I have always been a fan of NUXE products, so a new skincare launch from the French beauty brand was always going to catch my attention. Its latest collection, Prodigieuse® [HYALU] BOOST, is particularly appealing for those days when skin could use a little more hydration, a little more radiance and a routine that feels enjoyable rather than elaborate.
Newly launched in Singapore, the four-product range includes an illuminating concentrate, a brightening serum, a gel-cream moisturiser and a cooling eye stick. There is a playful thread running through the collection, from the pink packaging to the different textures, but each formula has a distinct role. Whether you prefer a subtle rosy sheen or a fresh, dewy finish, here is what the new line-up brings to the bathroom shelf.
Hydration at the heart of the collection
The range centres on hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid, two moisture-focused ingredients with complementary roles. NUXE pairs low molecular weight hyaluronic acid with high molecular weight polyglutamic acid in its facial formulas. The combination is designed to hydrate, help retain moisture and leave skin looking smoother and plumper.
Texture is also part of the appeal. The collection moves from lightweight, light-reflecting formulas to a fresh gel-cream, with notes of lychee, jasmine and musk adding a fragrant touch to the facial products. The eye stick takes a different approach with a fragrance-free formula and a cooling sensation.
The Illuminating Concentrate for a customisable rosy glow
There is something appealing about a product that gives you options. The Illuminating Concentrate sits between skincare and a finishing touch, combining a hydrating serum formula with natural-origin pink pearly particles. You can apply it all over as a serum, mix a few drops into moisturiser or tap it onto the high points of the face as a highlighter. That flexibility makes it an interesting option for anyone who likes a little radiance without adding several steps to their routine.
The lightweight formula is designed to provide eight-hour hydration while helping skin look plumper. Its pearly finish adds an immediate rosy sheen, giving it a different role from a purely hydrating serum.
Price: S$63.90 for 30ml
The Anti-Dark Spot Glow Serum for a brighter-looking complexion
If uneven tone is higher on your skincare wish list, The Anti-Dark Spot Glow Serum takes a more targeted approach. Alongside the hydrating duo, it contains 5% stabilised vitamin C and ginseng ferment, with a formula designed to help reduce the appearance of dark spots and support a brighter, more even-looking complexion. Its lightweight texture promises a smooth, glass-skin finish, while eight-hour hydration adds to its everyday appeal.
NUXE’s reported results include a 23% reduction in the appearance of dark spots and a 29% reduction in their intensity after two months. These are brand-reported findings, so they offer an indication of the intended benefits rather than a guarantee of individual results.

The Smoothing Glow Gel-Cream for a fresh moisturising step
For those who gravitate towards lighter moisturisers, The Smoothing Glow Gel-Cream is designed for normal to combination skin. It combines the hydrating duo with ginseng ferment to help smooth the appearance of skin texture, support the skin barrier and boost radiance. The fresh, melting texture sounds particularly appealing for anyone who enjoys a moisturising step with a lighter feel.
The formula offers eight-hour hydration. In NUXE’s user assessments after seven days, 90% reported improved radiance, while 87% reported smoother and plumper skin. Within the collection, this is the straightforward daily moisturiser: a step to follow your chosen serum and bring the routine together.
Price: S$61.90 for 50ml
The Reviving Eye Stick adds a cooling touch
The product that stands out for its format is The Reviving Eye Stick, a swipe-on treatment designed to refresh the appearance of tired eyes. Its fragrance-free formula combines 1% caffeine with natural-origin, low molecular weight hyaluronic acid to hydrate the eye contour and help reduce the look of puffiness. The stick delivers what NUXE describes as an “ice-cube effect”, with a cooling sensation on contact.
For early starts or mornings after a late night, that refreshing application could be part of the appeal. The compact format also makes it a convenient addition to a skincare pouch. In NUXE’s user assessments, 93% reported feeling refreshed immediately after application, while 90% reported a smoother eye contour after one month.
Price: S$48.90 for 8.5g
A routine with room for personal preference
What appeals to me about this launch is the flexibility. The Illuminating Concentrate offers a pearly glow, the Anti-Dark Spot Glow Serum focuses on uneven tone, the Gel-Cream provides a daily moisturising step and the Eye Stick adds a cooling finish. There is room to choose a product around what you want from your routine, whether that is hydration, a little luminosity or a fresher-looking eye area. For a long-time NUXE fan, it is an inviting new collection to explore.
The NUXE Prodigieuse® [HYALU] BOOST range is available exclusively at Guardian in Singapore, with prices from S48.90 to S63.90.
