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.
