03 - Lancôme's Génifique Ultimate Serum, SGD204
Then Lancôme draws inspiration from the Chinese proverb, “As soon as the horse arrives, victory arrives.” Its Génifique Ultimate Serum comes in a limited-edition 50 ML packaging that unfolds into a pop-up artwork of four horses. Each one symbolises a blessing for the year ahead.
Inside, the dual-repair augmented formula uses a patented Beta Glucan-CM technology with hyaluronic acid and probiotic fractions. As a result, it targets redness and fine lines while helping repair damage. Skin looks smoother, stronger and more resilient with continued use. LANCÔME
04 - Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum, SGD210
Lastly, Sulwhasoo’s Year of the Horse design references an ancient artefact depicting a heavenly horse, now reimagined in motion. The galloping figure with a flame-like mane runs across the iconic 120 ML bottle. The plum blossom and starlight motifs that accompany it symbolise resilience and hope for the new year.
As a K-beauty icon, this first-step serum not only strengthens the skin barrier and restores essential moisture. It also enhances the absorption of everything that follows in your routine. If you take layering seriously, this is where to begin. SULWHASOO
