1. Alpha H
Sustainably made on Australia’s Gold Coast, Alpha-H’s reputation for glow-giving skincare has made its way across the globe. It’s founder, Michelle Doherty, set the brand up in her 20s after suffering from chronic acne. The brand counts celebrities like Kylie Minogue among its celeb fan base and a bottle of its best-selling Liquid Gold exfoliator sells every 30 seconds.
2. The Ordinary
The Ordinary changed the game of skincare with results-driven skincare. Crucially, it’s as affordable as it is effective with products starting from £3.90. Proof that you needn’t pay over the odds for formulas that work, the brands transparency when it comes to pricing and ingredients has made it a blue-print for others to follow.
3. First Aid Beauty

First Aid Beauty was created as a solution that provided appealing packaging, without compromising on skin-friendly ingredients.
4. Paula’s Choice
Paula is perhaps the leading oracle when it comes to skin authorities. Those looking to inform themselves will have undoubtedly crossed paths with Beautypedia, her zero-BS skincare review database. She’s the first to call out products that are all talk and no trousers and she’s more than happy to explain which ingredients are worth the hype and why. So, it stands to reason that her own skincare line is meticulously researched and trustworthy.
5. Ole Henriksen
Hollywood’s most cheerful celeb facialist, Ole Henriksen funnelled his feel-good energy into feel-good skincare that everyone could access.

The brainchild of beauty entrepreneur and Into The Gloss founder, Emily Weiss, you have to be doing something right to create a $1.2 billion-dollar business. Her approach? Asking customers what they want (the magic of social media), then giving it to them. Smart. While the cosmetics are debatably the star of the show, the skincare line is thoughtfully formulates, and, let’s face it, shelfie worthy.
7. Drunk Elephant
Drunk Elephant exploded onto the skincare scene and quickly established itself as an Insta-favourite beauty brand.

But, each ingredient is formulated with sensitive skin health in mind, at complexion friendly pHs, in order to be ultra gentle.
8. Ren Clean Skincare
Good for skin, good for the planet, REN’s eco-credentials have helped give it an edge with eco-minded millennials. The brands ethos? “Giving you visible results from skincare that isn’t full of sh…ady ingredients.” We’re into it. And the fact that the brand is making its way through all of its packaging, swapping single-use plastic for recycled ocean plastic, pre-used PCR plastic and other zero waste alternatives.
9. ESPA
