Credo Beauty Just Dropped Its Own Skincare Line, and I've Never Hit "Add to Cart" So Fast
As someone who has been shopping at leading clean beauty retailer Credo for years, I write this with much excitement. The brand recently launched its own eponymous skincare line rooted in its long-standing ethos. Credo was (and still is!) a leading retailer in the clean beauty movement, stressing the importance of ingredient safety and sustainable packaging. The new skincare line really delivers on both fronts, and I’m about to share why.
The star ingredient of this new collection is upcycled vetiver, an ingredient rarely used in skincare but that should be utilized more due to its ability to deeply hydrate the skin. Additionally, the packaging also features a new one-of-a-kind pump made of 100% recycled content created from hard-to-recycle beauty packaging waste. Most cosmetic pumps are hard to recycle because they contain a metal spring, but this pump can potentially eliminate hundreds of pounds of plastic waste. The brand is also making this pump available to other brands, giving them the opportunity to also eliminate packaging waste. Honestly, I’ll buy the products for that alone, but Credo is a retailer I love and trust, so I know the products also won’t disappoint.
For everything I’m shopping from the brand’s new line, keep scrolling. I’m sharing it all ahead.
First, let's talk about the super-chic packaging. The sea blue shades and sleek bottles would look gorgeous on any counter. This ultra-hydrating moisturizer helps strengthen the skin's barrier, protecting it from environmental stressors and improving firmness and elasticity. Star ingredients include sodium PCA to combat dehydration and omega-rich hydrators like prickly pear seed oil and pomegranate seed oil.
For glowing skin, try the brand’s Radiance Rising Vitamin C Moisturizer. This is a great option if you struggle with hyperpigmentation or a loss of firmness—there are three liposomal forms of vitamin C to help, after all. This formula is also designed to help strengthen the skin barrier with its star ingredient vetiver and postbiotics.
If retinoids are just too much for you, try this gentle moisturizer from the brand featuring bakuchiol, a retinol alternative that helps stimulate collagen production and is known to be less irritating. Peptides in the formula also boost skin’s firmness and smoothness while postbiotics improve barrier function and protect against environmental stress.
Folks with *extra* sensitive skin, this one’s for you. This moisturizer features a trio of natural, soothing powerhouses composed of balloon vine, black currant, and sunflower to hydrate and protect a hyper-sensitive complexion.
This gentle cleanser from the brand is also designed for sensitive skin and contains both prebiotics and postbiotics to help strengthen the skin’s microbiome.
If you have extra-dry skin, this cleanser from the brand is for you. Babassu oil and aloe leaf juice bring a serious dose of hydration to the skin. It also, of course, features the brand’s star ingredient vetiver root extract, which locks in moisture and provides antioxidant protection.
More Products I'm Shopping From Credo
I waxed poetic recently about Le Prunier's face oil, and I’ll now do so again. It’s a brightening and hydrating staple in my routine that I never want to run low on.
I haven’t gotten my hands on this foundation just yet, but I’m excited to! I love how light and glowy the finish is, and it has great hydrating ingredients.
