Our top picks of the latest skincare ranges tackle various skin concerns with new powerful ingredients.

ELIXIR

Japanese beauty brand Elixir opens its first boutique in Singapore. The flagship store will offer its collagen-focused product ranges, as well as high-tech personalised skin consultations that help you put together a routine to achieve the brand’s ethos of “Pearl Glow Skin”.

TATCHA THE CLASSIC RITUAL

Make your skincare routine the highlight of your day with Tatcha’s Classic Ritual. The four-step regimen entails purifying, polishing, plumping and nourishing. While all the products are lightweight, we especially love the Rice Polish, as the formula – made from finely ground rice bran with papaya enzymes, turns into a cloud-like foam upon contact with water.

SULWHASOO CONCENTRATED GINSENG BRIGHTENING

Sulwhasoo introduces an all-new range consisting of a serum and ampoule. Both hardworking multitaskers that brighten and address pigmentation, they also boost skin resilience from deep within. Two main ingredients are at the root of the formulas: Ginsenomics triggers the production of hyaluronic acid, while Melasolv inhibits excess production of melanin, which is responsible for the formation of dark spots.

ESTEE LAUDER REVITALIZING SUPREME+ COLLECTION

Estee Lauder’s new collection showcases the latest in collagen technology: the infusion of the new Hibiscus-8 Fraction. This bioactive plant extract helps skin look more lifted and boosts the efficacy of the brand’s moringa extract and collagen-boosting technology. Together, these ingredients restore skin’s natural elasticity and firmness in the cheeks, smile lines and jawline.

A NEW ERA

Dior introduces the updated Rouge Dior Forever. The refreshed icon features a bullet-style tip with a formula that promises 16 hours of wear with no transfer. Now, it features double the dosage of red peony extract for better lip hydration. The lipsticks come in 18 shades – four of which are iconic colours like 999 Forever Dior.

SMELLS LIKE SPRING

Ten years after introducing the Baiser Volé fragrance, Cartier has reinvented the scent. The new iteration is a bolder embodiment of lilies, capturing all aspects of the flower. The bouquet recreates the bloom’s fresh, silky

leaves, powdery stamens and softness of the petals.

TAME YOUR TRESSES FLOWER POWER

Chanel adds two new products to its No. 1 De Chanel range: the Red Camellia Revitalizing Lotion and Body Serum-in-mist. Infused in both formulas is the signature red camellia flower extract, enriched with protocatechuic acid to target signs of ageing. The lotion is a silky gel that leaves skin feeling refreshed, while the mist gently moisturises dry skin.

Shiseido Professional’s Sublimic Airy Flow range now features new products to tame thick and unruly tresses through its thermal motion technology. A signature product is the mask that’s formulated with Thermo-shaping Complex technology. Heat application activates the complex, which in turn mimics the effect of a hair iron to make your locks easier to style.
