A sensorial afternoon that asks: what if your skincare could make you feel stronger?
“Experience the power of Merveillance LIFT in an exclusive afternoon of sensorial pleasure, revealing skin that is as strong as you are.” That was the invite. And maybe because life’s been a little bleak lately, this message from Nuxe felt like it was speaking directly to me.
Nuxe isn’t just about looking good; it’s about radiating strength—from the inside out and the outside in. Their celebration of 10 years in the Philippines, combined with the launch of their Merveillance LIFT range, was the perfect reminder that beauty isn’t just skin deep. It’s about bouncebackability—and yes, that is a word (don’t believe me? Look it up!), and yes, it’s key here.
Held on November 14, 2025 at Rustan’s Makati’s Beauty Courtyard, Nuxe’s intimate in-store event was more than just a product showcase; it was a sensory experience that blended science, nature, and wellness. Osteopath Filb Tan? He blew my mind. Without me saying a word, he was able to pinpoint old, underlying health conditions—just by massaging my hands and reading their pathways. The guy’s basically a human body map, with a keen sense of compassion and sensitivity. And then, his wife, gua sha guru Trish Tan, showed us how self-care goes way beyond surface-level skincare. It’s about feeling good in your own body.
When you feel good, you look good. And when you look good, you feel good—it’s a loop. Nuxe understands this. They get that beauty is about how you feel as much as it is about how you look.
Now, about the Merveillance LIFT range. Nuxe is one of those rare brands that marries innovation with indulgence, blending the power of nature with the precision of science. The Merveillance LIFT collection is their next-level answer to anti-aging. Powered by chlorella vulgaris—an ancient algae with the regenerative power of 4 billion active cells per drop—it fortifies the skin’s foundation, smoothing wrinkles and restoring firmness. Their Firming Activating Oil-Serum? It deserves to be in the holy grail of skincare. Three drops, and you’ll start feeling the difference: firmer, stronger skin that feels as powerful as you are. It’s not just about looking younger; it’s about strengthening your skin from the inside out.
In an age of superficial fixes and quick results, Nuxe offers a way to truly bounce back—physically, mentally, and emotionally. So here’s to a brand that’s been helping us feel strong and radiant for a decade, locally, but for over three decades, globally. Beauty isn’t just skin deep. It’s about strength, inside and out.
How Nuxe got here: a decade of everyday luxury
What the event underscored—beyond my brief existential moment with an osteopath—is how deeply Nuxe has embedded itself into the Philippine beauty landscape. Ten years may not sound like a long time, but in an industry that tosses out “new,” “next,” and “innovation” every five minutes, longevity means trust. Nuxe built that trust through textures you actually want on your skin, formulas that lean clean yet substantive, and products that feel like a small daily reward.
From the iconic Huile Prodigieuse to its expanding lines of targeted treatments, the brand has carved a space where indulgence doesn’t feel frivolous. It feels earned.
The science-meets-nature anti-aging moment we’re in
Merveillance LIFT sits exactly at that intersection: indulgent but backed by real clinical substance. The star ingredient—chlorella vulgaris—sounds like something your nerdy high school lab partner would swoon over, but it’s essentially a botanical tank. This ancient algae is celebrated for extraordinary regenerative power, and in Nuxe’s hands, its active potential turns into a high-performance treatment capable of fortifying the skin’s dermal-epidermal junction. That’s the structural foundation of youthful skin, the anchor point that determines firmness, lift, and resilience.
Translation: it doesn’t just make your skin look better. It helps your skin be better.
And that’s the key difference. Nuxe isn’t here for a quick illusion. They’re here to rebuild.
Meet the range that’s redefining firmness
The four-piece Merveillance LIFT lineup isn’t designed as a “buy everything and pray” routine. It’s curated, straightforward, and meant to adapt to real lives—morning, night, rushed, rested, whatever season you’re in. This is where resilience meets ritual, resulting in radiance.
Firming Powdery Cream
A filling-texture cream that instantly smooths and lifts while leaving a soft-focus finish. Think of it as the skin version of good lighting. Ideal for normal to combination skin.
Firming Activating Oil-Serum
The headliner. A 100% active texture with clinically proven results, including +32% firmness in a month. It delivers that immediate glide-and-glow payoff, but its true magic is cumulative. The more you use it, the stronger your skin gets.
Lift Eye Cream
Lightweight but potent, this blur-effect formula tackles wrinkles, puffiness, and fatigue. With continued use, the eye contour looks more lifted and awake—like you got your eight hours, even when you didn’t.
Concentrated Night Cream
The overnight heavy-hitter that makes it feel like you gained two bonus hours of sleep. You wake up looking smoother, brighter, and like maybe life isn’t as exhausting as it was yesterday.
A decade deserves a celebration (and yes, there were deals)
Nuxe marked the milestone with one-day exclusives: up to 40% off on all items, 50% off on Huile Prodigieuse, and tiered gifts with purchase—from a candle to a travel kit stacked with minis. It was a love letter to loyalists and an open invitation to the curious.
But beyond the offers, what really lingered was the mood: gentle, grounding, and quietly empowering. A reminder that “strong skin” isn’t a vanity metric—it’s a metaphor.
The moment it all clicks
If you’ve ever needed skincare that doesn’t just promise glow but offers resilience, Merveillance LIFT is that line. Moreover, it’s a routine that builds confidence in how you look, helping you feel stronger every day. And in that moment of confidence, you reconnect with your own strength.
Because sometimes, self-care isn’t an escape. It’s reinforcement.
