The skincare investments worth the money

The skincare investments worth the money

You’ll hear us say this a lot: just because a product is expensive, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s any good. In fact, there are plenty of products at the more affordable end of the skincare spectrum that work incredibly well, delivering the exact results you’re after. But that’s also not to say that all expensive skincare is a total waste of money. In fact, there are a handful of pricier skincare investments that we believe are totally worth the money. Want to know which ones our founders personally love? Then keep reading…

“Megan gave me this iconic moisturiser since it made her skin sensitive (yay for me!). I wanted to see if the hype behind the product was real and I was super pleased with its result! I had the light version which was perfect for my skin and felt like it was superior to some of the other moisturisers I have been using. My skin tone and texture got way better than it was. I feel like this is the perfect product to buy if you want to splurge on a luxury skincare product that has all in one: stimulation, protection and hydration.”

Kypris Antioxidant Dew

“I got this serum a while ago on Net-A-Porter and bought it two times! Yes, it is expensive but it lasts for super long thanks to its dropper packaging. I absolutely loved this antioxidant serum as it was creamy but not greasy and extremely light on my skin. It was super easy to layer it with my moisturiser and sunscreen especially during summer. The only reason I stopped using it is because I wanted to trial another antioxidant serum but this one is in my top three for sure!”

SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense

"This serum is an excellent product for those dealing with oiliness or breakout-prone skin. It is extremely potent as it contains both AHA & BHA but it’s so effective. I use it from time to time during the week when my skin feels more congested than usual or I apply the serum only on areas that are prone to breakouts at night. Because I don’t use the product daily (which I wouldn’t recommend to anyone anyway) I still have this product but unfortunately, it’s not a pregnancy-friendly serum so I had to say goodbye!”

Chantecaille Blue Light Protection Hyaluronic Serum

“This HA serum is a new staple in my routine. My skin has been less dry over the past few weeks with the warmer weather and it’s the perfect alternative to my heavier pestle and mortar serum. It’s so lightweight and doesn’t sting my sensitive skin like some hydrating serums can.”

Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm

"This cleanser balm has been for a long time a favorite of mine. It was actually one of first 'luxury' purchases that I made and absolutely loved it. I am very sceptical when it comes to 'natural' products as I like to stick to my cosmeceuticals but this cleanser worked perfectly on my skin. It does provide a full spa experience especially after a long day or a night out and perfectly removes make-up."

The Nue Co The Pill

"I recently converted to probiotics and saw a real difference in my overall health after 4 weeks of taking Symprove. Therefore, it motivated me to look more into topical products as I do believe that in certain cases, topical probiotics can be helpful, especially for those like me that suffer from an underlying skin condition or compromised barrier function. This product in particular has a very interesting formulation mixing AHA, hyaluronic acid and tiger grass which makes this product something stimulating and anti-inflammatory. I haven't tried this product yet but it is definitely on my radar!"
