I Want to Subscribe to a Skincare Box Now—These Ones Came Highly Recommended

Discovering new beauty products is a challenge right now. We're in an unprecedented time where IRL retail experiences have come to an abrupt halt and finding beauty products is happening exclusively online. Here at Who What Wear Beauty, we're committed to introducing you to the best hair, makeup, and skincare products in the game, but we understand that there's nothing like sampling and swatching things for yourself to see if you really like them.

Although shopping for our favorite items online is nothing new (we do it all the time), samples are an integral part of the beauty discovery experience. That's where skincare subscription boxes come in. These membership programs offer intermittent shipments of curated samples to introduce you to beauty items you haven't heard of yet or maybe just to keep you stocked up on minis to use for travel. Either way, they're a fun way to get new beauty products into your regimen without spending hundreds.

Now, more than ever, these handy boxes are the perfect solve for sampling beauty products before taking the plunge and purchasing the larger versions. To find out exactly which options are worth the coins, we tapped our Facebook community of readers from the Who What Wear Insiders group to get their thoughts on the best beauty boxes out there. Ahead, check out the nine they raved about most.

Associate Beauty Editor

Courtney Higgs is a Cancer sun, Libra rising beauty enthusiast with about six years of experience in the editorial space. She was previously Who What Wear's associate beauty editor after spending many years working on the West Coast edit team at InStyle Magazine. She graduated from California State University, Northridge, with a BA in communication studies and pivoted to editorial after spending her college years working in the legal field. Her beauty philosophy is simple: She believes there are no wrong answers and that discovering our favorite beauty products and rituals is a journey, not a sprint. When she's not geeking out over products, she can be found adventuring around L.A. with her fiancé; watching reality TV with their French bulldog, Bernie Mac; or relating way too hard to astrology memes.
