Cult US beauty brand Peace Out has landed in the UK and skincare buffs are going wild for it
It's an exciting week for skincare buffs as one of Sephora's top brands is making its UK debut. Enter: Peace Out.
Their fun and friendly packaging might look like it's all about the aesthetic rather than the effectiveness, but you'd be sorely mistaken for thinking so. Appealing heavily to a Millennial and Gen Z market, each product contains a high strength active - think acids and retinol - to leave skin happy.
You can now get the popular American brand in Boots, making it accessible to the masses.
Most of their products are targeted at dealing with acne, blemishes and congestion - and for that there's a serum, stick-on dots, and a cleanser. But for other skin concerns, there are products to tackle dullness and fine lines.
Now we're not going to say anything here is a dupe product... but if Dr Dennis Gross' famous brightening pads have been slightly out of your budget, you might want to try Peace Out's Dullness Pads which come in a pack of eight.
Although, the hero product Peace Out are best known for are their Acne Dots. Launched back in 2017, they've earned their stripes having done the rounds on TikTok and have even impressed the ever-critical skinfluencer Hyram.
Enrico Freeza, CEO and founder of Peace Out Skincare, tells GLAMOUR: "My favourite products are the Acne Dots for the occasional breakout and the Retinol Eye Stick to combat ageing concerns around the eye without being too heavy."
He also loves the Acne Serum, which recognises that for those who have acne the breakout itself isn't the only concern - it's also about how the skin is left once the breakout heals.
"[It's] a everyday 7-in-1 serum that helps with everything from acne to post breakout discoloration, all while not drying out the skin," he explains.
Expanding the brand's reach to the UK feels like a perfect fit for Enrico, who tells us: "We love how the UK is leading the acne positivity movement and we think our Acne Serum is the perfect product to champion the consumers best skin.”
So, whatever 'putting your best face forward' means to you, there's a product here to help make managing your skin easier.
And no, putting your best face forward doesn't mean hating on signs of acne, it's about doing what makes you feel good in your skin. Any other feeling can peace the f*ck out.
