From next month, Lancôme’s Advanced Génifique Serum will be available in a brand new formula, which is a product of 15 years in microbiome research. The launch of the new serum overlaps with the 10th anniversary of the bestselling original Advanced Génifique, which has sold over 25 million bottles around the world and has over 10,000 five-star reviews! Renowned for its ability to activate 10 key signs of youth, the serum has won more than 170 awards.
A face serum suitable for every woman: all ethnicities, ages, and every skin type – dry, combination/normal and oily.
Now is the time to innovate. According to Lancôme, the microbiome research is the future of skincare. The new formula relies on a groundbreaking discovery of an entire symbiotic living ecosystem of microorganisms in human skin. When the microbiome is balanced, the skin is able to protect itself from pathogenic organisms and environmental hazards. When it is disturbed, the skin’s natural defenses and regenerative qualities are also compromised.
The new Advanced Génifique Serum is formulated with seven prebiotic and probiotic fractions, including sugars, amino acids, and lipids that provide a vital source of nutrients for the good bacteria (prebiotics). It also contains three plant or biotech-based prebiotics: Mannose, α-Glucooligosaccharides and β-Fructooligosaccharides.
The formula specifically targets the microbiome, which is normally compromised by external aggressors, aging, and a stressful lifestyle. The patented self-loading dropper releases 30 million prebiotic and probiotic fractions with each application. The serum is weightless, it absorbs instantly, and delivers immediate results. A new holy grail. This new serum is a powerhouse: patented until 2039.
How tot use: Use it morning and evening after cleansing and before your favourite day and night cream for radiant, healthier-looking and smother skin.
Lancôme’s new Advanced Génifique Serum drops at the end of the August. It will be available in three sizes 30, 50 and 75ml, at selected stores worldwide. Come into the beautiful world of Lancôme.

If you dread hitting the snooze button because seeing your morning face makes you want to crawl back to bed, you can now put those days behind you with Elizabeth Arden’s new anti-ageing innovation. Elizabeth Arden are upping their skincare game with the launch of their new Retinol Ceramide Capsules Line Erasing Night Serum. These new capsules are a powerful upgrade on their cult and Holy Grail Advanced Ceramide Capsules Youth Serum thanks to the addition of retinol
A line-erasing night serum that’ll have you waking up looking more youthful, the breakthrough Retinol Ceramide Capsules leverages on the original Advanced Ceramide formula to deliver a more potent serum that not only tackles general skin ageing, but hones in on specific concerns such as lines and wrinkles to deliver renewing and smoothing benefits.
As simple as popping open a capsule to feed your complexion with a dose of the fountain of youth just before you hit the pillow, read on to find out how Elizabeth Arden is re-defining ‘beauty sleep’.
Retinol might be a serious beauty buzzword at the moment, but it’s here to stay. As one of the most potent anti-ageing ingredients on the market, it’s touted as one of the most powerful extracts to rejuvenate the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Sleeping beauty had the right idea. Nighttime is when your skin produces new cells, so it’s best to arm your complexion with the right products to help it repair itself while you snooze — and it doesn’t get better than using Elizabeth Arden’s Retinol Ceramide Capsules. Its key ingredient, retinol, is most effective at night as exposure to sunlight breaks down the active compounds. From the moment you hit the pillow, it starts working: Reducing the look of your pores, diminishing lines and wrinkles, and improving skin tone and texture.
If you’re wondering ‘why retinol?’ out of a myriad of skincare ingredients, it’s because this is a clinically tried and tested ingredient for turning back the clock as it prompts skin cell turnover. Besides kickstarting new cell growth within the dermis, retinol also helps to prevent the breakdown of collagen fibres, thereby supporting your skin’s overall renewal process. With the new capsules, you get twice the anti-ageing power as Elizabeth Arden combines the pros of retinol with ceramide. The former boosts collagen and elastin levels, while the latter complements the retinol by fortifying the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
But wait, isn’t retinol notorious for thinning the skin and causing your complexion to burn more easily in the sun? Well, the derm will tell you that’s an ill-deserved reputation. Let it be known henceforth that retinol actually thickens the skin, as it increases your cell turnover and collagen production. The stuff is meant to be applied around the eyes too, in case you thought retinol would burn the delicate parts of the face. In fact, MDs recommend starting on retinols once you hit the mid ’20s mark. Another busted myth is the ‘higher-percentage-equals-better-results’ way of thinking, as it is the stability of the retinol that directly affects efficacy. Which leads us to… the most effective form of retinol, captured in capsules.

Thanks to Elizabeth Arden’s cutting-edge expertise in anti-ageing science, their manufacturing process ensures every precaution has been undertaken to preserve retinol’s potency. Microsponge technology is used to entrap the active compounds, which enhances the performance of the ingredients. Every capsule is then hermetically sealed to keep the ingredients fresh without the need for added preservatives.
Another factor that contributes to the product’s ace efficacy is its capsule packaging. More than just a stylistic element, the (admittedly cute) rose-pink Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Serum pods, unlike most serums which come in a bottle, have an essential function: It’s an airtight, stable container. The retinol is much more stable than other sources as it isn’t exposed to light, air or other environmental pollutants. In fact, clinical tests on the product have revealed that it is 76% more potent and powerful than similar retinol products from a dropper. This mono-dose method also makes for hassle-free travel skincare; you can simply take away a handful of capsules for every vacay. Another winning point to the capsule design? Each pod is a precisely measured dose, which takes the guesswork out of skincare and eliminates wastage.

All the good things you want for eternally youthful skin can be had with this one serum. The retinol specifically targets fine lines and crow’s feet — sans any irritation and drying with ceramides 2 and 3 to strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier — so you won’t have to fret about the on-set of ‘crepey’ skin. Youth-restoring peptides and a blend of avocado, sunflower, and olive oils are also added to the formula to deliver an extra boost of nourishment and hydration to comfort the skin, so it feels good when you apply this.
These amazing and calming emollient oils also have other incredible skin properties, including boosting hydration, which help to keep the skin beautifully soft and plumped-up.
A new Holy Grail is born? 76 per cent more potent than non-capsulated versions of retinol, clinical studies have shown that regular use of the Retinol Ceramide Capsules over four weeks visibly improves radiance and clarity, with reduced pores and diminished lines and wrinkles. Two months in ups the results, as the deeper wrinkles get smoothed, and tough discolourations and age spots are lightened to reveal more youthful skin. Plumped and rosy skin, check and check.
Easily slotted into your existing skincare regime, all it takes is but a simple twist to break open a capsule and you’re patting the good stuff into your skin. With its easy-to-spread texture and quick penetration, you can get your daily dose of essential retinols just before you go to bed (and while you catch up on the latest episode of your current Netflix obsession). Now behold your #Iwokeuplikethis skin when you greet the rising sun.
The Retinol Ceramide Capsules you can use alone – on cleaned skin – or in combination with a moisture-rich night cream to keep your skin (more) hydrated and smooth. The Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Skin Protectant Night Time Miracle Moisturiser is our favourite option.
Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Capsules Line Erasing Night Serum is available in a package with 30 capsules and 60 capsules.
When it comes to skincare, preventing signs of ageing is easily the top concern for most people, particularly for most people who are well into their 20s and beyond. Everybody wants to retain their fresh-faced look of youth, after all. Sometimes, all it takes – next to healthy food and a good night sleep – is one high-powered hero to save us from emerging wrinkles and slowly sinking skin, and Sisley’s latest Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge Firming Concentrated Serum may well be the saviour we’ve all been waiting for.
The newest addition to the family is the Firming Concentrated Serum, which uses an unprecedented firming formula to target symptoms in more mature skin – from wrinkles to loss of radiance, as well as loosening skin caused by the loss of elastin.
To truly target and reduce early and already visible signs of ageing, we have to look at the root of the symptoms, tracing back to those first inklings of change that cause our skin cells to slump, loosen, and end up as dreaded wrinkles or other undesirable skin textures.
Not only are there intrinsic (hereditary) and extrinsic (environmental) causes of ageing to target, but there’s also a third dimension of ageing – namely behavioural ageing – where day-to-day stresses and poor life choices result in disrupted cellular life cycles.
Sisleÿa is one of the few skincare ranges that studies epigenetics, or DNA manipulation, in order to reset these life cycles, modifying the cellular rhythm, the cell’s functioning energies, and its longevity – determined by the integrity of the DNA in each cell.
Covering all bases to treat the visible signs of ageing as a whole, the longstanding Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge range of luxury creams has been reinventing women’s (and mens)skin care regimes for almost two decades. It was refreshed with a double-strength formula in 2016, released in two products: the silky, quickly absorbing Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge cream, and the Extra Rich formula perfect for dry skin types. With soothing lavender and marjoram essences, they were created to be a joy to apply, both morning and night.
In 2017, Sisley also introduced fresh new iterations of the Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge Eye and Lip Contour cream, which concentrates its deep-penetrating smoothening power to those fine areas of the skin that typically show the first symptoms of age. Today, there’s a full suite of products, ranging from items targeting specific concerns such as collagen production or age spots, to those as all-encompassing as skin renewal.
Two innovations compose the heart of this powerful serum. The first concerns the awakening of the firmness potential at its source thanks to Garden Oregano extract, a new Sisley active ingredient. The second is the reactivation of the skin’s forces of tension thanks to an unprecedented complex: Pro-Firm 7 Phyto-complex with 7 powerful plant-based extracts.
The ‘hyper-serum’ reactivates the skin’s tension forces, reawakening elastin production at the source, and working to revive bouncy, baby-smooth skin.
A high-technology texture containing microbeads of gelled water, trapped in the heart of an oil, immediately gives skin a feeling of lightness and freshness before leaving it with an imperceptible silky finish. As sensorial as it is comforting, it provides a true sheathing sensation.
While being able to lift contours in pesky areas around the cheekbones and jawline, it also works to smooth over imperfections and marks. With studied usage after two months, users touted more youthful, plump and dense skin texture, not to mention resculpted cheeks.
It’s recommended to apply the serum after your Sisleÿa Essential Skin Care Lotion – a nourishing toning lotion – using smooth lifting motions, small skin-stimulating pinches, as well as sweeps of the knuckles for a relaxing massage ritual you can look forward to each night.
As much a treat for the skin as a necessity for sustaining a bright, youthful complexion, the full Sisleÿa suite of anti-ageing heroes – from the newest Firming Concentrated Serum to its long-respected collection of luxury skin saviours – are designed to fully equip you to tackle the tests of time.
Murad skin care products are designed specifically for challenged skin. This results-driven range brings effective solutions for acne and spot problems, cellulite, age related skin changes, hormonal changes, redness, and sensitive skin. Murad, America’s first authentic doctor developed brand, combines advanced scientific research and practical clinical experience. The founder of the brand is Howard Murad, M.D. Shaped, who helped millions to resolve their skin issues. Now Murad will introduce a new serum designed to diminish the effects of chronic stress on skin.
‘Cultural Stress’ is the unnecessary man-made stress we put on ourselves in our attempt to live up to everyone’s expectations. Our hyper-connected, fast-paced society triggers a cnstant flood of damaging stress hormones, like cortisol, that fatigue our bodies and could show in our skin as dehydration, sallowness, roughness and deep expression lines. The best way to manage stress is through balance, and I formulated Recovery Serum for face and eyes with a balacing blend of relaxing and reviving extracts to help manage the visible effects of stress, minimize skin fatigue and renew vibrancy in an instant and over time.
dr. Howard Murad
According to Dr. Murad, life’s pressures affect the whole body including the skin. It directly causes various skin issues or aggravates exiting problems such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis and eczema. The doctor who was among the first to acknowledge the effect of stress on skin, and who even coined the term Cultural Stress to label the stress of modern everyday living, has now developed a special serum to help manage the visible effects of stress.
The Murad Revitalixir Recovery Serum is a stress reliever for the skin. As the doctor explains, our hectic lifestyles can make us look up to 3.5 years older, so managing the stress should become a crucial step in every successful skin care regimen. The special new formula provides a unique blend of ingredients that have been shown to have a positive effect on the skin issues caused by stress and high levels of cortisol. The serum combines moisturizing hyaluronic acid, invigorating caffeine, and a skin-relaxing blend of neuropeptide, paracress, and cannabis. Just like SPF protects from sun damage, Revitalixir corrects the effects of aging from stress – dullness, dehydration, wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness.
The Revitalixir Recovery Serum formula is separated into oil-based spheres and water-based gel. In this way, Murad eliminated traditional binders to allow for a more powerful, concentrated formula, and a better delivery of actives. The product is clinically tested for sensitive skin and suitable for all skin types.

French luxury beauty brand Sisley was created by Hubert d’Ornano, who was one of the first to use botanical essences in cosmetology. The family-owned company creates the highest quality skincare and make-up products, combining the best of nature and science. The brand is renowned for its anti-ageing range, face masks and award winning sun care. It is also well known for its fine perfumes which are created in the tradition of the French ‘haute parfumerie’.
Now Sisley has just introduced a new serum for thirsty skin. Sisley’s Hydra-Global range, designed to offer optimum hydration as a solution for maintaining plump, supple and radiant skin, now welcomes the Anti-Aging Hydration Booster.
The cutting-edge, super-potent moisturizer is announced as a new daily step in reinforcing skin’s auto-hydration properties. The Anti-Aging Hydration Booster increases hydration and deeply quenches the skin to help restore its moisture balance and support its natural hydration mechanisms. The triple-actions serum boosts skin’s autonomous hydration by re-teaching it how to absorb water, promoting the circulation of water within different skin layers, and by improving its water-retention properties.
It reactivates the skin’s natural hydration mechanisms by acting on the 3 key stages of the water cycle. Rehydrated from within, the skin is more supple and more bouncy. The complexion is glowing and wrinkles are softened out. The skin is ready to withstand the hands of time.
Deeply moisturized, the skin is more ready to withstand exposure to various environmental stresses such as cold, wind, sun-induced damage, and pollution. It also makes it more resilient to emotional stress, fatigue, and busy, unhealthy lifestyles. Continuously moisturized, the skin is fresh and radiant while fine lines and wrinkles appear less visible.
Sisley Hydra Global Serum Anti-Aging Hydration Booster is formulated with moisture-retaining Iris extract and Edelweiss extract, hydrating Yeast extracts of Blue Agave from Mexico, Carob seeds, and Japanese Cedar bud extract, and quenching Wild Pansy extract.
Sisley’s new Sisley Hydra Global Serum Anti-Aging Hydration Booster has a refreshing gel-to-serum texture that instantly absorbs leaving a second-skin feel. The freshly scented serum, infused with the essential oils of Sage, Lavender and Marjoram, should be used daily, morning and evening, on face, neck and décolleté.
