3 Fashion Brands That Are Doing Skincare Right

Major fashion brands are interested in your skin. Not in a creepy way. They are banking on the idea that if you like what they do for your wardrobe, you’re going to love what they do for your mug. The good news is that these labels have technology and money that upstart brands usually don’t. That translates into new ingredients, more elegant formulas, and packaging designed with the same care that goes into the clothes. So whether you’re looking for a cutting-edge face cream, a simple all-in-one routine, or an excellent natural body lotion, here are three labels to know when you’re ready to make over your medicine cabinet.


Dior Sauvage Mencare

A complete skincare system in three steps, with products that utilize cactus, which is prized for its ability to hold moisture. There’s a gentle cleanser ($42) with charcoal to soak up dirt and oil, a hydrating toner ($65) with pore-tightening and cooling properties, and a moisturizer-serum combo ($95) that not only keeps your skin hydrated all day but also helps strengthen the skin barrier and reduce signs of aging. And yes, they all carry Dior’s signature Sauvage scent—but not enough to irritate sensitive skin.

Like the clothes that go down the runway, this new collection is all about innovation. The products include a proprietary blend of adaptogens that help balance your skin in the face of stressors—think rising global temperatures and pollution—as well as tried-and-true ingredients like hydrating hyaluronic acid, moisturizing Proxylane, the antioxidant vitamin CG, and barrier-strengthening ceramides. There’s a refillable cream ($390) with an innovative gel-to-balm texture that can be used morning and night, a concentrated face and eye serum ($410), a micro-peel toning essence ($135), and a gentle cream-to-foam cleanser ($95).


A.P.C. Self-Care

The draw of A.P.C. clothes is that they’re deceptively simple. The same DNA is infused in the brand’s new line of body-care products. With at least 98 percent of their ingredients being of natural origin, the shower gel ($50), body lotion ($55), hand cream ($30), and more are gentle and hydrating. The scent—a crowd-pleasing blend of floral orange blossom and fresh neroli—encourages relaxation and well-being. Even the packaging is thoughtful: All of it is made from recycled material and is recyclable itself.
