Skin care in your 30s and 40s hits differently. The late nights, stress, and hormones don’t just disappear with a sheet mask anymore, and healing takes longer than it did in our early twenties. That’s why the launch of DERMLAB+ by Fresh feels so timely as we adjust to more complex skincare needs. They recently introduced a three‑step Korean skin‑healing routine that’s simple, effective, and priced affordably—proof that leveling up your skincare doesn’t have to mean spending more.
At the heart of the Lumi Rejucare line is Rose PDRN, an ingredient known for supporting skin regeneration. Think of it as a reset button for tired, stressed skin. The routine starts with the Lumi Rejucare Gel Cleanser, a gentle wash that clears away dirt and excess oil without stripping moisture. Next is the Lumi Rejucare pH 5.5 Balancing Toner, which restores your skin’s natural balance and preps it to absorb the goodness that follows. Finally, the Lumi Rejucare Repair Cream locks in hydration and strengthens the skin barrier, helping skin look firmer and healthier over time.
To make the launch even more relatable, Fresh tapped Rei Germar as the face of DERMLAB+. Long‑time fans will remember her as the ambassador for Fresh’s Tomato line during her younger years. Now that she’s in her 30s, Rei is also leveling up her skincare routine to match her age, showing that self‑care evolves with us.
“When I heard that it’s something with PDRN, I thought it was going to be way more expensive because PDRN isn’t just something you’ll see everywhere. I believe they’re one of the first to launch a brand with PDRN as an anchor,” shares Germar. “When I saw the price point, I realized it was really a good choice to say yes because they make premium ingredients, premium skincare accessible for Filipinos. These are the type of ingredients you would usually hear from Korea or [from] very expensive Korean brands.”
However, it’s not just plain PDRN. Germar further explains that DERMLAB+ has improved it to fit Filipino’s skincare needs : “It’s very innovative skincare ingredients that we see abroad, but altered to our skin. Our weather is so different, humidity is very different. Not because it’s the same ingredient out there, [means] it’s instantly gonna work for us. That’s what I really appreciate about DERMLAB+ products, they got the innovative key skincare ingredient but made sure it works for Filipino skin and our weather as well.”
At SRP Php 249 each, you can complete the entire three‑step routine without breaking the bank. It’s skincare that feels premium, works effectively, and still fits anyone’s budget. For anyone navigating the realities of skin in their “prime” years— slower regeneration, dullness, or stress‑induced breakouts — DERMLAB+ offers a healing routine that’s easy to commit to and easy to love. Tried it myself already and it smells really good! Let’s see the effects after a month or so of usage.
