As we officially move into autumn, we saw many new skincare releases especially, with a trend of focusing on rejuvenation and renewal. Read on to see which new product piques your interest.
Biossance Squalene + Ectoin Overnight Rescue
Give your skin a boost overnight with this new ‘cushion cream’ from Biossance. The brand’s most intensive renewal cream yet, the Ectoin Overnight Rescue cream is formulated with the titular ectoin, which is a bio-fermented molecule that can fight environmental stressors while binding and sealing moisture into the skin. Together with sugarcane-derived squalene and magnesium, this night cream supports your skin’s nightly renewal cycle so you can wake up with plumper, deeply hydrated skin that’s less sensitive and protected against free radicals.
Caudalie Vinohydra Moisturisers
All-natural deep hydration for all skin types comes in the new Caudalie Vinohydra line of moisturisers. As you’d expect, these moisturisers are powered by Caudalie’s proprietary Organic Grape Water ingredient, along with hydration-boosting hyaluronic acid. Vinohydra comes in three variants tailored for different skin types, which are the Deep Hydration Moisturiser with shea butter for dry skin; the Sorbet Cream Moisturiser with chamomile for normal skin; and the Gel Moisturiser with aloe vera for combination skin. Each version of the Vinohydra moisturiser varies slightly in formulation to provide the best hydration for your skin to relieve discomfort and redness due to sensitivity and dehydration.
Guerlain Orchidée Impériale Morpho-Protocol range
Guerlain introduces three new products to their famed Orchidée Impériale collection, powered by the latest technology to come out of their Orchidarium research centre: the Orchid Morpho-Peptide. The Morpho-Protocol products combines the brand’s expertise in both skincare sciences and their spa techniques that focuses on the skin’s morphology, restoring it to create younger-looking skin. The collection includes the Orchidée Impériale The Fundamental Oil, the Orchidée Impériale The Neck and Decollete Cream, and the Orchidée Impériale The Mask, for a complete care skin routine that boosts collagen formation for more elastic skin.
L’Occitane Immortelle Reset Oil-in-Serum
Reset your skin with the L’Occitane Immortelle Reset serum, designed to protect the skin barrier and boost overnight recovery with its oil-in-serum formulation. Its main ingredients are L’Occitane’s signature Immortelle flower essential oil and the Immortelle Sap-Like extract, which is proven to help improve skin firmness and the appearance of wrinkles and soothe the skin respectively. The new serum also includes Gardenia extract which helps with the maintenance of the skin’s natural cycles and antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.
La Prairie Life Matrix Haute Rejuvenation Cream
Rejuvenate your skin from the cellular level with the premiere product of the new Life Matrix collection from La Prairie. The Swiss skincare brand along with Clinique La Prairie, the longevity clinic nestled in the natural sanctuary of Montreux in Switzerland, worked together to develop and prove the efficacy of the Exclusive Matrix Complex, the key technology of the Life Matrix range. The complex is a multi-dimensional molecular array of actives which includes La Prairie’s Exclusive Cellular Complex which infuses skin cells with new life, and also peony root and calendula flower extract. Promising immediate results, the studies show that skin is noticeably smoother just 15 minutes after application. In comparison, 8 weeks of use creates more elastic and firmer skin with a stronger skin barrier, and luminous and even skin. The Life Matrix cream has been included in two of the luxurious treatments at Clinique La Prairie, and getting yourself a bottle is truly a spa-at-home experience for your skin.
Paula’s Choice CLINICAL PRO Retinaldehyde Treatment
The latest retinoid treatment from Paula’s Choice debuts a high-strength performance and gentler skin tolerability. Featuring the latest industry-favourite ingredient, retinal, the CLINICAL PRO Retinaldehyde Treatment promises advanced results without the irritation that retinols are known for. The 0.1% retinaldehyde concentration is highly potent (and as close to prescription-strenth retinoic acid as possible) and works faster on the skin. The retinal is encapsulated, and together with pomegranate peel extract, is gently released on the skin for minimal irritation. Plus, it can be used with other actives like BHA, AHA, vitamin C, niacinamide, and more (yes, that includes the cult-fave BHA Power Liquid from the brand too), to deliver quicker and deeper results.
SHISEIDO MEN Skin Empowering Cream
SHISEIDO MEN debuts the latest in male-skin-optimised skincare with their Skin Empowering Cream. Their research shows that men’s skin is more prone to accelerated signs of aging, and so this formula fronts Retinol ACE, a retinoid ingredient that has been specially formulated for stability without losing on efficacy, and uses Shiseido’s Soft Shell Emulsification process to create a non-sticky texture. It also includes Sakura Leaf extract which provides anti-oxidant properties. The result is a visible improvement of wrinkles, loss of firmness, and sagging, as well as a 48-hour hydration boost.
MAC Cosmetics Studio Radiance 24HR Luminous Lift Concealer
The glow-girl must-have Studio Radiance line just got better with the release of the Luminous Lift Concealer, a skincare-makeup hybrid formulation that delivers both instant coverage and long-term skin improvement. The formula includes 31 skincare ingredients including niacinamide, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid, that not only hydrates but also reduces the appearance of dark circles with continuous use. It also provides a glowy finish to your everyday makeup routine thanks to the gold and silver pearlescent particles infused in the formula. With shades made to match the Studio Radiance Serum-Powered Foundation, the two products go hand-in-hand to create a base that’s never flat.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Volumizing Tinted Brow Gel
Doing your brows in the morning is a one-and-done deal thanks to this new brow gel from Anastasia Beverly Hills. Its double-sided brush allows for precision application, with the long bristles for sculpting and the short bristles for defining and putting on the finishing touches. It can be paired with ABH’s fan-favourite Brow Wiz too, for a fuller defined brow that will be locked in place – but you can use it on its own for a more natural my-brows-but-better look. It also boasts a 24-hour wear time and a quick-drying formula that makes it perfect for quick on-the-go application, as well as all-night parties.
