Proven formulas returning after reinvention
This season, beauty brands are reintroducing cult favourites and upgrading everyday essentials - proving that performance-focused formulas and ingredient innovation remain at the heart of effective skincare, haircare, and beauty. From upgraded brush hygiene to dermatologist-approved SPF and advanced hair protection, these standout relaunches deserve a place in your routine.
Lisa & Co Cosmetics: Makeup Brush Soap Relaunch (€19)
Following a sell-out debut, Lisa & Co Cosmetics reintroduces its Makeup Brush Soap, now a must-have staple for beauty enthusiasts and professionals alike. Designed to cleanse deeply without compromising brush quality, this nourishing formula is infused with coconut oil to break down long-wear makeup while preserving bristle softness.
The mineral-binding formula effectively lifts oil and debris without harsh stripping agents, making it ideal for sensitive skin users. Each tin features a removable silicone scrubbing pad for effective cleansing and lather control.
Brush hygiene is not optional - it’s essential. Clean tools improve makeup payoff and help reduce congestion, blemishes, and irritation caused by dirty bristles.
Nivea Cellular Luminous630 Anti-Dark Spot Day Fluid SPF50 (RRP €37.50/40ml)
Nivea relaunches its high-performance Luminous630 Anti-Dark Spot Day Fluid SPF50, reaffirming its place as a leader in affordable, science-driven skincare. Formulated with cell-activating hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, the new formula offers broad-spectrum SPF50 protection while actively targeting hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.
Its lightweight, non-greasy texture is suitable for all skin types and tones, including sensitive, and works to prevent melanin overproduction, offering both corrective and preventative benefits. The range also includes the complementary serum and SPF30 Day Fluid, widely available in high street and pharmacy retailers.
OGX Haircare: Next-Gen Cleansing with Lipi Pro Shield
OGX upgrades its core haircare range with the introduction of Lipi Pro Shield, a major formula enhancement developed by its in-house damage experts. Featured across its bestselling shampoos and conditioners, the innovation delivers double the lipid and protein protection for softer, stronger hair in just one wash.
Hair is naturally fortified by lipids that guard internal proteins—but frequent washing and harsh surfactants can compromise this barrier. Lipi Pro Shield helps protect and replenish these essential lipids during the cleansing process, addressing both damage prevention and visible repair.
“Hair cannot regenerate like skin,” said Frank Sun, OGX R&D. “This upgrade actively shields and conditions each strand for better resilience and immediate softness.”
Backed by stylists like Michael Douglas, the upgraded OGX formulas support bold colour changes and styling—without sacrificing hair health.
