Editors' Picks: New launches from Medik8, Saltair, Paula's Choice and more...

Here are the top beauty launch picks of the week from TheIndustry.beauty team.

Exo-PDRN Prismatic+, Medik8

I do love Medik8, so any new launches from the brand are always going to pique my interest. Pair that with an ingredient that’s currently dominating the skincare scene, and this latest release becomes especially intriguing.

Enter: the Exo-PDRN Prismatic+ Serum (£79). Described by the British skincare brand as being engineered around skin biology, this latest launch combines a PDRN-based structure with an exosome complex.

The formulation is designed to support skin renewal and overall skin quality, with claims including improved appearance of fine lines, enhanced firmness, increased luminosity and a more refined skin texture.

Medik8 highlights several key components within the formula, including “Prismatic PDRN” - a vegan-derived form of PDRN developed for improved stability and absorption. It also features a Triple Exosome Complex, intended to support skin signalling processes, alongside GF MiniProtein, which is designed to help improve the appearance of skin structure over time.

Blush Stylus, Victoria Beckham Beauty

I know I’m not the only one who does exactly what Victoria Beckham says when it comes to make-up. She is the modern-day beauty oracle. If Beckham says it’s better to use a slim blush stylus than a big chubby stick, then I’m going to do it. To be fair this approach makes sense, since blush placement can be so transformative (particularly for the more mature of face like me!).

These new Blush Stylus sticks are the best tools for precision blush placement, and they play nicely with the brand’s existing Contour Stylus sticks for a polished and defined face. You can invest in the No. 12 Buffer Brush if you want to get truly pro with these, but I’m blending with my fingers and dabbing the colour on my lips too.

But if you want a top tip, let’s hear from Victoria Beckham herself, who says: “Blush is one of the most personal parts of my makeup - where I place it, the shade I use, the intensity I want. With Blush Stylus I like to draw small marks on my cheeks and nose, and blend with my fingers. It’s quick, playful, and always looks completely natural.”

The formula is packed with plant-based lanolin and vitamin E acetate, so you get a treatment as well as a delightful wash of buildable colour. On that note, you can choose from five shades: Fresco, Fiore, Rossa, Sienna and Rubino. Select one for a uniform look or mix and match for a more bespoke look.

Priced at £38, they will be available from Victoria Beckham Beauty from 10 June.

Shimmering Body Oils, Saltair

Saltair has expanded its bodycare range with the launch of three shimmering body oils for summer. Designed as a lightweight alternative to instant tan, the new formulas combine nourishing hydration with light-reflecting pigments to leave skin with a subtle, sun-kissed glow.

Building on the success of the brand’s existing body oils, the new collection delivers non-sticky moisture while enhancing the skin’s natural radiance. Each formula is infused with fermented saururus, kukui, cacay, moringa and squalane, alongside a biomimetic blend of plant-based actives that absorb quickly for a silky, lightweight finish.

The collection is available in three scents: Pink Beach (a warm, tropical blend of coconut, almond blossom and vanilla), Golden Hour (a fruity, sun-drenched scent with notes of sunflower, pineapple and fresh coconut), and Salt Water Vanilla (a balanced mix of creamy vanilla, sandalwood and sea salt for a sweet yet fresh marine finish).

The new launch feels like the perfect addition to any summer bodycare routine - and I’m sure they’ll be ending up in lots of people’s baskets this season. It is available exclusively at Space NK - priced at £28.

The Starting Lineup skincare set, Paula's Choice 

Following the announcement that Paula’s Choice is an official sponsor of the FIFA World Cup 2026/27, the skincare brand has launched a new limited-edition skincare set inspired by high-performance routines and “game-ready” skin.

The Starting Lineup Kit is made up of a curated trio of Paula’s Choice essentials, including its 2% BHA liquid exfoliant, peptide booster moisturiser and daily hydrating fluid SPF 50.

I thought this was a very interesting move by the skincare brand, and it signals the growing crossover between beauty, wellness and sport. I think it shows how consumers today are increasingly expecting more from their skincare while simplifying routines.

The set is designed to keep skin “smooth and protected” and reflects the brand’s wider “Proud Supporter of Your Skin” campaign, which highlights themes such as resilience, endurance and everyday performance.

The set, priced at £29 (worth £46), will be available from 1 June at Paula’s Choice as well as Sephora.
