Discover the top skincare products for a radiant complexion, including serums, eye treatments, and lip oils from leading brands like Estée Lauder, Lancôme Givenchy, Clinique, and Fenty Beauty.
Achieving a radiant, glowing complexion requires more than just basic skincare; it demands a curated selection of facial products tailored to your skin type and concerns. A regular cleansing, exfoliating and moisturising regime is essential for maintaining healthy, hydrated skin but adding in the right night creams, under eye potions and lip oil gives your face the care and protection it deserves.
The key is to embrace your individuality, make informed decisions, and prioritize self-care. With McKinsey estimating that by 2027, the global beauty industry will record over $580 billion of retail sales, growing at six percent per year, let’s take a look at some of the best skincare products in the market.
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronised Multi-Recovery Complex
Luxury beauty brand Estée Lauder, which began in 1946 as a homemade skincare business based on a simple premise that every woman can be beautiful, has increased emphasis on its skincare products. Its hero facial care product, Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronised Multi-Recovery Complex, is a deep, fast-penetrating face serum with the brand’s patented 1-in-60 million Tripeptide-32 which reduces signs of aging.
Using it every night before bed ensures that skin looks younger, healthier, radiant and even toned. The power of seven serums delivers moisture to plump dry lines; in just three weeks, lines appear reduced; skin feels firmer and elasticity improves; skin looks brighter with renewed clarity; there is barrier repair in just two hours; 72-hour hydration with Hyaluronic Acid; and skin looks plump, hydrated and glowing with 8 hour anti-oxidant protection. What’s more, pores look diminished over time and skin looks more youthful with an oil-free texture.
Lancôme Absolue L’Extrait Elixir Eye Treatment
Lancôme was founded in 1935 by Guillaume d’Ornano and Armand Petitjean with the vision of encapsulating French elegance and making women happier. Per Vogue: “Crafted with care, decades of research and scientific expertise, each Lancôme high-performance product conveys a beautiful story… Whether it’s motivating us to be mindful of our environment, helping us embrace our femininity, or even encouraging us to channel our inner beauty, caring for a healthier, happier tomorrow encapsulates Lancôme’s sense of generosity.”
The luxury brand’s hero products include an eye cream that helps reduce wrinkles and upper eyelid sagging while improving smoothness around the eye contour. Absolue L’Extrait Elixir Eye Treatment is infused with Lancome’s latest innovative rose discovery: The Absolue Blackbiosis™ , The Absolue Perpetual Rose Extract ™, Proxylane and LHA. In about eight weeks, crow’s feet wrinkles and under- eye wrinkles appear reduced, upper eye-lid sagging improves, and skin is smoother.
Shiseido Uplifting and Firming Cream
Few know that Japan’s family-owned business pharmacy transformed into global beauty giant Shiseido that operates worldwide. The purpose-driven luxury beauty brand that took into consideration Japan’s culture and heritage and created new value is acclaimed for its rich, sculpting anti aging Uplifting and Firming Cream which visibly lifts skin and reveals a dramatically firmer, revitalised complexion.
This scientifically advanced moisturiser helps offset the effects of aging. Skin feels firm and sculpted with renewed fullness and bounce. The product’s hero ingredient, KURENAI-TruLift Complex, and ReNeura Technology++™, strengthens skin’s natural support and improves the appearance of facial contours and definition. VP8, a combination of five antioxidant ingredients, provides added protection. Regular usage will lead to youthful-looking skin as the skin appears brighter and subsequently there is visible improvement in the appearance of wrinkles.
Fenty Treatz Hydrating + Strengthening Lip Oil
Created by pop star Rihanna, LVMH-owned Fenty Beauty redefines the beauty industry with light-as-air formulas that can be layered. Few know that the iconic singer created Fenty Beauty “so that women everywhere would be included,” focusing on a wide range of traditionally hard-to-match skin tones.
The beauty brand’s hero product, a lip oil that instantly hydrates and strengthens lips’ moisture barrier, keeps lips hydrated, smooth and flake-free. This non-sticky lip oil keeps lips’ moisture barrier on lock for fuller-looking lips. Its antioxidant-rich formula defends lips against environmental stressors, instantly conditions and softens lips, nourishes dry, chapped lips and plumps with hydration. The Jojoba Seed and Rosehip Fruit Oils bind moisture to lips while it’s a treat to use with its clear, non-sticky formula. Fenty Treatz Hydrating + Strengthening Lip Oil is also vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free and earth-conscious.
Givenchy Skin Ressource Rich Cream
Maison Givenchy has recently given its skincare line an upgrade with Skin Ressource. This rich cream, with a soothing scent, melts into the skin to envelop it in an intensive 72-hour moisturisation. Its rich texture soothes and nourishes even the driest, dehydrated skin so that it becomes nourished and plumped and also reinforces the cutaneous barrier as well as preserving skin from the negative effects of stress.
Visibly released from stress, skin radiates with a natural glow. With 96 per cent ingredients from natural origin, including the potent Beauty Moss Complex®, Givenchy Skin Ressource Rich Cream delivers profound moisture and nurturing care, deeply de-stressing every layer of your skin.
Clinique For Men™ Exfoliating Tonic
Clinique Laboratories, subsidiary of the Estée Lauder Companies and manufacturer of dermatologist-driven line of skincare, cosmetics, toiletries and fragrances, is popular among men and women since its launch in 1968 as the world’s first dermatologist-driven brand. Its premiere face care product for men, Clinique For Men™ Exfoliating Tonic, is a daily exfoliator that de-flakes, unclogs pores and smooths skin.
No matter what the age or skin type, men must integrate exfoliation into their skincare routine. Exfoliation helps remove the top layer of dead skin that allows the rest of the skincare products to penetrate properly and make the facial skin young, radiant and healthier. And though exfoliation has a number of benefits, men must be careful not to over-exfoliate as this can aggravate the skin and cause further dryness. For best results, exfoliate two to three times a week.
