The Best Skin-Care Lines By Aestheticians You Need to Try

1 / 6

Shani Darden

Shani Darden might be just as well known for being connected to iconic clients like Jessica Alba, Rita Ora, Riley Keough and Shay Mitchell as she is for her eponymous skin-care brand. Darden has had one of the best lactic acid serums on the market—Lactic Acid AHA Exfoliating Serum ($89)—well before the ingredient was trending. Retinol Reform Treatment Serum ($89) is another cult favorite. If you’re looking to splurge, Darden’s collaboration with Déesse to create an LED Mask ($1,900) so you can replicate a few of the final steps in Darden’s signature facial.

Mario Badescu

This European brand has been around so long you might have missed the fact that Romanian native Mario Badescu himself was a chemist and aesthetician. His mission was to bring his European-style facials to New York, and he’s exceeded expectations. He created the still iconic Drying Lotion ($18) in his New York City apartment. While there are still Mario Badescu spas where you can get his treatments, classic products like the Seaweed Night Cream ($22) and Facial Spray ($8) help recreate the magic at home.

Repêchage

Repêchage was founded by Polish-born aesthetician Lydia Sarfati and is still run by her and her daughter Shiri Sarfati, also an aesthetician. The brand’s crowning glory is its proprietary seaweed extract. The formula behind popular products like Algo Mist Hydrating Seaweed Facial Spray ($45) and Vita Cura Renewal Serum ($79) are meant to replicate and support the facial experience at home.

Joanna Czech

With clients like Anna Wintour, Jennifer Aniston, Cate Blanchett, Kim Kardashian and Kate Winslet, we tend to trust anything Joanna Czech recommends when it comes to skin. Her skin-care line featuring both formulas and tools is sleek, chic and minimalist. We love The Cleansing Wipes ($30) and The Toner ($55)—and The Facial Massager ($189) is such a treat.

Renée Rouleau

Celebrity aesthetician Renée Rouleau, who works with Lili Reinhart, Demi Lovato and Keke Palmer, has had a successful skin-care brand for many years, and it continues to get better with age. There is something for everyone. If you struggle with acne, Anti Cyst Treatment ($50) is a great go-to, and the Vitamin C & E Treatment ($73) is fabulous for brightening.

Olehenriksen

Olehenriksen was founded by none other than Ole Henriksen, who is sometimes dubbed “the world’s first celebrity facialist.” It’s decades later, and this Danish aesthetician's products are still generating buzz. The Dewtopia 25% Acid Flash Facial Mask ($50) and Banana Bright+ Vitamin C Brightening Eye Cream ($44) both had moments of viral fame in the past couple of years.
