Welcome back to the AR Beauty Beat, where we cover the must-have beauty and grooming releases of the month. As a fast-paced industry, there are new beauty and grooming releases each week — and the past month has been no exception. However, not all products are created equal. So, to help you differentiate the hits from the misses, we’ve put together the recently released products worthy of your time this month.
Without further ado, here are the 12 best beauty and skincare releases from June 2026 worth trying.
1. Mecca Cosmetica Rich Cream
Mecca Cosmetica has launched the Rich Cream, a ceramide-spiked moisturiser with a balm-like consistency. Designed to comfort dry, sensitive, and irritation-prone skin, ceramide is joined by ectoin and cica which work to lock in hydration and soothe the skin.
Price: $80AUD
2. Go-To Sleep range
Go-To Skincare has launched a dedicated sleep range, with the three-product collection comprising Easy Breezy Magneezy, an ingestible magnesium powder; Things Will Calm Down Now, an aromatherapy room spray; and Night Shift, a nourishing body butter infused with magnesium.
Price: $132AUD (for set of three)
3. Aleph Beauty Remove/Cleanse Balm
Makeup artist-founded beauty brand Aleph Beauty has released its Remove/Cleanse Balm, a balm-to-oil-to-milk cleanser formulated with a slew of nourishing plant oils and butters—among them, acai oil, seabuckthorn fruit oil, babassu oil, marula oil, and murumuru butter—designed to replenish the skin while dissolving makeup, sunscreen, and environmental buildup.
Price: $69AUD
4. Mad Labs Skincare Deep Cleansing Face Wash
Australian men’s skincare brand Mad Labs Skincare comprises a tightly curated trio of a cleanser, exfoliant, and moisturiser. Our pick of the lot is the Deep Cleansing Face Wash, which is formulated with niacinamide, aloe vera, ginseng, and the brand’s fermented complex. Gentle enough to use twice daily while effectively removing daily buildup and grime, it works without stripping the skin of its natural oils and imparts a hydrated, refreshed feeling post-use.
Price: $69AUD
5. Chasin’ Rabbits Butter Grinding Cleansing Balm
K-beauty brand Chasin’ Rabbits has launched an affordable cleansing balm, with the buttery soft formula melting into oil upon contact with the skin before transforming into a milky consistency when water is added. The formula works to remove makeup, sunscreen, and impurities from the skin, leaving behind a moisture barrier against external impurities.
Price: $16AUD
6. Embryolisse Lait Creme Retinol-Like
The makeup artist-approved staple has gotten an upgrade, with French skincare brand Embryolisse adding a gentle active version of its signature Lait Creme into the mix. Embryolisse Lait Creme Retinol-Like is formulated with a vegetal active ingredient designed to mimic the effects of retinol, with big clover extract working to stimulate collagen synthesis while inhibiting the production of metalloproteinas (enzymes that break down collagen). The formula has the same consistency as the original, making it the ideal light moisturiser or base for makeup.
Price: $65AUD
7. Innisfree Retinol Green Tea PDRN Ampoule
PDRN has been dominating the skincare chat of late, with Innisfree launching its own take on the popular ingredient. Sitting within the K-beauty brand’s popular Green Tea range, the Innisfree Retinol Green Tea PDRN Ampoule works to target texture, pores, elasticity and signs of ageing through a regenerative, repair-focused approach. While PDRN is typically extracted from salmon cells, Innisfree’s take on the ingredient comes from a plant-derived component found in green tea grown on Jeju, an island off South Korea.
Price: $61AUD
8. Ole Henriksen Peach Glaze Niacinamide Cleanser
Ole Henriksen has added to its Peach Glaze range, with the Peach Glaze Niacinamide Cleanser, an antioxidant-rich formula enriched with peace juice and niacinamide which work to promote hydration and refine the pores.
Price: $44AUD
9. Merit Clean Volume Mascara
Merit has launched its take on a tubing mascara, with Clean Volume. Viewing the popular formula style through a minimalist lens, Merit Clean Volume uses a slim precision brush with cross-hatched bristles to evenly coat each lash without any clumping. The lightweight formula delivers volume and length without any heaviness, resulting in a defined, impactful look. The formula is available in black and brown.
Price: $44AUD
10. Naturium Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Scrub
Naturium has added a body scrub to its popular Glow Getter range. The Naturium Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Scrub is a lipid-rich formula that combines an blend of coconut, rosehip, seabuckthorn, jojoba, and safflower oils with sugar crystals, squalane, and glycerin to impart intense moisture while sloughing off dead skin cells. It’s suffused with the coconut vanilla scent present throughout the rest of the range.
Price: $30AUD
Launch date: 8th August (via Sephora)
11. Thanks To Nature Cherry Blossom & White Tea Shower Oil

Price: $22AUD
