Shopping at Watsons often means going in with the intention of buying one item, and going out with a shopping bag full of health and wellness products. The eventuality has become so common that it has turned into a meme with which most everyone can relate.

With shelves filled with skincare, makeup and health selections, and a pharmacy for both prescription and over the counter medicine, it is no surprise that customers always find an extra bottle or tube to add to their cart.

To be sure, this trend will be more prevalent as Watsons makes a big comeback in its original spot at the SM Mall of Asia (MOA).

One of the biggest branches of the brand, Watsons at SM MOA Main Mall offers an immersive retail environment with elevated interiors, dynamic store features, and curated skincare, health and make-up selections.

"Our big comeback in SM Mall of Asia is a testament to Watsons' promise and continuous efforts to improve our service and empower customers to look good, do good, and feel great," said Jared de Guzman, Watsons' customer director.

"We invite everyone to discover the elevated Watsons at the SM Mall of Asia, Main Mall and experience immersive shopping and excellent services to help you fulfill any health or beauty needs," de Guzman added.

Greeting visitors of Watsons SM MOA, Main Mall is the beauty zone that offers a wide selection of beauty and skincare products — from premium and handpicked brands featuring skincare favorite and makeup marvels. There are well-loved local brands such as Happy Skin, GRWM and BLK, among many others. On the other side are popular Korean skincare brands with strong following in the Philippines like Laneige, Beauty of Joseon, COSRX and so much more.

The Watsons branch also carries beauty and skincare brands from local celebrities, including Small Laude whose Small Steps Skin found its first physical store in Watsons SM MOA.

"This is our first store with Watsons and I'm so excited for many more stores in the future," Laude said at the grand opening on June 5.

Still up for exploring inside the store are Watsons-owned brands, including health essentials and personal care products that are of great quality and come at affordable prices.

The store also provides holistic health and wellness experiences through its Pharmacy section. Get vitamins, supplements, OTC and prescription medications which offer generic and branded medicines as guided by Watsons' Pharmacists to ensure access to products in support of one's well-being.

A staunch advocate of sustainable shopping, the branch also boasts eco-friendly products that care for the environment. The store gives customers an interactive experience with Sustainable Choices section — which includes a refilling station of select Naturals by Watsons products — an extensive selection of Clean Beauty products, 'Better Packaging' products, refill packs, and products made from ethically-sourced ingredients. Each item exemplifies Watsons' dedication to reducing its environmental impact while still prioritizing customer satisfaction.

"For us, we have responsibility in doing good. We already have commitments across top suppliers even local brands, to transition to better packaging and better ingredients. We're promoting sustainable retail packaging and clean beauty, among other initiatives, to our partners. We take pride in that responsibility to really shape the industry to look good, do good and feel great," de Guzman expounded.

Moreover, the upgraded store levels up the shopping experience with an immersive and interactive O+O (Offline plus Online) experience for its customers.
