Aesop
In life’s hustle and bustle, Aesop introduces Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm, perfect for those braving harsh environments or seeking comfort. This hand balm provides immediate relief and long-lasting hydration, offering a sanctuary of nourishment.
Designed to soften and nurture, Eleos enhances moisture retention with a blend of humectants, emollient butters, and oils, keeping hands resilient and supple. Despite its creamy texture, the balm finishes non-greasy, perfect for hardworking hands. Its woody, herbaceous, and spicy aroma—featuring Cedar Atlas, Patchouli, and Clove Bud essential oils—invokes grounding and vitality.
To use, massage a small amount into clean hands, focusing on cuticles. Reapply after rigorous activities or frequent cleansing to maintain softness and elasticity.
The Aesop Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm is available from 15th July onwards at Aesop signature stores and https://malaysia.aesop.com
Lancôme
Following the success of Rénergie’s top-tier skincare, the new Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye targets the delicate eye contour, where aging signs appear first. The skin around the eyes ages faster due to its thinness, fewer sebaceous glands, constant movement, and dehydration.
Lancôme’s 40 years of regenerative science bring a high-performance anti-aging serum to address these issues. The triple-power formula features Hyaluronic Acid and SNK Peptide to smoothen and tighten wrinkles, Vitamin C and Niacinamide to brighten and even skin tone, and Vitamin F to smooth the skin’s texture. The serum blends three potent textures for a refreshing, quick-absorbing application. Tested on all skin types, it delivers visible results: reduces dynamic eye lines by 30%, lifts eyelids by 14%, and depuffs eye contour by 30%.
Apply morning and night, after Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum and before Rénergie H.P.N. 300-Peptide Cream. Gently press and lift the under-eye area and smooth from under the eye to crow’s feet. Rénergie H.C.F.
Triple Serum Eye (20ML) retails at RM430, on their E-boutique, Lazada, Sephora, and at physical boutiques & Facebook Shop.
The Ordinary
The Ordinary has launched its new Balancing & Clarifying Serum, a one-step treatment designed to target skin congestion, promote a healthy pore appearance, and control visible oil. Known for democratising single-ingredient skincare, The Ordinary’s latest offering combines multiple active technologies to address complex skin concerns with a streamlined approach.
With the rise of “skinimalism” and hashtags like #minimalskincare gaining over 48 million views on TikTok, many are moving away from multi-step routines in favour of simpler solutions. The Balancing & Clarifying Serum caters to this trend, effectively targeting seven skin concerns, including excess oil, uneven texture, and enlarged pores, with just a few drops.
Congested skin, characterised by textural irregularities, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone, is a common concern often caused by increased sebum production and dead skin cell buildup. This new serum addresses these issues through a blend of active ingredients such as N-Acetyl Glucosamine for exfoliation, Polylysine, L-carnitine, and Sarcosine for oil control, and Lactococcus Ferment Lysate and Ectoin to reinforce the moisture barrier.
The Ordinary’s Balancing & Clarifying Serum promises to reduce surface shine, decrease pore visibility, and enhance overall radiance. With its multi-active approach, it aims to simplify skincare routines while delivering effective results. Prudvi Kaka, Chief Scientific Officer at The Ordinary, emphasises the brand’s commitment to innovation and providing customers with effective, multi-pathway solutions for their skincare needs.

Montblanc
Montblanc has always rewritten the rules, achieving legendary status with innovative designs. The Montblanc Legend man embodies this spirit, overcoming challenges and empowering others.
Montblanc Legend Blue captures a new side of the Legend man. This fresh, woody aromatic fragrance reflects his radiant aura, gentle strength, and unconventional wisdom. He stays calm and determined in a chaotic world, balancing strength with softness and ambition with humility.
