5 Skincare Brands Worth Investing In

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at MMM chapter.

Skincare is one of those things—like a good pair of jeans—that is worth investing in. But, with so many products out there, it can be hard to distinguish the products that are worth your money from those that aren’t. Going with respected brands is one way to trust that your money is being invested wisely. Here is a list of tried and true brands whose products are a definitely pricey, but are worth every penny if you’re looking for real results. 

KIEHL’S

Kiehl’s was recently released in Sephora and fans of the brand couldn’t be happier. This brand is known for their skincare and nourishing natural ingredients and has options for all skin types. Believe me when I say every product they sell is of the highest quality and is completely worth your money. But, where they truly excel is in their deep hydration products for all my dry skin folks.
