Beauty is a legacy passed down from one generation to the next. For many enthusiasts today, their introduction to skincare and cosmetics began by watching their mother’s routine and rummaging through her vanity.

Such is the case for Meding, a 90-year-old Filipina whose unwavering loyalty to a single brand has shaped the way her family views beauty.

The ever-elegant Meding has been a proud and loyal user of Pond’s—a brand founded in 1846 and known for being tried, tested, and timeless. She first incorporated it into her skincare routine in 1962, and it has remained a staple ever since. Ask Meding about her beauty secret, and that would be her answer.

Her six decades of loyalty didn’t go unnoticed. Her daughter sent a heartfelt message to the brand, sharing just how deeply her mother’s strength and luminous presence have inspired their family. “Her trust in your brand has truly made a lasting impression on all of us,” she wrote.

In time for Meding’s 90th birthday celebration, Pond’s honored and reciprocated her love by gifting her and her family with the Pond’s Age Miracle, which has been Meding's favorite skincare line for years on end! Infused with well-aging technology, the products in the lineup are known for brightening the skin, boosting collagen production, and accelerating repair.

Meding's story is a testament that heirlooms don’t always have to come at a hefty price tag. In fact, they can be more deeply rooted and innate—something that is planted with sincerity, to the point where it radiates so naturally. Skincare, at the end of the day, is more than creams and serums in tubs and bottles; it’s a reflection of one’s core and humanity.

As what Meding’s daughter said, “What makes nanay beautiful to me is her heart, inside and outside.”
