Call it an occupational hazard, but because I’m a beauty editor who is lucky enough to test pretty much every single new serum, cream, and cleanser in existence, I’ve morphed into an on-demand skincare concierge for my friends and family. At least twice a day, I field texts from everyone from my mom’s best friend to a loose acquaintance from college, who is dying to know which product is best suited to their skin concern of the moment. I’ll throw in a medical-grade treatment here and there and love the occasional drugstore find, but without a doubt, my most-recommended skincare brand—regardless of age, skin type, or texture—is YISE Beauty. And let me just say: every person I put on one of these products repurchases them.
The brand, founded by Molly Sims in April 2023, prides itself on a tight edit—skincare products that are effective, multi-tasking, and no-BS. “I wanted glowing skin on a busy mom’s schedule, so I created it,” Sims says. She’s also struggled with melasma and perioral dermatitis (same, same), so the product line was designed to even skin tone, strengthen the skin barrier, and provide effective results without irritation. The brand has been expanding its presence in my skincare routine with every new launch, and my skin has genuinely never looked glowier, tighter, or bouncier. The products play in the luxury space, but the price point isn’t outright absurd like some other brands—I really do feel like you get what you pay for.
