It’s been a while since my last Good Stuff post, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t come across some great new skincare products. I’ve been testing a range of items – particularly any that promise to combat the grease-inducing effects of summer – and found several favourites. Here’s to happy skin all season long.
1. Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Contouring Eye Lift
After a recent skin analysis highlighted the fine lines and dryness around my eyes, I’ve been hoarding everything targeted to this delicate area. My favourite by far has been the Ultimate Contouring Eye Lift (HK$1,080) with its cooling ceramic applicator. It does a great job of soothing and moisturising – thanks to ingredients including algae, chamomile and South Sea Pearls – but the best part is the applicator that makes using the cream feel like having an at-home facial. Available at Estée Lauder counters and stores.

2. Jenetiqa La Crème Première Hydra-Lift
I didn’t know what to expect when I received samples of Jenetiqa, a Canadian skincare brand based on the science of Ubiquinol (a highly bio-available form of the antioxidant Coenzyme Q10). But I found the serum, Première Essence (HK$450) and day cream, La Crème Première (HK$530), to be every bit as good as more well-known luxury brands. The herbal-scented formulas are light but hydrating, and have a faint shimmering tint that helps to hide imperfections. Available online from www.canadamall.asia
