Every single product in the Skin Proud lineup is under $20, and these formulas are actually more elegant than the brands they’re competing with.
Take the Skin Proud Detox Tonic, for example. It’s not hard to find a glycolic acid toner out there, but this one is about $17 and comes in a nice pump bottle. The finish isn’t sticky which is what I’ve hated about other toners. I’m using this in the AM as my only cleanse… There is 5% lactic acid in this toner which makes it more gentle than other acid toners.
I like both the Sorbet Skin and the Sleep Hero moisturizers. They’re both light but have a pleasing jelly texture, and really the only difference is that the Sorbet Skin is the lighter of the two. You could use Sleep Hero during the day… there’s nothing in it that makes it only suitable for the night time. But, they’re both light, so probably not great for very dry skin.
There’s even a gentle retinol in the lineup, called the Recharge Serum. Again, this is a super light formula even though it has rosehip oil in it. Honestly, the retinol is a bit confusing because the line seems more geared towards the younger demographic, and not EVERYONE has to use retinol all the time, but if you wanted a retinol in a light gentle formula, then this could be for you.
I think this line has a good balance of ingredient-focused skincare but without being too concerned with percentages. Recent trends have been to obsess over what percentage of retinol or glycolic you’re using without any regard to the elegance and usability of the formula. I know that we all want skincare that works, but what’s the point of an intense formula that irritates your skin?
Honestly, keep me stocked with the Detox Tonic and the Sleep Hero cream and I’m happy.
The whole line is at Walmart now.
