"Clean" skin care lines

[cleo29]

Does anyone have one that they love? I tried one, but my skin is reacting poorly. I was also thinking of maybe looking to overseas brands because they have more stringent guidelines on what can be used in skin care products.

Share what you love and what you have hated and why, I love details!


oh, and my skin tends to be dry with the occasional blemish. Some fine lines and age spots too. yay! lol

I love everything I’ve tried from Derma-e - available at Whole Foods. I’ve tried the hydrating day and night cream, and hyaluronic acid serum, and loved them all. Their cleanser and face scrubs are nice as well, but I have other brands I prefer.

Love Drunk Elephant. I think it’s clean? I use the protini moisturizer, c-firma eye cream, and marula oil daily. I alternate the a-passioni retinol cream and Framboos (AHA/BHA) serum a few times a week at night.

I don’t know exactly what “clean” means but I use a combo makeup/skincare product from Ilia called super serum skin tint — it has niacinamide in it and SPF also makes my skin look flawless

I think the Farmacy brand is clean. I have their Honey grail face oil and the Whipped greens foaming facewash- got both in my Boxycharm box but I would definitely repurchase when I finish these. My skin has been so clear the past couple of months and I think its the face oil!

My esthetician has me on Face Reality, which is cruelty free. Not sure what your guidelines are for "clean" brands. I like it so far.

Youth to the people is a favourite for me.

I use sw basics, the cleanser and the cream. Available on Amazon and the company website. My skin was similar to yours, so overall low maintenance. My face is actually soft now with minimal acne still, even though the products are oil based. I can slather the cream moisturizer on in the winter when my skin gets dry without worries of it breaking out. Seriously can't recommend enough.

Less chemicals and more natural ingredients. Since our skin absorbs so much, trying to be more mindful of what I put on my skin.

Just sharing this since "clean" products are typically more expensive. The term clean is unregulated, so there's no guarantee of what you're getting with these products.

Thank you, that was a good read!

Biossance is my favorite. SW Basics has also been great. EWG has a database online called Skin Deep that is very helpful.

I’ve been using Naturium and really like it. I’ve also been interested in Dime Beauty but haven’t tried the products yet.
