Minimalist beauty brand Merit is bringing its less-is-more ethos to skincare with the launch of the Great Skin Double Cleanser. Designed to do the most while feeling like the bare minimum, this bi-phase foaming formula effortlessly lifts away sunscreen, makeup and daily grime without stripping your skin’s natural barrier. Powered by an oat-derived surfactant and a lightweight blend of emollients, it also features a gentle hit of gluconolactone (a skin-smoothing polyhydroxy acid) and a fermentation extract that mimics the benefits of clay, leaving your complexion softer, fresher, and noticeably more radiant. Consider it your go-to cleanse for entering a new season.

#Perfumetok regulars will recognize Emma of @Perfumerism as the unofficial face of milk-scented perfumes—but this month, the Canadian fragrance expert further solidified her position as a milk perfume extraordinaire with the launch of a lactonic new perfume collaboration. Made in partnership with Commodity, Milk Orchid is the influencer’s “dream take” on the brand’s signature Milk scent.

Elevated with notes of fig milk, vanilla orchid and magnolia, it finds a delicate balance between floral and gourmand notes. “After going viral with my review of Milk Expressive and creating an entire series dedicated to milk fragrances, I knew I had to make my own. That’s when I reached out to Commodity. I described my dream milk scent—something irresistibly fluffy and creamy—and now I can’t believe it’s a reality,” says Emma in a press statement. Head to the Sephora app on August 31 for early access to shopping this creamy scent.
