  • Achieve the skin you want with the new Kojie.san Tinted Sunscreen and Kojie.san Super Serum!

    Kojie.san has consistently challenged the idea of beauty and what it means to be beautiful. The brand encourages women to set their own beauty standards and stop conforming to the conventional notions of what society thinks is beautiful.

    The brand continues innovating and launching new products that would help women choose their own kind of beauty. Kojie.san introduces two new face care products designed to enhance rather than hide so women can confidently face every day.

    Sunscreen that works for all skin tones

    Typically, sunscreen protects the skin and helps prevent sunburn, skin cancer, and premature aging. But now, women have been looking for more than just protection. They desire a versatile product that’s more suitable for their lifestyle.

    Tinted Sunscreen KV Large

    Enter Kojie.san Tinted Sunscreen, a game-changer in the vast array of sunscreens out in the market. What sets it apart is its innovative True Tone Technology that adapts to any skin tone. This tinted sunscreen comes in a universal shade that eases any worries about shade matching, making it ideal for women on the go.

    It offers sun protection from sunlight with SPF 50+ PA+++ for UVA/UVB protection. It has RadiCare technology (Radiation Care), a protective barrier that shields the skin not just from sunlight but also from blue light that is emitted from gadgets, WiFi, and other external radiation aggressors that pollute the skin. It helps reduce the appearance of visible skin aging and helps increase and improve skin hydration while reducing skin roughness.

    Tinted Sunscreen

    Kojie.san Tinted Sunscreen also has a skin-enhancing formula that instantly blurs imperfections such as enlarged pores, skin redness, bumps, fine lines, and wrinkles. It has Vitamin E and Sunflower Oil to nourish the skin. To cap it all off, Kojie.san Tinted Sunscreen is lightweight and breathable, leaving the skin with a velvety smooth finish.

    Super Serum KV Large

    What makes Kojie.san Super Serum super?

The combination of these four powerful ingredients will help you achieve a dewy, glassy, supercharged glow.

    Kojie.san Super Serum is made more powerful and effective by Zero Pigment Light Technology, which allows kojic acid to penetrate the skin’s layers and reduce melanin production, which causes skin darkening. Niacinamide is known to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, help prevent moisture loss, and even out skin tone. Vitamin C brightens skin, while Hyaluronic Acid helps maintain skin health and promote elasticity.

    Super Serum

    Regularly using this multitasking serum results in dewy, hydrated, and healthy skin, lightening post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from pimples and acne marks and eliminating skin roughness.

    Achieve that supercharged glow with Kojie.san Skin Lightening Super Serum! Available at leading department stores and drugstores for Php469 for 30ml and Php129 for 7.5ml.

  • Ellen Burstyn Reprises Role, Fights Demons in “The Exorcist: Believer”

    Fifty years ago, The Exorcist, the most terrifying horror film in history landed on screens, global audiences were treated to an unimaginable fear that shook them to their core. It  starred Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow and newcomer Linda Blair, and became a landmark moment in horror that changed the genre and moviegoing forever.

    Now, a new chapter begins. From Blumhouse and director David Gordon Green, who shattered the status quo with their resurrection of the Halloween franchise, comes The Exorcist: Believer.  The new movie marks a new beginning that takes audiences into the darkest heart of inexplicable evil. Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 13 years ago, Victor Fielding (Tony winner and Oscar® nominee Leslie Odom, Jr.; One Night in Miami, Hamilton) has raised their daughter, Angela (Lidya Jewett, Good Girls) on his own.

    But when Angela and her friend Katherine (newcomer Olivia O’Neill), disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the nadir of evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before: Chris MacNeil.

    Lidya Jewett in The Exorcist Believer

    For the first time in five decades, Oscar® winner Ellen Burstyn returns to the role of Chris MacNeil, the woman who moved heaven and Earth to save her daughter, Regan (Linda Blair), from an unthinkable evil in the 1973 film. “Chris has had 50 years of living,” Burstyn says, “And I thought, ‘Who has she become? What are the experiences that happened to her in those 50 years, and how does that affect the person she is now?’ That interested me creatively. We are, in any moment of time, the sum total of everything that has happened to us and how that has become part of our character. That was an interesting challenge to explore.”

    Olivia ONeill in The Exorcist Believer

    “The original Exorcist film was groundbreaking for its time, and we wanted to honor the film with this continuation,” producer Jason Blum says. “It’s been 50 years, and thousands of horror films have been released since The Exorcist, so, for us, it was about trying to go back to an unsettling and original story.”

    Ellen Burstyn in The Exorcist Believer
    Ellen Burstyn

    While the 1973 film explored demonic possession from a predominantly Catholic perspective, The Exorcist: Believer incorporates multiple faiths in the fight to save two young girls. “My efforts on this movie were to make it a dialogue about the unknown,” director David Gordon Green says. “The film is dealing with the vulnerability of parenthood when you have a child with an unexplainable illness. How you approach a crisis like that is shaped by your own belief system: whether you’re a family that’s devout Baptist or a family that doesn’t believe in God, or a family that’s looking to the medical world, either with great hope or with great suspicion.”

    From Universal Pictures International, The Exorcist: Believer opens in cinemas on October 4.
