POND&rsquo;S SKIN INSTITUTE just made summer even hotter with the Dream Summer Club pop-up &mdash; the ultimate destination for skincare lovers! From fun, interactive activities to expert skincare tips, it was all about celebrating sun protection in style.

Sunscreen isn&rsquo;t just for beach days &mdash; it&rsquo;s a year-round essential, especially in a country like the Philippines, where the sun shines on us almost daily. While a sun-kissed complexion is undeniably beautiful, prolonged exposure to UV rays can lead to dark spots, premature aging, and skin damage. The key to maintaining a radiant, flawless-looking complexion? Daily sun protection.
POND&rsquo;S made this message clear at the Dream Summer Club pop-up at SM Mall of Asia last March 20, 2025. More than just a skincare event, it was a celebration of beauty, science, and self-care. With immersive experiences, skincare consultations, and engaging activities, guests were given an exclusive experience into the world of cutting-edge sun protection.

Adding to the excitement, The Science of Sun Protection, POND&rsquo;S brand ambassador, graced the event. Radiant and effortlessly chic, she underscored the importance of sunscreen in every skincare routine, proving that glowing, protected skin is always in season.

At the heart of the event were two standout innovations in POND&rsquo;S suncare lineup:
<h4>POND&rsquo;S Hyaluron Sunscreen SPF50 PA++++ UV Hydrate </h4>

This ultra-lightweight sunscreen is enriched with hyaluronic acid, ensuring deep hydration while delivering effective sun protection. It leaves the skin looking fresh and luminous without any sticky or heavy residue &mdash; perfect for those who love a naturally dewy glow.

<h4>POND&rsquo;S Gluta-Niacinamide Sunscreen SPF50 PA++++ UV Bright </h4>

Formulated for those who want a radiant, even complexion, this sunscreen combines the brightening powers of glutathione and niacinamide. Designed to fade dark spots as soon as three days with regular use, it&rsquo;s an effortless way to maintain a luminous, flawless finish.
Both formulations offer SPF50 PA++++ protection, shielding against harmful UVA and UVB rays. Their lightweight, non-greasy texture makes them ideal for daily wear &mdash; even in the Philippines&rsquo; warm and humid climate.

The POND&rsquo;S Dream Summer Club Experience

More than just a product showcase, the POND&rsquo;S Dream Summer Club Pop-Up was immersive. Guests indulged in a personalized and Beautech skin analysis, discovering the best ways to care for their unique skin needs. They also had the chance to accessorize their POND&rsquo;S sunscreen at the Charm Bar, adding a stylish touch to their must-have skincare essential. To make the experience even more special, an engraving station allowed attendees to personalize the caps of their sunscreen &mdash; because glowing skin deserves a personal touch. To sweeten the visit, you can also take home special shirts and pouches after you shop your POND&rsquo;S suncare must-haves!

One of the key takeaways? Sunscreen isn&rsquo;t optional even if you&rsquo;re indoors. UV rays can penetrate windows, making daily application essential for maintaining youthful, healthy skin.

What sets POND&rsquo;S sunscreens apart? It&rsquo;s suncare plus skincare. These products are backed by science, designed for Filipina skin, and formulated to complement our tropical lifestyle. No white cast, no greasy after-feel &mdash; just innovative sun protection that works effortlessly with any beauty routine.

For those who missed the launch, these game-changing sunscreens are available at Watsons. But don't fret; the POND'S Dream Summer Club is coming to a mall near you! Watch out for the traveling pop-up all summer long from April 10 -16 at SM Aura and April 26 - 30 at SM Fairview!
