April 2025 beauty launches: a curated collection of six new releases
April 2025 brings a range of new beauty launches, including a fragrance inspired by uncharted wilderness, a retinal moisturiser, and serums. Here’s a look at the latest releases—you might find a new favourite.
Guerlain The Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil Serum
Guerlain’s bestselling serum returns with an advanced deep-repair technology, harnessing the regenerative prowess of three rare black bee honeys, each sourced from distinct ecosystems. These exquisite natural actives work in harmony to accelerate the skin’s renewal process, restoring strength, suppleness, and a luminous vitality.
IDS Hair Regrowth Treatment
Microneedling has long been a mainstay in skincare, yet its benefits extend beyond the complexion, offering a breakthrough in hair revitalisation. IDS’s 60-minute Hair Regrowth Treatment employs a multi-pronged approach, beginning with micro radio frequency to create precise micro-channels that enhance the absorption of IDS’s proprietary hair regrowth serum. This is followed by microneedling to stimulate the scalp’s regenerative processes before concluding with LED light therapy—an invigorating finale designed to awaken follicles and promote healthier, fuller growth.
Le Labo Eucalyptus 20
A scent that embodies uncharted wilderness, Eucalyptus 20 is, in the words of Le Labo’s creative director Deborah Royer, inspired by “a place so vast, so remote you can journey weeks without encountering another soul”. Encased in 50ml, 100ml, and 500ml bottles, this olfactory reverie captures the bracing crispness of eucalyptus, tempered by the warmth of cedarwood and the leathery depth of labdanum. A base of musk and frankincense lends a quiet, contemplative elegance, making for a scent that is both expansive and grounding.
Allies of Skin Retinal 0.1% & Peptides Advanced Repair Night Cream
More than a mere moisturiser and gentler than traditional retinol, this featherlight powerhouse stimulates collagen production, refines blemishes, brightens uneven tone, and smooths fine lines. Infused with a potent blend of amino acids and antioxidants, it not only fortifies the skin against environmental stressors but also enhances its youthful radiance. Newcomers to retinoids should begin with twice-weekly use, gradually increasing as tolerance develops, while seasoned users can indulge in daily application for optimal results.
Terre d’Hermès Eau De Parfum Intense
Inspired by the raging heat of an underground fire rising forcefully to the surface, Hermès’s creative director of perfumery Christine Nagel distils raw, untamed energy into the latest iteration of Terre d’Hermès. The fragrance unfurls with the crisp vibrancy of bergamot, ignited by the piquancy of black pepper, before deepening into a heart of smouldering woods and the mineral intensity of lava stone.
Fenty Beauty You Mist Makeup-Extending Setting Spray
“I wanted to create a setting spray that truly locks in your make-up yet moves with you, not against you,” says Rihanna, founder of Fenty Beauty. Enter You Mist, the brand’s latest setting spray that eschews alcohol, oil, and fragrance while ensuring all-day wear. Anchored by the innovative InvisiFlex Defense Shield technology and enriched with antioxidants, it hydrates the skin while offering sweat-resistant protection against environmental stressors.
