Nestlé knows that consumers are in search of the fountain of youth. So it has extended its “Day & Night” series to include a special two-pack, consisting of one 225-milliliter “Night” drink in a Vitalizing Mixed Berry flavor and one 225-milliliter “Day” drink in a Brightening Grapefruit flavor. The formulation contains less than 0.3 percent fat and may help to maintain skin elasticity and moisture thanks to added collagen ingredients. What makes this day-night regimen truly unique is that it provides different flavors and packaging depending according to when the product should be consumed. This is a concept that has only been seen only in skincare until now. One pack costs $2.18.
