Kylie Skin and What We Think About the Key Ingredients

Self-made billionaire, Kylie Jenner finally launched her skincare line, Kylie Skin and here’s what we know about the skin care line for now. All the products are dermatologist tested, vegan and cruelty-free. They are formulated without gluten, sulfate, and paraben.

The brand hasn’t revealed the full ingredient list for the products, however, they have revealed some of the key ingredients for their products. Let’s take a look at those ingredients.

Disclaimer: This article is based on the key ingredients of Kylie Skin, we do not own any products from Kylie Skin. This article is just a reference. 

Kylie Skin Foaming Face Wash

Key Ingredients: kiwi seed oil, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate. 

Infused with kiwi seed oil that is packed with vitamin C and E, Kiwi is one effective antioxidant for skin. It contains a much higher concentration of vitamin C than an orange. Antioxidants reduce and slow down free radical production. As a result, the skin is looking bright and radiant. Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate are both very common ingredients that can be found in various skin care products. Both ingredients hydrates and keep skin moisturized. As for cleansing agents, Kylie uses gentle cleansing ingredients derived from coconut that won’t harshly strip off your skin’s moisture.

Kylie Skin Walnut Face Scrub

Key Ingredients: glycerin, squalane, ginseng extract, sodium hyaluronate, fine walnut powder

The walnut face scrub is causing all the controversies on the internet. Mostly because people are comparing it with St. Ives apricot scrub. Kylie also talked about the scrub is gentle to use for everyday and she uses it 2-3 times a week.

We haven’t seen the actual product but here’s what we think.
The size and the amount of the particles in a pump do matters. Let’s take sugar as an example. So there are fine sugar and regular sugar. The regular sugar will definitely hurt your skin because it’s a larger particle whereas the fine sugar is much more refine and most of it probably will just melt away while you are scrubbing your face.

However, we don’t think that anyone (even when you have very oily skin) should scrub their face every single day.

Kylie Skin Vanilla Milk Toner

Key Ingredients: squalane, avocado oil, apricot kernel oil, apple fruit extract

This lightly-scented milk toner contains squalane, avocado oil, apricot kernel oil that feels to be extra nourishing and moisturizing. This product also features apple fruit extract as an antioxidant, which keeps your skin tone even and bright. On top of that, this toner is formulated without alcohol. That means that you can purify and balance your skin in a more gentle way. According to Kylie, this product smells like vanilla milk. But if your skin has a problem with fragrance, maybe you should skip this one.

Kylie Skin Vitamin C Serum

Key Ingredients: vitamin C, camellia oleifera leaf

Serum is such a crucial product for healthy, glowing skin. Vitamin C has been very popular in the beauty industry for a while now, so it’s not surprising that Kylie uses this ingredient for her product. Vitamin C does wonder on your skin such as brighten up your skin tone, boost collagen productions, fade spots and diminish fine lines on your face. Your skin texture looks refined and smoother overall.

Camellia oleifera leaf extract is an antioxidant that protects your skin from inflammatory and preserves the natural moisture barrier of the skin.

ps: we really don’t think it’s necessary to start anti-aging skin care as such a young age. Unless your skin starts showing some signs of aging skin.

Kylie Skin Eye Cream

Key Ingredients: vitamin E, vitamin C, jojoba seed oil, caffeine, green tea extract, pomegranate extract

Much like other products in Kylie Skin, this product is packed with antioxidants. Apart from ingredients like vitamin E & vitamin C, green tea extract and pomegranate extract are also powerful antioxidants, which will help with fine lines and depuff your eyes. Besides, caffeine helps blood circulations and reduce dark circles. Lastly, we like jojoba seed oil when applying on our face, but on our eye area, not so much. In fact, we will think twice before applying any type of oils around our eye area. The reason behind this is because our eye area is very delicate and sensitive. In addition, if the excessive oil trapped in your skin, there’s a risk that you might get milia seeds around your eyes.

Kylie Skin Face Moisturizer

Key Ingredients: glycerin, shea butter, banana leaf extract, oat bran extract, orange peel extract, aloe

Shea butter has a natural rich consistency that will make your skin moisturized and smooth. However, it needs to formulate well to have the smooth and buttery texture that blends into your skin. Next, banana leaf extract which we found it’s one interesting ingredient that you don’t really see it often in skin care products. Even though Kylie did not put this info on her page, but banana leaf extract, oat bran, and aloe all are natural skin healing ingredients. All these ingredients reduce inflammation and speed up the healing process. However, it’s clearly stated on Kylie Skin’s Instagram that these ingredients will make your skin feel soft and smooth.

Packaging

All of the products are looking chic and pretty in pink! All the product come in a tube or a bottle which is something we really like.
