Stories Beyond the Surface

Community is at the heart of Aveeno’s #SensitiveSkinWontStopUs campaign—which casts the spotlight on real sensitive skin stories and testimonies. By creating a safe space for people to share experiences and connect with others, Aveeno hopes to dispel common skincare myths and empower everyone to embrace their skin with pride.

Aveeno Marketing Manager Ira Santos puts it best, “At Aveeno, we believe sensitive skin shouldn’t hold anyone back. Whether you’re pushing limits as an athlete, juggling family life, pursuing your passion, or chasing deadlines at work—your skin should never be a reason to stay on the sidelines.”

Leading the conversations were athlete and international host Vince Velasco and certified color analyst Enzo Villacorta—who have both lived with eczema since childhood.

During the official launch, Vince recounted his experience with bullying and how peers used to tease him for his skin condition during his younger years. Meanwhile, for Enzo, the battle was more personal—with eczema affecting his self-esteem and causing him to be more self-conscious.

Compassion in Every Formula

Vince and Enzo are only two of the many Filipinos who have sensitive skin. But despite its prevalence, it continues to be overlooked—with many failing to realize they have it.

According to dermatologist Dr. Paula Carait, “The absence of dryness or flaking does not rule out skin sensitivity. Sensitive skin can present as burning, stinging, or itching—even in well-hydrated skin.” So if you’re experiencing any of those concerns, chances are: you do have it.

For Vince, Enzo, and many others dealing with sensitive skin, gentle and uncomplicated solutions have proven to be the most reliable companions in regaining confidence in their own skin. Which is exactly why they only trust Aveeno for their routines.

Backed by over 75 years of research and experience, Aveeno is a pioneer in sensitive skin solutions. Each of their products is made consciously—with your unique lifestyle and needs in mind. Their hero ingredient: triple oat complex—a unique blend of three oat-based ingredients: oat flour, oat extract, and oat oil.

Oat flour contains high levels of prebiotics, proteins, and lipids that help restore the skin barrier. Meanwhile, oat extract contains Avenanthramides, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Lastly, there’s oat oil, which is rich in unsaturated fatty acids—helping reduce water loss from the layer of the skin. When combined, these powerful ingredients help reduce irritation and flare-ups, while promoting overall skin comfort and strengthening the skin barrier.

Sensitive skin shouldn’t hold you back. Whether it’s through meaningful conversations or science-backed innovations, Aveeno remains your most reliable companion—empowering you to embrace your unique skin and live your life with confidence.
