What to expect
You'll arrive at the flagship store and be ushered into a reserved area away from the main shopping floor. The session begins with a brief conversation about your skin concerns and preferences. From there, you'll work through a curated selection of skincare items—cleansers, serums, moisturisers, treatments—applying and testing each in a relaxed, unhurried manner. The guide offers honest feedback on texture, absorption, and suitability. Midway through, champagne and light snacks are served. By the end, you'll have a clear sense of which products genuinely work for you and why.
Good to know
Wear minimal makeup or none to allow proper product testing. The experience is not wheelchair-accessible in all areas; confirm accessibility needs at booking. Pregnant travellers and those with cardiovascular concerns should skip this. Dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free) can be accommodated—note these when booking.
