At A$199.95 against a retailer-stated value of A$485.08, the 2026 edition combines haircare, skincare and practical accessories. It is weighted toward haircare, which makes up 12 of the 24 items, so shoppers comparing it with makeup-heavy 2026 calendars can check the mix before ordering.

INNBEAUTY PROJECT's Extreme Routine Firming & Barrier Repair Set is a new limited-edition skincare set with a moisturizer, eye cream and cleanser. It costs $63 at Sephora US, which lists it at a $90.00 value, and it was on sale there by 7 October 2026. The brand's own graphic calls it the Extreme Routine Firm & Restore Travel Gift Set. You can find more launches from the brand on our INNBEAUTY PROJECT tag page.

Updated 8 October 2026: listed at Sephora US online for $63. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Did the INNBEAUTY PROJECT Extreme Routine Set Launch?

INNBEAUTY PROJECT hasn't announced an official release date for the set. It was listed and on sale at Sephora US by 7 October 2026, when it was first reported as "available now at Sephora." Sephora labels it "New Limited Edition," "Only at Sephora" and "Online Only," and in-store pickup isn't offered.

Price

The set costs $63 at Sephora US. Sephora lists the same items as a $90 value if bought separately. For context, INNBEAUTY PROJECT's own site lists the full-size Extreme Cream at $50, the full-size Extreme Cream Eye at $52 and the full-size Extreme Cleanse at $29. The set contains smaller sizes than those.

This set is not the same as two other sets on the brand's own site. The Extreme Cream Travel Duo sells for $49 and the Extreme Indulgence Trio for $36, both listed on innbeautyproject.com.

What's Inside

Sephora lists these three products:

• 0.5 oz / 15 mL Extreme Cream Firming & Lifting Moisturizer
• 0.5 oz / 15 mL Extreme Cream Eye Firming & Contouring Eye Cream
• 1 oz / 30 mL Extreme Cleanse Milky Micellar Cleanser

Products and Brand Claims

Every result below comes from INNBEAUTY PROJECT's clinical testing as shown on Sephora's listing:

• Extreme Cleanse: removes 100% of makeup and impurities after one wash, removes SPF, and strengthens the barrier for 8 hours after one wash.
• Extreme Cream: a 181% increase in hydration, 100% of users saw an increase in firmness and contour, and a 90% reduction in rough texture.
• Extreme Cream Eye: a 74% reduction in wrinkle depth, a 70% reduction in wrinkle length and width, and a 39% decrease in puffiness.

The brand says the routine works under concealer and makeup without pilling. If you're following the brand's firming products, see our earlier post on the iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Elastic Skin Firming & Plumping Serum.

Where to Buy

• US: Sephora ($63). Sephora currently lists it as an online-only exclusive. The set is not sold on innbeautyproject.com.
• UK: Not yet confirmed. INNBEAUTY PROJECT is not listed at Sephora UK.
• Canada: Not yet confirmed. The set is not listed at Sephora Canada.
• Europe: Not yet confirmed.
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 8 October 2026: listed at Sephora US (online only, $63); not listed at Sephora UK or Sephora Canada.

Other skincare sets out this season include the Topicals Faded Dark Spot Kit Gift Set and the Peach & Lily Glass Skin Holiday 2026 Kits.

What Makes the Extreme Routine Firming & Barrier Repair Set Different?

• It pairs a cleanser, an eye cream and a face moisturizer from INNBEAUTY PROJECT's Extreme line in one routine.
• Sephora currently lists it as a limited-edition, online-only exclusive.
• At $63, it costs $27 less than the $90 value Sephora lists.

Formula and Packaging

• Extreme Cleanse Milky Micellar Cleanser: the brand cites Adaptive Lipid Technology and micellar spheres, which it says attract, trap and rinse away makeup, SPF and impurities. It comes in a 1 oz / 30 mL size.
• Extreme Cream Eye: the brand cites Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 and biomimetic peptides, which it says smooth and depuff "360°" around the eye. It is a cream format.
• Extreme Cream: the brand cites its 3X Ceramide and Lipid Complex along with squalane, which it says support the skin barrier. INNBEAUTY PROJECT says the cream uses a reverse-emulsion texture.

INNBEAUTY PROJECT describes the set as:

• Free of parabens, formaldehydes, phthalates, mineral oil and SLS/SLES.
• Vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free.
• Fragrance-free and hypoallergenic.
• Dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested.

Sephora tags the set "Clean at Sephora."

How to Use

The brand's suggested order is Extreme Cleanse first, then Extreme Cream Eye, then Extreme Cream. INNBEAUTY PROJECT recommends using the routine morning and night.

Topicals' other new gift set this season is the Topicals Bright Eyes & Slick Lips Kit, a $30 Sephora set of Faded eye masks and Slick Salve lip balms.

When Did the Topicals Faded Dark Spot Kit Launch?

Topicals hasn't announced an official release date for the kit. These are the dated sightings:

• 6 October 2026 – on sale at Sephora US (first seen), announced as "available now at Sephora" on Instagram
• 8 October 2026 – listed at Sephora Canada (out of stock when checked)

Price

The Topicals Faded Dark Spot Kit Gift Set costs $28 at Sephora US. Sephora puts the value at $44 if the items were bought separately. In Canada it is C$37.50, with a stated value of C$60. Topicals hasn't published a per-item breakdown for the kit's sizes.

The kit is not to be confused with three other Topicals sets on mytopicals.com: the Faded Starter Kit ($25), the Faded Complete Dark Spot Bundle ($80) and the Travel Cleansing Bar Set ($35, a Faded bar and a Slather bar with a tin). The Faded Dark Spot Kit itself was not listed on Topicals' own site on 8 October 2026.

What's Inside

Sephora lists these contents:

• 3.5 oz / 100 g Faded Brightening & Cleansing Bar
• 2 Faded Peel Pads
• 10 Faded Dark Spot Patches
• Cleansing Bar metal travel case

The Three Steps

Sephora's images label each product as one step of a routine:

1. Cleanse – Faded Cleansing Bar: a hydrating, non-stripping bar that gently brightens uneven skin tone on the face and body.
2. Treat – Faded Peel Pads: an exfoliating pad that smooths texture and visibly reduces stubborn discoloration.
3. Target – Faded Dark Spot Patches: patches that brighten dark spots and minimise future discoloration.

According to Topicals and Sephora, the kit is "formulated with award-winning Faded actives, each step targets discoloration from a different angle." The brand says the kit can "fade stubborn dark spots in as little as 14 days."

Where to Buy

• US: Sephora ($28)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Canada: Sephora Canada (C$37.50, out of stock)
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 8 October 2026: listed at Sephora US; out of stock at Sephora Canada. Not listed as a kit on mytopicals.com and not found at Sephora UK.

What Makes the Faded Dark Spot Kit Different?

• It packs three formats into one set: a rinse-off bar, leave-on peel pads and overnight spot patches.
• The cleansing bar comes with a metal travel case.
• Sephora's description says it works on dark spots "without stripping the skin."

Spot patches are also part of this season's gift sets from other brands, such as the Coquette Spot Dots in Peach Slices Holiday 2026 at Ulta. For more seasonal sets, see Paula's Choice Holiday 2026 Skincare Kits.

Formula and Packaging

• Faded Brightening & Cleansing Bar: Topicals says it contains shea butter, niacinamide and vitamin C. The brand describes it as fragrance-free and non-bleaching. It works on both face and body.
• Faded Peel Pads: The pads contain glycolic, mandelic, lactic, salicylic and tranexamic acids plus retinol. Each pad comes pre-soaked in its own sachet. Topicals says the pads are "clinically proven to reduce the appearance of dark spots and post-breakout marks in 4 weeks," based on a 4-week clinical and consumer perception study with 34 participants.
• Faded Dark Spot Patches: The patches contain niacinamide, tranexamic acid, ascorbic acid and kojic acid in a gel patch. According to Topicals, they are "clinically proven to reduce dark spots in as little as 6 hours," based on a clinical study of 30 participants.

According to Sephora's listing, the set is free of parabens, formaldehydes, phthalates, mineral oil, oxybenzone, hydroquinone, SLS/SLES and more, and contains less than 1% synthetic fragrance. Sephora's images show the box with the open metal tin, a flat-lay labelled Cleanse/Treat/Target, a three-step chart with models, and before-and-after photos for the peel pads at four weeks.

How to use: Topicals directs lathering the bar on damp skin, leaving it on for about one minute, then rinsing. Swipe a peel pad once over clean, dry face and neck at night, 2–3 times a week, without rinsing. On other nights, apply the patches gel-side down on dark spots overnight or for at least 6 hours, and wear SPF during the day.

What Makes the Platinum Rare Rejuvenation Trunk Different?

Packaging

Harrods presents the set as a keepsake trunk. Its images show:

• a deep purple leather-look vanity case with leather carry handles and a silver La Prairie plaque
• a mirrored lid and a front panel that folds down

FRUDIA's Retinal B3 EXO RED Bubble Pack Booster, a 140 ml dual-layer "bubble toner" from the Korean brand's F-LAB line, is on sale at YesStyle for a list price of 133.04 zł on the retailer's Poland storefront. YesStyle tags it "Trending New", and a customer review dated 15 September 2026 shows it has been on sale there since at least mid-September 2026. The exact launch date has not been confirmed. FRUDIA is also promoting the booster through a FRUDIA × YesStyle creator collaboration announced on Instagram on 6 October 2026.

What's New

The booster's main difference from a standard toner is its dual-layer formula. It combines a creamy layer and a water layer in a 1:9 ratio, which the brand's graphic describes as "10% cream, 90% water". You shake it before use to mix the two layers. The packaging line reads "For Plumping & Glow With NAD+, Peptide."

The "EXO" in the name refers to punica granatum (pomegranate) callus extracellular vesicles.

Key Ingredients

YesStyle's listing includes these notable ingredients:

• Niacinamide (vitamin B3)
• Volufiline, at 5%
• Retinal, which appears well down the ingredient list. No percentage is given.
• NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) and NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
• sh-Oligopeptide-1, ceramide NP and sodium hyaluronate
• Sodium DNA, collagen amino acids, adenosine and bromelain

What the Brand Says

According to FRUDIA and YesStyle's product listing, the booster:

• helps improve skin texture and volume
• gives instant radiance
• hydrates and smooths the skin, which the brand says helps stop makeup from caking or flaking

The brand says the combination of 5% Volufiline and niacinamide helps improve the look of uneven skin tone and enlarged pores and helps restore skin volume. The listing states that a skin irritation test has been completed.

FRUDIA's Instagram graphics make similar claims: dewy hydration, instant radiance, smoother texture, plumper-looking skin and better makeup prep.

How to Use

The brand's directions are:

1. Shake the bottle well to combine the cream and water layers.
2. After cleansing, dispense 2–3 pumps.
3. Apply to the skin.

Because the formula contains retinal, follow the brand's directions and on-pack guidance.

Price

YesStyle shows prices in each shopper's local currency. The only verified price comes from the Poland storefront: a list price of 133.04 zł, reduced to 119.74 zł with a 10% discount at the time of writing. A twin pack is also available. Prices in other regions appear at checkout in local currency.

Where to Buy

Mary Kay launched the K-Beauty Texture Edit on 5 October 2026, a special-edition collection of three Korea-made skin care products priced from $26 to $32 each in the US. The brand says it will be available in 40 markets while supplies last. Mary Kay describes the collection as inspired by Korean skin care and self-care, and it follows the brand's global platform, Beauty Is More Beautiful Shared, which launched in September 2026.

What's New

The K-Beauty Texture Edit covers three familiar steps: cleansing, patches and moisturizing. Mary Kay says each product is designed to fit into an existing routine, so customers can try new textures without replacing their current regimen. There is no bundled set. The products are sold individually.

The Products and Prices

Melt-In Cleansing Balm, $26 (1.6 fl. oz.)

This is a twist-to-dispense balm that, according to Mary Kay, melts on contact into a velvety oil and turns milky when water is added. The brand lists a PDRN (salmon DNA) infusion, rice bran oil, vitamin E and an emollient blend that it says helps dissolve impurities, face makeup and excess oil. Mary Kay says the balm leaves skin feeling soft and clean.

Snail Gel Face Patches, $32 (60 patches, 3.1 oz.)

These are flexible, embossed hydrogel patches shaped for areas such as the forehead and cheeks. They are separate from Mary Kay's existing Hydrogel Eye Patches. The brand says the formula combines snail mucin (snail secretion filtrate), niacinamide, licorice extract and triple hyaluronic acid to help hydrate and brighten the appearance of skin, with a cooling hydrogel base.

Collagen Moisturizing Gel, $28 (1.6 fl. oz.)

This is a pale pink jelly moisturizer. Mary Kay says it delivers hydration, plumpness and a "glass skin" glow. Listed ingredients include low-molecular-weight collagen peptides, niacinamide, squalane, and a superfood blend of oat kernel, tomato, spinach and blueberry extracts.

How to Use

Mary Kay gives these directions for each product:

• Cleansing Balm: Give it a half turn for bare skin or a full turn on sunscreen or makeup days. Melt the balm, massage it in, add water and rinse. Use it alone or as the first step of a double cleanse, up to twice daily.
• Face Patches: Use 2–3 times a week. Apply to clean skin with the included spatula and leave on for 20 minutes. Avoid the eye and lip areas. Pat in any remaining essence and reseal the jar.
• Moisturizing Gel: Dip the spatula in, dab the gel onto skin and press to absorb. Use morning and evening on the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. The brand says it can be used as a seasonal swap for another Mary Kay moisturizer or layered with one.

Where to Buy

• US: Mary Kay Melt-In Cleansing Balm ($26), Mary Kay Collagen Moisturizing Gel ($28), Mary Kay Snail Gel Face Patches ($32). The products are also available through Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants.
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Available through Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants in participating markets (40 markets, according to Mary Kay). Local prices are not yet confirmed.
