After moving to New York and developing eczema on my face, eyelids, and hands, I reached a point where I’d try literally anything to help me out.
My skin was irritated, flaky, and borderline painful, even after many dermatology visits and prescriptions. That’s when I picked up The Outset by Scarlett Johansson.
The brand’s simplicity immediately stood out—just a handful of gentle, vegan, fragrance-free formulas designed for sensitive skin. I started with the Daily Essentials Regimen Bundle: the Gentle Micellar Antioxidant Cleanser, Firming Vegan Collagen Prep Serum, and Nourishing Squalane Daily Moisturizer.
Within a week, the redness around my eyes softened. Within two weeks, my flaky patches were barely visible. And then the star stepped in: the Botanical Barrier Rescue Balm, a thick, comforting balm I now treat like liquid gold. Whenever I feel a dry patch forming, I dab it on and boom—crisis averted. In the winter, I’ll use it as an overnight mask and it has yet to fail me.
No, you should not ditch your dermatologist (mine told me, “If your skin loves it, stick with it”). But this is the only skincare I’ve ever subscribed to monthly—and the refillable pouches make reordering so easy.
Plus, they just came out with new shades of the Lip Oasis lip treatments for summer, and I’m obsessed.
For eczema-prone or chronically dry skin, The Outset is genuinely worth the hype.
