Ahmed Al-Qahtani, founder of AQ solutions and a medicine professor at the University of California (Irvine), agreed that whitening products have always been the most in demand, not only in the Philippines but generally in Asia -- but noted that in the country, the anti-aging is a $2.5-billion industry as of last year, and its growing faster.

Mr. Al-Qahtani noted that the release of AQ Solutions was originally set for 2013 but launched a year earlier instead because of the anti-aging demand in the country.

He reflects on the desire of the Filipinos to look younger and prettier.

Aesthetics is big in the Philippines despite whitening [products] being the best-seller, he said.

He explained that the younger generation is more interested in whitening products while the older ones look for solutions for aging and hair loss.

Using a cellular level human growth factor (GF), the AQ solutions line is supposed to help renew health at the cellular level, enough to enable the reversal of the aging process. It also promotes the disappearance, or significant reduction, of scars, and restores the health of hair follicles and the scalp to improve hair grown.

Mr. Al-Qahtani considers the AQ line as a preventive and corrective solution. The line includes AQ Active Serum, AQ Hair Serum, AQ Recovery Serum, and AQ Eye Serum. Although all are topical, the recovery and hair serum need to be applied by dermatologists.

The line will be available through SQS and selected dermatologists in the country. For more information, log on to http://www.aqskinsolutions.com -- CERS
