"Is Bubble Skincare worth the TikTok hype? I tried and tested the range to find out" (2024)

"Generally, our range is great for those with sensitive skin, as all our products are free from fragrance and irritating ingredients," Shai says.

And so, with the products now on the UK market and within my reaching distance, I had no choice but to see what all the hype is about with a month of skincare trialling. From the most hyped Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer Créme to the best-selling Fresh Start Gel Cleanser, I tested every Bubble Skincare product out there, to curate a 'best of' list.

Not only does vitamin C help to strengthen skin but it can also diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Essentially, this serum is brilliant for those looking to reduce the appearance of post-blemish dark spots.

Not only that but the niacinamide in this formula makes for a scientific power couple thanks to its ability to calm irritation, even texture and support skin barrier function.

I used this once in the AM before applying my moisturiser and felt that my skin, unlike my love life, was looking as stabilised as ever.

For those looking to tackle breakouts, you've come to the right place because this is the product you should be implementing into your routine.

As with most ingredients, salicylic acid is found in a number of different products, however, in this case, it's channelling main character energy with its very own serum, in conjunction with willow bark. Paired together, I noticed that the two ingredients really helped to clear clogged pores and breakouts without causing irritation to my sensitive, acne-prone skin.

Over-the-counter topical treatments come in concentrations between 0.5 to 2 per cent. Bubble's salicylic acid is 2% (AKA, powerful) so, it should be used only once a day in the PM.

Side note: Mixing vitamin C with salicylic acid can reduce the effectiveness of vitamin C, so, use the former in your morning routine and the latter in your evening routine.

Per the advice of founder Shai, I used this product sparingly and only twice a week. "Some of our products including Deep Dive mask use potent ingredients such as AHA and PHA exfoliants that are not appropriate for younger skin and more focused for mature skin," Shai advised.

So, as an *almost* 25-year-old teenager who has trained her skin in all things acids (I'm still young at heart, guys), I was able to use the Deep Dive mask for a 15-minute reset exfoliation.

As much as it did leave my skin feeling refreshed, I wouldn't switch out my usual exfoliating products for this mask. Instead, I would recommend this to those starting out in the world of exfoliation.

Side note: Try patch-testing before use and implement it into your routine gradually. The brand says: "If you are younger than 14, talk to a dermatologist before using Deep Dive."

Bubble's Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer Créme is one of the brand's best-sellers and for good reason.

The formula includes essential nutrients such as vitamin E and avocado oil, which are perfect for dry skin types. The thick texture may not be for everyone but if you've fallen victim to a parched complexion, seek out a dollop of this twice a day to reap the benefits of nourished, calm, protected, and ready-for-anything skin... GCSE exams? They've got nothing on the Slam Dunk.

We all love makeup. But we love it even more when it doesn't end up on our pillowcase... aka, going to sleep with a full face of glam is never a good idea!

Combatting any chance of that, this makeup remover is one that you'll want to reach for, not only for its super cute shelfie quality but for its milky consistency and ability to remove the most stubborn of mascaras. Lather two pumps onto dry skin and remove with a warm, damp washcloth for best results.

It's a great option if your skin is sensitive to micellar water or similar products.

The perfect second cleanse face wash, Bubble's Fresh Start Gel Cleanser is super gentle on the skin and creates a refreshed base for layering on your succeeding skincare.

The subtle foam washes away the dirt of the day and any remnants of makeup missed on the first cleanse, all without leaving your skin feeling stripped and dry.

Boasting a gel-textured base, this moisturiser provides lightweight, shine-free hydration while also leaving skin feeling comfortable and fresh. In other words, it's the perfect formula for those with oily-combination skin types and that, friends, is something that I [insert humble brag] do not lack. *Nods head in excess sebum production*.

Not only does this formula sit perfectly under my full face of makeup but it adds a subtle dewiness back to the skin after a cleansing parch.

This hydration boost uses a combination of hyaluronic acid and peptides, making it a winner in my books. Niacinamide and top-hydrator glycerin also play key roles in this formulation. What makes this vegan number unique compared to other peptide serums is the milky texture which leaves skin super dewy.

All in all, this not only quenched my parched skin but also soothed it at the same time, so if you're struggling with redness and sensitivity, this is ace.

Although not essential in everyone's routine, if you're suffering from stubborn dry patches and want to sleep beautifully and wake up rejuvenated, then this mask will be your new BFF.

Use it all over your face or on targeted areas at night a few times a week for an extra boost of hydration.

What I particularly like about this product is that it doesn't linger, rather, it seeps into the skin so that your face is dry (but thirst-quenched) when you wake up and not at all sticky.

With a hint of a rose scent, this mist is addictive to use... I'm talking spritzes upon spritzes throughout the day.

But apart from harnessing a delicious fragrance, the Bounce Back Balancing Mist is a great mid-day refresher, resetting skin and adding hydration all while cutting mid-day shine. The seawater in this really does help to mattify and reduce the appearance of pores.

To the dismay of my tiny cross body, this now lives in my handbag – because we're staying toned while on the go.
