“Clé de Peau Beauté is the pinnacle of luxury, and any Filipino would know that Greenbelt is the place,” says Shiseido Philippines managing director Michael Goh when asked about why the brand opted for the premier lifestyle mall in Metro Manila as the location for the first-ever Clé de Peau Beauté boutique in the Philippines.

“This boutique at Greenbelt is our first store [in Manila], but I can assure you that there’s a lot more that we are planning for expansion in the next few years,” he adds.

The iconic brand offers a wide range of skincare and makeup collections that beauty enthusiasts all over the world have grown to enjoy. Tatler’s very own managing director, Irene Martel Francisco, is a long-time Clé de Peau Beauté user. She says, “I have used the same Clé de Peau [Beauté] concealer for about 12 years! It’s pure magic, and I look forward to discovering more of the fine products that Clé de Peau [Beauté] has to offer.”

Merging beauty with innovation, Clé de Peau Beauté Philippines training manager Ixi Castillo recommends key radiance care for first-time users, which she dubbed as “the core” of the brand's collection. “We want to recommend the key radiance care since it’s the core, the basics. After that, we recommend [products] according to your personalised skin needs,” she says.

“To give you an analogy, our key radiance care is like multivitamins. Everything else in the Clé de Peau [Beauté] portfolio is like supplements,” she adds.

Filipinas need not worry about foundation choices as Clé de Peau Beauté is inclusive to Filipina skin. Castillo says that they "have a wide range of shades, from yellow to peach undertones".

Goh added that the company is always observing trends in the beauty industry and is developing its products accordingly. "For skincare, we will see a new, emerging trend of clean beauty, and people are looking for sustainability," he says.

Castillo echoes the sentiment, "We actually have refills to lessen waste. And we're doing it little by little, starting by making sure we don't pollute the environment."
