Ahead, beauty A-listers open up their vanities to detail their must-haves of the year. From luxurious hair masks to glow-giving collagen drinks, these are the best beauty products (and trends), according to the insiders.
“It will definitely be my Hair Rewind Shampoos and Conditioner Masks. The combo that I’m using now is the Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo and the Colour Protect Conditioner Mask.
These products are multi-taskers, which is why I love them. Not only do they have the Phyto-Revive Complex that helps to strengthen hair and reduce shedding, the products also help to calm sensitive scalp, strengthen the scalp barrier, and provide deep hydration to restore natural moisture balance. They also contain antioxidants such as Glutathione and Coenzyme Q10 to protect your scalp and hair from free radical damage and oxidative stress.
Also, I really enjoy using the conditioner mask as it is a conditioner and mask. It contains encapsulated marine algae, which helps to form a light, protective coat on the hair shaft so it can repair from within.”
“For consistent everyday use to achieve soft, supple skin, I would recommend Sigi Skin Youth Beam Anti-Ageing Night Serum. This night serum helps to prevent acne breakouts, strengthen skin barrier and most importantly improves skin texture and gives your skin a nice glow. We only launched Youth Beam this year in April but it has quickly become one of our best sellers!”
“Outside of my biggest product recommendation (Supergoop! SPF, of course!), some of the things that keep my skin feeling and looking great before big events are my Vintner’s Daughter serum, Caudalie Detox Oil and lots of water.”
“I love all my products and I created all of them for a reason so it’s very difficult to choose a favourite but if I had to it would be my Super Anti-ageing Face Cream. It’s my ultimate one-stop-shop if I’m on-the-go and provides hydration, protection and anti-ageing properties based on advanced ingredient science and years of formulation development.”
“IDS C Plus. This is an ‘age-defense’ serum formulated with a potent form of Vitamin C, coupled with Vitamin E and fullerenes. Fullerenes are potent antioxidants that have been shown to improve acne, skin ageing among other benefits. This combination of antioxidants increase collagen production, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, lighten pigmentation and stabilise acne-prone skin.”
“Our newly launched Plus+ range Bio Reset Intensive Night Recovery Elixir has drastically reduced my smile lines and crows feet and left my skin with a radiant glow.”
“I love freshly squeezed carrot juice with some ginger and one apple.”
“I always recommend Skinbetter’s AlphaRet Overnight Cream to many of my patients. It’s well formulated and contains a retinoid combined with an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) – gold standard ingredients for anti-ageing and rejuvenation. Another product that I swear by is our in-house product, the Aeras 15% Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Gel. This saves my skin whenever I start feeling any textural bumps.”
“A moisturiser suitable for my skin and broad-spectrum topical sunscreen with at least SPF 30.”
“Our new ABH Brow Genius Serum that launched this year. It’s designed to create smoother, softer, tamer, fuller-looking brows. By combining six rejuvenating ingredients, including peptides, panthenol, biotin and castor oil, this powerhouse formula nourishes brows and increases manageability. It’s a quick and easy prep step that makes all the difference in the world.”
“The brown lip liner trend. It is flattering on brown skin and to see it come back this year, it’s the best thing ever. I’m also obsessed with the Innisfree retinol cica repair ampoule. It gives me the best glow the next day and makes my skin so healthy.”

“Shiseido Ultimune Future PowerShot. It is a limited edition (product) and is infused with 15 times more key ingredients (found in Ultimune). With its lightweight and fast-absorbing consistency and potent formula, it’s suitable for all skin types.”
“I love Skinergy Collagen shots from Nuceuticals. They are the only clinically proven skin collagen supplements available in the market and with UV protection and antioxidants in the daily dose. I feel that I have laid a good foundation for the day for my skin health.”
“It will definitely be the Glowfully Glow & Tint Lip Treatment. How we created the dewy cheek and glossy eyeshadow look. I think it could be a talking point when people get ready for CNY.”
“Skincare makeup hybrids such as lipsticks infused with hyaluronic acid. These products are helpful and time-saving.”
“Goldwell’s Just Smooth Diamond Gloss and Curly Twist Hydrating Serum Spray. I highly recommend them to everyone.”
