JL: Fragrance is one of the most common culprits for allergic contact dermatitis, especially for those with sensitive skin. Can you outline the most common dangers associated with scent or fragrance in skincare products and any common reactions that can occur? One of the biggest criticisms of Fenty Skin so far has to do with the products having fragrance in them.
The one bad thing is skincare isn’t really regulated, so claims can be made without any research. People on the internet are huge critics, so celebrities have a lot of pressure to do it right. I think some celebrities really put thought into their brands and focus on ingredients, formulation, production, distribution, while others shortcut for speed, profit, and mass production. SF: I don’t think there is a one-size-fits-all answer.
However, in my opinion, products are rarely formed with dermatologists on the team. Photo: are your thoughts on celebrities launching skincare lines? In your experience, are they well-formulated? Read on for their expert opinions, and keep scrolling to see what our beauty editors think too. Here to answer my burning questions are board-certified dermatologists Jenny Liu, MD, FAAD, assistant professor for the department of dermatology at the University of Minnesota Medical School, and Sheila Farhang, MD, founder of Avant Dermatology and Aesthetics. So I flipped through my Rolodex of experts and landed on two badass female derms to get their honest opinions on all things Fenty Skin. Even though I'm always fully ready to give Rihanna the benefit of the doubt (even when it comes to the album we've all been waiting on for years-give it to us, sis!), I knew I had to get some expert advice before making any judgments. I saw influencer after influencer calling out the ingredients, bashing the scent, and generally piling on in ways I hardly could have expected. You can imagine my dismay when leading up to launch day, I started seeing less-than-favorable reviews of the brand's first three products: Total Cleans'r Remove It All Cleanser ($25), Fat Water Pore-Refining Toner Serum ($28), and Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer ($35).
