Skincare today is increasingly focused on long-term skin health rather than short-term fixes. Formulations are designed to support the skin barrier, improve resilience and maintain balance across changing environments and lifestyles.

The emphasis has shifted towards consistent care that enhances overall skin condition over time, as these latest products demonstrate.

Radiance and barrier support

Paloma’s 24/7 Repair Serum is designed to treat concerns such as hyperpigmentation, lacklustre complexion and signs of ageing.

Formulated as a daily skin multivitamin, it addresses seven primary skin concerns: wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, firmness, elasticity, texture, radiance and barrier support, achieved via a multitude of hardworking antioxidants.

While fragrance-free, the product has an inherently fresh and herbaceous natural aroma, providing what’s often described as a spa-like ritual.

Restoring youthful skin

The Ordinary introduces Volufiline 92% + Pal-Isoleucine 1%, a targeted, water-free serum designed to restore facial volume in key areas such as the under-eyes, cheeks, temples and smile lines.

Inspired by the growing demand for Volufiline (the latest viral ingredient that many are claiming is just as good as filler), this formula is meant to deliver a ready-to-use, science-backed solution that works where skin needs it most.

Powered by two proven technologies, this high-performance treatment supports the skin’s natural structure, helping to visibly plump, improve elasticity and restore a more youthful appearance over time.

A complete cleanse

Farmacy’s Green Clean Whipped Foaming Cleanser is a soap-free, pH-balanced and oil-free formula designed to deeply cleanse without over-stripping the skin.

Perfect for use on combination to oily skin, this lightweight cleanser helps purify pores and remove excess oil while maintaining the skin’s natural balance.

Powered by moringa to clear dirt and pollution and papaya enzymes for gentle exfoliation, it aims at giving you a clean, smooth and refreshed complexion.

Smooth and soft

The Body Shop’s White Tea & Elderflower Hand Cream is a non-greasy balm that absorbs quickly, delivering 48 hours of moisture.

Designed to leave hands feeling soft, smooth and delicately scented, the fragrance combines tonic water, cucumber and apple puree with white tea, elderflower, conference pear and soft cedarwood-musk base notes.

Lush bodycare

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna’s Big Dripp’r Body Wash Vanilla Flowers is a thick, rich, honey-like wash that coats your skin and builds to a lush lather.

With scent of warm florals, its key notes of Tahitian vanilla, sugared woods, fluffy musk and vanilla orchid give off a warm, sultry and rich floral gourmand.
