Luxury skincare is all about finding that perfect balance between efficacy and indulgence.

It’s about investing in products that not only deliver results but also provide a luxurious experience. And, who better to turn to for skincare recommendations than the beauty gurus in our own office? Our Editors and Contributors share their must-have beauty products they simply can’t live without.

Florence Leung, Editor-in-Chief - Osaji: Facial Toner (lotion)

As our Editor-in-Chief and a beauty guru, Florence is always on the lookout for skincare products that deliver real results, and she was excited to recommend Osaji Facial Toner (Lotion), a product she discovered while on her trip in Japan. This toner is a lightweight, hydrating lotion packed with natural ingredients to nourish and rejuvenate your skin. Osaji Facial Toner’s number one attribute is that it contains a variety of natural extracts, including aloe vera, chamomile and lavender, which all work together to soothe, hydrate and nourish the skin. This toner is highly recommended as its unique blend makes it a great choice for sensitive skin, and its ability to balance skin’s pH level and prepare the skin for further skincare steps makes it a versatile addition to any skincare routine.

One of the things that set Caudalie’s Beauty Elixir apart from other skincare products is its ability to deliver fast results.

Susanna is always on the hunt for skincare products that give her satisfying results. She was excited to introduce and recommend SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Gel. This product is a lightweight, hydrating gel packed with natural ingredients to soothe and calm irritated skin. This product is highly recommended to those looking for a soothing, hydrating gel that can help to reduce the appearance of redness and uneven skin tone. 

Leon Ling, Digital Editor - Drunk Elephant: Lala Retro Whipped Moisturizer with Ceramides

As the Digital Editor at Pendulum, Leon has always been susceptible to Instagram or TikTok famous beauty brands. One brand that lives up to the hype is Drunk Elephant. While the entire line of products is loved, it’s the Lala Retro Whipped Moisturizer that is the MVP of the bathroom shelf. Dispense via a clever push-down button system;this luxurious-feeling cream offers intense moisture without leaving the skin greasy. The cream can be combined with one of the brand’s serums for a real complexion boost.

Corinne Baleros, Digital Editor - Estēe Lauder: Advanced Night Repair 

As someone who is fairly inconsistent with her skincare routine, I have found one product that I cannot live without–Estēe Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex. This product is a lifesaver for me, as it not only helps to hydrate and rejuvenate my skin, but it also has a pleasant and uplifting scent. I use this product every morning and night, and I make sure to have it with me when I travel. Believe me, it works wonders on a long-haul flight. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile, hydrating and uplifting skincare product.
