Skincare News & New Releases

Eminence Organic Skin Care's Superfood Icons Limited Edition Set is a holiday 2026 set of two full-size products: an enzyme cleansing powder and a pineapple toner. It costs $68.00 in the US and CA$82.00 in Canada, and it is on sale on eminenceorganics.com. The set pairs the Barbados Cherry Enzyme Cleansing Powder with the Pineapple Refining Tonique.

When Did the Eminence Superfood Icons Limited Edition Set Launch?

Eminence hasn't announced an official release date. The set is a holiday 2026 limited edition. As of 7 October 2026 it was listed on the brand's US and Canadian websites under item number 919SFI.

Price

• US: $68.00
• Canada: CA$82.00
• UK and Europe: Not yet announced

The set costs $68.00 in the US. Buying the two products one by one would cost $124: $68.00 for the cleansing powder plus $56.00 for the tonique. That makes the set $56 less, which is the tonique's single price.

What's Inside

• 2 full-size products, which the box describes as "two full-size products for the price of one"
• 1 cleansing powder: Barbados Cherry Enzyme Cleansing Powder, 80 g / 2.8 oz
• 1 toner: Pineapple Refining Tonique, 120 ml / 4 fl oz

Products

Barbados Cherry Enzyme Cleansing Powder

This 2-in-1 powder-to-foam wash uses the enzymes actinidin (from kiwi) and papain (from papaya). According to Eminence, these gently resurface the skin. The brand says vitamin C-rich Barbados cherry and Kakadu plum help brighten the look of dark spots and uneven tone. It adds that a finely milled absorbent ingredient targets dirt and excess oil to minimise the look of pores. The powder won Best Cleansing Powder at the 2025 NewBeauty Awards.

Pineapple Refining Tonique

This mild exfoliating toner combines PHA, bromelain and tranexamic acid. Eminence says the formula visibly renews dull, textured skin, brightens and hydrates. The brand also says it brings skin to its optimal pH so serums and moisturisers absorb better. The tonique won Gold in the Vegan and Eco Awards Dry Skin category at the 2024 Organic Beauty Awards.

Where to Buy

• US: Eminence Organic Skin Care ($68.00)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Canada: Eminence Organic Skin Care Canada (CA$82.00)

It is one of several limited-edition skincare gift sets for holiday 2026. Others include the U Beauty Holiday 2026 Gift Sets and the five GlyMed+ Bakery Holiday 2026 Skincare Sets. More launches are on our skincare releases page.

What Makes the Eminence Superfood Icons Limited Edition Set Different?

• Both products are full size. The set costs $68.00 in the US, while the two products bought separately would cost $124.
• Eminence lists Barbados cherry, actinidin, papain, Kakadu plum, bromelain and PHA as the set's key ingredients.
• The set's product page lists four awards: Organic Beauty Awards 2024, Spa & Wellness MexiCaribe Product Awards 2025 (Best Powder Cleanser), NewBeauty Awards 2025 and ISPA Innovate Awards 2024 (New Product Launches: Facial Skin Care).

Formula and Packaging

Both formulas are vegan, nut free and gluten free. According to Eminence, they suit all skin types and can be used as a complete ritual or individually. The set comes in a deep navy box printed with orange pineapple and red cherry illustrations.

How to Use

Eminence's directions for the powder: mix 1–2 shakes with water at a ratio of 2 parts water to 1 part powder, then massage the lather over the face and neck and rinse. Use it 2–3 times per week, or as often as desired, and not on broken or abraded skin. After cleansing, apply an even layer of the tonique with the palms or a cotton round and leave it on. Start every other day and increase to daily use if no irritation occurs.

NUDA Holiday Sets 2026 are three limited-edition self-tan gift sets: Soft Glow, On Cloud Glow and Radiance All Over. They went on sale on 1 October 2026 on NUDA's Canadian and US sites, priced from C$49 (Canada) and US$37 (US), in limited quantities. Each set bundles the Toronto-based brand's face or body tanners with a tool, a bronzer or a shimmer oil.

Release Date

The NUDA Holiday Sets 2026 were released on 1 October 2026 on nuda.com, through the brand's Canadian and US storefronts. They are limited edition and sold in limited quantities.

Each set costs the price shown. Buying the same items one by one would cost the value in the last column.

NUDA's product pages don't list the size of each item.

The Three Sets

Soft Glow Set

The Soft Glow Set is the collection's gradual-tan option, pairing CloudMist for the face with SilkMilk for the body. Both are no-rinse, transfer-free formulas that build colour over time. NUDA says they are enriched with niacinamide, ceramides, panthenol, bakuchiol and hyaluronic acid. According to the brand, colour develops in about 6–8 hours.

On Cloud Glow Set

The On Cloud Glow Set combines the no-rinse CloudMist face tan water with CloudFoam Express, a rinse-off express body mousse. With CloudFoam Express, the wearer picks the depth by how long the mousse stays on before rinsing:

• 1–2 hours for a light glow
• 3–4 hours for medium
• 5–6 hours for dark

According to NUDA, colour keeps developing for 12 hours after rinsing.

Radiance All Over Set

The Radiance All Over Set is a three-step routine, and NUDA says each product can be worn alone or layered:

• SilkMilk builds a gradual tan.
• GlowMelt adds a wash-off, neutral-brown bronze that NUDA says washes away with soap and water.
• GlowGlacé, in a warm vanilla scent, finishes with light-catching shimmer on the shoulders, collarbones, arms and legs, without creating a tan.

For another limited-edition body-care set released this autumn, see the Summer Fridays Body Layering Set.

Where to Buy

• US: NUDA US: Soft Glow Set (US$37), On Cloud Glow Set (US$47), Radiance All Over Set (US$79)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Canada: NUDA Canada: Soft Glow Set (C$49), On Cloud Glow Set (C$59), Radiance All Over Set (C$99). Beautestar also lists the Radiance All-Over Holiday Set, at C$127.
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

What Makes the NUDA Holiday Sets 2026 Different?

• The three sets cover three tanning formats: gradual no-rinse tanning, express rinse-off tanning with a chosen 1–6 hour development time, and a tan-plus-bronzer-plus-shimmer routine.
• The Radiance All Over Set includes a set-exclusive mini GlowGlacé Shimmer Body Oil with a warm vanilla scent.
• Based on NUDA's stated values, each set costs less than its items bought separately: C$15 / US$13 less (Soft Glow), C$21 / US$15 less (On Cloud Glow) and C$28 / US$23 less (Radiance All Over).

Formula and Packaging

According to NUDA, every formula draws on its PowerGlow+ Tan Boost Complex of niacinamide, ceramides, panthenol, bakuchiol and orchid stem cells. The brand says the complex supports hydration and the skin barrier for a smoother, longer-lasting glow.

NUDA says the SilkMilk, CloudMist and CloudFoam tanners contain no bronzing dyes, leave no sticky residue and don't transfer onto clothes or sheets. The brand also says they suit sensitive and acne-prone skin. Beautestar's listing describes SilkMilk as containing vegan collagen. The products are certified by The Vegan Society and Leaping Bunny.

The sets come in burgundy boxes with a gold starburst, with packaging text in English and French. Shoppers comparing holiday skincare gifts can also look at the GlyMed+ Bakery Holiday 2026 Skincare Sets, or browse all skincare releases.

How to Use

NUDA's directions are to exfoliate and shave at least 24 hours before tanning, then apply to clean, dry, bare skin. Hold CloudMist about 5" from the face and mist in fast, sweeping motions, blend body formulas in long, circular strokes, and let each layer dry fully before dressing. Avoid water for at least 6 hours while colour develops, and reapply SilkMilk 1–2 times a week to build or maintain colour.

Paula's Choice is getting into the gifting spirit with "Confidence, wrapped", a lineup of six limited-edition Holiday 2026 skincare kits that bundle cult favourites at a lower price. There's a set for every budget, from lip-plumping minis to a powerhouse vitamin C and retinoid duo, and each one is easy to give away or keep for yourself.

Each kit costs its listed price, while buying the same items one by one would cost the "value if bought separately" figure. That works out to savings of 19% to 28%.

What's New and Worth Gifting

The Morning-to-Night Serums Set offers the biggest saving (28%). It pairs the 25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum for brightening by day with the PRO Retinaldehyde Dual-Retinoid Treatment, which combines 0.1% retinaldehyde with 0.16% Adapinoid, for overnight renewal.

Peptide fans should look at the Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Face & Lip Kit. It includes three full sizes, but note that it ships within the U.S. only.

The Peptide Lip Gloss Balm Trio is the sweetest stocking stuffer. It contains three shades:

• Sheer Pink, a clear gloss
• Deep Plum, a sheer burgundy
• Toasted Vanilla, a warm neutral

All three carry a subtle natural vanilla scent.

Tips for Using Your Kit

• Vitamin C in the morning, retinoid at night. Always finish your daytime routine with SPF.
• Introduce actives slowly. If you're new to retinoids or BHA, alternate nights rather than layering both at once.
• Put the BHA pads to use. They're handy for quick touch-ups on the go.
• Treat your body too. The 2% BHA body treatment helps smooth rough patches on arms and legs.

Release Date by Region

The kits are available now in North America. They arrive in EU countries on 15 October 2026 and in Australia and New Zealand on 1 November 2026. Since these are limited-edition sets, it's wise to shop early.

The Dermstore BeautyFIX October 2026 box has arrived, and it's built for the moment your skin needs a fresh start. Dermstore has named it "Skin Reset Season", and the edit lives up to the title. It pairs retinal treatments with barrier-loving balms and creams, plus a nourishing hair-care treat. Six products, a subscription price from $24.95, and a value Dermstore puts at $178+ make this one of the strongest skincare boxes of the autumn.

The box costs from $24.95 a month. Dermstore says buying the products one by one would cost $178+.

The Products at a Glance

• Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 3 is an eye cream that combines retinal with ceramides. It's the headline product and the highest-value item in the box.
• First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Rescue Barrier Balm is a barrier balm for skin that feels stressed, dry or over-exfoliated.
• Glo Skin Beauty Bio-Renew EGF Rich Repair Cream is a rich EGF repair cream for skin that wants extra cushioning.
• Murad Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Treatment is a retinal treatment designed for night-time use.
• Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream is a hyaluronic cloud cream moisturizer, a good fit for a lighter daytime layer.
• Christophe Robin Regenerating Shampoo with Prickly Pear Oil is a regenerating shampoo that brings the "reset" theme to your hair.

How to Build a Skin Reset Routine

The box has two retinal products, so introduce them gradually.

• Start slowly. Use the Murad overnight treatment two or three evenings a week at first, then build up as your skin adjusts.
• Buffer with barrier care. Follow retinal nights with the Glo Skin Beauty repair cream. On your off nights, use the First Aid Beauty balm.
• Treat the eye area separately. Pat the Medik8 eye cream gently around the orbital bone, using your ring finger.
• Keep mornings light. Reach for the Water Drench cloud cream, and always finish with SPF when using retinal products.

Is the October 2026 BeautyFIX Worth It?

You pay from $24.95 for a box Dermstore values at $178+. You also get a mix of trusted names: Medik8, Murad, First Aid Beauty, Glo Skin Beauty, Peter Thomas Roth and Christophe Robin.

That makes Skin Reset Season a smart buy if you've been curious about retinal but don't want to commit to full sizes. It's also a strong choice if your skin barrier needs some seasonal TLC. Want to keep saving? Dermstore offers 3-, 6- and 12-month sign-ups at a further discount.

The countdown to the holidays just got a lot dewier. The Glow Recipe 12 Days of Glow Advent Calendar Korean Skincare Gift Set is now available at Sephora. It's a limited-edition holiday 2026 release that hides 14 products behind 12 doors, covering skincare, makeup and lip care. If you love fruit-powered K-beauty formulas, or need a gift for someone who does, this is one of the season's most generous skincare calendars.

What's Inside the Advent Calendar

The set costs $110. According to Sephora, buying the same products one by one would cost $202. Here's the full lineup of products:

• Avocado Ceramide Moisture Barrier Cleanser (150 mL)
• LHA + AHA Exfoliating Toner Pads, PDRN + Repair and Soothe Toner Pads and Vitamin C Brightening Toner Pads (6 mL each)
• Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner (40 mL)
• Prickly Pear Peptide Mucin Serum (40 mL)
• Watermelon Pink Juice Moisturizer (15 mL)
• Watermelon Milk Peptide Cushion Cream Moisturizer (50 mL)
• Plum Plump Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer (50 mL)
• Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops and Sun Glow Niacinamide Hue Drops (15 mL each)
• Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush in Watermelon Flush (12 mL)
• Fig Glass Balm Lip Treatment in Fig Bingsoo, a sheer mauve nude (15 g)
• First Move Lip Blur Deluxe, a nude-pink PDRN Lip Blur Balm (2.5 g)

An 8-Step Glow Routine in a Box

Glow Recipe frames the calendar as a complete 8-step routine: cleanse, treat, tone, brighten, repair, moisturize, flush and lip. Here's how to get the most from it:

1. Cleanse with the ceramide-rich avocado cleanser to support your moisture barrier.
2. Treat with the toner pads. Use the LHA + AHA pads on texture-focused nights, the Vitamin C pads for brightness, and the PDRN pads when skin feels stressed.
3. Tone with the Watermelon Glow toner. Its PHA smooths texture while BHA helps decongest pores.
4. Brighten with the niacinamide Dew Drops, which target dullness and the look of pores.
5. Moisturize with the texture that suits your skin.

Tip: The calendar includes three moisturizers, so you can pick the one that matches your skin:

• Pink Juice is an oil-free water gel for oily skin.
• Plum Plump is a silky hydrating cream for combination-to-dry and sensitive skin. Glow Recipe says its hyaluronic acid holds up to 1000x its weight in moisture.
• Watermelon Milk Peptide Cushion Cream is a bouncy gel-cream for combination-to-normal skin.

To finish, add a wash of Dewy Flush and the Fig Glass Balm for an effortless glass-skin look.

Gift-Worthy Packaging

The calendar comes in a silver box with a round window showing an illustrated pink holiday street scene. It can also be gifted wrapped in sheer pink organza with a ribbon, so it's ready to go under the tree.

Don't confuse this with The Korean Glass Skincare Vault Kit ($150), a separate Glow Recipe holiday set sold on glowrecipe.com and at Sephora. The 12 Days of Glow calendar is a Sephora listing and isn't currently on Glow Recipe's own site.

Where to Buy

• US: Sephora ($110)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Sephora Canada (CA$154)

This is a limited edition, and advent calendars tend to sell out fast once holiday shopping picks up, so buy early if it's on your wish list.

If your skincare shelf is crowded but your routine still feels unfocused, LOOKFANTASTIC has a fix. The Dermatological Edit is a new Limited Edition beauty box of dermatologist-approved formulas, "hand-selected to simplify your routine, strengthen your skin, and focus on what delivers." It brings together seven products from Perricone MD, Eucerin, Kate Somerville, Augustinus Bader, Bioderma, AMELIORATE and Vichy, and it covers face and body from cleanser to SPF.

What's Inside: Products and Prices

The box costs £50 / €60. Buying the products one by one would cost over £195 / over €225, based on LOOKFANTASTIC's stated values:

• Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester Photo-Brightening Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 (59ml, full size), worth £64 / over €74. A brightening vitamin C day moisturiser with built-in SPF 30.
• Eucerin Sensitive Protect Sun Lotion Extra Light SPF 50+ (50ml, full size), worth £19 / over €22. An extra-light, high-protection sun lotion for sensitive skin.
• Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Cleanser Daily Foaming Wash (120ml, full size), worth £41 / over €47. A daily foaming face wash. LOOKFANTASTIC's listing calls it "EradiKate Daily Foaming Cleanser", but its own product photos show the ExfoliKate Cleanser tube.
• Augustinus Bader The Overnight Restorative Cream (7ml, deluxe), worth over £40 / over €47. An overnight face cream, here in a travel-friendly deluxe size. LOOKFANTASTIC's listing calls it "The Overnight Recovery Cream"; the tube in the photos reads "The Overnight Restorative Cream".
• Bioderma Atoderm Shower Oil (100ml, deluxe), worth £9 / over €10. A replenishing shower oil for dry, easily irritated skin.
• AMELIORATE Transforming Body Exfoliant (300ml, full size), worth £18 / over €20. A body exfoliant for smoother skin.
• Vichy Minéral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Booster Serum (10ml, deluxe), worth over £4 / over €4. A lightweight hyaluronic acid booster for hydration.

How to Build Your Routine

Morning: Cleanse with the ExfoliKate Cleanser, apply the Minéral 89 booster, then the Perricone MD SPF 30 moisturiser. For high-UV days or time outdoors, add the Eucerin SPF 50+.

Evening: Cleanse, apply Minéral 89, then finish with the Augustinus Bader Overnight Restorative Cream. A little goes a long way, which helps the 7ml deluxe size last.

Body: Use the AMELIORATE exfoliant in your body routine to smooth rough skin, and the Bioderma Atoderm shower oil to cleanse without stripping.

Tip: Follow each product's own directions, and wear daily SPF when exfoliating.

Is It Worth It?

Four of the seven products are full size, including the Perricone MD moisturiser, which alone is worth more than the box. That makes The Dermatological Edit good value for anyone who wants to try premium dermatologist-approved skincare. It also works well as a gift for a friend who likes to keep their routine simple.

• UK: LOOKFANTASTIC UK (£50)

UK skincare expert Caroline Hirons launched The Collagen Support Kit on carolinehirons.com on 30 September 2026, priced at £99. The kit has since sold out. It brings together six skincare products, from a cleansing balm to a rich cream, which Caroline Hirons positions for the colder months. It's a one-off kit rather than a subscription. Here are the release date, the products and the price.

What's in The Collagen Support Kit

The kit costs £99. Caroline Hirons says buying the items one by one would cost £412, which works out to a 75% saving. Only some individual UK prices can be confirmed: the Olverum balm is £55, the Medik8 serum is £79 and the Votary cream is £85. The other products aren't priced individually, and the Jordan Samuel soap is exclusive to Caroline Hirons.

Here are the products, with Caroline's own notes:

• Olverum Alpine Revive Cleansing Balm (100ml): Caroline says it "melts through makeup, SPF and the day" and leaves skin soft and nourished.
• Allies of Skin Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream (15ml): Contains peptides, ceramides and omegas. Caroline says it hydrates and smooths without feeling heavy.
• Medik8 Exo-PDRN Prismatic+ Face Serum (30ml): Medik8's newest serum uses vegan PDRN technology. According to Caroline, it supports skin renewal, calms visible redness and improves skin resilience.
• Elizabeth Arden Advanced Gold Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum: A reformulated version of the ceramide capsules. Caroline says it helps strengthen the skin barrier.
• Votary Ultimate Rich Cream (50ml): Caroline describes it as rich but never heavy and one of her favourites when the weather turns cold.
• Jordan Samuel Ferragosto Artisanal Soap: A soap that Caroline describes as beautifully fragranced, exclusive to Caroline Hirons.

Everything comes in The Collagen Support Kit Bag, a pink quilted bag measuring 33cm x 25cm x 12cm. The bag is also sold separately for £40.

What It Targets

According to the Caroline Hirons product page, the kit targets:

• Barrier support
• Dehydration
• Fine lines
• Redness
• Loss of firmness
• Overall skin resilience

The products centre on ceramides, peptides and rich textures.

How to Use It: Suggested Routine

Caroline suggests applying the products in this order:

1. Cleanse with the Olverum Alpine Revive Cleansing Balm.
2. Eye cream: Apply the Allies of Skin Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream.
3. Serum: Apply the Medik8 Exo-PDRN Prismatic+ serum.
4. Capsules: Follow with the Elizabeth Arden Advanced Gold Ceramide Capsules serum.
5. Moisturise with the Votary Ultimate Rich Cream to seal everything in.

Use the Jordan Samuel soap in the shower. In the morning, finish with SPF.

Caroline Hirons' website now states that The Collagen Support Kit has sold out. The site invites shoppers who missed it to sign up to hear first when the next kit drops. No restock has been announced.

Sofie Pavitt Face's Temp Check Hot + Cold Mask Duo is a two-step contrast mask set pairing a self-heating enzyme mask with a hydrating gel mask. It costs $90 (US) and launched at Sephora online on 6 October 2026, with Sephora stores following on 9 October 2026. The brand, founded by New York City esthetician Sofie Pavitt, known as the "Acne Whisperer," based the set on her in-studio Contrast Therapy Facial and calls it "a spa day for your face."

Release Date

The Temp Check Hot + Cold Mask Duo went on sale at Sephora US online on 6 October 2026. It reaches Sephora stores in the US on 9 October 2026. No UK or European release date has been announced.

Price

• US: $90 at Sephora
• UK: Not yet announced
• Other markets: US$90.00 via Big Apple Buddy, plus international shipping and a service fee

What's Inside

• 4 items in total: 2 masks and 2 tools
• Warm Up Enzyme Treatment Mask: 2 oz / 60 mL
• Cool Down Hydrating Exosome Mask: 2 oz / 60 mL
• Total mask volume: 2 × 60 mL = 120 mL (2 × 2 oz = 4 oz)
• Skincare spatula for application
• Tray to hold the kit

Products in the Set

Step 1: Warm Up Enzyme Treatment Mask

The first mask is self-heating. According to the brand, it exfoliates and visibly plumps. Pavitt says it warms on the skin and then tingles as the enzymes start working. Key ingredients:

• Papain (papaya enzyme) and bromelain: fruit enzymes that, according to Pavitt, gently dissolve dead skin cells
• Tranexamic acid: according to the brand, visibly corrects uneven skin tone
• Niacinamide: included for brightening, per the brand
• Squalane and panthenol: included to keep skin comfortable during exfoliation, per the brand

Step 2: Cool Down Hydrating Exosome Mask

The second mask has a cushiony gel texture, and the brand positions it as a hydrate-and-soothe step. Key ingredients:

• Centella complex: according to Pavitt, contains four active compounds that calm redness and irritation and support the skin barrier
• Polyglutamic acid: described by the brand as locking in hydration
• Ceramide NP, aloe and ectoin: included for a comfortable, supple feel, per the brand
• Caffeine: included as a refreshing finishing ingredient, per the brand

Where to Buy

• US: Sephora ($90), online from 6 October 2026 and in stores from 9 October 2026
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: Big Apple Buddy (US$90.00 plus shipping and service fee) ships the Sephora US product to over 75 countries. Availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 7 October 2026: listed as out of stock with a waitlist at Big Apple Buddy.

What Makes the Temp Check Hot + Cold Mask Duo Different?

• It adapts Pavitt's in-studio Contrast Therapy Facial into a two-step "warm up / cool down" routine for home use.
• It pairs a self-heating enzyme mask (papain, bromelain) with a gel mask that has "exosome" in its name.
• It comes as a kit: two 60 mL masks plus a skincare spatula and a tray.

Other masks we've covered this season take different approaches. The Dr.Jart+ Cryo-V Jawline Lifting Mask is a single-use cooling hydrogel mask. The Dr.Jart+ 10 Mask Mega Haul Holiday Gift Set is another mask set launched at Sephora US in October 2026. For more launches, see all skincare releases.

Formula and Skin Types

Sephora lists both masks as vegan, fragrance free, non-comedogenic and Clean at Sephora. Clean at Sephora is Sephora's label for formulas made without certain ingredients, including parabens, sulfates, phthalates and mineral oils. The set is listed for normal, dry, combination and oily skin, and for dullness, uneven texture and uneven skin tone. The brand says it targets dry, dull and textured skin and leaves skin looking smoother, brighter and plumper.

What the Brand Says

Pavitt told Byrdie: "Heat preps the skin, encourages microcirculation and feels super sensorial. Cryo/cold keeps it plump, lifted and bright. I wanted to bring that experience home in a way that was simple and effective." She added: "I love contrast facials before a big event or just as a mid-week boost. The warm-to-cool application exfoliates, calms, and refreshes the skin all in one go. It's a mini studio treatment at home."

Many of the brand's products are designed with acne-prone skin in mind, but Pavitt says Temp Check was formulated for all skin types.

How to Use

According to the brand, use the spatula to apply a generous layer of the Warm Up Mask to clean, dry skin. Leave it on for 10–15 minutes, rinse with cool water and pat dry, then immediately apply the Cool Down Mask for 10–15 minutes and rinse thoroughly, 1–2 times per week. Pavitt recommends using it as a weekly treatment in place of other actives: skip other exfoliants that evening, rinse the spatula between masks, and if you have active, inflamed acne, use only the Cool Down Mask until skin is calmer.

• No.9 NAD+ BIO Super Defense Glow Sunscreen (added August 2026)

According to numbuzin, No.9 combines NAD+ with skincare partners such as peptides, collagen, panthenol and retinol. The brand's official US store currently also lists the No.9 NAD+ Essentials Travel Kit, the No.9 NAD+ Glow Boosting Set and a No.9 NAD+ Retinal Volumetox Eye Cream DUO SET.

The teaser doesn't say whether Next-Gen Gold NAD+ will join the No.9 range or stand on its own. The brand's "culmination of our NAD+ research" framing suggests it builds on No.9.
