Fenty Skin: The skincare that combines multiple products in one to make things easier
Every product in the Fenty Skin UK range is at least two skincare products in one, saving you time, money and confusion
I s there anything that Rihanna can’t do? She’s a singer, dancer, producer, ambassador, model, makeup mogul and she recently took on the skincare market with the launch of the gender-neutral Fenty Skin UK.
Fenty Skin went on sale in the US on 31 July last year and it builds on Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty collection. Both of which have been created to appeal to all genders and skin types, having been tested on all tones. The full Fenty Skin UK range is available at Boots, and Harvey Nichols in the UK, as well as Sephora in Europe.
As the brand describes itself: “Fenty Skin is skincare uncomplicated. Every multitasking product is easy to use and packed with benefits. It’s all designed to complement Fenty Beauty makeup and has been tested on all skin types and tones. It’s for everyone, even the fellas.”

Fenty Skin UK
There are five main products in the range, plus two refills. These include:
Total Cleans’r Remove-It-All cleanser (£20)
Fenty Skin What is it? A cleanser that doubles up as dirt and makeup remover. If you are interested in learning more about makeup for men, check out our guide to the best men’s makeup brands.
Flash Nap Instant Revival Eye Gel-Cream and Massage Tool (£28 on its own, £36 with roller)
Fenty Skin What is it? The latest addition to the FS lineup, this eye cream contains hyaluronic acid, green tea, Horse chestnut, and Persian silk tree to hydrate the super-thin skin around your eyes. It also brightens dark circles, reduces puffiness and defends against environmental stressors. And because it’s a non-greasy gel, it cools the skin too. The Flash Nap eye cream on its own costs £28, but you can also buy it as part of a bundle with an eye-roller tool (pictured) for £36.
Eye rollers help to gently massage eye creams and gels into the skin while the metal also cools, to reduce puffiness. What’s notable about this particular eye-roller tool is its shape. Most rollers are small roller balls that work fine but mean you have to roll them over a fair bit to cover your entire eye area. Fenty Skin’s tool is flatter and wider meaning you can cover a greater area, quicker and easier.

Fat Water Pore-refining Toner Serum (£25)
Fenty Skin What is it? Another multipurpose miracle, this toner that doubles up as a serum. It gets its name from the fact it’s slightly thicker in consistency than a standard liquid toner, but it’s more watery than traditional serums and isn’t quite as thick as a gel.
Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturiser Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen (£32)
Fenty Skin What is it? This moisturiser comes with SPF, meaning you don’t have to buy and apply two products when this one will do. It’s also rare because few moisturisers come with such a high SPF. Especially not at this price. You can also buy a refill for this moisturiser once you run out.

Instant Reset Overnight Recovery Gel-Cream (£36)
Fenty Skin What is it? A non-comedogenic overnight moisturiser that promises to moisturise your skin for eight hours. This also comes with a refill.
Fenty Skin Start’rs Kit (£32)
Fenty Skin What is it? This kit includes three FS products, plus a refill for the sunscreen.
