Best Luxury Beauty Brands in 2025
Augustinus Bader
The Rich Cream, £150.00
The Bestselling Moisturiser
There's a lot of hype around Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream and we can confirm it is absolutely justified. The TFC8 powered formula leaves your skin feeling hydrated, nourished and radiant. For those who prefer a lighter texture, there's also Augustinus Bader The Cream, £150.00.
Eve Lom
Cleanser, £48.00
The Iconic Cleanser
One of the luxury skincare OG's, Eve Lom is synonymous with A-list facials and products that mix botanical formulas with hard-hitting results. The most reviewed (and loved) cleanser, with almost 1500 reviews, and one of the first balm cleansers to exist, this melts away make-up, spf and daily impurities with ease. It's also available in a travel-size so fans never have to part with their beloved cleanser.
Emma Lewisham
Supernatural Vitale Face Elixir, £85.00
The Skin Plumper
Emma Lewisham is passionate not only about innovative formulations in skincare, but also about customers’ needs and desires. Which is why she created this high-performing serum. Designed as a natural alternative to Botox and fillers, it’s powered by 11 cutting-edge natural actives and a Neuropeptide Relaxant Complex to deliver incredible skin-smoothing, fine line filling results.
Révive
Moisturizing Renewal Cream Suprême Nightly Retexturizer, £150.00
The Overnight Skin Smoother
If you want a product that requires minimum effort on your part yet provides maximum results, look to RéVive Moisturizing Renewal Cream Supreme Nightly Retexturizer. Slather a thin layer of this rich cream into your face and neck 20 minutes before you're due to hit the hay and let the expert blend of glycolic acid and glycerin get to work. By the time you wake up, your skin will look and feel smoother, softer and brighter.
Sisley-Paris
Black Rose Cream Mask, £142.00
The Famous Face Mask
Sisley-Paris Black Rose Mask is always worth the investment. The creamy formula melts into skin and transforms a dull, lacklustre complexion into a plumper, brighter one in less than 15 minutes. While the instructions recommend using two to three times a week, we’ve been known to swap this in for our usual day cream when temperatures plummet.
La Mer
The Lip Balm, £62.00
The Must-Have Lip Balm
If you're obsessed with lip balms, you'll have heard about La Mer's luxury Lip Balm. The super smooth formula makes dry, cracked lip a problem of the past.
LA PRAIRIE
Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream, £350.00
The Eye Saviour
Combining an innovative and luxurious caviar blend with La Prairie’s signature cellular complex, this rich, deeply sensorial cream is a treat for the delicate eye area. Its silky texture glides on like a dream – but as well as leaving skin deeply moisturised and nourished, it also works to diminish the appearance of puffiness and create a lifted and firmed effect.
May Lindstrom Skin
The Honey Mud, £93.00
The Complexion Transformer
Want to rid your complexion of dead skin cells and daily buildup to unveil a smooth, clear and glowing complexion? This hardworking mask will make all the difference in a matter of minutes. Enriched with raw organic honey, silver, white halloysite clay and aromatic plant oils, it’s essentially a natural exfoliating acid that infuses skin with enzymes to plump and soften.
Medik8
r-Retinoate Intense, £229.00
The Retinol Treatment
This is the ultimate retinol serum if you’re a vitamin A pro. Medik8 has formulated its r-Retinoate Intense to work 11 times faster and eight times stronger than regular retinol. It also contains copper peptide, squalane and hyaluronic acid to hydrate, nourish and strengthen skin.
