The Celebrity Skincare Products Actually Worth Buying, From Hailey Bieber to Miranda Kerr
From Rhode's Glazing Milk to Dua Lipa's DUA serum, here are the celebrity-loved skincare products actually worth buying.
Celebrity skincare used to mean a familiar face and not much else behind it. That’s no longer the case. The brands actually worth paying attention to now are built with real facialists, dermatologists, and years of formula testing behind them, and a handful of specific products have earned genuine reputations independent of who’s fronting the brand. Here are the celebrity skincare products worth incorporating into your skincare routine.
Rhode’s Glazing Milk

Hailey Bieber’s Rhode launched in June 2022 with just three products, and Glazing Milk has since become the line’s most popular item, the foundational first step in the brand’s entire skincare philosophy. The nutrient-rich, milky formula is built around a ceramide trio, a mineral complex of magnesium, zinc, and copper, and vitamin E, designed to prep skin, boost the moisture barrier, and calm redness before any other product goes on. It’s meant to be layered underneath Peptide Glazing Fluid and Barrier Restore Cream, part of Rhode’s broader hydration-first philosophy that helped the brand generate $212 million in net sales within its first year and led to a $1 billion acquisition by e.l.f. Beauty.
Barriers’ The Day Cream

Co-founded by Carmen Montero Mundt and Óscar Valls Bartolomé, Barriers launched with a philosophy that runs counter to most of the skincare industry’s instincts, treating skin as a living system to support rather than a problem to correct. The brand’s three-product debut centers on two pillars, the skin barrier and the microbiome, and the postbiotic serum sits at the center of that approach, formulated specifically to help restore the skin’s natural equilibrium rather than aggressively intervene on it. Montero Mundt personally introduced the brand to the U.S. during Miami’s Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend, a launch moment that matched the brand’s own quietly confident positioning.
Reale Actives’ Go Calm 10% Azelaic Acid Anti-Redness Calming Serum

Alix Earle launched Reale Actives in March 2026 after years of publicly documenting her own struggles with hormonal, cystic acne, developing the four-product line alongside New York dermatologist Dr. Kiran Mian specifically to make acne care feel less clinical and complicated. Every hero product sold out within 10 hours of launch, but the Go Deep 8% Mandelic Acid Serum Concentrate is the one Earle herself has singled out as her personal favorite, telling Cosmopolitan that mandelic acid was one of the few ingredients that actually worked for her skin during years of trial and error. Reviewers have echoed that pick, calling the serum, alongside the brand’s cleansing balm, the standout of the lineup for acne-prone, sensitive skin.
DUA’s Supercharged Glow Complex

Dua Lipa spent over three years developing her namesake skincare line with Augustinus Bader, the luxury brand already beloved by the likes of Kim Kardashian, Margot Robbie, and Victoria Beckham for its patented Trigger Factor Complex technology, originally developed for treating severe burn patients. Rather than simply license the brand’s existing formulas, the collaboration produced an entirely new complex, TFC5, reworked with reduced signaling intensity and tailored specifically to younger skin between 18 and 35. Within the three-product routine, the Supercharged Glow Complex serum stands out as the collection’s core treatment step, combining TFC5 with biomimetic peptides, moisture-enhancing proteins, and protective antioxidants to address blemishes, acne scars, and early pigmentation, at a meaningfully lower price point than Augustinus Bader’s signature line.
KORA Organics’ Noni Glow Face Oil

Miranda Kerr founded KORA Organics in 2009, inspired in part by her mother’s health diagnosis, and built the brand around certified organic, toxin-free formulas developed with microbiologists and organic chemists rather than a quick celebrity licensing deal. The Noni Glow Face Oil was one of the very first products Kerr created for the line, and remains its best-selling item by a wide margin. Kerr herself has called it “liquid gold,” an all-in-one treatment oil blending certified organic noni extract with rosehip, pomegranate, and sea buckthorn oils to nourish skin, brighten tone, and support the skin barrier. “I’m never without it,” she’s said, and independent reviewers consistently single it out as the brand’s strongest, most essential product.

Go Calm is the fifth product from Alix Earle's Reale Actives, a $39 serum built around 10% azelaic acid, niacinamide, and betaine, launched September 22, 2026, and formulated to reduce redness, support hydration, and improve overall skin clarity. Barriers is a skincare brand co-founded by Carmen Montero Mundt and Óscar Valls Bartolomé, built around a biology-first philosophy focused on the skin barrier and microbiome, with The Day Cream serving as the final step in its three-product launch routine. DUA is Dua Lipa's skincare collaboration with Augustinus Bader, built around TFC5, a new, lower-intensity version of the brand's signature TFC8 technology tailored specifically to younger skin between 18 and 35, at a lower price point than Augustinus Bader's core products. The Noni Glow Face Oil, one of the first products Miranda Kerr created for KORA Organics in 2009, remains the brand's best-selling item, an organic blend of noni extract, rosehip, pomegranate, and sea buckthorn oils that Kerr has called "liquid gold."Frequently Asked Questions
