The Homegrown Beauty Brand Where Science Meets Skincare

Beauty is an ever-evolving game – an industry that’s constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation to produce faster and better results. Whether it’s virtual makeup apps or a ground-breaking new formulation, the possibilities are endless.

For ést.lab, beauty and technology go hand-in-hand. ést.lab’s purpose has remained unchanged since day one: to create products with the highest rates of safety and efficacy for all skin types.

Dedication to its purpose is why ést.lab is a local pioneer in the R&D of beauty cosmetics technology. Since 2010, the brand has collaborated with the Agency of Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore's leading R&D agency, to bring together the worlds of science and beauty seamlessly. One of their key breakthroughs was the jointly-developed SkAI™ (Skin Analytics and Ingredients) Matrix, a proprietary framework that guides the ést.lab research team in selecting and formulating highly effective cosmetic products.

As a result, ést.lab now boasts a stellar line of award-winning products that combine traditional methods of wellness with cutting-edge research and technology. From acne-busting serums to high-tech devices formulated for different skin types and concerns, here are some of its all-star products to try now.

Need a pick-me-up for your tired peepers? The best-selling OptimaLift A+ Intelligent Eye Revitaliser Tri-Action Massager offers a potent spa treatment that you can enjoy from the comfort of your home.

This device is powered by three innovative technologies: Therapeutic Hot Compress, Sonic Vibrations, and LED Red Light Therapy. Together, these technologies promise to deliver bright, youthful and rested-looking eyes by brightening dark circles, promoting blood circulation, boosting collagen regeneration, and plumping up fine lines. Choose from three different modes and adjust the vibration and temperature settings for an eye treatment that’s tailored to your needs.

The OptimaLift A+ Eye Repair Capsules is an intensive eye repair treatment that promises to add a sparkle to your eyes, thanks to two potent active ingredients: Argireline and Eyeseryl. The lightweight serum, which comes in 60 biodegradable capsules, is said to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and maintain skin elasticity, while preventing eye bags and dark circles.

To use, twist open a capsule and gently apply the serum to your eye contours with your ring finger in a circular motion or massage it in with the Intelligent Eye Revitaliser.

Skincare routines may vary from one individual to the next, but there’s no doubt that sunscreen is an essential step for everyone. If you’re looking for a multi-tasking sunscreen that packs multiple benefits into one bottle, reach for ést.lab’s SunShield SPF50***.

Most impressive of all: SunShield SPF50*** doubles up as a tinted moisturiser with Vitamin C and Vitamin E for brightening, anti-aging and antioxidant benefits. Its unique colour-adaptive technology means the product will blend perfectly to your skin, while providing sheer coverage to minimise the appearance of pores and blemishes.

Fine lines, wrinkles, and saggy skin are some things you can expect as you age and your body’s collagen production starts to decline. VitaLift A+ Brillage Mask promises to fight the visible signs of aging with its innovative technology and cocktail of skin-loving ingredients for instant skin-lifting and firming. This nano bio-cellulose face mask is packed with micro-encapsulated Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin E that penetrates deeper and faster into the skin, anti-ageing peptides to stimulate collagen production, and seven soothing Ecocert-endorsed natural extracts.

The result is an instant boost of hydration and rejuvenated, dewy skin. The mask is made with superior-quality nano-grade organic fibres, which ensures a more comfortable fit on your face and maximum penetration of the mask’s ingredients into the layers of your skin.

Seeking a gentle but fast-acting remedy for acne? The PurClear Anti-Acne Serum offers the best of both worlds. This non-comedogenic serum contains the dual acne-fighting powers of Tea Tree Leaf oil and Alpine Willowherb extract to regulate sebum production, minimise pores, and fight breakouts.

It also contains an advanced version of Salicylic Acid to slow down its release and minimise skin irritation especially for sensitive skin. In addition, the Water Shuttle Technology has a unique time-release ability that releases water capsules slowly and keeps the skin hydrated for up to 12 hours.

New to est.lab’s LumiWhite series of products is the LumiWhite 10% PHA Resurfacing Glow Serum, a next-generation skin renewal chemical exfoliator that promises to add a boost of radiance to lacklustre skin. As its name suggests, its hero ingredient is a high concentration of 10 percent poly-hydroxy acid (PHA).

Gentle yet effective, gluconolactone (a high-performing water-soluble PHA) works as a chemical exfoliator to improve skin clarity, refine pores, smoothen texture, and improve sallowness. The product also harnesses the power of brightening Kakadu Plum to deliver a dose of healthy glow. Simply massage onto cleansed skin twice a day and before moisturiser to experience its full effects.

Touted as an ‘energy drink’  for your skin, the ActivCalm Skin Quenching Serum is set to be another crowd-pleaser. If you suffer from dull, sensitive, and dehydrated skin, this lightweight serum is formulated for you. It is packed with the hydration-locking capabilities of electrolytes and Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs) such as amino acids, PCA, and saccharides. These ingredients work in sync to lock moisture in the skin barrier, regulate pH and hydration levels, and effectively quench ‘thirsty’ and dehydrated skin.
