Laneige has made a good product better. The South Korean beauty brand launched the Water Sleeping Mask Ex ($45 for 70ml) - a reformulation of its Water Sleeping Mask, its global bestseller for the past 16 years.

The enhanced formula includes sugar cane-derived squalane to seal in moisture and protect the skin barrier, and a probiotics complex containing Apsulloc - a green tea probiotics from Jeju's tea fields which supposedly strengthens the skin defense and brightens tired skin.

In line with the rising skincare trend of maintaining the skin's microbiome, the product also includes Sleeping Microbiome, a patented technology that works to rebuild the skin's biome balance after damage by external aggressors such as dust and UV rays.

INFO: Available at all Laneige boutiques and Laneige LazMall from Jan 15

If social distancing and closed borders are keeping you apart, send your loved one virtual hugs and kisses via this bottle instead.

INFO: Priced at $289 and available at all SK-II counters
