Atelier des Fleurs perfumer-artists created an exquisite range of flower-focused Chloé fragrances, and now, these scents are primed to make the bodycare routine an indulgent affair with a new product line, Atelier des Mains.
It includes three silky and rich Hand Creams containing at least 96% ingredients of natural origin to deeply hydrate the skin. They're housed in elegant tubes in the line's signature ivory. Completing the collection and bodycare ritual are the Scented Soaps that are also primarily composed of natural ingredients. Lathered with a splash of water, the airy foam is a sensory delight that leaves the hands nourished and smelling heavenly. Speaking of scent, the two new products are infused with Chloé's signature fragrances Cedrus, Magnolia Alba and Santalum.
Get it at sephora.sg for $50 - $65.

The results that SHISEIDO's anti-ageing Vital Perfection line delivers is, dare we say, perfection, and the same goes for the new Night Concentrate that just joined the family.
Its latest powerhouse formulation features the brand's pioneering LiftDynamic 4D Technology which combats skin sagging using Licorice Extract. It's also infused with powerful active ingredients such as L'ectoine and Burnet Extract that boost the skin's night time recovery processes, so you wake up with lifted, firmer and brighter skin.

#3 ELIXIR The Serum

If your complexion looks drab and your usual skincare routine isn't cutting it, it's a sign to switch things up and invest in a more potent product that will make a real difference. Cue The Serum by Shiseido's flagship brand, ELIXIR.
This powerful serum instantly rejuvenates skin and improves five signs of ageing - fine lines, dark spots, visible pores, sagging, dryness - at a remarkable speed. It's no surprise as the formula is packed with an impressive 21 types of anti-ageing ingredients. That includes CoreXymide, a proprietary ingredient that promotes collagen production. With a lightweight yet rich texture and perfume-like scent, applying it feels like a pampering treat.
Get it on lazada.sg for $104.
#4 Bio-essence Bio-Water UV Shield Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++

The rule of reapplying sunscreen throughout the day - we all know it, though, understandably, most of us ignore it. But there's a new skincare innovation on the market that makes following the rules much easier, and it's sun sticks. These convenient sticks can be swiped on over makeup without smudging and adds a boost of sun protection on the go.
Feeling skeptical? Start with this budget-friendly one by Bio-essence. This sun stick offers broad-spectrum SPF 50+ PA+++ to defend against harmful UV rays. On top of that, Hydro-Matte Technology delivers long-lasting oil control while Niacinamide and Vitamin B5 refine pores and lock in moisture. It leaves a comfortable matte finish and is undetectable on the skin.
Get it on shopee.sg for $26.10.
#5 Derma Lab Sebumclar 2% BHA Exfoliating Liquid

Sensitive, acne-prone skin and exfoliation might seem counterintuitive, but there are products on the market that are gentle and effective, like this new serum by Derma Lab! It contains a mix of 2% BHA and 1% AHA that work together to clear pores, smoothen skin texture, reduce redness and combat acne - all without irritating delicate skin. Infused with hydrating actives like Vitamin B, Sodium Hyaluronate and Ceramide, it also nourishes the skin and is so forgiving that it can be used daily.
Get it on watsons.com.sg for $43.70.
#6 Avène Cleanance Mattifying Aqua-Gel

Sick of breakouts and that mid-day oil slick on your skin? Avène's new moisturiser is here to save the day with a formula that deeply hydrates while preventing zits and excess sebum. Monolaurin keeps oil production in check while Niacinamide fights free radicals that contribute to inflammation and acne. The soft, watery gel melts and disappears into the skin with a refreshing sensation.

Caring Skin has opened its first Medispa dedicated to tackling acne-prone and sensitive skin with a holistic and personalised approach. It starts with a thorough consultation discussing lifestyle and diet habits, along with a skin assessment using Singapore's first 7th Gen VISIA Skin Analysis. This AI-powered tool assesses your skin's unique profile, like hydration and sebum levels, to curate a fully customised treatment.
Another feature that sets it apart is the ProSkin Medical Peel, a breakthrough treatment designed for those with sensitive, oily and acne-prone skin. Chemical peels are usually a no-go as they can be harsh and irritating, but this peel hits different. It provides gentle yet deep exfoliation and antibacterial action, unclogging pores and preventing inflammation with zero discomfort. The Medispa's other innovative technologies include NIR Cell Light to boosts collagen production and the REJURAN® DEPGlow treatment which promotes deep skin healing and rejuvenation.
