“I started Reale Actives after years of struggling with acne and trying products that either did not work or were too harsh for my sensitive skin,” said Earle, who recently placed second on ABC’s reality television show Dancing With The Stars.

“I was constantly confused about what routine was actually right for me, and so many products felt overly clinical, complicated and honestly not very fun. Working closely with my dermatologist, we created a streamlined routine of clinically proven formulas that transformed my skin and my confidence. After dealing with cystic acne my whole life, I learned that consistency and a gentle approach are what finally helped me get it under control. These products keep my skin balanced through long days of filming, travel and heavy make-up. My hope is that Reale Actives helps people feel confident enough to live their lives fully – because your skin should not be the thing that holds you back,” she says.

The vegan formulas launching in Reale Actives first drop are: Get Bare Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm, Pore Power Exfoliating HA + BHA Gel Cleanser, Go Deep Mandelic Acid Serum and Derm More Barrier Boosting Moisturizer.

“Despite affecting millions of people, the acne skin care category has remained surprisingly outdated – often overly aggressive, unnecessarily complicated, and, honestly, a little joyless,” said Andrea Blieden, CEO of Reale Actives. “Alix has spent years openly sharing her acne journey with her followers, which makes her one of the most authentic voices in this space. With Reale Actives, we set out to create dermatologist-developed formulations, clinically validated ingredients and a streamlined routine that actually works with the chaos of real life. Ultimately, we are building a brand that delivers serious clinical results while reminding people that acne does not define them – and it cannot dim their spark.”

The non-comedogenic line ranges from $28 to $39 and boasts travel-friendly packaging.

A daring new chapter of the iconic euphoria franchise, euphoria elixirs are a sensorial exploration of confidence, pleasure and sensuality. Embodied by global icon and Calvin Klein ambassador ROSALÍA, the campaign fuses movement and vivid color into a captivating exploration of freedom without limits. Known for her genre-defying sound and commanding visual artistry, ROSALÍA channels the fragrances’ modern femininity into an immersive journey that reflects the energy and individuality of the three distinctive scents.

“The euphoria elixirs are full of energy, possibility of expression and versatility!” said ROSALÍA. “Each of the three scents represents its own mood, but the vanilla notes (which I love) run through all of them, giving a warm and familiar feeling on the skin. This reunion with Calvin Klein has been a dream – I love working with teams that are as inspiring and hardworking as them!”

euphoria elixirs introduce premium, ultra-concentrations that celebrate the versatility of their key ingredient, vanilla – soft yet strong, sweet yet seductive. Richly layered and modern in spirit, the assortment takes shape through three vibrant, emotive interpretations: magnetic elixir, bold elixir and solar elixir.

The euphoria elixir collection:

Expressive. Radiant. Confident.

This collection explores vanilla—the fruit of the orchid, euphoria’s signature flower—through its full evolution from its fresh, green beginnings (solar elixir) to its vibrant ripeness (magnetic elixir), and finally to its sun-kissed, dried, and toasted warmth (bold elixir). Each scent pairs a distinct vanilla facet with a complementary note to define a clear mood: solar elixir fuses vanilla with mango for a bright, luminously joyful energy; magnetic elixir layers vanilla with musk for a soft, intimately romantic warmth; and bold elixir contrasts vanilla with oakwood for a deeper, more intense impression.

Co-created with master perfumers from some of the world’s most esteemed fragrance houses, all three scents are parfum intense with 28% or more ultra-concentration – the highest fragrance concentration for Calvin Klein Fragrances.

magnetic elixir (musky vanilla)

magnetic elixir captures the irresistible pull of effortless confidence and sensuality. Anchored by Dancing Lady Orchid, ambrette absolute and an indulgent musky vanilla blend, this rich, sweet fragrance has a seductive charm and lingers like a warm touch.

Perfumer: Caroline Dumur

Fragrance House: IFF

bold elixir (oakwood vanilla)

bold elixir is sensual, woody and addictive, channeling the intensity and rich depth of toasted vanilla. This warmth is contrasted by the unexpected presence of smoky orchid, rich oakwood and jasmine absolute. The result is a daring scent, exuding unapologetic confidence.

Perfumers: Carlos Benaim, Domitille Michalon, Caroline Dumur

Fragrance House: IFF

solar elixir (mango vanilla)

solar elixir is a radiant expression of joy – pure, luminous and full of life. Inspired by the blooming vanilla flower in its rare green and fruity stage, the fragrance is brightened by the warm glow of Golden Orchid and juicy mango. This elixir radiates with vibrant energy, evoking the sensation of skin warmed by the sun.

Perfumer: Nicolas Bonneville

Fragrance House: dsm-firmenich

The Packaging:

The original euphoria bottle remains a timeless, sculptural icon. For the new elixirs, this classic design has been reinvented through color – vivid hues of magnetic pink, bold purple and solar yellow reflect youthful energy and individuality. The

signature cap has also been infused with monochromatic color for a striking visual parallel to the intense juice.

The Campaign:

Following her Calvin Klein underwear debut in September 2025, ROSALÍA now stars in the Calvin Klein Fragrances campaign for euphoria elixirs, shot by Carlijn Jacobs. Across the visuals, ROSALÍA amplifies the spirit of euphoria – feminine, sensual and confident – through her unique ability to evoke emotion through movement and performance. Set in a surreal, sensorial world, ROSALÍA embodies each elixir’s distinct attitude across magnetic, bold and solar universes as unlimited possibilities of self-expression and freedom come to life.

Calvin Klein euphoria elixirs will be available at Macy’s, Ulta and Amazon beginning March 1st, 2026

euphoria elixir 100ml $ 129.00

euphoria elixir 50ml $ 99.00

euphoria elixir 30ml $ 79.00

euphoria elixir 10ml $ 36.00

After five years of research and development and with the backing of more than 350 dermatologist advisors, Elm Biosciences has officially launched, setting a new standard in skincare innovation, first by redefining the role of antioxidant treatments in modern skincare. Co-founded by cultural icon Martha Stewart and board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali, Elm advances science with a dual-pathway system designed to treat the internal and external drivers of aging, simplifying daily beauty routines while delivering powerful, clinically-tested results. The brand launches with two products:

A3O Elemental Serum (SRP $135) — A first-of-its-kind, patent-pending antioxidant serum

powered by the A3O Complex, a triple-pathway antisenescent molecule engineered to

target visible signs of aging, including UV damage, pigmentation, dehydration, and irritation,

while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin. The serum delivers transformative results

through a single, intelligently developed formula.

Inner Dose Daily Skin Supplement (SRP $50) — A dermatologist-formulated capsule that

addresses internal triggers of aging like inflammation, oxidative stress, and hormonal

imbalance, strengthening the skins foundation from within*

Together, they form a streamlined system focused on restoring appearance, enhancing the skin

barrier integrity, and improving resilience.

Elm Biosciences is a clinically advanced skincare brand built on breakthrough science co-founded

by cultural icon Martha Stewart and board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali. Their

lab-to-patient model accelerates the path from clinical research to real-world results, making

next-generation technologies accessible to consumers for the first time. Backed by an advisory

board of more than 350 dermatologists, scientists, and medical researchers, Elm is redefining what’s

possible in skincare—delivering potent, results-driven formulas that rival in-office treatments.

Martha Stewart, whose influence has shaped the lifestyle, beauty, and wellness spaces for decades,

has been a long-time patient of Dr. Bhanusali and partnered with him during the early development

of his biotech platform. Quietly, she began testing the prototypes—and never stopped. For five years,

these formulas became part of her daily routine, long before a brand or product name existed.

Stewart is also an investor in the company, bringing her trusted voice and deep industry insight to

the partnership.

Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali is a board-certified dermatologist, laser surgeon, and biotech entrepreneur

widely recognized as one of the most influential dermatologists in the industry. He has helped create

breakout brands like Rhode (acquired for $1B) and Skin Medicinals, the largest pharmatech platformin

dermatology, and is known for pioneering the integration of molecular dermatology with real-world

product application.

Elm Biosciences products are available for purchase exclusively at elmbiosciences.com and via

select dermatology and medical offices nationwide.
