CeraVe
CeraVe is a cult US skincare brand that people would bulk-buy on every trip Stateside thanks to its fragrance-free, non-irritating, non-greasy formulas developed with dermatologists. The brand, which has face creams and washes designed for every skin type, is packed with three essential ceramides that help protect your skin’s natural barrier, hyaluronic acid for all-day hydration and a clever patented delivery technology to ensure controlled ingredient release throughout the whole day. The brand has amassed a cult following among people with skin prone to eczema and psoriasis.
Neutrogena
As the number 1 dermatologist-recommended skincare brand in the world, it’s little surprise that Neutrogena made the list. The celebrity-endorsed skincare brand has hundreds of products from acne-busting face wash to oily-skin moisturisers and most of their offering costs less than £15.
Clinique
Clinque was launched in 1968 after a beauty editor asked a leading dermatologist “Can great skin be created?”. It has gone on to become a skincare staple in so many women’s regimes; did anyone else use the brand’s iconic soap as their first-ever face wash? The brand is allergy-tested and 100% fragrance-free, making it ideal for sensitive skin. The brand’s most popular product, Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+, is sold every five seconds globally.
Glossier
With its hardworking, purse-friendly, Insta-worthy products, we’re not at all surprised to see Glossier on the list.
The iconic beauty brand was created by beauty editor, Emily Weiss, in the US in 2014, and then in the UK. It’s safe to safe that Glossier has since cemented its status as the Gen-Z beauty brand of dreams.
The brow grooming pomade, Boy Brow, is the brand’s number one best-seller, but Glossier’s first fragrance ‘You’ was also a big hit, winning ‘Fragrance of the Year 2018’ as awarded by The Fragrance Foundation.
Cetaphil
As anyone with sensitive skin will know, Cetaphil is specifically-formulated to provide effective skincare for a variety of skin types and conditions. In the US, it’s the number 1 Dermatologist Recommended Facial Skincare Brand, which is pretty major.
The brand has called on medical experts to provide skincare solutions for every single skin type. Acne-prone skin? Cetaphil’s cleanser is the perfect route to squeaky-clean skin, trust us.
