The Epicutis Bodycare Simplified Set is a limited-edition body care trio with Body Scrub, The Lymphatic Brush by Cecily Braden and Lipid Body Treatment. It costs $375 (US) through Epicutis professional stockists and was first listed at J Bella Modern Skin on 1 October 2026.

Updated 13 October 2026: the set is now on sale at $375 through Epicutis stockists, with the Body Scrub, The Lymphatic Brush and Lipid Body Treatment confirmed. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Did the Epicutis Bodycare Simplified Set Launch?

Epicutis hasn't announced an official release date. The set first appeared at J Bella Modern Skin on 1 October 2026, according to store data. Amber Preston Aesthetics listed it on 5 October 2026. Epicutis teased the brush on Instagram on 6 October 2026. Skin Beautiful RX listed the set on 9 October 2026 under the name "Epicutis Holiday Body Box Set 2026".

Price

The set costs $375 (US) at all three stockists. Two of the items are also sold on their own:

• Lipid Body Treatment: $225 on epicutis.com
• The Lymphatic Brush Large: $78 from Cecily Braden

The Body Scrub has no standalone listing on epicutis.com. The set's total value if bought separately therefore can't be calculated.

What's Inside

The contents Epicutis stockists list:

• Body Scrub (marked "LIMITED" by Skin Beautiful RX)
• The Lymphatic Brush (by Cecily Braden, Epicutis edition)
• Lipid Body Treatment

That makes three items in total. The stockists don't give sizes for any of them.

The stockists describe the set as a limited-edition collaboration with massage and lymphatic educator Cecily Braden. They call it "an intentional three-step ritual designed to exfoliate, encourage lymphatic flow and replenish the skin."

The Lymphatic Brush: Key Details

The brush itself isn't new. Cecily Braden already sells it in two sizes under the Cecily Braden name:

• Large: for the face, neck, crown and full body, with shorter, firmer bristles. The Epicutis edition matches this size.
• Small: for the face, with longer, softer bristles.

What's new is the Epicutis-branded version. Epicutis says this version is "exclusively available with" the set. Epicutis calls the tool "the original, patented, and award-winning brush." The brand also says its textured bristles encourage tissue-fluid movement for "healthy, vibrant-looking skin."

Cecily Braden says it is "not a dry brush, a make-up, or a cleansing brush" but a draining device. According to Braden, its bristle pattern grips the skin to target the superficial lymph vessels. Used with Braden's own techniques, it mimics their passive contractions to stimulate lymph flow, according to Braden. The design is patent-protected in the US, EU, Australia, Canada and the UK.

Cecily Braden lists cautions, or changes to the routine, for several situations:

• Bronchitis: don't use the brush directly over the sternum.
• Menstruation: it may make periods heavier.
• Raised moles: work around them.
• Low blood pressure: keep sessions shorter.
• Hyperactive thyroid: avoid working directly on the thyroid.
• Other conditions: the same list also includes deep vein thrombosis, congestive heart failure and acute infection or inflammation.

Where to Buy

• US: Skin Beautiful RX ($375), J Bella Modern Skin ($375), Amber Preston Aesthetics ($375)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 13 October 2026: in stock at $375 at Skin Beautiful RX, J Bella Modern Skin and Amber Preston Aesthetics; not listed on epicutis.com.

What Makes the Epicutis Bodycare Simplified Set Different?

• According to Epicutis, the Epicutis-branded Lymphatic Brush is available only with this set.
• Stockists present the three products as a step-by-step ritual: exfoliate, encourage lymphatic flow, then replenish.
• The Body Scrub has no standalone listing on epicutis.com, and Skin Beautiful RX marks it "LIMITED".

Formula and Packaging

• Body Scrub: According to Epicutis, "fine sugar crystals + rice powder gently buff away rough, dull skin while omega-rich HYVIA helps replenish essential lipids and support the skin barrier." It comes in a jar, and the brand says to use it once weekly.
• The Lymphatic Brush: It has a half-moon shape and a dark wood-grain top with the Epicutis logo. The underside has amber flexible fibres and rows of rounded brown nubs. Cecily Braden publishes face and body tutorials with step-by-step routines.
• Lipid Body Treatment: It comes in a pump bottle and sells alone for $225 on epicutis.com.
• Box: Photos show a white box printed "EPICUTIS bodycare simplified" and "Bringing the best to the rest of you". Inside is a black insert holding the three products and a black spatula.

SHEGLAM's Jelly Refresh Pocket Lip Mask is a new tinted jelly lip mask in four flavoured shades, paired with a matching Vanilla Shake sugar lip scrub. Both cost $8.40 each and are sold separately, not as a boxed set. They were on sale at SHEGLAM.com by 12 October 2026, when an Instagram post announced them as "available now." It's the latest lip care release from SHEGLAM, following the brand's SHEGLAM x Friends Makeup Collection.

Updated 13 October 2026: all four Lip Mask shades and the Lip Scrub are in stock on SHEGLAM's US store and its global site, sheglam.com.

When Did the SHEGLAM Jelly Refresh Pocket Lip Mask Launch?

SHEGLAM hasn't announced an official release date. The products carry SHEGLAM's "New" tag and show no reviews yet. These are the confirmed dates:

• 12 October 2026: an Instagram post announced both products as "available now" at SHEGLAM.com.
• 13 October 2026: all five products were in stock on SHEGLAM's US and global stores.

Price

Each Lip Mask shade and the Lip Scrub costs $8.40 at SHEGLAM's US store and on global sheglam.com. The two stores showed the same prices.

On 13 October 2026, two shades were on a 15% sale at $7.14: 138 Strawberry Cake and 335 Watermelon Pop. The other two mask shades and the scrub were at the full $8.40. No GBP or EUR prices were listed when we checked; the global site shows prices in USD.

The Jelly Refresh Pocket Lip Mask comes in four flavoured, tinted shades:

• 138 Strawberry Cake: pink
• 335 Watermelon Pop: red
• 624 Coconut Milk: milky white/clear
• 625 Matcha Latte: green

The Jelly Refresh Pocket Lip Scrub comes in one flavour, 527 Vanilla Shake. SHEGLAM lists its flavour as Vanilla Bean, which is also the name used in the Instagram announcement.

What Makes the SHEGLAM Jelly Refresh Pocket Lip Mask Different?

• Pop-out applicator: each pot has a press-to-pop-out applicator with a built-in brush that is stored inside the pot.
• Flavoured shades: the four mask shades are named after desserts and drinks, and each has its own tint, from pink to green.
• Two-step pairing: SHEGLAM pairs the mask with the scrub. The scrub is used first to "gently exfoliate," then the mask to "deeply hydrate."

Formula and Packaging

• Jelly Refresh Pocket Lip Mask: SHEGLAM describes it as a "crystal-clear formula" that "delivers hydration and bouncy-looking shine while helping lips appear softer, fuller, and visibly plumped." The brand highlights squalane and shea butter to "moisturize, nourish & soothe dry lips." According to SHEGLAM's own test, the mask has a "90.06% moisturizing rate after 8 hours." It comes in a small round pastel-blue pot with a cream lid.
• Jelly Refresh Pocket Lip Scrub: this is a sugar (sucrose) scrub with squalane, jojoba oil and vitamin E. SHEGLAM calls it "textured for gentle exfoliation" and says it "buffs away dead skin and deeply conditions." It comes in a cream-coloured pot with the same pop-out applicator.

For other lip treatments released this month, see The Ordinary HA + Asiaticoside Lip Treatment and the OLEHENRIKSEN Pout Preserve Scandi Candy Peptide Lip Treatment, or browse all skincare launches.

How to Use

SHEGLAM's directions are to press the pot to pop out the applicator, then apply the product evenly to your lips. Wipe it off afterwards, then clean the applicator and put it back in the pot.

Dior L'Or de Vie Le Concentré de Nuit is a refillable night serum that pairs a retinol precursor with Dior's Golden Drop Life Technology Yquem extracts. It costs $1,820 for 15 ml in the US, with a $1,545 refill. Dior unveiled it on 11 October 2026, and by 12 October 2026 it was listed on dior.com in the US, France and Canada.

• 12 October 2026: it was listed on dior.com in the US, France and Canada. The US page shows it as refillable with an "Add to bag" option.

Avenue Montaigne Paris, Dior's boutique site, says L'Or de Vie "moves into the night" in 2026, ahead of the line's 20th anniversary. The serum arrives alongside Le Grand Cérémonial Millésime 2025, a limited, numbered edition of L'Or de Vie's three-month treatment.

What Makes the L'Or de Vie Le Concentré de Nuit Different?

• Retinol precursor: Avenue Montaigne Paris says Dior uses this retinol precursor exclusively in this product. It is also the first time Golden Drop Life Technology has been paired with one.
• Inverted emulsion: the formula uses a patent-pending inverted emulsion (FR2515417), a format Dior describes as "a true Dior feat."

Formula and Packaging

According to Dior:

• Golden Drop Life Technology: a complex of Yquem grape extracts. Dior's announcement calls this "the highest concentration" of the technology. Dior says it supports three skin longevity factors: NAD+, sirtuins and SOD, which the brand calls "the Protein of Life."
• Sève d'Or (golden sap): described as the complex's most powerful extract. Dior says it supports revitalisation processes 3.5x more, based on an in vitro ingredient test.
• 16.5% Yquem actives: this figure is the share of active raw materials in the product. The actives sit in aqueous micro-droplets, while a protective lipid envelope shields the retinol precursor. Dior doesn't name the precursor; the INCI list includes retinyl palmitate.
• Ectoin: per Avenue Montaigne Paris, it carries the actives into the skin within 2 hours, based on an in vitro marker test.
• Other key ingredients: the INCI list also includes grape (Vitis vinifera) vine extract, adenosine, superoxide dismutase and acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester.
• Texture: Dior describes a rich, enveloping texture that melts into the skin on massage.
• Clinical claims: Dior cites a dermatologist test on 30 women. According to the brand, skin looks smoother and more radiant from the first morning. After 2 months, facial volumes appear 4x more plumped (vs day 1) and features 3x more lifted (vs week 1).
• Packaging: Dior's images show a clear faceted glass bottle with a gold inner capsule and a gold pump and cap. The refill is a gold capsule that slots into the bottle.

How to Use

Dior's directions are to apply 2 pumps to the face and neck in the evening. The brand's suggested routine starts with L'Or de Vie La Lotion ($725 in the US), then Le Concentré de Nuit, then L'Or de Vie La Crème and La Crème Yeux.

SKIN1004's Madagascar Centella Teca Caffeine Cooling Gel Mask is a new gel-to-film face mask made with CENTELLA TECA™, 1% caffeine and soluble collagen. It comes as a single mask or a box of four, and SKIN1004 announced it for skin1004.com on 16 October 2026 (Pacific time). As of 17 October 2026, skin1004.com's product catalogue lists it at $5 for one mask and $20 for a box of four, but the product page doesn't open yet, so it can't be ordered. SKIN1004 says a U.S. launch is "coming soon."

Status: Announced for 16 October 2026; priced in skin1004.com's catalogue, not yet orderable.

Updated 17 October 2026: skin1004.com's catalogue now lists the mask at $5 (single) and $20 (4 masks), dated 16 October, but the product page still returns an error.

SKIN1004 launches a second gel mask the same day, the SKIN1004 Hyalu-Teca Peptide Bounce Gel Mask, a peptide and collagen gel mask that turns transparent as the skin absorbs it.

Release Date

SKIN1004 announced the Centella Teca Caffeine Cooling Gel Mask on Instagram. The brand says it will be available at skin1004.com from 16 October 2026 (PDT). SKIN1004 also says a U.S. launch is "coming soon" but hasn't named U.S. retailers or a date.

Price

Formula and Packaging

• Key ingredients: SKIN1004 says the formula combines CENTELLA TECA™, 1% caffeine and soluble collagen. According to the brand, the gel-to-film mask gives an instant cooling effect and helps reduce the appearance of puffiness.

- On its other Centella Teca products, SKIN1004 defines CENTELLA TECA™ as Centella Asiatica Extract, Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid and Asiatic Acid.

- The box says the mask is "made with pure centella from Madagascar."

RéVive hasn't announced an official release date. The brand teased the Renewal Set and Intensité Set on Instagram on 1 October 2026 with the line "Available soon at ReViveSkincare.com." Both sets were listed and in stock on reviveskincare.com by 8 October 2026.

RéVive Holiday 2026 Prices by Market

All prices come from reviveskincare.com, which shows local currency through its country selector. Prices were checked on 12 October 2026.

Not to be confused with two other RéVive offers:

What Makes the RéVive Holiday 2026 Sets Different?

• Different concerns: Each set targets a different concern. Renewal focuses on overnight renewal and texture. Intensité focuses on the appearance of lost volume.
• Packaging: Both sets come in dark green boxes with a gold Art Deco–style geometric line pattern and gold stars. Each box carries "Founder Gregory Bays Brown, M.D." RéVive says both sets are "inspired by Mondrian's exploration of order and balance."
• Format: Both are two-piece duos. The Neiman Marcus holiday sets are three-piece.

Formula and Packaging

All claims below come from RéVive.

• Renewal Refining Enzyme Essence: This is a bi-phase essence that you shake to activate. RéVive says it gently exfoliates, refines texture, minimizes the look of pores and preps skin. Key ingredients include papain, bromelain, pineapple fruit extract, pomegranate and pumpkin ferments, squalane and camellia seed oil.
• Renewal Rescue Elixir Oil: RéVive describes it as a "luxury gel oil" formulated to boost overnight renewal. The brand claims it "visibly reduces six types of wrinkles within 8 hours," firms the skin, improves the skin barrier and is safe for sensitive skin. Key ingredients include olive, safflower, coconut and meadowfoam oils, shea, murumuru butter, three peptides (Pentapeptide-129, Hexapeptide-9 and Tetrapeptide-4) and sodium DNA.
• Intensité Volumizing Serum: This serum has a "velvety melt texture" and is powered by "RV Volumizing Peptide with RVGF Technology." RéVive says it targets five hollow areas:

- Outer eye hollows

- Nasolabial folds

- Tear troughs

- Glabellar lines

- Marionette lines

Key ingredients include Hexapeptide-131, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12, Tetrapeptide-4, sodium DNA, four ceramides and hexylresorcinol. The brand says to press it only onto areas of volume loss, not over the full face.

• Intensité Volumizing Eye Cream: This eye cream has a "silky mousse texture." RéVive says it targets four types of eye-area hollows, fine lines, dark circles and puffiness. Key ingredients include sodium hyaluronate, panthenol, shea butter, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Dipeptide-2 and hesperidin methyl chalcone.

Murad Retinal ReSculpt Neck & Décolleté Lifting Serum is a 1.0 fl oz targeted retinal serum for the neck and chest, part of Murad's Resurgence line. It costs $109 (US) and first appeared on murad.com on 16 September 2026. NewBeauty included it in its list of October 2026 beauty launches. Find more launches in our skincare section.

Updated 11 October 2026: in stock at Murad US for $109 and labelled NEW. Not yet found at Ulta, Sephora US or Dermstore.

When Did the Murad Retinal ReSculpt Neck & Décolleté Lifting Serum Launch?

Murad hasn't announced an official release date. Murad's store data shows the serum went live on murad.com on 16 September 2026. The Retinal ReSculpt Firming Hand Treatment went live the same day. NewBeauty then listed the neck serum among its best new beauty products for October 2026.

Price

The serum is $109 (US) on murad.com. This is the only confirmed price. Murad notes that this item does not qualify for additional discounts or promotional offers. UK and other regional prices have not yet been announced.

What's New in the Retinal ReSculpt Lineup

The neck serum joins other Retinal ReSculpt treatments, each for a different area. Murad's own images present the neck serum, body treatment and hand treatment as "Targeted solutions for every area of concern."

The Body Treatment has been on murad.com since December 2024. A mini of the face version appeared in the Dermstore BeautyFIX Skin Reset Season box.

Where to Buy

• US: Murad ($109, in stock). Not found yet at Ulta Beauty, Sephora US or Dermstore.
• UK: Not yet confirmed. There is no murad.co.uk listing, and it was not found at Lookfantastic, Cult Beauty or Boots.
• Europe: Not yet confirmed.
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

What Makes the Retinal ReSculpt Neck & Décolleté Lifting Serum Different?

• Built for the neck and chest. NewBeauty frames it this way: the neck and chest age differently from the face. Murad says these areas have less structural support than facial skin and move constantly.
• Encapsulated retinal. Murad says its encapsulated retinal is 2.5 times more effective than free retinal. It also says the delivery is designed to minimise irritation.
• Released with a hand treatment. The Retinal ReSculpt Firming Hand Treatment ($55) went live on murad.com the same day.

Formula and Packaging

• Encapsulated retinal: according to Murad, it smooths crepiness, improves firmness and helps improve uneven tone.
• Lift & Contour Complex: this is powered by Kangaroo Paw Flower extract. The brand says it visibly lifts and firms, and that its antioxidant properties help protect skin's natural collagen.
• Hydration Complex: Murad says it delivers immediate and lasting hydration.
• Free-from claims: Murad lists the formula as made without parabens, sulfates, phthalates and gluten. Fragrance (parfum) appears in its ingredient list.
• Packaging: a 1.0 fl oz (30 ml) green pump bottle marked "Resurgence."

What the Brand Says About Results

According to Murad, a clinical evaluation found the serum visibly lifts, firms and smooths the neck and décolleté in 2 weeks. The same evaluation found it improves the appearance of sagging in 8 weeks. That study had 29–32 subjects over 8 weeks.

Murad also ran a consumer perception study with 32 subjects over 8 weeks:

• 93% said skin felt smoother and softer.
• 90% saw improved texture on the neck and chest.
• 81% said neck and chest lines appeared less visible, a figure NewBeauty also reported.

Murad's images include two unretouched before-and-after neck photos, taken at 2 weeks and 8 weeks.

For another retinal launch, see the FRUDIA Retinal B3 EXO RED Bubble Pack Booster.

How to Use

NewBeauty describes it as a nighttime serum for the neck and chest. Murad's page says to apply it to clean skin on the neck and décolleté and to follow with a moisturiser. It also advises reducing how often you use it if sensitivity occurs.
