Rhian Ramos steps into YOU as the first local beauty ambassador, following global ambassador Kim Soo Hyun

Tweet

Flawless and radiant skin is the beauty asset many work hard for. For celebrities with busy schedules and countless modeling gigs, their beauty regimens are their best-kept secrets to glowing, healthy, and beautiful skin. However, it’s not every day that fans get access to this, but luckily, Filipina actress and model Rhian Ramos has finally revealed her own skin secrets for the public to take inspiration from.

Known for her timeless beauty and grace, this Filipino celebrity is well loved for staying authentic while constantly reinventing herself in a fast- paced world. Rhian shared her morning routine, which she described as ‘simple’ but very important. “I just rinse my face with water and pat dry with a paper towel, and then apply Y.O.U. Beauty Radiance Glow Illuminating Serum and sunscreen,” she said. Her cherished secret - Y.O.U. Beauty Radiance Glow Illuminating Serum – is all she needs to achieve a plump, hydrated, and supple beauty look once she leaves her home for a busy day ahead.

When work ends, Rhian ensures her skin is rid of all pollutants, dirt, and impurities accumulated during her day. “In the evening I deep clean my face making sure there's no makeup left, then pat dry it with a paper towel, and apply the same serum before going to bed,” Rhian added, making sure Y.O.U. Beauty Radiance Glow Illuminating Serum is still a part of her evening routine for maximum effectiveness.

Her simple but impactful skin regimen was not easy to build at first. When she first started her skincare routine, she used to separately layer her skin with a niacinamide booster, hyaluronic serum, and vitamin C booster. Her multi-step regimen was difficult to follow because of her hectic schedule and constant travels – until she discovered the Y.O.U. Beauty Radiance Glow Illuminating Serum, which combines all those three skin-loving properties into one potent, easy-to-apply serum.

“When I started using Y.O.U. Beauty Radiance Glow Illuminating Serum, I found it to be much more hydrating than my old hyaluronic acid. Plus, it has Sakura Extract which is an ingredient I did not think of before,” Rhian said. “It perfectly pairs with the Niacinamide & Vitamin C to achieve glowy and supple skin, and calm my redness.”

The serum is formulated by Y.O.U. in partnership with Japanese cosmetic research and developer expert Tadahiro Shimada specifically for Southeast Asian skin that is constantly exposed to tropical weather and is likely to be sensitive, oily, or a combination of both skin types. Through the power of Mizu Glow Technology, the serum enables celebrities like Rhian Ramos achieve skin glass skin by minimizing pores, softening the skin, and brightening dark spots.

For Rhian, at the end of the day, the most important thing about a skincare regimen is one that really works for her everyday schedule and lifestyle. “A skin that is soft, smooth and plump is one that works for my lifestyle. The Niacinamide and Sakura Extract make me confident that my skin barrier is strong and protected from pollutants (cause I'm a city girl).”

Y.O.U. Beauty Radiance Glow is now available for Php 499 in official Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok shops of Y.O.U. and select Watsons, SM Beauty, Robinsons Department Stores, Gaisano Capital Group, Prince Retail Group, KCC, Mart One, and The Landmark.

Pizza in 5 Minutes – Korea’s No. 1 “Single-Serve Pizza” GOPIZZA Launches in Changi Airport with Brand-New AI Technology for Fast, Consistently High-Quality Pizza

Tweet

●       GOPIZZA opens its 25th store in Singapore, continuing its expansion to provide delicious and convenient pizza options for more customers across the city

●       New integration of AI-technology: AI-Smart Topping Table, GOVEN and GOBOT takes the stage to deliver delicious GOPIZZA in five minutes

●       Changi Airport-Exclusive Flavour: Chilli Crab Pizza on GOPIZZA’s special Crispy Basak Dough to tantalise your taste buds with a unique and delicious twist on a local favourite

GOPIZZA’s brand-new outlet at Changi Airport Terminal 2

Renowned pizza brand from South Korea, GOPIZZA, made its debut at Changi Airport's Terminal 2, marking its 25th establishment in Singapore with new flavour and AI-technology introductions within the company.

GOPIZZA’s Next-Gen AI-Technology for Perfect Pizza Anytime, Anywhere

Pizzas are often thought to be a shared-serving meal that requires substantial time to be prepared. However, the launch of GOPIZZA challenges this very mindset by introducing single-serving pizza delivered just like a fast-food meal. Every step of the pizza-making process is strictly controlled with the incorporation of the AI Smart Topping Table, GOBOT Station, and its latest iteration of GOVEN.

This new series of AI-Technology roll-out is especially prominent in GOPIZZA’s Changi Airport outlet, where it ensures consistent and fresh baked pizza for hungry travellers who often face the urgency of purchasing food-on-the-go.

“We're thrilled to bring GOPIZZA to the heart of Changi Airport's Terminal 2. Our core belief is that time is of the essence, and this is also reflected in our motto, 'Fast, But Delicious'.  Incorporating breakthrough technology in our processes, we aim to redefine the dining experience by merging speed with taste. At Changi Airport, travellers can now enjoy quick, freshly baked on-the-spot pizza, ensuring they don't have to compromise quality for time." shared Jay Lim, global CEO of GOPIZZA.

GOPIZZA’s Five Minutes Pizza Journey

Each pizza is assembled on the AI Smart Topping Table, where a smart camera is installed overhead to swiftly identify and track pizza toppings, guiding the staff through each step of assembling the toppings. At the AI Smart Topping Table, the consistency of the ingredients and its quantities are maintained through correction alerts.

It is then baked for 3 minutes in an AI-controlled GOVEN that is twice the temperature as compared to its conventional counterpart.

In just a couple of minutes, the freshly baked GOPIZZA lands on the GOBOT, which is designed to automatically slice the pizzas into GOPIZZA's signature shape and keep them warm until they are served to the customers.

Airport-Exclusive Flavour & Classic K-Food Delights

Changi Airport Exclusive: GOPIZZA Chilli Crab Pizza

With already over 12 different flavours in its menu, GOPIZZA seeks to spoil patrons’ choices even further with another new addition – The Chilli Crab Pizza. Paying homage to the iconic local dish, this airport-exclusive flavour is infused with the rich and tangy flavours that Singaporeans adore, where every bite promises a symphony of sweet, spicy, and savoury notes, mirroring the beloved taste of the classic chilli-tomato sauce. GOPIZZA’s Chilli Crab pizza aims to satiate both the international traveller's curiosity and the local's craving for a taste of home. Alongside the Chilli Crab Pizza, GOPIZZA also launched a series of creatively fresh offerings, such as the Jalapeno Pepperoni Pizza and Truffle Cheese Pizza, also available only at their Changi Airport outlet.

Among other delectable offerings, GOPIZZA remains true to its brand as a Korean pizza brand, introducing Korean delights like Bulgogi Pie, specially curated for the breakfast menu, as well as presenting a classic favourite, Topokki, embodying the essence of Korean street food culture.

All of GOPIZZA’s delicious pizzas are served on GOPIZZA’s Crispy Basak Dough, where it achieves the perfect pizza texture – crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. The Crispy Basak Dough is also engineered to withstand delivery, guaranteeing that every pizza, whether enjoyed on the spot or delivered to your door, maintains its oven-fresh taste.

GOPIZZA’s Expansion - Locally and Globally

Locally, GOPIZZA has established an impressive count of 25 outlets across the island after the brand first opened its doors here in 2020. Simultaneously, on a global scale, GOPIZZA is experiencing remarkable growth, with projections indicating that the total number of outlets will reach an impressive 200 by October.

This global expansion plan is in full swing, and GOPIZZA is set to open its fifth outlet in Central Park, Indonesia in November 2023. This expansion comes on the heels of the successful inauguration of CGV Grand Indonesia in 2022 and the recent launch of an outlet in Mall of Indonesia.

GOPIZZA's innovative approach to pizza-making, driven by cutting-edge technology and an unwavering commitment to taste-consistency, has made it a beloved choice for pizza enthusiasts worldwide, ensuring a bright and promising future for the brand both locally and globally.

Store Information

Nestled between Dunkin Donuts and Boost Juice Bar, GOPIZZA is located at T2 Departure/Transit South, Unit No. 02-K15 at Changi Airport’s Terminal 2 Departure Hall. Operating hours are from 6AM to 1AM daily.
