There’s no shortage of trendy skincare products on the internet, but anyone in the industry will tell you, not all of them live up to the hype. So, obviously we knew we needed to find out which ones actually do.
Which is why we reached out to some of Australia’s leading beauty experts to share the products they genuinely use (and repurchase), because let’s be honest, we all want a sticky beak on the items that earn a permanent spot on their bathroom shelf… time and time again.
The Cleanser They Always Come Back To
“It’s one of my all time favorite products and a staple on my vanity for years!”
Bioderma Micellar Water, is the OG backstage staple. A micellar water cleanser designed to remove dirt, oils and makeup without the use of water.
It’s ideal for nights when you can’t face a full routine but still want to treat your skin kindly. Proper cleansing sets the stage for everything that follows, allowing your serums and moisturisers to actually do their job.
Hot tip: keep a bottle on your nightstand for those “too tired to move” emergencies. I promise your skin will thank you in the morning.
The Haircare Range That Brings Strands Back To Life
What: Redken ABC range
“My hair has never looked healthier!”
When a beauty editor tells you she stans a haircare range you pay attention. The Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate range has become the go-to system for anyone dealing with damage, dryness, or dullness and for good reason.
The range uses a low pH balancing formula and bonding care complex to reinforce weakened hair from the inside out, helping to restore strength, smoothness, and shine.
If your hair feels dull, dry and needs a little life bought back into it. You know what you need to do.
The Everyday Makeup Base That Never Misses

Mac Studio Radiance Face and Body Foundation is a lightweight, sheer foundation that makeup artists and beauty experts go back to again and again.
It’s sheer, but buildable and is the perfect no makeup, makeup foundation for your every day. It’s the kind of foundation that makes skin look healthy, not heavy and a timeless staple that proves effortless really can be achieved so easily!
The Cult Supplement Beauty Experts Take
What: The Beauty Chef Glow
“I always notice such a difference when I’m consistent with it.”
The Beauty Chef Glow Powder is a beauty industry tried and tested product that has stood the test of time.

The Serum That Delivers Every. Single. Time.

Skinceuticals C E Ferulic, is THE cult, the myth, the vitamin C product that every beauty lover will rave about on repeat.
It’s the patented combination of L-ascorbic acid, vitamin E and ferulic acid that brightens, protects and really delivers a glow to the skin that keeps people coming back for more… despite the price tag.
The One You’ve Never Heard Of (But Should)
“This doesn’t get the hype it deserves! Feels like butter on the lips!”
