Skincare News & New Releases

Purito Seoul's Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream Mist is a 100 ml face mist with a triple panthenol complex and bamboo extract. It costs $19.00 (US) and is listed on purito.com and Amazon US, following its announcement in September 2026. According to Purito Seoul, the lightweight, dewy mist delivers instant barrier hydration and helps calm visible redness, and it can be used before or over makeup.

When Did the Purito Seoul Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream Mist Launch?

Purito Seoul hasn't announced an official release date. The brand announced the mist in September 2026. As of 7 October 2026, it is listed on Purito Seoul's own site and on Amazon US. It is the second Purito Seoul launch we've covered this autumn, after the Purito Seoul Retinol Retinal 2000 Caffeine Eye Cream, the brand's 40 mL nighttime eye treatment. For another Korean face mist from the same season, see the innisfree Green Tea Matcha Mist, a 90 mL limited edition listed on innisfree Singapore. More launches are in our BeautyTalkClub skincare releases.

What Makes the Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream Mist Different?

• It is a spray version of Purito Seoul's existing Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream, described by the brand as a cream-in-mist.
• It uses three forms of panthenol totalling 10,000 ppm (1%). One of them is panthenol encapsulated in plant exosomes derived from red beet.
• Purito says to shake the bottle before each use so the panthenol capsules disperse evenly through the formula.

Formula: Triple Panthenol and Bamboo Extract

The headline is 3X Panthenol, which combines three forms:

• Panthenol, the soothing, moisture-binding form of vitamin B5
• Liposome panthenol, made with liposome technology
• Exosome panthenol, encapsulated in red beet-derived plant exosomes

According to the brand, the complex moisturizes and supports a barrier weakened by dryness.

The formula also contains Bambusa Vulgaris (bamboo) extract from Damyang, Korea, at 150 ppm. Purito says the extract is rich in amino acids and minerals that mirror the skin's own moisture.

Other listed ingredients include niacinamide, ceramide NP, sodium hyaluronate, squalane, shea butter, olive oil, adenosine and a long list of peptides. The Amazon listing counts 14 peptides.

On its Amazon listing, Purito describes the mist with several further claims:

• Dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic
• Hypoallergenic (HRIPT-tested), with a 0.00 irritation score
• Vegan and cruelty-free
• Suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone

What the Brand Says: Test Results

Purito commissioned a test with the Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences on 31 adults, run from June to July 2026. According to the brand, the results were:

• +148% skin hydration after one use, which the Amazon listing describes as 3.06× the hydration of a control mist
• +47.10% hydration of a damaged skin barrier after one use
• 28.61% reduction in trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) after one use
• 8.19% reduction in UV-induced visible redness after two weeks

These are brand-sponsored results rather than independent research, and individual results will vary.

How to Use

Purito says to shake the bottle, close your eyes and spray evenly over the face from 10–20 cm away. The brand suggests using it in four ways: as a first hydration step after cleansing, lightly over makeup, after sun exposure, or whenever skin feels tight during the day. For very dry skin, it recommends layering two to three light coats, and over makeup it advises a light mist rather than a large amount at once.

Packaging and Safety Notes

Purito's product page says the brand uses eco-friendly recycled plastic and marks the bottle as PP 5. The brand advises against contact with the eyes and against use on broken, wounded or irritated skin. It also says to stop using the mist if irritation occurs and to consult a doctor if irritation persists.

The SUQQU AQUFONS Intense Hydrating Lotion and Emollient Finishing Fluid are a renewed lotion and emulsion in SUQQU's AQUFONS skincare line. Both went on sale in Japan on 2 October 2026, priced at ¥8,800 for the 180mL lotion and ¥16,500 for the 100mL fluid, tax included. They are sold separately, not as a boxed set.

Release Date

The renewed SUQQU AQUFONS Intense Hydrating Lotion and Emollient Finishing Fluid went on sale in Japan on 2 October 2026. SUQQU has not announced release dates for other markets. They are among the latest launches in our skincare release news.

Price

• Japan: Intense Hydrating Lotion 180mL, ¥8,800; Emollient Finishing Fluid 100mL, ¥16,500 (tax included)
• US / UK / Europe: Not yet announced

The Products

According to SUQQU, AQUFONS is built on the idea that dryness leads to dullness while moisture delivers luster. The brand says the name joins AQUA (water) and FONS (a spring).

SUQQU AQUFONS Intense Hydrating Lotion (180mL, ¥8,800)

According to SUQQU, this lotion uses Even Hydration Delivery Technology to spread moisture quickly and evenly through the stratum corneum from the moment it touches the skin. The brand describes a silky, non-sticky feel that leaves skin soft, moist and almost "fluffy," as though it has soaked up plenty of water. SUQQU also says it spreads evenly over skin with uneven texture or visible pores, which the brand links to the patchy look of dry skin.

SUQQU AQUFONS Emollient Finishing Fluid (100mL, ¥16,500)

The fluid is a watery, smooth emulsion that, according to SUQQU, seals in moisture as well as a cream does. It uses the brand's proprietary Lamellar Capsule Veil technology, which is built on capsule-shaped lamellar particles. SUQQU says these particles reflect and scatter light to give skin a refined glow and a plump, bouncy, dimensional look. The brand also says the fluid finishes non-sticky and smooth, so base makeup goes on easily afterwards.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Japan: On sale from 2 October 2026; specific retailers not yet listed. See the SUQQU official website.
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

What Makes the SUQQU AQUFONS Lotion and Fluid Different?

• According to SUQQU, the two products split the work. The lotion delivers moisture evenly into the stratum corneum, and the fluid seals it in with what the brand calls a cream-level seal.
• The Emollient Finishing Fluid uses SUQQU's Lamellar Capsule Veil technology, whose capsule-shaped particles the brand says reflect light for glow and a makeup-ready finish.
• Both are renewed products in the AQUFONS line, which also includes the AQUFONS Smooth Renew Serum.

Other face-care launches this autumn include the Mary Kay K-Beauty Texture Edit, three Korea-made skin care products released on 5 October 2026. For another new hydrating liquid step, see the FRUDIA Retinal B3 EXO RED Bubble Pack Booster, a 140 ml dual-layer bubble toner.

Scent and Packaging

Both products share an aquatic floral woody fragrance that SUQQU says is reminiscent of fresh natural springs:

• Top: fresh kabosu citrus
• Middle: lily of the valley and rose
• Base: sandalwood and cedar

Both come in frosted pale-blue bottles.

How to Use

SUQQU's routine follows its "serum-first" methodology: a serum goes onto just-cleansed skin first. The Intense Hydrating Lotion follows, then the Emollient Finishing Fluid, which the brand says seals in moisture.

Purito Seoul has released the Retinol Retinal 2000 Caffeine Eye Cream, a 40 mL nighttime eye treatment combining Retinol 0.1%, Retinal 0.1% and Caffeine 10,000 ppm. The product is currently listed on Purito Seoul's official site and at YesStyle, with no standalone price published by the brand as of 30 September 2026.

Key Details

• Caffeine 10,000 ppm — listed by the brand at 1% in the INCI.
• 150 nm micro-formula — the brand states the finished formula has an average particle size of approximately 150 nm.
• Vegan and cruelty-free — confirmed by Purito Seoul and YesStyle.
• Multi-zone use — the brand recommends application to the under-eye area, smile lines and neck.

What the Brand Says

According to Purito Seoul, the formula provides targeted multi-care for puffiness, fine lines, wrinkles and uneven texture, and leaves the eye area looking smoother, firmer and more refreshed. The brand recommends applying a pea-sized amount after moisturizer in the evening only, starting 2–3 times a week and increasing frequency as the skin adapts, with SPF used the following morning.

Purito Seoul says the caffeine content helps care for puffy, tired-looking under-eyes, while the dual-retinoid blend targets fine lines, wrinkles and uneven texture around the delicate eye area. The Amazon listing cites a clinical result in which under-eye puffiness appeared reduced by 12.43% after one use.

Ultra Violette Unblock Screen SPF 50 is a tinted, soft-matte zinc–bemotrizinol hybrid sunscreen for oily, acne-prone and reactive skin. The 50ml cream costs £38 in the UK and A$50 in Australia. It appeared on the brand's Australian and UK online stores on 29 September 2026 and is also sold on Ultra Violette's US site.

When Did the Ultra Violette Unblock Screen SPF 50 Launch?

Ultra Violette hasn't announced an official release date. Unblock Screen appeared on the brand's Australian and UK online stores on 29 September 2026. It is also listed on Ultra Violette's US site, but our sources don't confirm when that listing went live.

Price

• UK: £38
• Australia: A$50
• US: Not yet announced in our sources

Where to Buy

• US: Ultra Violette US (free shipping on orders over $35)
• UK: Ultra Violette UK (£38; free UK shipping over £40)
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Australia: Ultra Violette Australia (A$50; free shipping over $55 in Australia)
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

What Makes the Unblock Screen SPF 50 Different?

• It is a zinc–bemotrizinol hybrid: 10% zinc oxide, 6% octocrylene and 3% bemotrizinol.
• According to Marie Claire, it is the first sunscreen with bemotrizinol (BEMT) available to buy in the US. The US Food and Drug Administration approved BEMT in June 2026, the first new US sunscreen filter in 27 years.
• It is a tinted, soft-matte cream sold in an airless jar.

Filters and Formula

Ultra Violette describes bemotrizinol as a next-generation filter that gives gentle, efficient broad-spectrum protection and leaves more space in the formula for skincare actives. Its US site adds that this means "no stinging eyes." The UK and Australian ingredient lists give the zinc oxide as nano.

Two plant-derived extracts handle the skincare side:

• Bix'Activ®: according to the brand, it helps control excess oil and blurs the look of pores.
• Pentavitin: the brand says it keeps skin hydrated for up to 72 hours.

A subtle tint made with iron oxides is designed to reduce zinc's white cast; Ultra Violette says it gives a seamless finish on most skin tones. The brand describes the texture as lightweight and non-greasy, drying to a velvety cream-to-powder matte.

According to Ultra Violette, the formula is:

• non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic, and passes leading acne-safe ingredient checkers
• fragrance-free
• dermatologically and clinically tested
• suitable for sensitive skin

The label notes that it contains phenoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol and sodium metabisulfite.

Ultra Violette co-founder Bec Jefferd told Marie Claire the brand has been developing BEMT products for its global range for close to 10 years. A second BEMT SPF, Fave Screen, is planned for January, and Marie Claire reports it will have a glowy finish.

What the Brand Says About Testing

Ultra Violette ran a dermatologist-supervised clinical evaluation with 21 people, including people with oily, sensitive and acne-prone skin. The brand reports these results after 28 days of daily use:

• 95% saw a reduction in the number of non-inflammatory blemishes.
• 86% agreed it blurs skin and visibly evens the look of skin tone and texture.
• 90% said their skin did not look oilier or shinier after use.

The brand also says the formula reduced non-inflammatory blemishes by up to 60% and blackheads by up to 65%, based on average reductions in the study group.

Unblock Screen is made and tested in Australia (AUST L 528472). Ultra Violette says:

• every new formula goes through at least two, and in many cases three to five, rounds of independent SPF and UVA testing at different laboratories before launch
• testing uses products taken straight off the shelf
• it retests its range every 18 months, and every result has come back at or above the labelled SPF
• many of its labs use BIPEA accreditation, and it works with SunCert for extra independent review

How It Compares with Ultra Violette's Other SPFs

• Future Screen: a mineral SPF fluid for combination, sensitive and oily skin, with a natural, skin-perfected finish
• Velvet Screen: a mineral cream the brand positions for sensitive or reactive skin, with a blurred finish
• Unblock Screen: made for oily, breakout-prone skin, with a soft-matte finish

It is one of several skincare launches from the same week. That week also brought Caroline Hirons The Collagen Support Kit on 30 September 2026. September also saw Purito Seoul Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream Mist, another lightweight daily product. More new launches are in our skincare releases.

How to Use Unblock Screen

Ultra Violette says to apply it as the last step of your skincare routine, after moisturiser and before makeup, using at least five pumps to cover the face and ears. The brand recommends wearing it every day, including indoors. It also advises reapplying often and adding a hat, sunglasses and protective clothing in the sun.

Marin Skincare, the Portland, Maine brand, launched the Cider Donut Lip Treatment on 29 September 2026 as a limited-edition addition to its lip line, priced at $19.99. The brand says the product has been in development for two years. It uses Marin's Marine Glycoprotein formula with a scent the brand bases on an autumn orchard in New England.

What's New: Fall in a Tube

The scent is the new element. Marin describes Cider Donut as a sweet, nostalgic blend of freshly fried cider donuts, warm baked apples, cinnamon and sugar, and calls it "the magic of fall captured in a tube." It joins Marin's regular lineup:

• Unscented
• Mint
• Strawberry Rhubarb
• Blueberry French Toast
• Campfire S'mores
• Gingerbread
• A Tinted Lip Treatment in Cranberry

The Formula: Marine Glycoproteins

Cider Donut uses the same formula as the rest of the line. According to Marin, its founders are bioengineers who worked with lobster scientists to find a regenerative glycoprotein that lobsters use to regrow limbs. The brand says the protein also helps repair the skin barrier. Marin states that the ingredient is upcycled from lobster processing, using a byproduct that would otherwise be thrown away.

According to the brand, the lip treatment:

• Deeply hydrates and helps repair dry, weathered lips
• Soothes and protects lips when temperatures drop
• Soaks in while staying on for hours
• Uses a minimalist formula for sensitive skin, including lips prone to eczema or dermatitis

Because the glycoprotein comes from shellfish, Marin advises a patch test before use. This is especially important for anyone with a shellfish allergy.

How to Use

The brand gives these directions:

• Apply as needed during the day, whenever lips need hydration.
• Use it overnight as a lip mask.

Price and Bundles

A single tube costs $19.99. Cider Donut is also sold in bundles:

• Lip Duo ($37.99): Cider Donut with either Blueberry French Toast or Strawberry Rhubarb
• Lip Triple ($56.97): the Cider Donut Triple or the Fall Trio

The first 400 orders over $79 get a free limited-edition "Ocean and Orchard" bandana, while supplies last.

Where to Buy

• US: Marin Skincare ($19.99, choose the Cider Donut flavor)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed

BOTARI, a new hand care brand, has launched in the UK with its Hand Cream Discovery Set, priced at £28.00. Full-size creams follow on 25 October 2026. The set contains three 20ml minis, and each formula targets a different skin need. According to BOTARI, the creams are inspired by Korean skincare and combine botanical ingredients with biotech actives and distinctive fragrances.

Meet the Founder

BOTARI was founded by Korean-born British designer Molly Park. She was previously Chief Creative & Product Officer at Papier and Head of Design, Home & Gift at Oliver Bonas. The brand's collection covers both skincare and accessories. The 20ml minis are compatible with BOTARI's Hand Cream Charm (RRP £12).

The Products: Three Formulas, Three Skin Needs

All three creams share a lightweight gel-cream texture, which BOTARI says absorbs quickly with a non-greasy finish. The brand describes the range as "three formulas, not three fragrances": each cream is built around a different skin need.

• Noni Renew (Rose Ember): This is the smoothing option. It pairs a Noni Cell Culture Complex with Samphira Bioactive, a plant-derived retinol alternative. According to BOTARI, it helps smooth the look of rough, dull skin. Panthenol, rice bran oil, camellia japonica oil and vitamin E are included for softness and hydration. The scent combines incense, sandalwood, smoked woods and a subtle rose.
• Cica Protect (Yuja Citrus): This formula is aimed at dry hands that get washed often. The brand says centella and panthenol help support the moisture barrier. It also contains HelioPure Skin, a microalgae antioxidant complex that BOTARI says helps defend against environmental stress. Glucosylrutin, jojoba oil, camellia japonica oil and vitamin E complete the formula. The scent is bright yuja with green, herbal notes and white musk.
• Charcoal Reset (Verdant Forest): This is the "reset" formula. According to BOTARI, activated bamboo charcoal helps draw out daily build-up without stripping the skin. The brand also says the prebiotic alpha-glucan oligosaccharide supports a balanced skin microbiome. Shea butter, rice bran oil, panthenol and vitamin E are included to help lock in moisture. The scent is woody, green and mineral.

How to Use Them

BOTARI recommends massaging a pea-sized amount into clean, dry hands and cuticles. It suggests choosing a formula based on how your hands feel that day:

• Cica Protect for dry hands that get washed often.
• Charcoal Reset for clearing impurities and daily build-up.
• Noni Renew for rough, dull-looking hands.

The brand says the 20ml tubes are sized for a bag, desk drawer or travel case. It advises stopping use if irritation occurs.

Release Date and Prices

The Discovery Set is available now in the UK for £28.00. According to BOTARI, it lets shoppers try every formula before choosing a full-size tube. The full-size collection follows on 25 October 2026, with each 70ml cream priced at £26.00.

What the Brand Says

According to BOTARI's launch announcement, hand care is an often-overlooked area of the beauty industry, typically served by basic formulas. The brand says its range was developed for specific skin needs, including barrier support, hydration, renewal and protection. It says the formulas use purposeful ingredients with attention to both texture and fragrance.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed
• UK: BOTARI Discovery Set (£28.00); full sizes from 25 October 2026: Noni Renew (£26.00), Cica Protect (£26.00), Charcoal Reset (£26.00)

UK beauty and wellness brand Gem & Tonic, founded by Gemma Atkinson, has launched Reset & Recover Night Cream, a £34.00 evening moisturiser, with the launch reported on 28 September 2026. According to the brand, it developed the cream after its "Glow Getter" community asked for an overnight moisturiser to complete its routine. The formula combines peptides, an adaptogen and a gemstone extract, which the brand says help skin look smoother and brighter by morning.

What's New: A Night Cream Built for Busy Lives

Gemma Atkinson designed Gem & Tonic around straightforward routines for people with packed schedules. Reset & Recover brings that approach to the evening as a single night-time step.

The main ingredient is Dawnergy™, a peptide blend that, according to the brand, supports the skin's natural energy processes to reduce visible signs of fatigue and improve morning radiance. The other key ingredients and the brand's claims for them:

• Ashwagandha: an adaptogen the brand says helps manage the effects of everyday environmental stressors.
• Hematite extract: an iron-rich gemstone extract that, according to Gem & Tonic, helps improve skin firmness and elasticity over time.
• Olive-derived emollient: a natural softener the brand says deeply hydrates and provides lasting comfort.

The Hydration Heroes

The ingredient list also includes several widely used moisturising ingredients: glycerin, shea butter, panthenol, sodium hyaluronate, vitamin E (tocopherol) and squalane. The brand says these help skin hold on to moisture overnight.

Gem & Tonic describes the texture as silky and lightweight. It says the cream sinks into skin without feeling heavy or sticky.

Clean Credentials

Reset & Recover is vegan and cruelty-free. According to the brand, the gemstone extracts used across the Gem & Tonic range are sustainably sourced and COSMOS-certified by ECOCERT.

How to Use It

1. Cleanse first. Apply the night cream to freshly cleansed skin every evening.
2. Massage in gently. Gently massage it into the face and neck.
3. Skip the eye area. Keep the cream away from the delicate skin around the eyes.
4. Be consistent. The brand recommends daily use and says consistent use delivers the full benefits.

Pairing: Gem & Tonic recommends cleansing with its Nourishing Cream Cleanser before applying the night cream. The product page also features the Boost & Protect Energising Body Lotion and the Revive & Refresh Hair and Scalp Mist alongside it.

What the Brand Says

Gemma Atkinson describes the night cream as "so rich yet so light" and says it "melts instantly into skin." In its launch post, the brand calls it a "fuss-free overnight facial" that it says soothes signs of daily stress and tiredness, supports skin barrier recovery, smooths fine lines and promotes collagen production while you sleep.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed
• UK: Gem & Tonic (£34.00)
