TWICE&rsquo;s Jihyo and Tzuyu joined Belle Mariano, Julia Barretto, Mimiyuuuh, Zeinab Harake, and more at the POND&rsquo;S Skin Institute Gala &mdash; a night that placed science, self-care, and empowerment at the center of beauty.

Far from being just another high-profile beauty affair, the POND&rsquo;S Skin Institute Gala unfolded as a purposeful evening devoted to the power of science, innovation, and skincare in building confidence for every Filipina. The night invited guests to experience POND&rsquo;S world firsthand &mdash; through interactive skin quizzes, immersive realms representing its Miracles lines, and appearances from global and local ambassadors. Each moment was designed to bring POND&rsquo;S science to life, turning skincare from routine into revelation and proving that real confidence begins with understanding what makes your skin unique.
<h3>Local Stars Step Into the Spotlight</h3>

Local celebrities, beauty influencers, and KOLs walked the &ldquo;Tulip&rdquo; carpet, showcasing the breadth of the brand&rsquo;s community. Among the most anticipated arrivals were Belle Mariano and Julia Barretto, both dressed in radiant white and embodying the glow of a signature POND&rsquo;S girl. Content creators Mimiyuuuh and Zeinab Harake brought their signature energy to the event, representing the new generation of voices shaping beauty conversations online.
The segment continued with a live Q&amp;A where local creators and experts discussed their skincare philosophies, the importance of daily sunscreen, and how POND&rsquo;S latest innovations fit seamlessly into modern routines. They also reflected on how social media continues to shape beauty trends, stressing that authenticity and science-backed messaging are now essential in the digital beauty landscape.
<h3>Jihyo and Tzuyu&rsquo;s Arrival Marks a Global Moment</h3>

A wave of excitement swept through the venue as Jihyo and Tzuyu of TWICE stepped onto the Tulip Carpet, their glowing skin and poised elegance captivating the crowd. In that moment, POND&rsquo;S proved that its ability to make miracles happen goes beyond skincare &mdash; it&rsquo;s about creating experiences that bring people closer, turning admiration into connection. By uniting fans and their idols in one shared space, the brand transformed its message of science-led empowerment into something tangible and emotional, showing that confidence and beauty can inspire not just how we care for our skin, but how we connect with others.
<h3>A Vision for the Future: POND&rsquo;S Mission Expands</h3>
The program then paused for a welcome address from Stefan Cloete, General Manager for Beauty &amp; Wellbeing, Greater Asia. Cloete spoke about POND&rsquo;S commitment to making quality skincare available for every Filipina and highlighted how the newly introduced POND&rsquo;S Skin Institute represents more than just a product line.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a space for collaboration and innovation,&rdquo; he explained, &ldquo;designed to give women access to effective, science-driven skincare solutions.&rdquo; Cloete linked this mission directly to empowerment and self-expression &mdash; ideals that were reflected throughout the night.
<h3>Jihyo on Sunscreen, Self-Care, and Leadership</h3>
Jihyo then took the stage for one of the evening&rsquo;s most anticipated segments: a candid interview that offered fans and guests an intimate glimpse into her life and skincare philosophy. Reflecting on her role as TWICE&rsquo;s leader, she spoke about how empathy and teamwork are just as vital as decision-making in guiding a global group.
On skincare, she was equally thoughtful, revealing that sunscreen is a step she never skips &mdash; whether she&rsquo;s performing on stage, traveling, or simply heading out for the day. She named the POND&rsquo;S UV Miracle sunscreen as her personal must-have, describing it as &ldquo;the foundation of healthy skin.&rdquo;
Her straightforward approach resonated with guests and reinforced one of the evening&rsquo;s key themes: that confidence is built through small, consistent habits rooted in science-backed care.
<h3>Tzuyu on Hydration and Healthy Habits</h3>

The energy in the room remained high as Tzuyu, TWICE&rsquo;s youngest member, took the stage for her interview. Known for her glowing complexion, she shared practical tips on maintaining healthy skin despite the challenges of travel and performance schedules.
She highlighted hydration, gentle cleansing, and routine as the cornerstones of her approach and expressed her love for the POND&rsquo;S Hydra Miracle Biome Gel for its lightweight feel and ability to support the skin barrier.
Tzuyu also spoke warmly about the Philippines and its fans, noting the country&rsquo;s &ldquo;bright energy&rdquo; and how welcomed she feels with each visit. In a heartfelt moment, she praised Jihyo&rsquo;s leadership, calling her an inspiration.
<h3>The Reveal: Where Miracles Begin</h3>

As the program drew to a close, all four product realms &mdash; Bright Miracle, Age Miracle, UV Miracle, Hydra Miracle &mdash; converged in the grand reveal of the POND&rsquo;S Skin Institute. The evening&rsquo;s final moments brought the night&rsquo;s central message into sharp focus: POND&rsquo;S is more than skincare, but a ticket to everyday miracles. Through science, innovation, and authentic storytelling, the brand empowers women to care for their skin, embrace their individuality, and move through the world with confidence.
