy, and glowing skin?
With the rise of #SkinTok and trends like the clean girl aesthetic, you’ve got Gen Z girlies looking all over for ways to get and maintain a flawless and youthful glow. Gone are the days when full-face makeup is in, because what slays now is a fresh and minimalistic look with skin that makes you feel confidently gorgeous.
But the road to flawless skin isn’t free of bumps—literally. From pimples to dark spots, here are 3 common skin issues that may get in your way of achieving your dream glow-up—and how the new skincare brand, Maxi, can help you address them for a smooth-sailing journey to clear and beautiful skin that brings you more confidence to face the world!
Stubborn breakouts
Imagine this: You’ve got the perfect OOTD, your eyebrows are on fleek, your good hair day is going strong—and then you spot an attention-catching, raging red zit on your face. Big yikes, right?
To many Gen Z Filipinas, acne is the public enemy number one when it comes to achieving flawless skin. Pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, papules—you name it; these are all forms of acne and they show up on your skin when your pores are clogged from excess oil or sebum production, build-up of dead skin cells, and even ingrown hairs.
In your teenage years, you’re also more prone to this big bummer skin issue due to hormonal changes. Other major culprits for acne are bacteria and fungi, which further highlights the importance of proper cleansing in your skincare routine.
Speaking of skincare, go for products that offer oil control and help unclog your pores to prevent acne breakouts. And if you already spot a zit? Repeat after us: Do not pop it. Ever.
Learn your lesson from every panicked girlie who popped their zit and made it look even worse. Instead, let skincare products with ingredients like salicylic acid work their magic in drying out your pimples.
Uneven skin tone
Dark spots, acne scars, hyperpigmentation—these can all contribute to an uneven skin tone, which can be a roadblock to your dream glow-up. Some of these blemishes can have natural causes like aging or hormones, while others show up due to sun damage or improper pimple care.
Beauty products with brightening and soothing ingredients like niacinamide are what you need to avoid or solve these discolorations and uneven complexion. Protecting your skin with broad-spectrum sunscreen is also a must—not just in deflecting sun damage or skin issues from UV rays, but also in keeping your skin healthy and moisturized.
Dull and lifeless skin
Your tiredness from the daily hustle and bustle can reflect on your skin, making it look blah instead of fab and vibrant. Along with factors like inadequate sleep and lack of exercise, common reasons that make your skin look dull and lifeless are dryness and build-up of dead skin cells. Thus, gentle exfoliation and replenishing your skin’s moisture go a long way in bringing back its healthy, youthful glow and smooth texture.
Your new skincare saviors
To help you address these common skin concerns, Maxi is here with innovative and dermatologically tested skincare solutions featuring the right ingredients for effective results. This includes the Maxi 2-in-1 Cleanser + Toner and Maxi Beauty Astringent—your new holy grail products for achieving clear, smooth, and blemish-free skin.
The new Maxi 2-in-1 Cleanser + Toner is a breakthrough 2-in-1 product from Maxi that combines the dirt and oil-removing powers of a cleanser and the moisturizing and pore-reducing capabilities of a toner. It comes in two variants: first is the Maxi Pimple Clearing 2-in-1 Cleanser + Toner which features 1% Salicylic Acid for drying pimples, and the second is the Maxi Whitening 2-in-1 Cleanser + Toner with 2% Niacinamide to help whiten skin. With their specialized active ingredients, both variants deliver results in as fast as 2 days.
For social media-savvy skincare girlies, salicylic acid may already be a familiar name as a fan-favorite ingredient among pimple-clearing skincare products. This beta-hydroxy acid (also called BHA) reduces acne by gently exfoliating and dissolving dead skin cells that may clog your pores. Aside from harnessing salicylic acid’s powers to dry up present pimples and unclog the pores to prevent future pimples, the Maxi Pimple Clearing 2-in-1 Cleanser + Toner also helps fade pimple marks from your previous breakouts to keep your skin smooth and clear.

Meanwhile, the Maxi Whitening 2-in-1 Cleanser + Toner’s active ingredient, niacinamide, is a popular type of Vitamin B3 that helps lighten dark spots and reduce redness and inflammation from acne and other skin issues. This makes the Maxi Whitening 2-in-1 Cleanser + Toner effective for keeping your skin brighter and blemish-free.

Both of these powerful active ingredients can also be found in the amazing Maxi Super Whitening Beauty Astringent, a whitening beauty superstar that deserves a spot in your daily skincare routine.
