From age-defying skincare to makeup that does wonders for your complexion, these new products are worth adding to your cart.

For a shapely V-shape contour: MT Metatron MT Essential Serum
If the ravages of time have left you with concerns like saggy skin and wrinkles, here’s an anti-ageing serum to try. Launched alongside cult-favourite Japanese skincare brand MT Metatron’ newly opened outpost in Singapore’s Isetan departmental store, the MT Essential Serum is formulated with DMAE (short for dimethylaminoethanol), a key ingredient that stimulates muscle contraction to combat the common signs of ageing. Aside from tightening and rebalancing skin that’s lost its elasticity, the fast-absorbing serum also claims to give the face a more shapely V-shaped contour and leaves skin more resilient with use.

To reveal a brighter complexion: Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum Complexion Correcting
Grapes aren’t just great for making wine, they’re also a powerful ingredient in Caudalie’s Vinoperfect Radiance Serum Complexion Correcting. The serum uses the brand’s patented Viniferine, a naturally powerful ingredient made from grapevine sap to reduce the appearance of dark spots such as acne marks, scars, and skin damage. Satiny smooth to the touch, the oil-free serum can be applied on the face, neck, and décolleté every morning and evening for reduced dark spots, even skin tone, and glow radiance.
