YSL Beauty Turns Everyday Skincare into a Fashion Statement with Care Crush

 

YSL Beauty is bringing a distinctly couture-inspired touch to everyday skincare with the launch of the Care Crush Hand & Body Serum-In-Cream — a pocket-sized treatment designed to moisturise, support the skin barrier and double as a covetable fashion accessory.









Inspired by the Maison’s iconic YSL heart, Care Crush arrives in a glossy white, heart-shaped case that feels more like a miniature designer collectible than a conventional tube of hand cream. A matching limited-edition keyring allows it to be attached to a handbag or carried as part of a beauty-on-the-go routine.

Beyond its statement-making appearance, the formula combines the concentrated feel of a serum with the comforting moisture of a lightweight cream. It is created for beauty lovers who want effective hydration without leaving the hands or body feeling heavy, greasy or sticky.


Serum-In-Cream Care for Hands and Body


At the heart of Care Crush is a skincare-focused blend containing 2% niacinamide, Ceramide NP and jasmine flower sourced from Morocco’s Ourika Community Gardens.


Niacinamide is commonly used in skincare to support a smoother and more even-looking complexion, while Ceramide NP helps reinforce the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Jasmine flower brings YSL Beauty’s botanical signature into the formula, connecting the product to the brand’s Ourika Community Gardens in Morocco.

YSL Beauty claims that the formula provides a 96-hour moisture boost, helping dry skin feel softer and more comfortable for longer.


Its airy texture is designed to absorb quickly, making it suitable for reapplication throughout the day. Beyond the hands and body, it can also be applied to areas that frequently become dry, including the cuticles, elbows and knees.


This versatility makes Care Crush particularly practical for busy schedules, travel or air-conditioned environments where the skin may require an additional layer of moisture.


A Fresh, Sophisticated Scent


The sensorial experience extends to its fragrance.


Care Crush opens with a fresh marine accord before revealing green fig leaf, earthy vetiver and soft white florals. The composition is clean and uplifting, adding a subtle scent to the skin without turning the product into an overly intense fragrance treatment.


It gives the everyday ritual of applying hand cream a more polished and luxurious character — one that feels recognisably aligned with YSL Beauty’s bold, modern aesthetic.


Skincare Meets Couture Design


The heart-shaped packaging is central to the product’s appeal.


Finished in glossy white, the compact case transforms a functional skincare essential into something intended to be displayed rather than hidden at the bottom of a handbag.


The accompanying limited-edition keyring further reinforces its accessory-like identity, allowing users to carry the product as part of their personal style.


It is an approach that reflects the increasingly blurred line between beauty and fashion. Instead of treating hand and body care as an entirely practical category, YSL Beauty presents Care Crush as an extension of the wearer’s look.


Final Take


The YSL Beauty Care Crush Hand & Body Serum-In-Cream brings together skincare ingredients, lightweight hydration, fragrance and fashion-forward packaging in one compact product.


Its niacinamide and ceramide-enriched formula is designed to nourish dry areas and support the skin barrier, while the fast-absorbing texture makes it easy to use throughout the day.


Yet its greatest distinction may be the presentation. With its sculptural heart-shaped case and matching keyring, Care Crush turns an everyday moisturising step into a small luxury that can be carried, displayed and enjoyed wherever the day leads.


Price: RM270

Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor Welcomes New Artist in Residence

  Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor has welcomed a new artist in residence ahead of the launch of a new exhibition of artworks, as the iconic 93-year-old luxury hotel in Siem Reap, Cambodia continues to spotlight talented Khmer creatives. Teang Borin, popularly known as ‘DinArt’, is an audacious, self-taught artist whose work captures and exalts the essence of Cambodia’s rich religious and societal heritage. His latest exhibition, inspired by the majesty of Khmer royalty and the distinguished colour palette of the Raffles Royal Doorman, features vivid, brilliant hues often set against a stark backdrop. “The central concept revives the historical tradition of Khmer royalty, specifically focussing on the Royal Guards’ pantaloons. Historically, the colour of a king’s attire would change to correspond with the day of the week—a vibrant, visual reminder of the calendar and its spiritual significance,” said curator Nat Di Maggio of the local Tribe Art Gallery.
