New skincare designed for luminous, glowing skin.
With the combination of cooler temperatures, whipping winds, and indoor heating, skin can feel striped of moisture, leaving it feeling dry, flaky, and in need of extra TLC.
Winter is the time to switch your routine and try one of these new skincare products to help your skin revive and becoming more luminous and glowing.
If your skin thrived during the warmer months with lighter lotions and gel-based cleansers, it may now be crying out for richer textures, more hydration, and barrier-repairing ingredients.
Key Tips for Cold-Weather Skincare:
- Switch to creamy cleansers that won’t strip the skin’s natural oils.
- Add a hydrating serum or essence, especially those with hyaluronic acid or glycerin.
- Don’t skip SPF. UV rays are still active, even in cloudy, cold weather.
- Consider overnight treatments like masks or balms that help repair the skin while you sleep.
- Listen to your skin. As the weather changes, so too should your routine.
Here are our top 15 skincare brands we rate for the season.
1. Hada Labo Lotion No.1 Super Hydrator RRP $35.95
Though not a new brand, this Japanese skincare giant; Hada Labo, is known for deep hydration. Their Premium Super Hydrator is a winter skincare essential, containing five types of hyaluronic acid to deeply penetrate and retain moisture within the skin.
Lightweight yet incredibly nourishing, it layers beautifully under thicker moisturisers and won’t pill under makeup. It’s perfect for all skin types and especially those who find their skin becoming tight and dehydrated in the cooler air.
Pro tip: Pat it into damp skin after cleansing for maximum absorption.
The new Multi-Revitaliser Super Hydrogel cream is also a winning product by Hada. The cream is enriched with three types of hyaluronic acid, penetrating deeply for a plump, smooth complexion and multi-layered hydration.
2. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel with Hyaluronic Acid RRP $22.69
For a chemist gem that consistently delivers, Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost Water Gel is a must-have for the changing seasons.
Packed with purified hyaluronic acid, this gel-cream offers intense hydration in a non-greasy formula. While it’s light enough for summer, it’s also effective at locking in moisture when layered with a richer cream in winter.
Their newer Hydro Boost Night Pressed Serum is another one to watch – it’s a gel-serum hybrid that works overnight to deeply replenish tired, dull skin.
3. Supple Skin Co Dew Drops (Normal/Dry Formula) RRP $45
Australian indie brand Supple Skin Co has been getting rave reviews for its minimal but mighty product range.
Meet Australia’s #1 Hemp-Based Serum that clears up acne, reduces excess oil & soothes skin inflammation. Powered by their signature Hemp Seed Oil blend, it repairs the damaged skin barrier while reducing scars and redness for clear & glowing skin.
This organic oil blend helps soothe inflammation, prevent moisture loss, and even improve skin texture over time.
This product is perfect for slugging (the skincare trend of sealing in your routine with a final occlusive layer), and it doubles as a hydrating primer for drier skin types.
4. Dr. Aspect’s Cryo Energising Mask RRP $115
This is the ultimate restorative mask by Dr Aspect, and new to the range.
Designed to awaken devitalised skin this invigorating mask is inspired by the science of cryotherapy, delivering an oxygen-optimised nutrient surge to the skin.
It’s the perfect pick-me-up to revitalise dull, stressed, and fatigued skin, as it deeply moisturises the skin for lasting hydration and provides a detoxifying boost to clarify and restore a rosy, dewy glow.
Tip: This mask can be left on overnight for the ultimate renewal. However, it does flush skin, so if you are prone too flushed skin or rosacea, test first by using the mask for a few minutes before committing to longer.
5. Beauté Pacifique Instant Hydrating Mask RRP $73
When your skin feels parched, tired, or just in need of a little TLC, the Beauté Pacifique Instant Hydrating Mask delivers an instant surge of moisture and a luxurious, spa-worthy glow. This powerhouse formula is packed with plumping collagen to help smooth fine lines and restore bounce, and skin-identical squalane to protect, soften, and deeply nourish — even if your skin barrier is feeling compromised.
As soon as it’s applied, this mask creates an invisible moisture shield, locking in hydration while calming and comforting the skin. In just 5–10 minutes (or longer if you want to give yourself a real treat), it boosts hydration levels within the epidermis for lasting softness — so your skin feels revived, supple, and ready to face the day.
Beauté Pacifique have recently launched their new range Chaperone.
This launch is big news in the beauty world — and with good reason. The Chaperone range is a breakthrough in anti-ageing skincare, designed to actively chaperone your skin cells towards youthful vitality.
Featuring a unique blend of advanced peptides, antioxidants, and moisture-locking actives, Chaperone works to minimise the appearance of fine lines, improve elasticity, and shield your complexion from daily environmental stressors. It’s intelligent skincare that not only targets the visible signs of ageing but also helps future-proof your skin, making it the ultimate companion for a healthy, radiant complexion at any age.
6. Neutriderm’s Moisturising Lotion with Vitamin E RRP $20
Perfect for all skin types, but particularly anyone with dry, damaged skin, this luxurious lotion helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin redness known as erythema. It also protects the skin from oxidative stress, shields it from free radicals, and promotes collagen production.
Its non-greasy formula doesn’t leave a sticky or oily residue and is ideal for daily use and all skin types.
Unlike products that contain synthetic Vitamin E (tocopherol acetate), this dry skin moisturiser is formulated with naturally occurring Vitamin E called tocopherol phosphate. This natural form of Vitamin E provides stronger antioxidant action, superior absorption, and faster results than synthetic forms.
7. Crop Skincare Turmeric Brightening Facial Cream RRP $40
This lightweight, hydrating moisturiser absorbs quickly, delivering essential moisture and radiance to the skin. It helps to visibly brighten and even skin tone, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Made with nourishing skin ingredients like Lavender Oil, Orange Peel, Ginger root Oil and Turmeric Root Extract, skin will feel hydrated and smoother after using for a few days.

The super-light formula applies smoothly and absorbs quickly, leaving skin looking and feeling fresh, energised and awakened.
Although not new in the beauty market, we had to add a mention of No7’s incredible Radiance Vitamin C Serum as a must have product to use in the cooler months.
Vitamin C has become an essential skincare need, not just for the antioxidant component, but for the anti-ageing benefits it provides to the skin, in reducing fine lines and wrinkles and improving overall skin texture. Vitamin C is also a natural collagen booster that in turn improves your skin’s elasticity, texture, and quality making it look tight and young.
11. Bioderma Atoderm Huile De Douche Shower Oil RRP $46.99
As the weather gets colder, and the showers get hotter, it’s a good time to shift your normal body wash over to a more nourishing cleanser designed to both cleanse the skin, and increase skin hydration.
This shower oil is a gentle cleansing oil for all dry skin types, ages, and sensitivities, and has been designed to effectively clean the skin while restoring moisture and nourishment.
Now available in a handy 1L refill to reduce plastic use. As an oil-based cleanser, it works to gently pick up dirt and bacteria from the face and body that can often cause skin dryness and sensitivities. Rather than drying the skin out, the lipid-restoring agents within the cleanser will work to nourish the skin while flushing out dirt and bacteria.
Its exclusive formula composed of lipid-replenishing agents like niacinamide and plant biolipids, it moisturisers and intensely nourishes the skin, calms feelings of tightness, and protects against external aggressions. The patented Skin Barrier Therapy complex helps limit the adhesion of certain bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus which can be the cause of worsening skin dryness.
You can also purchase the Bioderma Atoderm Ultra-Nourishing Cleansing Shower Oil Eco-Refill 1L RRP $44.99 which helps reduce waste.

This Brightcare Day Serum is a daily rejuvenating lightweight serum enriched with the powerhouse vitamin B complex – Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) and Vitamin B5 (Panthenol).
