VMV Products

[dunamis]

how bout their deo's? meron kasi silang whitening..is it effective?

[gracepinas]

i don't like vmv products, they are locally made products, but quite expensive and di pa good quality. i bought one (blue bottle with white label, can't remember the name), and i found no effect, then medyo mahapdi pa.

really...ndi ba dapt continuer mo lang? afterwards wala na?
anyone who used glykeros?

[allredndizzy]

^^i've read that jackie lou blanco uses glykeros.. and she loves it..

i've tried VMV superskin 3 (cream cleanser, astringent, moisturizer) and it did wonders on my skin.. it's hypoallergenic so it's safe to use even on sensitive skin.. god rid of my blemishes too

the blue bottle with white label is "VMV id" it has salicylic acid and is effective for people with oily skin and blemishes.. (i used this one too!) it gets rid of chicken skin too

overall i think the product is great! it's imported...repackaged locally though.

[ezra is better]

I agree allredndizzy with your superskin 3 experience; it's what I'm using right now (except for the cream cleanser, I think it's ridiculously expensive) with Panoxyl 2.5% and my skin is definitely improving. I'm on my first bottle and tube of the toner and moisturizer so I can't wait to see how my skin will improve after I've used everything. Hopefully I can downgrade to superskin 2 toner by then.

[moonshine]

upping this thread....

i came from watson's yday after being away for some time--- the vmv face powders are 1600pesos na pala?! they have no refills anymore either. can someone verify if this is correct---kasi yung counter girl ng katabing makeup brand ang nag assist sa akin (the vmv counter girl was missing when i visited) so i am wondering if she made an error?

COMPANY PROFILE

The VMV Group of Companies is a skyrocketing cadre of skin-related companies that has set its sights on global expansion — and we’re always searching for great, new talent to join us in this thrilling skindeavor. We have a relentless devotion to skin, and take pride in our research, products, and people. We’re smart and constantly learning. We’re skindefatigable in our pursuit of the unbelievable and are violently allergic to mediocrity.

Ours is truly one of the most energetic, creative, diverse, fluid, professional, positive, dynamic atmospheres in corporate-ania, and we boast brilliant people with some of the nicest attitudes you’ll ever come across.

We’re fluid and dynamic so working with us usually means lots of exposure to diverse fields. We’re growing (quickly) and we’re not perfect (honestly, who is?). But we break our backs trying to outdo ourselves all the time. What fuels us? Heaps of VMVim + Vigor, and a dogged commitment to our shared VMVision (and boy is it an exciting one!).

If you’re the type of person who’s all fired up and ready to really go places by putting your nose to the grindstone and being nothing short of exceptional, then we may have an incredible opportunity for you.

THE JOB: VMVocation

Working at VMV is primarily about sharing our VMValues of integrity, eagerness, and greatness. It’s not about getting a job, it’s about choosing to build a career. This is a fast-paced environment where those with positive, can-do attitudes thrive. Fainting wallflowers need not apply: it’s those with dizzying energy and a deluge of brilliant ideas who flourish here.

We offer unique career opportunities that are an ideal fit for people who do whatever it takes to get the job done with unwavering ethics, smarts, quality, and flair. Specific educational or work experiences can be less important than a strong ability to learn and unabashed scrappiness, so do apply even if you think you’re an unusual fit for a position.

Important note for applicants: individuals seeking a nice, calm, routine 9 to 5 or hefty rewards for average performance should look elsewhere. It’s true visionaries — those yearning to revolutionize themselves, the company they champion, and to some extent, the world we live in — who will find a home here.

A sense of humor and upbeat personality will help you deal with the speed of our pace and the pressure of our standards, as will a scrupulous work ethic, adamant disdain of “slackers”, and a good soul (we’ve no patience for interoffice politics ... there’s too much to do.)

We are a world-class company and expect world-class results from our people. If you have a passion for skin, learning, excellence, helping people, and solutions, and are in search of a fulfilling career — not a job but a purpose (a VMVocation as it were) — in a fast-paced, independent, and values-oriented setting with aspirations of healthful global conquest, we could be a match made skin heaven.

POSITION DESCRIPTION


Job Title: Visual Stylist

SCOPE

The Visual Stylist is primarily responsible for conceptualizing, designing, and implementing window and in-store displays for both the company’s proprietary online and brick-and-mortar retail stores (“stores”) and other points of sale such as 3rd-party department stores or retail chains (“doors”), special events, trade show displays, and any other areas where the brand’s products are displayed, promoted, or sold.

In addition to drawing on their knowledge of customer tendencies when designing their displays, the Visual Stylist takes into account current fashions and trends, promotions, and seasonal factors, such as holidays (e.g., Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Valentine's Day). In larger doors, the Visual Stylist coordinates with the head office and other design teams (including buyers and sales staff) to ensure consistency with the corporate brand or image and the brand’s particular needs.

Because the Creative Services Division is wide-reaching in scope, the position also entails assisting the other departments in their creative or design needs to ensure consistency with the corporate brand or image, including gift or product development, graphic support, corporate communications, and various aspects of design.

Visual Stylists must combine creativity and artistic flair with technical know-how, a passion for continuous and diverse research, and a keen sense of the brand’s identity and target market.
