February is when beauty launches quietly shift gears.
It’s less about big, flashy statements and more about products that actually fit into real life. Think skincare that calms and hydrates without overcomplicating your routine, and makeup that enhances rather than overwhelms.
From glow-boosting serums and easy lip staples to frizz-taming haircare and comforting scents, these are the buzziest beauty launches arriving in February. Whether you’re updating your everyday essentials for Chinese New Year or seeking something new to try, here’s what’s worth paying attention to this month.
Skincare
The Ordinary Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion
If you love moisturisers that hydrate without feeling heavy, this new launch from The Ordinary is one to note. The Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion has a milky, almost weightless texture that sinks in quickly, yet keeps skin comfortable and calm all day.
Formulated with rice lipids to help strengthen the skin barrier and ectoin to soothe stressed, sensitive skin, this moisturiser is designed for anyone dealing with redness, dehydration, or easily irritated skin. It promises visible skin barrier repair after just one use, while leaving skin smooth, dewy, and balanced without any greasy after-feel.
The Ordinary Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion retails for S$24 (60ml) and S$42 (120ml) on Sephora.sg.
Laneige Water Bank Aqua Facial
LANEIGE’s latest Water Bank launch is all about hydration and glow. This lightweight serum focuses on smoothing skin texture while deeply hydrating – the kind of product that gives you that coveted “glass skin” look over time.
The formula combines gentle exfoliating acids with multiple hydrating ingredients to help smooth rough patches, plump skin, and strengthen the moisture barrier. Skin looks fresher and more radiant almost immediately, and with consistent use, feels noticeably softer and bouncier.
LANEIGE Water Bank Aqua Facial retails for S$52 (30ml) at all LANEIGE boutiques islandwide and at Sephora stores starting 4 February.
SK-II SKINPOWER RE-NEW Range
SK-II is refreshing its SKINPOWER line with a renewed focus on firmness, bounce, and cheek support — an area the brand says plays a big role in how youthful skin looks overall.

CHANEL N°1 DE CHANEL Refining Youth Emulsion
This new addition to CHANEL’s N°1 line is designed for those who want smoother skin texture without sacrificing comfort. The Refining Youth Emulsion gently exfoliates skin daily while helping control shine and refine pores.
It combines mild AHAs to smooth uneven texture with red camellia extract, an antioxidant-rich ingredient known for supporting skin vitality. The ultra-light emulsion absorbs quickly and helps keep skin looking fresh and matte throughout the day.
With regular use, skin appears smoother, pores look less noticeable, and overall radiance improves, making it a solid option for combination to oily skin types.
CHANEL N°1 DE CHANEL Refining Youth Emulsion retails for S$214 (100ml) at CHANEL Fragrance and Beauty boutiques and on the CHANEL Official Fragrance & Beauty Online Store, and at CHANEL Fragrance and Beauty counters.
ést.lab VitaLift A+ Cellular Renewal Serum
This intensive night serum from ést.lab is designed to support skin renewal while you sleep. Think of it as a reset treatment for tired, uneven, or ageing skin.
The formula blends retinol with brightening and antioxidant ingredients, alongside a gentle resurfacing component that mimics the effect of micro-needling – without needles or downtime. It helps smooth texture, improve clarity, and support healthier-looking skin over time.
Best used at night, especially if you’re looking to tackle dullness, uneven tone, or early signs of ageing.
The ést.lab VitaLift A+ Cellular Renewal Serum retails for S$176 (30ml) and S$166 (refill) on Shopee and at all Estetica Beauty studios islandwide.

It offers high sun protection with no white cast, making it easy to wear daily – even under makeup. Lightweight, comfortable, and glow-boosting, this is one for anyone who hates the feel of traditional sunscreens.

SHISEIDO VITAL PERFECTION Uplifting and Firming Advanced Eye Cream
SHISEIDO’s newest eye cream focuses on the many concerns that show up around the eyes first, from dark circles and puffiness to fine lines and loss of firmness.
The formula supports skin renewal, smooths fine lines, and helps improve elasticity around the eye area. With consistent use, eyes look more refreshed, firmer, and well-rested – even if your sleep schedule says otherwise.
SHISEIDO VITAL PERFECTION Uplifting and Firming Advanced Eye Cream retails for S$138 (15ml) at all SHISEIDO boutiques and counters island-wide.

Designed for skin that’s irritated, overheated, or simply overwhelmed, this new launch from Kiehl’s focuses on fast comfort and barrier repair.

Tom Ford’s latest Private Blend fragrance centres on fig at its ripest – fresh, green, creamy, and subtly sweet.

This is a fig fragrance that feels elevated and indulgent, perfect if you enjoy green scents with a warm, addictive dry-down.

Rabanne FAME IN LOVE and PHANTOM IN RED
Rabanne turns up the intensity with two bold new fragrance releases that play on contrast, chemistry, and colour.
FAME IN LOVE is a playful, confident scent that puts a fresh spin on gourmand fragrances. It opens with a juicy strawberry note, brightened by green mandarin and basil, before settling into soft florals like jasmine and orris. As it dries down, warm vanilla and patchouli give the fragrance a smooth, addictive finish. It’s sweet, but not sugary.
PHANTOM IN RED takes a darker, more intense route. It starts with plum liqueur and saffron, giving the scent a rich, spicy edge, before moving into lavender – a signature note for the PHANTOM line. The base is warm and smoky, with hints of amber, tobacco, and woods that linger on the skin.
