Hormonal changes during menopause can bring on a host of skin concerns—from dryness and dullness to sensitivity and unexpected breakouts. But one skin-care brand is standing out among women over 50 for addressing these concerns head-on: Stripes, the beauty brand founded by Naomi Watts and specifically formulated for menopausal skin.
In a recent survey,* we asked more than 1,300 NewBeauty readers to name their favorite skin-care product. A top response among women 50 and older? Stripes. Designed with hormonal shifts in mind, the line’s standout products—including the Evening Wear Night Cream and Dew As I Do Serum—are helping women reclaim their glow and feel good in their skin again.
What Readers Over 50 Are Saying About Stripes
The love is real. A 57-year-old with dry skin says the retinoid-infused Evening Wear moisturizer ($80) is “rich” and makes her skin “feel moisturized and glowy.” Another 55-year-old echoes the sentiment, sharing: “It feels so good when you put it on your face.”
For a 54-year-old with combination skin, the Dew As I Do Cream ($80), a brightening formula packed with vitamin C and ectoine, delivers immediate results: “[I love how] my skin looks after I apply,” she says.
One 55-year-old reader with peri-menopausal skin says Stripes was the game-changer she didn’t know she needed: “It’s the first product I’ve tried that completely moisturizes my skin without causing breakouts or leaving dry spots. I love it for my peri-menopausal skin!”
With rave reviews from women who’ve struggled to find solutions for hormonally affected skin, Stripes is proving that skin care can be empowering, effective and deeply nourishing at any age.
