This Medspa Skincare Brand You’ve Never Heard Of Is Shockingly Good, Especially If You’re Over 40.
by Audie Metcalf
We were introduced to this brand we’ve never heard of, during a recent facial.
We know you’re skeptical. Aestheticians are just trying to sell us crap! They make a commission! It’s a scam!
Yes. True.
Though we’re fine on them selling us stuff and making a commission. They have to make a living too. But here is why aestheticians, specifically independent facialists, are secretly the best way to discover excellent skincare:
The brand they choose has to work for sooo many people with every skin type under the sun. And so, if you have aging but sensitive skin, like us, this is a GREAT way to find effective products.
But the main point of difficulty is this: if they use 14 different things on your face, how do you know what’s what? If you saw your cheeks go brighter or your pores gets smaller, was is the serum? The oil? The mask? Do I really need to buy 14 things now?
And that, friends, is where they getcha.
But we are here today to tell you two secret pieces of information.
A deeply exciting skincare brand we’ve never heard of.
The 4 exact products to try.
The brand is called COSMEDIX.
And once we experienced its magic in person, we started to investigate. We discovered it was founded by nurse practitioners and aestheticians (love this already) who wanted to create effective, luxury skincare while being free of parabens, sulfates, petrolatum, mineral oil, PEGs, hydroquinone, synthetic fragrances and dyes. AND it’s 100% cruelty free. For true clean product seekers, it’s worth noting that some of their products do contain the confusing and oft-controversial ingredient dimethicone, a silicon that’s used in skincare products, which some speculate can contribute to over-drying or breakouts and, on a broader level, is bad for the environment. But luckily, the ingredients for each product are listed on the website for easy skimming.
And so, we made it our mission to try as many of their products (separately!) so we could understand what, exactly, was what. We did an insanely deep dive into the brand, and while a handful of products were sort of meh, we discovered these 4 can’t-go-on-without hero products that we bought with our own money, will buy again with our own money, and then keep buying them over and over again until we die.
And here they are.
Price: $57
Price: $104
