Skin Is In
6 Skincare Products Our FP Team CANNOT Live Without
By: Caitlin Madden
Favorites from our beauty aficionados.
It’s an age-old question.
“What one thing would you bring if you were stranded on a desert island?”
For Free People’s beauty team, the mind goes straight to skincare. After all, if you’d be spending all that time outside in the elements, wouldn’t you want to take care of your skin?
Okay, maybe in reality it’s not that dire, but at the very least, when these products run out, they’re the first thing on our beauty shelves that we’re restocking.

A HOLY-GRAIL CLEANSER
“This product is a tried-and-true for me, I have been using it for years now and it’s something I will always repurchase! I’ve tried so many other cleansers, but nothing beats this one. I love it for so many reasons but mainly because it doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry or stripped. I have extremely sensitive skin and most cleansers dry my face out and leave my skin feeling and looking dull, but this one doesn’t! I love how gentle it is, it foams up perfectly, and the scent is refreshing. Plus, a little goes a long way which is always nice, too!”

A SO-ESSENTIAL SERUM
“I have gone through double-digit bottles of the Summary Stress-Less Serum. I use it for everything!! It's an amazing base layer prior to my skincare routine, but also perfect for prepping and priming the skin for makeup application! The serum leaves my face feeling brightened and hydrated when I wear it alone, and plump and smooth under my foundation. I also swear by using it after sun exposure in the summer. It helps lessen my redness and irritation by soothing and softening! Hands down my favorite product in my skincare collection and such a simple staple to have.”

A MULTI-TASKING SUNSCREEN
“I have to give a special shout-out to the RMS SuperNatural Radiance Serum. This is technically makeup with skincare benefits, but it is a tinted SPF serum, and it is the best thing I have ever put on my face. It smooths out my complexion, blends beautifully with other products (powder or cream), looks amazing with a full face or just alone, and makes your skin glow like no other. It really is a radiance serum!”

A REALLY AMAZING RETINOL
“This innovative oil has just the right amount of gentle retinol. I swear my skin looks younger since I started using it, and without the usual peeling and drying that can happen with starting retinol — no skin shedding here! It’s also the only retinol I’ve found that makes my skin feel more hydrated and plump without needing to use additional products. It’s basically everything I’ve ever wanted in a skincare product. I’m obsessed.”

A MUST-HAVE MASK
“I have never used a more hydrating mask or moisturizer than this one. With my drier-than-dry skin, I really don’t know if my skin could live without it. It is incredibly hydrating and I love that it’s formulated to be worn overnight — I’ve pretty much replaced my nighttime moisturizer with this mask. Every morning after using it, I wake up with bouncy, dewy-looking skin, and I feel like it hydrates so deeply that it lasts all day long. It also smells amazing. It’s pretty much everything I want out of a skincare product.”

A FINISHING TOUCH FRAGRANCE
“Is fragrance skincare? Technically, no, but it is the final step to my getting-ready routine, and it does go on your skin. I can’t start my day without this amazing, earthy perfume. I'm a sucker for essential oils and how a scent can transform your mood or enhance your experience. The Zen scent is grounding and a perfect reset before you go about your day or even as a pick-me-up throughout your day.”
