Water-based fragrances

Water-based perfumes (rather than alcohol-based ones) are gaining ground in the luxury sector. Following in the footsteps of Dior and Yves Saint Laurent, Guerlain and Estée Lauder are making them the stars of their spring collections. This booming trend offers a gentle, skin-friendly alternative. It also introduces a new application technique that blends seamlessly with the skin. Less “diffusive” yet with true olfactory intensity, these fragrances offer perfect longevity.

Sunscreen serums

A flagship product in the pharmacy (and beyond), this is the texture that's all the rage this spring. Sun serum combines high UV protection with skincare benefits, a bare-skin feel, and an invisible finish. Designed to be incorporated into your daily skincare routine, it has everything going for it, whether you're in the city or at the beach!

New foot care products

Pre-treatment lotions, soothing sock masks, creams with cutting-edge active ingredients used in skincare… foot care products are becoming increasingly sophisticated… and, for once, more accessible (they’re hitting the shelves at supermarkets)!

Cream-powder blushes

The blush craze continues with these versatile blushes featuring a hybrid texture (half-cream, half-powder) that can be applied to bare skin or over makeup. So easy to use, they don’t cake and often offer a blurring effect as an added bonus (this spring’s biggest makeup trend). They’re available at both specialty stores and mass-market retailers.

New anti-aging hand creams

Their formulas are becoming more sophisticated, incorporating anti-aging skin care ingredients (hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide, glabridin, antioxidants, etc.). Smoothing, plumping, anti-dark spot, firming… the new hand creams also stand out for their exceptional sensory qualities.
