Experiment's Glycerin Discovery Skincare Hydration Set is a three-step barrier kit with a full-size Super Saturated serum and two minis. The set costs $42 at Sephora US and on experimentbeauty.com, which both state a $54 value. It went on sale in the Sephora app on 15 October 2026, then on Sephora's other platforms and Experiment's own site on 16 October 2026. Sephora says the glycerin-powered kit is designed to cleanse, hydrate and support the skin barrier.

Experiment's other new launch is the limited-edition holiday lip shade Experiment Softwear 4D Limited-Edition Lip Treatment.

Updated 17 October 2026: Experiment now sells the set on its own site, experimentbeauty.com, for $42, and it was in stock when we checked on 17 October. Sephora US also lists it at $42, now as an online-only item.

Release Date

Sephora US lists the set as "available exclusively in app 10/15, all other platforms 10/16". That means it went on sale in the Sephora app on 15 October 2026 and on Sephora's other platforms on 16 October 2026. On 15 October, the listing carried a "New" badge and pointed shoppers to the Sephora app to buy. Pickup isn't offered for this item.

The set appeared on experimentbeauty.com on 16 October 2026. Experiment announced it on Instagram the same week as "now available at experimentbeauty.com and Sephora".

Price

The set costs $42 at Sephora US and on experimentbeauty.com. Both list a $54 value for the set. The two minis aren't sold on their own, so there's no item-by-item breakdown that adds up to that figure.

On experimentbeauty.com, the full-size Super Saturated serum costs $28 on its own.

This set is not to be confused with Experiment's 360 Barrier Routine ($72 at experimentbeauty.com). That bundle contains the same three products, and the brand calls it an $80 value. The Glycerin Discovery Set is the cheaper, smaller-size option, at $42 on the same site.

What's Inside

Sephora lists these three products: one full-size serum and two minis.

• Plasma Wash Moisture-Depositing Gel Cream Cleanser with Glycerin, 1.35 oz / 40 mL (mini)
• Super Saturated Hydrating Barrier Serum with 30% Glycerin + Polyglutamic Acid, 1.35 oz / 40 mL (full size)
• Molecular Mesh Barrier Strengthening Moisturizer with Ectoin + Centella, 0.67 oz / 20 mL (mini)

For comparison, the brand site sells Plasma Wash full size at 150 ml for $22 and Molecular Mesh at 60 ml for $30. Super Saturated also comes in a Jumbo 80 ml size for $46.

Where to Buy

• US: Sephora ($42, online only). In the Sephora app from 15 October 2026, and on Sephora's other platforms from 16 October 2026.
• US (brand site): Experiment ($42), from 16 October 2026.
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Canada: Not yet confirmed (not listed at Sephora Canada)
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: Availability varies by region, and more international stockists may be added.

Checked 17 October 2026: in stock on experimentbeauty.com ($42); listed at Sephora US as online only ($42); not listed at Sephora Canada.

You can browse more skincare releases on our site. Sephora also carries another mini hydration kit, the Fenty Skin Quench Kit.

What Makes the Glycerin Discovery Skincare Hydration Set Different?

• The full-size product is the serum, while the cleanser and moisturizer come as minis.
• Super Saturated contains 30% glycerin. According to Experiment, glycerin above 25% helps replenish the barrier as well as hydrate.
• At $42, it costs $30 less than Experiment's $72 360 Barrier Routine, which has the same three products in full sizes.

Other barrier-focused kits this season include the INNBEAUTY PROJECT Extreme Routine Firming & Barrier Repair Set and Paula's Choice Holiday 2026 Skincare Kits.

Formulas and Packaging

• Plasma Wash uses glycerin, amino-acid surfactants and castoryl maleate. Experiment says castoryl maleate helps glycerin stay on the skin after rinsing. It is a low-foaming gel-cream. In the brand's 35-person study, Experiment reports a 33% increase in skin hydration eight hours after use.
• Super Saturated contains 30% glycerin, polyglutamic acid, 2% niacinamide and squalane. It is a concentrate meant for damp skin, and the brand says malachite extract gives it its blue colour. Experiment reports a 96% improvement in hydration immediately after use in a 30-person study.
• Molecular Mesh contains ectoin, centella asiatica, phytosphingosine and squalane. The brand describes it as a lightweight cream that doesn't pill under SPF. In a 32-person study, Experiment reports a 28% decrease in redness after two weeks.

Sephora's listing contains a contradiction on fragrance. It says all three formulas are fragrance-free and made with sensitive skin in mind. Its "Ingredient Callouts" line also says the products contain less than one percent synthetic fragrance.

How to Use

Sephora's directions are to massage Plasma Wash onto damp skin and rinse, then apply one to two pumps of Super Saturated to damp skin. Follow with a small amount of Molecular Mesh, and add sunscreen during the day.

According to Laura Geller and Sephora, the set is designed to apply, blend, buff, sculpt and define. The brand says the brushes work with cream, liquid and powder textures, as well as Laura Geller's baked formulas. Laura Geller also says the bristles resist shedding and fallout over time.

How to Use the Set

Sephora's guide groups the brushes by formula type:

• Liquid and cream products: use the angled foundation brush, the two concealer brushes and The Wonder Brush.
• Powder and baked products: use the kabuki, setting powder and highlighter brushes.
• Eyes: use the All-Over Eyeshadow Brush for cream or powder eyeshadow, and the Smudger for cream or powder eyeshadow and eyeliner.

Not to Be Confused With

Laura Geller's own website sells a different holiday set, the Brush Vault Limited Edition Brush Set. It is also $99, but it comes in a gold roll-up case and has a different line-up, including a Face + Body Brush and a Dual-Ended Brow Brush. The Brush Edit is not sold on laurageller.com.

Where to Buy

Violette_FR has two holiday 2026 gift sets arriving at Sephora, and both focus on what the French brand does best: lips. One is a trio of mini lip treatments. The other pairs two full-size products in the cult-favourite shade Bêtise. Both are limited edition and online only at Sephora US, so if they're on your list (or your wish list), here's what you need to know.

Les Petites Mini Balm Amour Trio

Balm Amour is Violette_FR's balm-meets-treatment for lips, rated 4.7/5 on the brand's site. Reviewers praise its rich, silky, non-sticky feel and its soft vanilla scent.

The Les Petites set contains three mini tinted Balm Amour tubes in these shades:

• Rose Latte: a soft pink
• Noisette: a chocolate brown
• Aïssa: a berry-plum

The set costs $32.00. Sephora lists its value at $34.00. For comparison, one full-size Balm Amour costs $26 on Violette_FR's site, so the trio is a low-cost way to try three shades. Minis also fit easily in coats, clutches and stockings.

Bouche Duo Bêtise Edition

Bêtise (pronounced bae-teaz) is named after a traditional French mint candy. It's Violette_FR's best-selling warm berry shade and keeps selling out. The Bouche Duo includes two full-size products in this shade, in festive packaging decorated with cherries and pink macarons:

• Bisou Balm: a sheer matte lipstick crossed with a hydrating balm. It gives a soft-focus, blurred "bouche mordue" (just-bitten lips) finish.
• Lip Nectar: a glossy, hydrating lip stain with squalane, shea butter, ceramides and hyaluronic acid. The brand says the colour lasts up to 8 hours without feeling sticky.

The duo costs $43.00. Bought separately, the two products would cost $59 ($30 for Bisou Balm plus $29 for Lip Nectar), so you save $16.

How to Wear Them Together

• Prep first. Bisou Balm has a matte finish, so apply Balm Amour (or any balm) first. Let it sink in for a few minutes, then blot with a tissue.
• Create a blurred look. Swipe Bisou Balm slightly past your natural lip line, then smudge the edges with a fingertip.
• Build up a stain. Apply Lip Nectar to your bottom lip, then your top lip. Wait up to two minutes for the colour to develop. Blot between coats if you want more intensity.
• Layer the formulas. Reviewers like using a light layer of Bisou Balm under Lip Nectar, which makes the stain stand out more once the shine fades.
• Bring back the shine. When Lip Nectar's gloss wears off, add a clear balm on top.

Where to Buy

Both Violette_FR gift sets are limited edition and sold only online at Sephora US. Bêtise has sold out before, so if you want either set, it's worth buying early.

Shopping for someone whose cologne you can never quite pin down? The Sephora Favorites Holiday Mini Deluxe Cologne Edition 2026 is built for that. Labelled on the box as the Sephora Favorites Deluxe Cologne Sampler, it lets you try eight designer fragrance minis, pick a favourite, and then redeem the included voucher for a full-size bottle of that scent at no extra cost (shipping excluded, per the box).

Release Date: When You Can Shop It

Timing matters with this one. The set launches exclusively in the Sephora app on 9 October 2026, reaches all other Sephora platforms on 10 October 2026, and arrives in Sephora stores on 12 October 2026. Sephora's holiday samplers tend to sell out quickly, so the app drop is your best chance to secure one.

Products: The 8 Minis Inside

The box comes in a striking blue crystal shard-print design, with a window that shows off all eight minis:

• Burberry Hero Eau de Parfum (5 ml/0.16 fl oz): woody
• Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Eau de Toilette (5 ml/0.16 fl oz): fresh and aquatic
• Gucci Guilty Pour Homme Parfum (5 ml/0.16 fl oz): aromatic
• Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum Eau de Parfum Intense (7 ml/0.24 fl oz): warm
• Jo Malone London Cypress & Grapevine Cologne Intense (9 ml/0.3 fl oz): woody
• Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace Eau de Toilette (7 ml/0.2 fl oz): smoky and cosy
• Prada Beauty Paradigme Eau de Parfum (7 ml/0.23 fl oz)
• Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Eau de Toilette (4 ml/0.135 fl oz)

The Voucher: Choose Your Full Size

The certificate redeems for one full-size bottle from the same lineup:

• Burberry Hero Eau de Parfum (1.6 fl oz)
• Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Eau de Toilette (1.7 fl oz)
• Gucci Guilty Pour Homme Parfum (1.6 fl oz)
• Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum Eau de Parfum Intense (2.5 fl oz)
• Jo Malone London Cypress & Grapevine Cologne Intense (1.7 fl oz)
• Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace Eau de Toilette (1 fl oz)
• Prada Beauty Paradigme Eau de Parfum (1 fl oz)
• Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Eau de Toilette (1.7 fl oz)

Price: Is It Worth It?

The set costs $98, and the announcement gives a stated value of $189. Beyond the numbers, the real benefit is that you never commit to a full bottle blind. You live with each scent first, then choose.

How to Get the Most From Your Sampler

• Test on skin, not paper. Fragrance changes as it warms, so wear each mini for a full day.
• One scent per day. Layering several at once blurs your judgement.
• Take notes. Jot down how each one smells on application, after an hour, and by evening.
• Try different settings. Something fresh like Acqua di Gio may suit daytime, while By the Fireplace might win for cosy evenings.

A Smart Gift Idea

For anyone who is hard to buy cologne for, this sampler takes the guesswork out of gifting. They explore eight designer names and then choose their own full size. It's thoughtful, generous, and practically foolproof.
