Lab Series
Lab Series was launched in 1987 as the men's skincare arm of Estee Lauder Companies, making it one of the earliest prestige men's skincare brands. The brand develops products specifically formulated for male skin, which is structurally different from female skin -- thicker, oilier, and regularly irritated by shaving. Lab Series uses advanced ingredient technology from Estee Lauder's research labs adapted for men's specific needs.
