Estée Lauder introduces limited-edition skincare collection amid strategic innovations

USA-Estée Lauder, a global leader in luxury beauty, has unveiled a limited-edition skincare collection, showcasing its commitment to innovation and elegance. 

This exclusive collection features three curated routines: the Hydrating Routine, Radiance Routine, and Firming and Lifting Routine. 

Each set includes advanced skincare products, such as the iconic Advanced Night Repair Serum, Resilience Multi-Effect Moisturizer, and Revitalizing Supreme+ Youth Power Creme, tailored to meet diverse skincare needs. 

According to the company, the collection is available at department store counters and online, offering consumers a luxurious skincare experience.

This launch aligns with Estée Lauder’s broader strategy to innovate and expand its product offerings. 

Recently, the company announced a collaboration with Serpin Pharma, Inc. to explore the potential applications of its anti-inflammatory research in cosmetics.

This collaboration aims to revolutionize skin care by delivering longevity benefits to consumers worldwide.

Serpin Pharma has discovered a crucial segment of the SERPIN (Serine Protease Inhibitor) protein superfamily that boosts the body’s natural ability to repair cells affected by inflammation.

The two companies are exploring how this technology can be utilised in the cosmetics industry to reduce visible signs of aging and skin irritation effectively.

This partnership highlights Estée Lauder’s dedication to cutting-edge research and its mission to redefine beauty through science.

In addition to product innovation, the company has been undergoing organizational changes. 

Early in the year, Michael Bowes was appointed by the company as Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer, effective April 1, 2025.

Bowes would report directly to President and CEO Stéphane de La Faverie after this appointment.

He will drive the organisation forward by focusing on continuous culture building and overseeing all areas of Global Human Resources, including talent management, career development and organisational design.

Michael Bowes will succeed Michael O’Hare, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, who announced his retirement and will resign on April 1, 2025. 

He will work closely with Michael O’Hare over the coming months to ensure a seamless transition.
