Chanel Told Me Its Best-Selling Skincare Products, so Now I'm Spilling
In the realm of luxury skincare, Chanel is nearly untouchable. The iconic brand has been making skincare since 1927 when it launched 15 products aimed to help women improve their skin. Since then, the brand has launched a myriad of skincare products and lines, each aiming to help people achieve their best complexion. At this point, Chanel is a skincare staple for many.
If you're looking to invest in one of Chanel's skincare products, it can be difficult to figure out which ones might be best for you. I decided to go straight to the source and ask Chanel what its best-selling skincare products are. The results don't disappoint—you could build an entire skincare routine with these iconic products. From an eye cream that mitigates fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness to a CC cream that blurs while it protects, there's something here for everyone. Keep reading to discover Chanel's best-selling skincare products and learn why they've reached superstar status.
1. Chanel La Mousse
Consider this the most luxurious cleanser you'll ever try. It goes from cream to foam instantly and is the perfect product for washing off makeup, oil, and sunscreen.
2. Chanel Démaquillant Yeux Intense
I often find that eye-makeup removers feel greasy on my eyelids or turn my makeup into a gloopy mess rather than remove it. This one removes makeup in one swipe and leaves the delicate skin around your eyes feeling soft and hydrated (but never oily).
3. Chanel Le Lift Crème Yeux
If you're looking for a holy-grail eye cream to add to your rotation, look no further. This innovative formula uses botanical alfalfa, which essentially acts as a retinol alternative to smooth fine lines and wrinkles while curbing puffiness and dark circles.
4. Chanel La Crème Main Texture Riche
You might think that a hand cream is a hand cream. That, however, couldn't be further from the truth in the case of this ultra-luxe, deeply hydrating one. Iris pallida, May rose wax, shea butter, and glycerin are all its hero ingredients that nourish, soften, and soothe rough skin.
5. Chanel N°1 De Chanel Revitalizing Serum
This luxe serum protects against environmental aggressors while adding a luminous glow to dull or lackluster skin. The hero ingredient, red camellia extract, also prevents and corrects signs of aging.
6. Chanel UV Essentiel
I won't lie to you—$55 feels like a lot to spend on sunscreen, particularly when many drugstore formulas get the job done for less. If you want a sunscreen that's just about perfect, though, this is a one-stop shop. It goes on seamlessly and feels weightless on the skin, acting as a grippy primer for makeup.
7. Chanel Le Tonique
You know how toners tend to make skin feel tight and stripped? This one does the exact opposite, moisturizing skin as it tones and preps it for your next skincare steps.
8. Chanel Hydra Beauty Micro Crème
If your skin is on the drier side, my guess is that you've probably tried plenty of rich creams to help lock in hydration. The best part about this lightweight gel is that it delivers all the moisture of a luxe cream without any of the heaviness. It leaves skin feeling refreshed and looking plump.
9. Chanel Le Lift Crème
Botanical alfalfa concentrate is the powerhouse ingredient in this smoothing moisturizer. Not only does it give skin tons of hydration, but it also lifts and tones.
