Celebrity beauty brands have been popping up left and right over the last few years, some to critical acclaim, like Fenty Skin, while others have left much to be desired. When Scarlett Johansson announced in June of 2022 that she was launching a skincare line, I wasn’t just skeptical; I was confused. It’s one thing for a celebrity known for their winged eyeliner or iconic red lips to collaborate with a brand or create a namesake label, like Gwen Stefani’s GXVE Beauty. However, Scarlett Johansson’s skincare label, The Outset, was one career move I didn’t see coming, despite the fact the Marvel actor has an undeniably glowing complexion.
So, you can imagine my surprise when it proved to be one of the best skincare brands I’ve tried in my eight years of testing and reporting on all things beauty.
To create The Outset, the actress teamed up with former beauty and fashion executive Kate Foster to formulate clean skincare staples that do more for your skin with less (but better) ingredients. Its first collection included a cleanser, serum, moisturizer, vitamin C eye cream, and night cream that, when used together, create a complete regimen you can use day and night. After the success of the initial launch, The Outset has since launched an exfoliating micro polish, an ultra-lightweight botanical oil, and a blue clay mask.
I tested the brand’s initial products for nearly a month and can say The Outset makes good on its claims that each item serves a purpose and that this skincare “works for you, not the other way around.” Below, you can find my mini-reviews of each one, but overall, there wasn’t one product I wasn’t impressed by.
