The sun is still playing hide and seek, but the days are slowly getting longer. And with them, that craving for a little extra glow. Say goodbye to dull skin — hello to a fresh, radiant complexion, almost sun-kissed, even without makeup. Serums, creams, masks, targeted gestures: a closer look at these essentials that sculpt, revive and bring back that effortless healthy glow we’ve been missing.
The eye brightener
To awaken the face, everything starts with the eyes. At Caudalie, the Vinoperfect Brightening Eye Cream targets dark circles — whether blue or brown — and instantly revives radiance. Its ceramic applicator, naturally cooling, refreshes on contact and smooths the eye contour. Result: a more open, well-rested look — like after a full night’s sleep.
The sculpting serum
Facial massage in the morning is more than just a trend. Features soften, circulation boosts, and the skin reflects light more beautifully. To elevate the ritual, Dermalogica introduces the Neurotouch Symmetry Serum. Its silky oil texture glides under the fingers while a blend of neurocosmetic and botanical actives works on facial volume. Over time, contours appear more defined, the face looks awakened — and the results are both visible and tangible.
The no-makeup glow
Looking for a fresh complexion without foundation? The Radiant Complexion Cream by Embryolisse melts into the skin and instantly boosts radiance. Silk tree extract, hyaluronic acid, and light-reflecting pearls work together to hydrate and enhance glow, without any heavy finish.
The energy boost
The latest drop from Fenty Skin instantly caught our attention. This energizing serum features 15% vitamin C, enhanced with plant-based caffeine. A blend of niacinamide and botanical actives smooths and revives radiance while respecting the skin barrier. On clean skin, apply a few drops into your hands and gently pat onto the face.
The next-gen skin perfector
This hybrid treatment from La Chênaie, halfway between skincare and makeup, delivers an instant natural glow while improving skin quality over time. Its pigment micro-capsules adapt to all skin tones, blur imperfections and illuminate without weight. On the skincare side, hyaluronic acid hydrates, while Quercus Petraea extract protects and plumps.
The everyday essential serum
Our go-to from Patyka — the one we keep reaching for. This serum instantly revives the complexion while delivering deep hydration. Powered by vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and organic lemon balm extract, it smooths, energizes and enhances the skin’s natural glow.
The face-sculpting tool
Spotted at Seasonly, the Boulado Face Tool reinterprets lymphatic drainage massage to boost circulation and de-puff the face. Easy to use, it mimics a kneading pinch combined with a draining motion, leaving features visibly fresher. Perfect for beginners looking to upgrade their skincare routine.
The protected glow
A true discovery: Soleil Chérie. With its Aurore cream, the brand delivers a complete treatment combining SPF50 protection and controlled glow. Lightweight texture, subtly tinted finish — the skin looks naturally radiant and plumped. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and peach kernel oil for hydration without heaviness.
The custom sun-kissed effect
The T34 Tinted Serum by Typology delivers a subtle tan — no sun required. Just a few drops warm up the complexion, with a buildable, natural finish.
Enriched with vitamin E and apricot extract, it enhances radiance while caring for the skin. Mix with your moisturizer or serum for a tailored result that washes off easily.
The instant glow reset
The new Intense Peeling Mask by Payot ticks every box for a quick glow boost. With 15% AHA & PHA, it exfoliates, smooths and brightens without irritation. Fresh texture, delicate orange blossom scent: a sensorial moment with visibly clearer, softer skin. Available from March 18 in spas, and from April 1 on Payot’s website.
The Light-Catching Primer
Sometimes you just want a glowy makeup look that reveals plumped, healthy skin. Step one: a great primer. Sisley delivers a 2-in-1 formula with its Phyto-Teint Primer Glow, where light-reflecting pearls blur imperfections and give a luminous finish. Bonus: over time, your skin becomes brighter and visibly plumper.

The Glow-Boosting Mist
Charlotte Tilbury delivers once again with this hydrating face mist packed with hyaluronic acid and anti-pollution protection. One refreshing spritz and your skin is awake and ready for makeup.
The Radiance Crush Serum
Holidermie’s glow serum is an editor’s favorite—tested and approved! With vitamin C for radiance, vitamin E to fight dark spots, and instant hydration, this is your shortcut to plumped, luminous skin. Tip: apply before your moisturizer for that BB skin effect.
The Vegan Collagen We’ve Been Waiting For
