The hottest beauty launches of 2025: perfumes, make-up and skincare

Kosé Infinity’s new Beauty Hand Serum Wrinkle & Bright, a limited-edition collaboration with Peter Rabbit, is a welcome addition for those who treat hand care seriously. This dual-action serum is not just a nice fragrance; it’s a sophisticated treatment formulated to target both the appearance of wrinkles and the prevention of dark spots.

Its powerful dual-active formula contains ‘Wrinkle Niacin’ (Niacinamide) and the brightening agent Tranexamic Acid, which work to suppress melanin production. The serum is designed to leave hands plump and firm, thanks to a ‘Skin Fusioning Element’ and ‘Shape Memory Gel’, offering rich yet non-sticky moisture that lasts even when wet.

The 2025 limited release features two 55g scents: the elegant Fresh Rose, inspired by a bouquet of roses, and the tranquil Floral Green, inspired by lush greenery. This launch also marks Kosé’s first partnership with Peter Rabbit and the character’s 160th anniversary.

To make fragrance more personal and interactive, Rare Beauty has introduced the Fragrance Layering Balm. These silky, lightweight balms are meant to be worn alone or layered with the Rare Eau de Parfum to add dimension and intensity. The solid-to-skin formula melts with body heat, leaving a non-sticky finish on pulse points such as the wrists and neck. The collection includes four distinct scents: the elegant Floral Peony Blossom, the comforting Amber Vanilla, the vibrant Fresh Bergamot, and the bold Woody Oak. Housed in a pocket-sized tube, these portable balms act as perfume enhancers to subtly transform how a fragrance wears throughout the day.

NOVEMBER

For a truly luxurious lip experience, look to the new Tom Ford Fabulous Lip. This solid lipstick is described as gliding on with liquid-like ease, delivering rich colour and hydrating comfort. The formula, which features a transformative gel matrix, melts onto the lips for a lightweight feel and a colour-true, semi-matte finish with subtle luminosity. Available in a collection of 10 shades, the lipstick is presented in a chic matte black-on-black case complete with a click-seal cap to ensure freshness.

After years of acclaim for their liquid blush, Huda Beauty has finally launched its very first powder blush. The limited-edition drop features three matte powder palettes, each packed with three ultra-pigmented matte shades and a pearl blushlighter for a soft-focus, blurred finish. The shade options include Rosy Berry, Toasty Peach and Baby Pink. For maximum intensity, each palette comes with a matching shade from the Liquid Blush Filter collection for easy layering. A separate Diffusing Cheek Brush has also been launched, designed with a full angled shape for effortless blending and coverage.

The latest quest in K-beauty is moving beyond glass skin to achieve glass lips. Glow Recipe’s Glass Balm delivers just that, drawing inspiration from bingsoo, Korea’s beloved shaved ice dessert known for its glossy, dewy finish. The balm melts effortlessly onto the lips, providing a high-shine, weightless coating that is never sticky, leaving the pout looking plump and juicy. Powered by Hyaluronic Microspheres and Fruit Actives, each swipe delivers twelve-hour hydration. The collection features four shades nodding to the brand’s fruit heritage: Strawberry Bingsoo, Watermelon Bingsoo, Blackberry Bingsoo, and Ice Bingsoo.

Designed locally in Singapore and developed in collaboration with researchers in Taiwan, wellness lifestyle brand Another Land has launched its range of sustainable Face, Body, and Home essentials here. The brand, which focuses on enhancing self-care routines, is already a fixture at The Ritz-Carlton Spa. For a perfect bedtime ritual, consider the Sleep Well Set, which includes the Swaying Forest Pillow Mist with Frankincense and True Lavender Oil, and the Calm Immersion Body Lotion featuring Organic Aloe Extract and Shea Butter. Local customers can now shop online and can also experience the debut, including an exclusive new launch, at the Boutiques Singapore pop-up from November 21 to 23.

The renewed Day Serum from Japan’s leading suncare brand, Anessa, is being re-introduced as a 2-in-1 tone-up sunscreen, forming part of the brand’s ‘round-the-clock’ suncare concept. This updated formulation includes enhanced skincare ingredients that boost its protective abilities. Key additions are Raspberry Extract, which optimises epidermal turnover to support skin plumpness and moisture, and M-Tranexamic Acid, which helps suppress excessive melanin production. This acid is specifically included to target and improve dark spots caused by UV ageing, making the serum a powerful option for brightening and protecting the complexion.

OCTOBER

Swedish natural skincare brand L:a Bruket introduces its limited- edition Beach Rose Collection. Inspired by the raw beauty of Sweden’s west coast, the line evokes summer days by the sea, where blooming wild roses mingle with fresh marine air, thanks to its blend of floral notes with eucalyptus, cedarwood and patchouli. The collection includes the Hand & Body Wash, Body Lotion, and the Hand Cream in two sizes.

Guerlain unveils the 6th Generation Orchidée Impériale Longevity Cream, backed by two decades of orchid research. Powered by the resilient Vanda coerulea—dubbed the “orchid of ten thousand generations”—the cream regenerates skin, refines texture, and slows visible aging. Offered in a lightweight or richer ceramide-infused texture, it now comes in a refillable design to reduce waste.

Huda Beauty expands its cult-favourite lip range with the Lip Contour Stain and Faux Filler Jelly Oil. The hybrid liner-meets- stain delivers bold, longwearing colour with a dual-sided applicator that makes overlining foolproof. Available in eight shades, it creates a precise, matte finish that won’t budge. For a glossy twist, layer on the new Faux Filler Jelly Oil. To mimic founder Huda Kattan’s go-to hack for a high-shine pout: apply the stain along the lip perimeter, blend quickly, then top with the jelly oil.

Post-procedure downtime— marked by redness, swelling and discomfort—has long been the trade-off for aesthetic treatments. Developed in Singapore, Revagi: The Recombinant Serum, is changing that. Originally inspired by tissue engineering in cardiovascular medicine, it uses a bioengineered collagen complex to speed healing, calm inflammation and restore comfort. Adopted by leading plastic surgeons, it bridges medical innovation with daily skincare for faster recovery and rejuvenation.

To bottle the vibrant energy of a continuous weekend, Sol de Janeiro has launched the limited-edition Sundays in Rio Perfume Mist. This floral gourmand fragrance is crafted to evoke both deep comfort and an exhilarating pulse, fully embodying the brand's spirit of self-celebration. The profile opens with the tingling pop of pink pepper and luscious pear, before melting into a decadent heart of warm vanilla and orris. As the scent settles, it embraces the skin with a cozy finish of amber musk, inviting you to embrace that never-ending weekend feeling, every single day. Its status as a limited edition makes it a coveted addition to any fragrance collection.

Rare Beauty debuts its first fragrance, Rare Eau de Parfum, inspired by founder Selena Gomez’s vision of a scent for any occasion. The new Rare Eau de Parfum, opens with creamy notes of caramel and pistachio. It then gives way to a sensual heart of rich vanilla and spicy ginger before settling into an earthy blend of sandalwood and skin musks. The result is a warm, evocative scent that is sophisticated without being overly sweet. Beyond the scent, the bottle has been designed with accessibility in mind, as the brand partnered with a hand therapist to create an ergonomic design that makes dispensing effortless.

SEPTEMBER

Clé de Peau Beauté has enhanced its three-step Key Radiance Care regimen, using Skin Intelligence technology to refine texture, tone and contour. Begin with The Serum, now infused with lemon myrtle extract to maintain the proteins that are key to a youthful- looking complexion. Next, the reformulated lotions, the Hydro- Softening Essence Lotion and Hydro-Clarifying Essence Lotion, are enriched with Fortified Amino Ferment, an ingredient derived from traditional Japanese rice koji, to build the skin’s resilience against dryness. To complete the regimen, the moisturisers—the Protective Day Emulsion, Intensive Night Emulsion, Advanced Protective Day Cream, and Advanced Intensive Night Cream—now incorporate new technologies that work in harmony with the skin’s circadian rhythm, promoting firmness and elasticity day and night.

Diptyque adds a new jewel to its Les Essences de Diptyque collection with the launch of Lazulio, an Eau de Parfum. Inspired by the hypnotic beauty of the peacock feather and the intense blue of the lapis lazuli stone, this creation is an ode to art and nature. Masterfully composed by perfumer Quentin Bisch, the scent is an amber woody blend that contrasts the zesty freshness of rhubarb with the creamy warmth of benzoin, balanced by notes of Haitian vetiver and rose. The fragrance is housed in a beautifully designed, refillable bottle, created in collaboration with artist Nigel Peake, which serves as a collector’s piece. The launch also spotlights the rest of the Les Essences de Diptyque collection, where unscented elements like bark, water lily and desert rose are interpreted into imaginative compositions and pay homage to nature’s most precious and often scentless treasures.

As a Singapore-born brand with a deep understanding of local skin concerns, Crystal Tomato was founded on a personal mission to combat stubborn pigmentation and melasma. This commitment to delivering radiant, even-toned skin is now extended to daily protection with the new Beyond Sun Protection sunscreen. Dermatologist-formulated and backed by clinical studies, this is a true multi-tasker that goes beyond a basic shield. It offers ultra-high UV protection with an impressive SPF 79+ and PA++++ rating, while also creating a barrier against blue light, infrared radiation, and environmental pollutants. The lightweight, non-comedogenic formula is also clinically proven to improve skin texture, tone, and moisture. Designed to blend seamlessly under makeup and withstand our humid climate, it’s a new-generation solution that both defends and nurtures your skin.

La Mer has introduced the Balancing Treatment Lotion, a watery formula designed to restore the skin’s equilibrium. At its core is the brand’s iconic Miracle Broth, which energises the skin’s natural renewal process, along with newly introduced Marine Balancing Bio-Algae, which regulates excess sebum, and a Post-Biotic Ferment to soothe irritation. Regular use can diminish the appearance of “bikou bumps”—those small, textural imperfections that often appear on the chin and cheeks—while also improving firmness and elasticity. The fresh hydrogel texture melts into a liquid on contact, delivering a constant stream of hydration.

Tatcha’s latest launch, The Dewy Milk Moisturizer, brings its signature dewy glow to those with combination and oily skin types. Formulated at the Tatcha Institute in Tokyo, this silky, featherlight liquid moisturiser is enriched with Japanese purple rice, zinc hyaluronate, and prebiotic green Tea to deliver a refined glow and balanced hydration.

AUGUST

Whether it’s the high-shine pop of Orange Tulipe or the delicate shimmer of Rose Papillon, every polish is crafted with over 70 per cent naturally derived ingredients and a precision brush for effortless application. The standout? Blanc Orage, a pearlescent top coat that lends luminous depth on its own or layered over colour.

Meet the all new No.1 de Chanel Serum-in-Mist: an ultra-lightweight antioxidant formula for reviving tired skin or refreshing makeup on the go. Encased in a compact red bottle that fits neatly into your bag or pocket, it blends red camellia extract and camellia leaf buds to hydrate, soothe and protect the skin throughout the day. Whether you’re desk-bound or in transit, it’s the kind of daily luxury you’ll want within reach.

Nars adds a new glow-giver to its Light Reflecting lineup with the new Luminizing Powder that delivers a weightless, buildable glow with a silky, serum-like feel.

Infused with light-reflecting technology and golden seaweed extract, it softens the look of pores and fine lines while imparting an illuminated finish. Perfect for those who want a wearable glow with staying power.

In a refreshing departure from its haute parfumerie classics, Henry Jacques introduces Il Y Avait Un Jardin..., a new collection of cologne-inspired fragrances designed for daily wear.

JUNE

eLVes, the newest women’s fragrance from Louis Vuitton, is a confident ode to modern femininity–bold, free-spirited and instinctively elegant. At its heart is a radiant rose accord–combining Bulgarian rose absolute with gently extracted Centifolia rose, developed exclusively for the maison. This is blended with a rare extraction of lily-of-the-valley, once considered a “silent” flower in perfumery. Fruity notes of blackcurrant, peach, and coconut milk add lightness, while ginger, cinnamon, ambroxan and patchouli bring heat and depth. The vibrant, violet-hued formula is housed in Louis Vuitton’s signature cylindrical flacon, and is available with a matching black lambskin and monogram canvas travel case that is finished with a violet microfibre lining.

Inspired by the spirit of wonder in Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, Kurky by Maison Francis Kurkdjian channels childlike curiosity while still appealing to the refined sensibility of an adult wearer. The scent opens with a burst of tutti-frutti—Italian for “all fruits”—a bright sweetness reminiscent of childhood treats that bring a smile to your face. However, Kurky is no simple confection. Once it settles, the perfume reveals a creamy, velvety heart that envelops the senses, balancing its playful top notes with a comforting warmth. The final notes of musky vanilla add an addictive depth, making it a scent that lingers long after the first spritz.

Joyful and modern with just a touch of rebellion, Eau Splendide is the fifth fragrance in Chanel’s Chance line—a fruity-floral creation by in-house perfumer Olivier Polge, distinguished by its purple-hued juice housed in the signature round bottle. The scent opens with a sparkling and bright raspberry accord. At its core, a vivid bouquet of rose, violet and rose geranium, cultivated in Chanel’s fields in Grasse, sets a floral tone that is both vibrant and composed. As the scent evolves, it unveils a delicate balance of white musk and cedarwood, giving it a lasting presence that is both grounded and luminous.

Clé de Peau Beauté unveils its Gratitude Gifts collection, a limited-edition trio of the brand’s most coveted essentials: The Serum, UV Protective Cream and Hand Cream. The set arrives in an exclusive packaging created in collaboration with New Zealand artist Andrea Muller, who is known for her vibrant botanical art.

The Sheer Colour Stick returns in two radiant blush tones: coral-gold Reset and golden pink Refresh.

Eyes are dressed in a new five-shade palette of golden rose, coral, copper and soft matte browns. Lips glow with sheer, glossy colour in four Rouge Coco Flash shades—from golden beige Sun Bliss to brick-red Late Sun.

The Pillow Talk Love Effect Lipsticks come in four new shades across Charlotte’s iconic Matte Revolution and K.I.S.S.I.N.G. formulas. From dewy pinks to velvety mauves and glowing nudes, each lipstick is inspired by the soft, flushed look of just-kissed lips.

Completing the collection, the Beauty Soulmates Palettes pair Charlotte’s award-winning Airbrush Flawless Finish powder with a fresh Pillow Talk blush—now infused with Colour Correcting Pigment Technology. The result: brighter, smoother-looking skin and a naturally lifted, love-blushed glow.

Rihanna’s turning up the heat (and hydration) with a new summer drop that’s all about juicy scents, glossy finishes and soft, glowing skin.

The latest addition to the Libre family, L’Eau Nue, marks a fresh shift for Yves Saint Laurent Beauty—both in formula and feeling. Alcohol-free and infused with skincare benefits, this new iteration is designed to be worn on skin and hair, delivering a subtle glow alongside a sensorial scent experience. Bright and soft all at once, the fragrance opens with citrusy notes of green mandarin and Calabrian bergamot, before settling into a radiant heart of orange blossom harvested from YSL’s Ourika Community Gardens in Morocco. The familiar floral signature of Libre is still present, but here, it’s softened by an oil-in-water texture that melts into the skin and leaves it subtly perfumed and hydrated.

The idea is simple but smart: a fragrance that feels as good as it smells. Think of it as your summer skin in a bottle—light, luminous and easy. Wear it post-shower, post-beach, or anytime you want that sun-warmed, fresh-skin feel without the intensity of a traditional perfume.

APRIL
