Each week, we bring you the best beauty launches in Asia and tell you if it’s worth the hype.
From age-defying skincare to makeup that does wonders for your complexion, these new products—all decked in the prettiest pastel hues, are worth adding to your cart. There’s a fermented sake spray to boost your skin’s collagen production, a highlighting serum that both moisturises and gives you a dewy glow, and lip creams in festive-worthy shades.
Drunk Elephant Sweet Biome Fermented Sake Spray
Alcohol might be bad for your skin, but the new fermented sake spray from cult skincare brand Drunk Elephant is an exception. Formulated without essential oils and fragrances, this potent product is a cocktail of skin goodies like fermented sake extract, kombucha, coconut water, ceramics, and amino acids. These nutrient-dense ingredients help promote collagen production while reducing redness, resulting in skin that’s soft, moisturised, and strong.

Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72Hr Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator
Thirsty skin isn’t a good look, which is why Clinique’s new Moisture Surge product is a must-have during the colder seasons. Featuring a rich cream-gel texture, the moisturiser promises to keep skin hydrated for up to 72 hours. Aloe water and caffeine kick start the hydration, while a trio of lipids lock in moisture and strengthen skin barrier. Packaged in a sustainable glass jar, the product also comes with calming mica to soothe dry and dehydrated skin.

For that fresh and enviable glow: Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops Multi-use Highlighting Serum
Multi-use serums are the new kids on the block and there’s good reason why they’re so popular. Glow Recipe’s multi-use highlighting serum not only gives skin a visibly dewy glow—sans mica, glitter, or pearls, it also hydrates and brightens skin over time thanks to ingredients like niacinamide and moringa oleifera seed oil. Best used before moisturiser or as the last step of your skincare routine, the lightweight and easy-to-absorb serum gives the illusion of flawless skin with a healthy glow. To amp up your festive look, pat a few drops over your makeup and layer with a powder highlighter for extra drama.
