Cleene CLIO makes Clean Teeth possible for Families this World Oral Health Day 2022
March 20, 20220 Comments


Manila, Philippines - On World Oral Health Day, Cleene CLIO invites everyone to celebrate by practicing proper oral healthcare with their families.

A product of proudly Filipino company PHILUSA Corporation, Cleene CLIO has been an ardent supporter of this global oral health initiative, especially with oral care given less priority during the pandemic when accessibility to dentists and visits to oral health facilities were challenging at the height of the lockdowns.

To emphasize the importance of good oral health practices at home, Cleene CLIO has partnered with Manila Water Foundation and Philippine Dental Association to provide oral health kits to various barangays and schools as part of this year’s World Oral Health Day activities. Over 2,000 health kits containing Cleene CLIO toothbrushes and Dental Floss Premium from Cleene CLIO and PHILUSA were distributed to 12 barangays and to the chosen hygiene facility in Dinalaonan Elementary School in Pangasinan.



And as a special treat for World Oral Health Day, selected Cleene CLIO products will be sold at 20% off exclusively in Mercury Drug stores nationwide until April 15, 2022.

Cleene CLIO continues to be the partner of every Filipino family in promoting good oral hygiene by offering a wide range of affordable and quality toothbrushes.

Cleene CLIO toothbrushes are made with MicroFine Soft Bristles that help penetrate and clean hard to reach areas for better interdental cleaning and a gentle brushing experience. The tapered bristles penetrate between teeth and gums for thorough cleaning, while the rounded shape of the bristles remove plaque and prevent teeth and gum damage.

There is a Cleene CLIO toothbrush for every member of the family that is affordable and has world-class quality. For those wanting extra care and protection for your teeth, Cleene CLIO offers its Refreshing Green Tea and Ultimax Charcoal under their Special care line. While for those needing specialized care, Cleene CLIO has its Kiddie and Junior as well as 40+ for sensitive gum and teeth. It also has its economy toothbrushes for general oral health care for any age.

Cleene CLIO is available at Mercury Drug, leading supermarkets, drugstores and other retail stores nationwide as well as on all leading ecommerce websites: Shopee, Lazada, and the PHILUSA Online Store.

Product Review: Stay Healthy and #HaveAGoodDay
June 14, 20210 Comments

Our kids’ health and immunity should be our top priority especially during this time of the pandemic. As parents/guardians, we need to make sure that they do not just eat healthy foods but also drink nutritional beverages.

Introducing Goodday Cultured Milk*! Meron itong Paraprobiotics na clinically proven to help improve intestinal health and natural resistance. It’s also heat-treated so it can withstand the tropical weather in the Philippines for up to 12 months!

Another brand comes into mind kapag sinabing "cultured milk", and it has always been included on my grocery list because my kids love it. But with Goodday Milk Drink, it turns out mas na-enjoy sya ng mga anak ko because it comes in three exciting flavors: Original, Strawberry and Mango. And I also love the fact that it comes in 350ml bottle kaya for sure hindi mabibitin ang kids natin compared sa "Brand X" that only comes in 65ml.





Try nyo na rin and let me know in the comments below kung aling flavor ang nagustuhan ng mga anak nyo.

Follow Goodday Cultured Milk PH on Facebook for more information, updates and ongoing promos. 
Stay healthy and #HaveAGoodDay
