Vitapack: Multi-Benefit Beauty for On-The-Go, Modern Women

 I’ve read an article called ‘The Disease of Being Busy’ and one line said:

“This disease of being “busy” (and let’s call it what it is the dis-ease of being busy, when we are never at ease’ is spiritually destructive to our health and well- being.”

I agree with this line because being so, so busy makes us neglect important health rituals such as exercise, eating healthy, and taking supplements; it is equally destructive to our skin as well because it always makes us skip vital rituals that help our skin recover and rejuvenate. But what can we do? We all need to hustle and in a world where everyone is so competitive and the competition escalates every day, we simply can’t rest on our laurels.

The busy, modern generation is what I think gave rise to Multi-Benefit beauty products; in the US, there are a handful of brands with multi- benefit products as solutions to people who can’t just sit down and go through an entire beauty and health ritual.

But what are Multi-Benefit beauty products? These are products that provide more than one benefit. For example, a regular moisturizer can only provide HYDRATION, but a Multi- Benefit moisturizer can provide more than that; it can be 3-in-1 or some, even 12-in-1. If you have the classic BB Cream or Multivitamin in mind, yes, that’s the concept; it has been around, actually, most especially in skin care, but it’s slowly being adopted to makeup and becoming more prevalent. But note that Multi- Benefit products should not be considered as cures; they’re boosters that support everyday bodily function and health and beauty routines.

In the Philippines, one multi- benefit beauty brand is VITAPACK, a beauty and wellness brand. Let’s see in detail how we, busy, on-the-go, modern women can benefit from this brand!

Vitapack is a local brand that has been around since 2011; they’re one of the first brands I have worked with in my Beauty Blogging career and recently, I have reconnected with them and I’m happy to know that from being a humble supplement brand, they’ve grown into a promising beauty company (and they’re continuously growing!).

Presenting the main products of VITAPACK: Beauty supplements. 3-in-1 Beauty Pack (best- seller), Slimaluma, and Megawhite.

What’s good with the supplement pack concept? It’s an optimized way to take supplements because you’re encouraged to take the right dosage and complementing products.

First, we have VITAPACK 3-IN-1 BEAUTY PACK (P690.00/box of 10 sachets, 3 tablets per sachet), the star supplement of the brand; this is one of their first products.

3-in-1 Beauty Pack contains three supplements that provide whitening (also Megawhite), slimming (also Slimaluma), and anti- aging benefits.

Anti- Aging- Contains Garlic, Green Tea, Turmeric, and Gotu Kola.

Whitening- Contains Glutathione, L-Cysteine, and Calcium Ascorbate

Slimming- Contains Slimaluma (Caralluma Fimbriata), Yerba Mate, Chromium Picolinate, and Ginger

3-in-1 Beauty pack targets a lot of your health and beauty concerns in one go and even if you’re not into Whitening, the whitening supplement can still be good for you because Glutathione is a mega antioxidant.

TIP: Take 3 capsules upon waking up; take 1-2 packets per day.

Slimaluma (P560.00/box of 10 sachets, 2 per sachet) helps support a fitness regimen and curb cravings for those with a sedentary lifestyle. It contains Caralluma Fimbriata, a plant native in India used during the ancient times as an appetite suppressant; it’s also used by other brands in their supplements because it’s known to help block fat absorption. Yerba Mate helps lower blood glucose, bad fat, blood pressure, and also helps prevent osteoporosis. Chromium Picollinate helps control blood sugar and metabolize carbohydrates. Ginger helps burn fat, regulate cholesterol and assists in good digestion.

TIP: During your slimming period, take 2 capsules a day, 1 before lunch and 1 before dinner. For maintenance, drink one capsule before lunch or dinner.

We all know that internal care is just as important as outer care so Megawhite (P960.00/box of 10 sachets, 2 per sachet) is a good oral support for your whitening skin care regimen. It contains Glutathione and L-Cysteine that helps your body produce Glutathione; Glutathione is an important antioxidant found in the body and production decreases as we age so L-Cysteine can help boost this process. Finally, there’s Calcium Ascorbate that acts as a catalyst for Glutathione.

TIP: For whitening effects, take one packet during the day and one packet at night. For anti- aging effect and maintenance, take 1 pack a day. No need to take separate Vitamin C because of Calcium Ascorbate.

What I like about VITAPACK supplements:

1. The products are FDA- approved.

2. The products come in individual packets, which makes them travel- friendly and fresh before usage.

3. Vitapack uses natural ingredients.

4. It may be a bit expensive compared to some supplements, but each pack contains 2-3 different supplements that provide a lot of benefits and target a lot of health and beauty concerns. Technically, if you’re going to buy similar supplements individually and from other brands, you will pretty much end up spending the same amount or even more.

5. Vitapack has already chosen for me the supplements that will work well with each other and support each other. Oftentimes, we’re unaware of which supplements go well together and most of us don’t know that vitamins and minerals need ‘catalysts’ to activate and maximize them in the body: For example, Glutathione needs Vitamin C for stimulation. The pack concept of Vitapack ensures that I’m taking the right batch of supplements.

I take Vitapack 3-IN-1 Beauty Pack because it has everything I need, most especially anti-aging and slimming.

After the success of the supplements, VITAPACK has ventured into skin care.

 The ‘pack’ concept has extended to the skin care line because VITAPACK Cosmetics features 3 multi- benefit products: 8-IN-1 Whitening Lotion, 8-IN-1 Whitening Soap, and 3-IN-1 Sheet Mask.

8-IN-1 Whitening Lotion and Body Soap contain Clairju from Japan, VB9 from Korea, Glutathione from Japan, and Argan Oil. The soap is the first 8-in-1 soap in the Philippines. The 8 benefits are: Whitening, moisturizing, exfoliating, clarifying, smoothing, anti- bacterial, anti-aging, and brightening. If used consistently, they promise to give healthy, pinkish white skin.

VITAPACK cosmetics bear the safety seal and are packaged properly to prevent contamination and spoilage.

8-in-1 Whitening Lotion (P595.00, 90ml) is a light cream with high absorption and leaves a hydrating touch to the skin; it is lightly fragranced with a floral-bubblegum scent; it isn’t strong, but fragrant enough to give skin a nice scent. I’ve road- tested it on a hot summer day and the lotion did not feel sticky nor ‘hot’. The lotion can be used on the face and body; very economical! It has SPF as well.

8-in-1 soap (P299.00, 90g) is my favorite! This soap provides a decent, moisturizing foam that leaves me feeling moisturized all over! No dryness after rinsing and my skin smells nice even if I get sweaty (that’s because of the anti-bacterial properties). You can use this on the face and body as well; I love using this on my armpits because it has whitening benefits and as I said, it helps with body odor.

The sheet mask (P115.00/pc, 25ml) has 3 benefits: Whitening, Anti-Aging, and Moisturizing. It contains Collagen, Arbutin, Perfecting Peptide, and Q10 (Great! I love this ingredient!).

Why did VITAPACK go for a sheet mask? Because it is a good substitute for a serum, night cream, and moisturizer- all the benefits of these products can actually be found in a sheet mask. Again, good for people who can’t find time to deal with a regular nightly skin care routine (or even day time). VITAPACK’s sheet mask is highly moisturizing, fits snuggly, yields no stinging, and my face looks deeply moisturized and pampered after leaving it on for 15 minutes.

What I love about VITAPACK skin care:

1. The products have multiple benefits so if you have no time to go through a regular skin care, this can be a good substitute.

2. The products are not only multi- benefit, but multi- use also.

3. The products can be used on their own or as a complement to an existing skin care routine. Use it however and whenever.

While I would still recommend that you follow a solid skin care and health routine, I acknowledge that some can get really busy (like me!) so I would definitely recommend multi- benefit products; with these, there’s no reason anymore to skip good skin and health habits. VITAPACK’s products are made for all the busy babes (and even gents!) out there who want to keep their health and skin in the pink despite hectic schedules because the products have been carefully selected to work synergistically with each other to effectively take care of your wellness needs as you take care of other things.
