Okay, real talk—skincare can feel overwhelming. With 20-step routines and ingredients you can barely pronounce, it’s easy to get lost. So when I came across the Celimax Noni Toner and Noni Ampoule, I was curious but cautious. A soothing toner and serum packed with Noni fruit extract? Sounds fancy... but does it actually work?

Spoiler alert: Yes, and here’s why I think this Korean skincare pair is lowkey amazing.

First Off: What Even Is Noni?

Let’s get the science-y part out of the way. Noni (aka Morinda Citrifolia) is a tropical fruit that’s packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and amino acids. Basically, it’s a skin-soothing, barrier-loving ingredient that helps calm irritation and hydrate dry or stressed-out skin.

Celimax uses a super high percentage of Noni extract in both products:

• 80.1% in the toner

• 71.77% in the ampoule

That’s impressive, especially if you’ve got sensitive skin or use actives like retinol.

Celimax Noni Toner: My Thoughts

This toner is like a splash of calm. It’s watery but slightly thicker than a basic toner, so it feels hydrating without being sticky. I used it after cleansing, and it immediately made my skin feel plump and soothed.

Highlights:

• No fragrance

• Absorbs quickly

• Feels gentle, even on irritated skin

• Great for layering under serums

My dehydrated combo skin drank this up. I even used it on days when my skin felt tight or sensitive, and it never caused any redness or irritation.

Celimax Noni Ampoule: Skincare Comfort Food

This ampoule is like a big cozy blanket for your face. It's thicker than your average serum, but not greasy. The texture is slightly sticky at first, but once it absorbs (give it a minute), it leaves your skin looking glowy and calm.

Highlights:

• 70%+ Noni Extract for serious soothing power

• Niacinamide and Panthenol to even tone + hydrate

• No fragrance or essential oils

• Pairs beautifully with other actives

If your skin ever feels stressed, this is the ampoule to reach for. I used it after exfoliating or when my barrier felt a bit “meh,” and it always helped bounce things back.

✅ Pros:

• Super calming and gentle

• Fragrance-free and safe for sensitive skin

• High Noni extract content

• Hydrating without being heavy

• Layers well with other skincare

❌ Cons:

• Ampoule can feel sticky at first (oily skin types might notice it more)

• Results are subtle and gradual, not instant

• Natural Noni scent may take getting used to (though it fades quickly)

  Heads up, voters! The countdown to the May 12, 2025 National and Local Elections has begun—and this year, casting your vote just got a whole lot easier.

Voters fill the venue at SM North EDSA during the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections in 2023.

SM Supermalls offers a convenient mall voting experience for the 2025 elections, with 20 SM malls where people can vote.

Why mall voting works

The goal? A smoother, more inclusive voting experience—especially for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), senior citizens, and pregnant voters. Think ramps, elevators, comfortable seating, and spacious voting areas—all in a familiar and accessible setting.

“We believe democracy should be inclusive, convenient, and secure,” shared Junias Eusebio, Vice President for Mall Operations at SM Supermalls. “By offering our malls as voting venues, we’re not just making it easier to vote—we’re helping empower every Filipino to make their voice heard.”



People sit and observe the proceedings, awaiting the election results at SM North EDSA.

Democracy meets convenience

This isn’t SM’s first time teaming up with government agencies. Through the SM Government Service Express (GSE), select SM malls already offer one-stop access to services like ID processing, permits, and more. The MVP is yet another way SM Supermalls is stepping up to serve the public in meaningful ways.

Plan ahead

Eligible for mall voting? Expect an official advisory from COMELEC about your assigned voting venue. Then, on May 12, head to your designated SM mall, bring a valid ID, and vote with ease.

Let’s all do our part—vote smart, vote safe, and vote comfortably.
