My opinion on skincare brands (MASTERPOST)
Updated. Send me brands you want to be added!
Obviously these are MY opinions, others may differ. I am not a dermatologist I’m just a skincare obsessed individual who’s spent a lot of time researching products and a lot of money on products. I hope this helps you all!
Neutrogena: meh. Your acne products are a big no no.
St Ives: No. No. No.
Dr organics: I have loved every product I have tried from them.
Faith in Nature: I like that it’s vegan, cruelty free etc. but the products don’t deliver.
Lush: Some really great products, especially for dry skin and for acne prone people. However they do include alcohol and fragrance in a lot of their products so if you’re sensitive to that be careful.
The body shop: Some great quality products but often over priced.
Innisfree: Not used them or even heard of them but I researched them and they look great! Good ingredients.
Lunik: Apparently they’re new and I tried researching but found nothing on them sorry.
Pixi: I’m in love with this brand. I recommend it to every one. Every skin type.
Nip n fab: A lot of good products, do check the ingredients though for things that may be an irritant to your skin. But overall I like them.
Liz Earl: Its ok. It’s not going to necessarily mess up your skin but I doubt their products will fix any of your skin problems.
Sukin: Some good products. They’re a good choice for sensitive skin types as they have minimal ingredients.
First aid beauty: Some really effective products.
Clinique: Super basic. Not ideal for any skin with issues.
The Ordinary: Amazing. Great products at great prices.
Origins: Eh, they’re not awful but I don’t really like them.
Ole Hendrickson: Lots of hype, very popular but a bit pricy.
Glossier: Love their style and the look the products creates but for the basic ingredients they are over priced and not high quality.
Estée Lauder: Way overpriced.
Cetaphil: Really nice basic products for all skin types, unless you have a sensitivity to fatty alcohols.
Burts Bees: Nice idea, bad ingredients for acne prone/oily people. But lovely hand creams.
Aveeno: Heard lots of good things, especially for dry skin and body care.
Philosophy: Utter shit.
Nivea: Some good products, especially for dry skin.
CerVe: Excellent. For most.
La Roche posay: I am in love. I recommend them to everyone, especially acne suffers.
Clean and clear: Often way too harsh to skin and causes more problems.
Palmers: Nice body care.
Juice beauty: Good face masks.
Biore: Overall okay, but some shocking products, like the nose strips.
Drunk elephant: I know they’re pricy but I’ve heard great things.
Proactiv: Will fuck your skin up.
Cosrx: Really good. Very nice gentle products. Good for all skin types. A brand that actually understands PH levels.
Physiogel: Will moisturise you within an inch of your life.
Nature Republic: ehhhhh, I’m not gonna purchase their products. Just not great.
Laniege: Their main ingredients are water. The same water you get free from a tap. They are robbing you of your money. And their products will have no real impact on your skin.
IUnik: Looks like some lovely quality skincare
Boots botanicals: Not good. A lot of alcohol. If you’re super duper oily they may seem to help but the alcohol is going to be stripping.
L'Oréal: Very overpriced. Fragrances and very rich and heavy products.
Skinfood: Some great ingredients but some may be too rich for oily skin types.
Philosophy: Luxury high end indulgent body and bath care but don’t put their stuff near your face.
Ponds: Goooood stuff for that moisture.
Clarins: Too much money.
Avon: fuck no.
Dove: Good for body and sensitive skin.
Glamglow: Certain products are raved about. Go for the masks.
Dr Bronners: Yes yes yes to all products.
Kiehl’s: Good stuff but veeeery expensive stuff. You can get the equivalent from The Ordinary for a fraction of the price.
