THE HYPE

From viral ingredients and the latest buzzwords to ill-advised hacks, there’s a lot of skincare noise out there – and not all of it created equal. But for formulas you can trust, Skin Rocks is the name to have on your radar. The disruptor brand has only been around since 2022, and yet it has already managed to build a cult following and earn rave reviews.

The aim is simple: remove the guesswork – exactly what its founder Caroline Hirons has spent the past 26 years doing over the course of her career as an aesthetician and skin expert. Channelling that same no-nonsense approach, the products are efficacious, reliable and developed by the industry’s top formulators using the best active ingredients available. Now, for the first time, Skin Rocks has released its first-ever mini sets, so you can give the products a try before investing in the full-size versions. Plus, there's a 10% site-wide discount (T&Cs apply) for our readers – new customers can simply use the code SHEERLUXE10.

THE HERO SETS

But where to start? All the experts say the key to great skin is consistency. If you’re looking to level-up your current routine, start small. Small, but mighty. You might usually reserve a miniature set for when you’re packing your carry-on for a holiday, but it can be such a godsend day to day. Especially if you’ve not yet had a chance to try the formulas, this is such an easy entry point, allowing you to dip into the bestsellers and discover some new must-haves.

THE CLINICALS

  • The Gentle Acid: Improves skin radiance and brightness*
  • The Antioxidant: Provides clinically proven protection against environmental damage**
  • The Moisturiser: 42% increase in skin elasticity after just 1 week***
  • Retinoid 1: Reduces hyperpigmentation and skin texture****
  • The Support Oil: Reduces skin redness by up to 42%.*****

 

The AM Routine | £50

How We Use It

Start your morning right with fresh, supple skin. Full of nourishing squalane and amino acids to support skin barrier function, the Cream Cleanser is a great all-rounder. Massage it in to gently break down any oils or sweat accumulated during sleep, then it’s time for some exfoliation. Combining glow-boosting , gentle AHAs with a PHA, you know you’re in safe hands with this formula – it’s such a useful starting point if you’re getting into acids. If dullness is an issue, a potent antioxidant serum goes a long way. The Antioxidant not only brightens, but also helps preserve your collagen levels, reducing signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles. Finally, restore your skin’s natural bounce with The Moisturiser. We love this best-of-both formula for its light, whipped consistency, and yet it still manages to deliver that quenched feeling. Follow up with your go-to SPF.

The PM Routine | £60

How We Use It 

When getting ready for bed, you need a cleanser you can rely on to melt away the day. The Gel Cleanser breaks down SPF, make-up and daily debris, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple. One of the most popular topics on the SL Community is vitamin A – where to start, how to navigate the dreaded purge stage and which products are best suited to beginners. If this is new territory, or if you know you’re prone to sensitivity, make Retinoid 1 your go-to. Formulated with 0.2% hydroxypinacolone retinoate, it boosts cell turnover, gently smoothing any uneven texture while still nourishing skin. Easily one of the most enjoyable parts of our nightly routine, massaging in a few drops of The Support Oil reduces redness and has a luxurious, sensorial feel. Finally, seal in the moisture with the same formula you used earlier – trust us, your skin is guaranteed to appear plumper and more well-rested come morning.
