The secret to radiant, youthful skin lies in the right beauty products. From serums to peels, each one can help refresh your complexion and give it that extra boost of vitality and nourishment.
Skin brightening solution
Clinique’s Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Clearing Serum targets dark spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), uneven tone, sallowness, dullness and pores.
It includes the proprietary molecule UP302 and pure niacinamide – to balance more potent brightening actives with more soothing ones.
Helping to inhibit melanin production and slowing down melanin transfer, its soothing ingredients help reduce irritation, making skin less susceptible to future dark spots.
Boosting collagen
Skinmade’s Golden C + Exoshot Collagen Boosting Filler Concentrate aims at visibly improving skin texture, smoothness and elasticity.
Ingredients include gold particles, glutathione and ascorbic acid, which make up a patented, highly stabilised form of vitamin C that helps boost collagen production.
In a tube designed for precise application, key benefits include collagen boosting and photo-ageing protection, improvement of elasticity and firmness, among others.

Deep healing
L’Oreal Paris’s reformulated Glycolic Bright Anti-Dark Spot Serum now features the revolutionary ingredient Melasyl.
The product aims at reducing dark spots by up to 77% within eight weeks, inhibiting the formation of dark spots deep within the skin, targeting early-stage melanin molecules before they become visible.
Ingredients include niacinamide, known for its anti-inflammatory properties and glycolic acid which gently exfoliates to diminish existing dark spots.
Improving skin vitality
Shiseido’s new Ultimune Power Infusing Serum includes Power Fermented Camellia+, a patented innovation derived from Japanese camellia from Gotoh Island.
This potent ingredient harnesses antioxidant-rich camellia seed extract, combined with traditional Japanese ki-koji fermentation to amplify amino acid benefits.
It is meant to slow the skin’s ageing process by reinforcing moisture retention, barrier strength, and skin vitality.
