Dior J’adore Les Adorables
Following in the footsteps of their predecessors, these three latest additions to the Les Adorables line embody the vibrant, fresh floral essence of J’adore, offering a pleasurable experience upon contact with the skin. The shower gel (centre), enriched with jasmine extract, cloaks the body in a delicate, airy foam that leaves the skin feeling silky- smooth and delicately fragranced. Meanwhile, the body milk (near left), fortified with jasmine wax, lavishes the skin with nourishment, enveloping it in a gentle embrace that enhances its softness. Completing the trio, the moisturising cream (far left) for the hands, nails and neckline area stands out as the ideal companion for adding a subtly fragranced layer of softness at any moment throughout the day.
La Mer The Moisturizing Fresh Cream
La Mer introduces a cutting-edge addition to its luxury skincare line. Called The Moisturizing Fresh Cream, this innovative product has a lightweight, cool-gel consistency, offering deep moisturisation. But it doesn’t stop at hydration; it also aims to alleviate the appearance of redness and enhance the skin’s resilience against environmental stressors. Featuring La Mer’s proprietary Moisturise Matrix Technology coupled with antioxidant- rich Lime Tea, it promises anti-ageing benefits as well. Additionally, the brand’s trademarked Miracle Broth ingredient helps balance sebum levels and prevent visible reactivity for healthy-looking skin.
Clarins Precious: La Mousse Cleanser and Revitalising UV Protector
A pioneer in botanical science and luxury skincare, Clarins unveils two additions to its coveted Precious collection: La Mousse Cleanser and Revitalising UV Protector.The new formulations address the visible effects of ageing and environmental stressors. La Mousse Cleanser, a weightless foam, ensures a deep cleanse without stripping the skin of moisture thanks to a harmonious blend of camellia oil, raspberry water, leaf of life, and extracts of soapwort and nopal. Meanwhile, the SPF-enhanced Revitalising UV Protector illuminates, protects and replenishes the skin.
Boss The Collection Invincible Bergamot Eau de Parfum
Each fragrance within Boss The Collection epitomises the brand’s hallmark elegance, mirroring the essence and expertise of its bespoke tailoring. The latest entrant, Invincible Bergamot, exerts its effortless flair with fresh and timeless bergamot in a powerful liaison with intense leather accord to capture the soft power of a suede jacket.
Laneige Bouncy & Firm Sleeping Mask
Like a balloon needing air to stay buoyant, our skin requires support to bounce back from facial movements such as smiling, frowning and laughing. Infused with a proprietary peony and collagen complex along with peptides, the Laneige Bouncy & Firm Sleeping Mask is designed to enhance and maintain collagen levels, revitalising and firming the complexion. Moreover, its sorbet-like texture– packed with 45,000 Hydro-Melt Glow Capsules–establishes a moisturising glow barrier overnight, injecting life and radiance into dull, tired skin. That’s not all, though. The mask is infused with Laneige’s exclusive Sleepscent and the floral essence of peonies to uplift spirits before bedtime. This product is a true ally for both our skin and well-being.
Elizabeth Arden Retinol + HPR Ceramide
Elizabeth Arden introduces the Retinol + HPR Ceramide Capsules Rapid Skin-Renewing Serum and Rapid Skin Renewing Water Cream, showcasing over 120 years of innovation. This next-generation retinol duo, 10 times more potent than pure retinol, is designed to effectively tackle skincare concerns from acne to fine lines sans irritation, making it ideal for both new and experienced retinol users. The serum offers a precise dose of potent ingredients to visibly reduce wrinkles in one week, promote skin firmness, and enhance texture and tone. The Water Cream, with its lightweight formula, similarly targets wrinkles, dark spots and pores while ensuring hydration and minimising irritation. Both products use encapsulation technology to preserve potency, making them suitable for daily use.
