THIS MONTH’S BLOCKBUSTER SKINCARE RELEASES ALL CENTRE AROUNd THE QUEST FOR ETERNAL YOUTH. CHIA YING NA DISTILS THE BEAUTY AND SCIENCE BEHIND EACH ONE.
(FROM LEFT) FOR FAST RESULTS: As its name suggests, YSL Beaute’s new Pure Shots – which covers a lotion, three daytime serums, one for night and a plumping cream – promises to be a quick fix with ultra-potent formulas created using the most active botanicals from the brand’s Ourika Gardens. TO TARGET THE TRICKIEST SPOTS: Kanebo’s new Wrinkle-Lift Serum is a firming treatment specifically for areas around the eyes, mouth and forehead (ie the ones that show signs of ageing first), promising to work deep at the dermis level to promote hyaluronic acid and collagen production. IF YOU’RE INTO HANBANG SKINCARE: Formerly known as Timetreasure Invigorating Cream, Sulwhasoo elevates its rich anti-ageing moisturiser with anti-inflammatory reishi mushroom, Active Ginseng Cell and S-phytoalexin – a bean-derived skin barrier-restoring ingredient – and a new name: Timetreasure Honorstige Cream. (PS. The serum from the same line has been similarly updated.)
