I tested 5 new Sephora launches for the new season and this BB milk changes everything
Reclaiming a fresh complexion after summer while streamlining your beauty bag: that’s exactly what five new arrivals at Sephora are promising this season. From hybrid skincare to healthy-glow makeup and express routines, these products address very real, everyday needs.
Skincare that does more than one thing at once
Back-to-routine season often means hectic mornings. That’s where the Erborian Triple Care BB Milk really earns its place. This 3-in-1 treatment combines the functions of a concentrated serum, a moisturiser and a makeup primer in a single step. Its formula boasts more than 20% active ingredients, including Korean ginseng and rice peptides, for skin that feels suppler and more radiant from the moment you wake up.
Unlike a classic BB cream, this product is not tinted. Its focus is skin quality, that bouncy, plumped effect so many of us try to hold onto after the holidays. Apply it, then go straight in with SPF and makeup. The result: several routine steps condensed into one.
In a different register, the Biodance Collagen Peptide Jelly Serum Mist fits just as naturally into a morning routine as it does into mid-day touch-ups. This Korean mist, sitting somewhere between a serum and a refreshing spritz, contains 77% low-molecular-weight collagen water, a collagen extract and a complex of ten peptides. It targets hydration, radiance and that glass skin effect that has become the hallmark of Korean routines. Its main advantage: it can be sprayed throughout the day, even over makeup, without having to start from scratch.
Your summer glow, extended the smart way
September doesn’t have to mean saying goodbye to your tan. The Summer Fridays Bronzer Butter Balm offers a balm texture that melts into the skin and can be built up or kept sheer with ease. A few light touches warm up the complexion, while a more precise application lets you sculpt and define the face.
Its luminous finish stays natural, with no glitter. The formula combines shea butter, mango seed butter and illipe butter for long-lasting comfort on the skin. The product comes in six shades, from Sand to Sienna, making it easy to match to different skin tones.
The express steps Sephora has for tired mornings
When the nights get shorter and your complexion starts to show it, the treatment discs from Sephora Collection offer a quick fix. These gel discs, made in Korea, are composed of 98% naturally derived ingredients. Two versions are available: Soothing, with oat extract, and Radiance, with mandarin extract.
Their versatility is a genuine plus. They can be used like a classic toner, swept across the face, or left on targeted areas for ten minutes as an express mask. That dual use makes them particularly well suited to mornings when time is short.
- Erborian Triple Care BB Milk: serum, moisturiser and primer in one step, with more than 20% active ingredients

Brows and finishing touches: the Sephora newcomers that last all day
The arrival of REFY at Sephora is one of the launches to watch this season. Its Brow Sculpt is a clear wax-gel designed to lift, sculpt and set the brows. The texture stays flexible: it works equally well for taming unruly hairs day to day and for creating that lifted, almost laminated brow look that has become the brand’s signature.
The formula includes carnauba and candelilla waxes, provitamin B5 and glycerin. The brand claims a hold of up to 12 hours, with resistance to water and sweat. For a result that lasts from morning to night without a single touch-up, it’s one of the most practical products in this edit.
Taken together, these five products cover complementary needs: foundational skincare, instant radiance, a lasting healthy glow and long-wear hold. Each one answers a specific back-to-routine challenge, which makes this Sephora selection a particularly coherent way to get back into the swing of things without weighing down your routine.
