The concept behind Beauty Pie couldn’t be more simple—or more brilliant. Think of it as a beauty membership club where you can buy premium skincare, makeup, and more at members-only prices, without the usual luxury markups. By collaborating with over 50 third-party labs, Beauty Pie offers the same high-quality formulas used by prestige brands, but at a fraction of the cost. No middlemen, no sky-high margins.
Who’s Behind Beauty Pie?
Meet Marcia Kilgore, the beauty industry legend who’s already revolutionized our skincare routines more than once. She’s the mastermind behind Bliss Spa, the creator of the iconic Soap & Glory, and the inventor of FitFlops. All three were wildly successful and acquired by major companies. Now, with Beauty Pie, she’s tackling the luxury beauty industry head-on—making high-quality products accessible to everyone.
How Beauty Pie Works
Here’s how it works: You sign up for a Beauty Pie membership for just $59 a year, which unlocks the sweet, sweet savings—up to 70% off luxury products. Whether you’re looking for skincare, haircare, makeup, or even fragrance, Beauty Pie offers premium formulas directly from the same labs that supply top luxury brands. And if you’re not ready to commit to a membership, you can still shop at non-member prices—usually around 50% less than retail.
To sweeten the deal, Beauty Pie offers a 60-day trial period so you can try out the platform and the products before fully committing.
After testing several products, I was impressed by both the quality and the affordability. Here’s my take on three standouts:
Super Healthy Skin v2.0 Review
The Super Healthy Skin v2.0 is the revamped version of Beauty Pie’s best-selling moisturizer, and though I didn’t try the original, I’m loving this one. It’s a multitasking moisturizer that hydrates, brightens, plumps fine lines, and revitalizes dull-looking skin. And at just $33 for members, it’s a steal.
The texture is creamy and smooth with a barely-there spa-like scent that’s both clean and uplifting. It glides effortlessly onto the skin, absorbing with a dry-touch finish, leaving you with that “snatched” face feeling rather than a dewy look.
The formula is no-nonsense, designed for both day and night use. It includes 2% Niacinamide and Vitamin C derivative (Ascorbyl Methylsilanol Pectinate) to tackle hyperpigmentation, plus Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E, and antioxidant-rich plant extracts to deliver deep moisture and protection against environmental UV aggressors. If your skin is on the drier side, it might not be rich enough, but for my normal-to-combination skin, it’s a perfect fit.
Bonus: It’s made in Switzerland, and yes, that does elevate it in my book.
Super Retinol Cream+ Review
If you’re new to retinol or have struggled with irritation from retinoids in the past, Super Retinol Cream+ is a gentle yet effective introduction. Beauty Pie has packed this night cream with 1% Encapsulated Retinol, which uses time-release technology to minimize irritation while delivering steady, long-term results. Steady being a keyword because in order to see results of any retinol-powered formula, you have to be patient. And consistent!
This retinol cream also contains Ferulic Acid, Ascorbic Acid, and two other Vitamin C derivatives, all working together to brighten skin, boost collagen production, and fight free radical damage. Despite all this, it’s surprisingly non-irritating—making it suitable for all skin types, even those prone to sensitivity.
As a seasoned retinoid user, I tested this formula in various ways—sometimes without an additional moisturizer, sometimes with a richer cream on top—and my skin loved it. No redness, uncomfortable tightness or flaking–just glowing, smooth skin. At $29 for 50ml, this is one of the best budget-friendly retinol creams on the market.
Traceless UVA/UVB SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen + Primer Review
Let’s be honest: finding a great mineral sunscreen that feels good on the skin can be tricky. But Beauty Pie’s Traceless UVA/UVB SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen + Primer does the job beautifully. This silky, broad-spectrum SPF uses 14.2% Zinc Oxide for UV protection, without relying on chemical filters. No sneaking in undisclosed SPF boosters either.
What sets it apart is the texture—this sunscreen absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth with a barely-there primer-like finish. It’s lightweight and non-greasy, and thanks to complexion-enhancing ingredients like Niacinamide (for brightening), Bisabolol (for soothing), and Argan Oil (for nourishing), it feels more like a luxury skincare product than a typical SPF.
Even after multiple reapplications (yes, I tested it all day long even though I do not reapply SPF during the day IRL), the product did not pill. At just $22 for 50ml, this is a mineral sunscreen you will adore and repurchase again and again.
