A Sold-Out Serum, Plus 6 Other Beauté Pacifique Products That Completely Changed My Skin

You see this unassuming serum pictured right here?

It's called the Beauté Pacifique Defy Damage Skin Repair Serum, and you'd think I'd earn a commission considering how much I talk about it.

With its plain white bottle and old school branding, it mightn't look like much...

But when we published this Beauté Pacifique Defy Damage serum review, it sold out within days.

What was once a beauty editor's best kept secret is now one of our top 10 best-selling active skincare serums of all time alongside other cult favourites like SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic and asap super B serum. (You can see the full top serums list here).

But it's not the only Beauté Pacifique that completely changed my skin.

From vitamin A treatments, to cleansers, masks and moisturisers, keep scrolling for the Beauté Pacifique products that deserve way more credit.

Best Beauté Pacifique Products.

This Danish cosmeceutical skincare brand (pronounced Beau-tay Pasif-eek) has been around since the 90s.

But before launching on Adore Beauty in 2019, you could only buy these active products from beauty salons and facialists.

The thing I think is extra special about Beauté Pacifique products is how the formulas make potent and otherwise irritating active ingredients accessible for sensitive, acne-prone and reactive skins.

Is the packaging chic or cool or Instagram-worthy? Not really.

It's actually a bit naff, but in my experience, some of the very best beauty products are hidden in average packaging.

Beauté Pacifique Defy Damage Skin Repair Serum 40ml is the brand's best seller, but narrowing down this list of top picks was really bloody hard.

If you love the cult defy damage serum, try these six underrated Beauté Pacifique products next.

Best Beauté Pacifique Products.

1. Beauté Pacifique Serum Paradoxe.

What:

Beauté Pacifique Submersive Serum Paradoxe 30ml

• Beauté Pacifique Submersive Serum Paradoxe is a gem of a product.

• Think of it as a mix between an antioxidant serum and a nourishing squalane face oil.

• Dry-ish oil texture absorbs well, and reduces the look of redness and fine lines.

• One Beauté Pacifique Serum Paradoxe review also says, "My skin is very acne-prone so I was worried this would cause me to breakout but it did the opposite. It makes my skin soft and dewy."

This Beauté Pacifique product had me at:

Look, I came for the dreamy aquatic packaging, and stayed for how beautiful this lush serum/oil hybrid makes my skin look and feel.

Yep, even when I'm breaking out, flushing or navigating redness.

How to use the Beauté Pacifique Serum Paradoxe:

Apply day or night as a face oil, before makeup as a hydrating foundation primer, or even by adding a drop to your foundation!

Best for:

Anyone who wants their skin to look like it's just come back from a wellness retreat.

Oh, and if you're sick of your foundation looking cakey, flaky or patchy, it makes foundation glide on my super dry, thirsty skin like butter.

2. Beauté Pacifique Puffy Eyes Gel.

What:

Beauté Pacifique Puffy Eyes Gel

• Beauté Pacifique Puffy Eyes Gel is an all-rounder eye cream under $100 that addresses puffiness, dehydration and the appearance of fine lines.

• Contains peptides (sodium ursolate and oleanoate), caffeine, chamomile extract and spilanthes acmella flower extract.

• These ingredients help with the appearance of puffiness, and dark circles and fine lines by plumping and hydrating the delicate under-eye skin.

This Beauté Pacifique product had me at:

Puffy eyes gel.

But seriously, I'm impressed by how literally the tiniest amount of this serum/lotion eye cream plumps, hydrates and smooths my weary bags.

How to use the Beauté Pacifique Puffy Eyes Gel:

Apply morning and night after cleansing and before other skin care, suitable for all skin types.

Best for:

If under-eye puffiness is a primary concern of yours, but you'd like to step up to an all-rounder product that does a bit extra.

3. Beauté Pacifique Instant Hydrating Mask.

What:

Beauté Pacifique Instant Hydrating Mask 100ml

• A collagen, lanolin and squalane mask every cosmeceutical skincare lover needs to get on their face immediately.

• It's full of everything skin barriers froth over - squalane, lanolin, collagen, and a spattering of vitamins A, C and E - to hydrate and fortify your skin.

• Controversial opinion: I reckon this is *even better* than the Aspect probiotic mask everyone raves about.

This Beauté Pacifique product had me at:

Instant. And Hydrating.

This is the tube I reach for on the nights I'm not using an acid or retinol product... or when I've predictably overdone it with the actives.

Note, this mask has a similarly distinct laundry scent to the defy damage serum that I find really comforting.

How to use the Beauté Pacifique Instant Hydrating Mask:

As a luscious, intensely hydrating cream mask you can wash off after 15 mins, or slather on thick before bed as your night moisturiser.

Best for:

Every cosmeceutical or active skincare lover needs a tube of this on hand for when they inevitably break their skin barrier.

I'm onto my fourth or fifth tube and can't stop, won't stop.

4. Beauté Pacifique Cleansing Foam.

What:

Beauté Pacifique Cleansing Foam 150ml

• A richly hydrating foaming cleanser that balances, without stripping the skin.

• It's so good at removing makeup and sunscreen, I find I don't need to double cleanse.

• Quick and easy to use in the shower, or when you're in a rush.

This Beauté Pacifique product had me at:

The ultra creamy, shimmery formula!

This isn't like other 'foaming' cleansers. The lather is so luscious and velvety, and cuts through grime without removing your skin's natural moisture with it.

You only need a tiny bit, so the big tube with last for months.

How to use the Beauté Pacifique Cleansing Foam:

Dry skin types like me might find using this in the evening to remove makeup, sunscreen and general debris works best.

Normal to oily skin types, go for your life AM and PM.

Massage a pea-sized amount of cleanser between damp palms to form the lather before working into the skin, then rinse.

Best for:

People who feel like milk and cream cleansers don't cut it, but don't want to dry their skin out, either.

5. Beauté Pacifique Serum Symphonique Hyaluronic Serum.

What:

Beauté Pacifique Serum Symphonique Hyaluronic Serum

• A sophisticated hyaluronic acid serum that doubles as your all-rounder age management

• Multiple molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, glycerin and urea draw in and retain moisture in both superficial and deeper layers of the skin.

• You've also got peptides, niacinamide and an exfoliating enzyme.

• Silky texture sinks into the skin and gives an instant glowy, plump effect.

This Beauté Pacifique product had me at:

Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, the man-made molecule on the ingredients list that (allegedly) mimics the effects of botox injections...

How to use the Beauté Pacifique Hyaluronic Serum:

This serum can slot just about anywhere into your skincare routine.

Apply in the morning after cleansing and your antioxidant serum, and before moisturiser and SPF, or at night after cleansing and before moisturiser. Or both.

Best for:

Anyone wanting a one-and-done hydrating, barrier-strengthening serum that feels premium to use.

If you don't like the tacky feeling some affordable hyaluronic acid serums leave on the skin, you'll notice a huge difference after using this one.

6. Beauté Pacifique SuperFruit Créme (All Skin Types).

What:

Beauté Pacifique SuperFruit Créme - All Skin Types

• This moisturiser is a quiet achiever - the formula has all the frills, with none of the fuss.

• Squalane and argan oil moisturise by mimicking our skin's natural moisturising factors.

• Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory extracts increase skin radiance and protect against free radical damage.

• Glorious texture is super silky and thick (but not too thick), and gives skin a luminous but balanced finish.

This Beauté Pacifique product had me at:

Hello. This was indeed the moisturiser I was looking for.

It's the Goldilocks of face creams. Not too rich. Not too light. It's just right.

How to use the Beauté Pacifique Day Cream:

Just because it's a 'day cream', doesn't mean you can't use this at night, too.

Best for:

Anyone and everyone, in my opinion.

The formula is hydrating and moisturising enough to make dry skin feel comfy.

But according to the Beauté Pacifique day cream reviews, the way the thick texture absorbs into the skin without leaving a greasy residue makes it suitable for dehydrated blemish-prone skins.
