Estée Lauder Nutritious Vitality8™ Collection

Estee Lauder's Nutritious Vitality8™ Collection is inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is focused on achieving beauty through balance and equilibrium. By fighting free radicals, maintaining moisture levels, and calming/soothing the skin, the objective is to free skin up to perform all its natural repair and regeneration processes at peak levels.

The "8" in the name comes from 8 key things designed to help promote more radiance:

• Pomegranate
• Soapberry
• Mangosteen
• Berries
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin E
• Antioxidant booster
• Mineral water

The original Nutritious line contains Pomegranate extract, which is concentrated in antioxidants and other nutrition. I remember purchasing their very first product, an Energy Lotion which you splash on as a pre-serum to help your skincare work better.

The upgraded collection will include an Overnight Detox Concentrate serum, a Moisture Creme, and two new products that are really interesting:

The first is the new Radiant Dual-Phase Emulsion, a dual-phase liquid and creme that you have to shake up and pat on like a very light lotion. This is great for oilier skins, and also for a quick refresher if you don't want to weigh your skin down.

There's also the new Overnight Creme/Mask, whichis like the sleeping packs and sleeping masks we are so used to here in Asia. You can apply this over your skincare or on its own (if you have oily skin) to help promote radiant skin in the morning. The texture looks quite thick and fluffy, but it sinks right in and doesn't feel greasy or heavy on the skin.

The Nutritious Vitality8™ Collection launches July 2015 in Singapore, and prices start at SGD92 for the Emulsion and Cream, to SGD106 for the Mask, and SGD116 for the concentrate.
