Eau Thermale Avene, the leading French dermo-cosmetic brand officially launches its latest offering. The Skin Recovery Cream DEFI (Device for Exclusive Formula Integrity) joins the brand’s roster of products that are ideal for hypersensitive, intolerant and allergic skin.
The Eau Thermale Avene Skin Recovery Cream DEFI debuts this latest innovation at the ground floor of SM Department Store’s beauty section in Makati City.
Customers can look forward to a week-long event marked by various exciting activities. Shoppers can participate in a photo contest where they can get the chance to win Eau Thermale Avene products, free derma consultations from certified dematologists, personalized notebook as freebies for every purchase of the Skin Recovery Cream and many more.
Sterile Cosmetics
The Skin Recovery Cream was developed as part of Eau Thermale Avene’s product roster under the STERILE COSMETICS line. These products comply with a stringent charter based on 3 key points:
1 Sterilization throughout production
2 Rigorous selection of only essential ingredients
3 A perfectly patented hermetic sealing system called
“DEFI”. This cap ensures that the product inside does not come into contact with the air so there is no need to preserve it since the product remains sterile until use.
Sterile Cosmetics guarantee formulas with absolutely no preservatives or substances with incidental preservative function (unlisted preservatives). Since preservatives do not affect the formula’s efficacy, Sterile Cosmetics also means that your skin is getting only what’s essential and that it offers unique safety even for the most sensitive skin.
For Hypersensitive, Intollerand, and Allergic Skin
The Philippines’ tropical weather poses challenges to your skin. The high humidity and unforgiving sun can cause irritation. But with the Skin Recovery Cream your skin can be protected from the harsh effects of the environment as well as the cosmetics you tend to pile on.
This product helps protect skin and soothes irritation and restores the hydrolipidic film thanks to Parcerine®. This patented formula contained in Eau Thermale Skin Recovery Cream effectively alleviates and protects skin, restores the skin barrier, and reduces the skin reactivity.

I live in a household of chocoholics and my mom, the least chocoholic of the bunch LOVES Cadbury Dairy Milk. Whenever I bring home a bar or 3 she always gets first dibs – and this from a self-professed non-chocoholic. 😀
I recently found out that the limited edition Christmas flavors are back. Yey! Oh what a joy it would be to give these special chocolates to my special people.
Cadbury Dairy Milk Christmas Flavors – who deserves these special treats?
My mom deserves a treat
For my beautiful mom, the person who is always there for me no matter what, I would give her the Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Mousse. With its light and airy chocolate-flavored cream enveloped in classic milk chocolate shell, she is sure to love it and ask for more.

Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Mousse
Mom likes to eat her chocolate before sleeping, as a light snack. I hope she will be able to control herself and stop at just one. Just to be sure I will eat with her. 😀
My daughter deserves a treat
My fashionista daughter, Erika, is sure to love the Cadbury Dairy Milk French Vanilla. She likes her chocolate light and not too chocolatey … which makes this the perfect variant for her.

Cadbury Dairy Milk French Vanilla
A bite into this exquisite flavor will plunge her into the smooth, soft, silky center filled with light and delectable French vanilla cream.
This sophisticated flavor is definitely a match for my classy kid. 🙂 And, for sure, her baby, Star, will love it, too! But I’ll taste it first just to make sure. 😀
My sisters deserves a treat

my younger sisters
The Cadbury Dairy Milk Black Forest deserves a person who likes to live a little and experiment with flavors. Consider this … you combine your Cadbury Dairy Milk with chocolate cookies and red jellies and you get the perfect combination of crunchy and chewy wrapped in delicious chocolatey goodness!
It’s a two in one deal! Therefore, I cannot, in all conscience give it to just one person. I’ll live a little, too, and give it to both my sisters, Tina, and Gigi … then we three can share it, hehehe.

Cadbury Dairy Milk Black Forest
How much are these these luscious treats?
Cadbury Dairy Milk Black Forest, Cadbury Dairy Milk French Vanilla, and Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Mousse are available in 180g packs for a suggested retail price of P180.00. Hurry and get all flavors – available until supplies last! #FreeTheJoy this Christmas with Cadbury Dairy Milk!
Cadbury Dairy Milk’s limited edition Christmas flavors are available in all leading supermarkets.
