Actor Lawrence Wong's skincare brand Grail drops two new products
Grail is launching two new facial products for its skincare line following the announcement of its new vision and new packaging. Following the success of their predecessors, the much-anticipated new arrivals, Retinol Vitamin A Serum and Hydrating Rice Yeast Dewy Moisturizer, will be launched exclusively on grailskin.com on 4 August 2023.
1. Retinol Vitamin A Serum, S$58, 30ml
Get the best skin prep with this highly-anticipated skin-boosting serum. It encompasses a blend of 1.5% Retinol and 1.5% bakuchiol with vitamin A. The potent blend exfoliates, unclogs pores, improves skin texture, and minimises the appearance of fine lines. Retinol serums stimulate cell turnover and the production of collagen, rejuvenating skin to give an overall enhanced youthful glow.
Unique to Grail’s iteration of Retinol serums, its formulation is enriched with sweet almond oil, sunflower oil, and plukenetia volubilis seed oil. These ingredients support the protection of the moisture barrier and reduce irritation while improving the skin's tolerance to retinol.
2. Hydrating Dewy Moisturiser, S$38, 40ml
Achieve dewy complexion with this new long-lasting hydrating moisturiser featuring Grail’s new patented ingredient Hygroplex HHG, developed by CLR Berlin, a globally renowned laboratory, and skincare ingredient manufacturer. Hygroplex HHG delivers intense hydration, long-lasting effects, non-greasy feel, barrier support, and proven efficacy. Hygroplex HHG actively creates a protective barrier on the skin's surface, preventing moisture loss over an extended period. To enhance skin nourishment and support collagen production, Grail has also included prebiotic, postbiotic, and Rice Yeast in the formulation.
The key probiotic, sake yeast, is high in glycerol and amino acid content, effectively brightening skin complexion and offering anti-ageing properties. This multitasking moisturiser’s wealth of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids and the addition of niacinamide ensures moisture retention and reduces the appearance of pores and hyperpigmentation.

The Fall/Winter 2023 Miu Miu focuses on the visual process
The Fall/Winter 2023 Miu Miu collection by Miuccia Prada is focused on the instinctive process of looking, ways of seeing, and how an act of observation can in turn transform the object of its focus.
Familiar items of clothing - twinsets, knee-length skirts, hooded sweatshirts - move around the figure, providing different strengths and fragilities through their fabrication. The idea of glances influences notions of the underneath and outer, transparent chiffon opening windows onto clothes normally hidden, stockings exposed, dresses are overlaid. The complexity of layered clothes necessitates closer appraisal, an inquisitive mind, and curiosity.
Guests like actress Lee You-mi, singer Beabadoobee, Pauline Chalamet, Diane Kruger, Alexa Chung, Minnie and Lexie Liu were in attendance.
Miuccia Prada shared in a press statement, "The point with this collection was to look at fashion from a personal point of view. I am always interested in how people look at things, their consideration. Why people are attracted to certain ideas, why others repulse them. This collection explores the idea of looking - the concept that, through close study, garments can be transformed both in their design, and again in how they are worn. How fashion and fashion design can change perceptions, of things we think we know. It’s an invitation to reconsider.”
