Rihanna’s brand built its name on inclusive shades and products that earn a permanent place in your routine. With so many launches spread across face, lip, and body categories, finding the ones worth your shelf space takes some sifting. This guide walks you through eight well-loved picks, explains what each one actually does for your skin or makeup look, and pairs every option with the routine it fits.
An Overview Of The Picks
A Deeper Look At The Lineup
The Total Clean’r sits at the front door of a Fenty routine, and for good reason. It pulls double duty as both a daily face wash and a makeup remover, so you skip the second-step cleanse that most routines demand. The formula handles foundation, SPF, and that stubborn mascara at the end of a long day without leaving skin feeling stripped or tight.
If your evening routine keeps getting shorter because life is busy, this cleanser fits that reality. It plays nicely after the highlighter and gloss picks below, since removing shimmer-heavy makeup usually takes two products. One pump tends to cover a full face, which keeps the bottle lasting longer than you might expect.
A Few Highlights
- Two-in-one format removes makeup and cleans skin in a single step.
- Leaves a clean feel without the tight, squeaky sensation harsher washes leave behind.
- A little goes a long way, so one bottle stretches through months of nightly use.
- Plays well as a first step before serums and moisturizers in a layering routine.
Things To Consider
- Those who wear heavy stage or theatrical makeup may still want a dedicated oil cleanse first.
- The bottle opening can dispense more product than necessary with an enthusiastic squeeze.
Who It Suits Best
Nightly routine simplifiers who want to remove makeup and cleanse in one step without drying out their skin.
Look Elsewhere When
The Dermalogica Skin Resurfacing Cleanser suits people who want built-in exfoliation along with their daily cleanse.
The Fenty Treatz Lip Oil in Kalahari Melon is built around deep moisture rather than just a glossy finish. Jojoba seed oil and rosehip fruit oils sit at the front of the formula, two ingredients that mimic the natural lipids in your lips and help lock in hydration over time. Barbados Cherry and Wild Cherry extracts add a vitamin-rich layer that conditions rather than coats.
You can wear this oil solo on no-makeup days, or layer it over one of the gloss picks in this lineup if you want shine plus treatment. For anyone whose lips peel in cold weather or feel rough from constant matte lipstick, the barrier-strengthening angle gives this a real edge over a standard gloss.
The Good Stuff
- Jojoba and rosehip oils deliver deep, lasting hydration instead of a slick that evaporates quickly.
- Cherry extracts condition lips over weeks of consistent use, not just minutes after application.
- Wears comfortably under or over lipstick without balling up.
- Plumps the look of lips naturally, no tingling required.
Worth Noting
- The shine is more subtle than the Glossy Posse trio, so anyone wanting bold shine may want to layer it.
- You will need to reapply throughout the day since oils absorb rather than sit on the surface.
Made For
People with dry, flake-prone lips who want treatment benefits alongside a natural-looking sheen.
Consider Something Else When
The Glossy Posse Volume 7.0 Full-Size Gloss Bomb Trio suits shoppers who want three full-size color options rather than a single treatment-focused oil.
The Glossy Posse Volume 7.0 set bundles three full-size glosses, which makes it feel less like a sample and more like a complete lip wardrobe. You get the fan-favorite Fenty Glow and Hot Cherry alongside Dragon Mami, a shimmering bright coral that adds a holiday-ready pop. Each gloss leans on shea butter and Vitamin E for hydration, so the formula feels cushioned rather than sticky.
This trio works for someone who rotates between nude, berry, and bold coral lips depending on the day. You can layer shades for a custom look, or wear each one solo. Compared to the single Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer further down this list, this set covers more occasions in one purchase.
A Strong Showing
- Three full-size tubes mean no tiny sample disappointment, just real product to use up.
- Shea butter and Vitamin E keep lips soft, even after a full day of wear.
- The shade range covers everyday, classic, and statement looks.
- High-shine finish reads as polished in photos, which matters for content days.
Trade Offs
- The Dragon Mami coral shade skews bold, so anyone who avoids color may not reach for it often.
- Storage takes more room than a single gloss tube, which matters for small vanities.
Best Suited To
Shoppers building a lip wardrobe who want nude, berry, and a statement shade in one bundle.
Skip It When
The Fenty Skin Treatz Hydrating Lip Oil in Kalahari Melon suits anyone prioritizing lip treatment over color variety.
The Jergens Deep Restoring lotion stretches a generous 16.8 fluid ounces, which makes it practical for full-body daily use. Argan oil and Vitamin E lead the ingredient list, two additions that help the formula feel richer than a basic lotion without crossing into heavy body butter territory. The texture absorbs fairly quickly, so you can apply in the morning and get dressed without waiting around.
This is the kind of bottle you keep on the bathroom shelf rather than treat as a special occasion product. It rounds out a routine that starts with the Fenty Skin cleanser and ends with body hydration. For dry skin days through winter, the oil infusion gives the formula enough substance to feel restorative rather than just surface-level.
Noteworthy Benefits
- Argan oil and Vitamin E provide moisture that lasts through the workday.
- The 16.8 fl oz size offers good value for daily body use.
- Absorbs fast enough to layer under clothing without sticky residue.
- Works well after showering when skin still has some surface dampness.
Points To Keep In Mind
- The scent is light but present, so fragrance-sensitive users should sample first.
- Very dry patches on elbows or knees may need a heavier cream layered on top.
Right Fit For
Anyone building a daily body care routine who wants reliable moisture from a generously sized bottle.
A Better Fit Elsewhere
The Fenty Skin Set with Hydra Vizor moisturizer suits shoppers who want face and body treatment bundled into one purchase.
The Dermalogica Skin Resurfacing Cleanser pulls in lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that loosens the bonds between dead skin cells so they rinse away cleanly. Rose Flower Oil and antioxidants round out the formula, which keeps the experience from feeling harsh despite the resurfacing action. At 5.1 fluid ounces, the bottle lasts longer than most daily exfoliating washes because you only need a small amount.
Compared to the Fenty Skin Total Clean’r reviewed above, the Dermalogica adds an exfoliating step to your daily cleanse. Anyone whose skin looks dull or feels rough from product buildup will notice the difference within a couple of weeks. It works especially well during seasonal transitions when dead skin tends to accumulate faster.
What Earns Its Place
- Lactic acid resurfaces gently without the scratchy grit of physical scrubs.
- Rose Flower Oil and antioxidants condition skin while the AHA does the heavy lifting.
- Doubles as a cleanser and exfoliant, so your routine stays efficient.
- The 5.1 fl oz bottle delivers good value for an exfoliating formula.
Honest Caveats
- Daily AHA use calls for consistent SPF during the day since exfoliated skin is more sun-sensitive.
- Reactive or rosacea-prone skin may find even a gentle AHA too frequent.
Who Should Grab It
People with dull or textured skin who want exfoliation built into their daily cleansing step.
Reach For A Different Pick When
The Fenty Skin Total Clean’r Remove-It-All Cleanser is the better match for sensitive skin that needs cleansing without active exfoliation.
The Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter Duo pairs two shades that work together rather than compete. Girl Next Door brings a soft pink sheen for daytime, while Chic Phreak delivers a peachy pink shimmer that reads as bolder once the light catches. The cream-powder hybrid texture melts into skin on contact, so you skip the patchy buildup that powder highlighters sometimes leave behind.
This duo pairs naturally with the Fenty Skin Hydra Vizor from the starter set below, since a moisturizer-smooth base gives highlighter something to glide over. The packaging holds two pans, which keeps your kit lean. You get enough product in 0.12 ounce pans to last through many applications, even with daily use.
Advantages To Know
- Two shades cover subtle daytime looks plus statement cheekbone moments.
- The cream-powder hybrid feels weightless and wears comfortably through long days.
- Buildable coverage lets you control intensity from a natural glow to full shine.
- Works well over liquid foundation, cream blush, or bare skin.
Some Limits To Know
- The pans are small at 0.12 ounces each, so heavy daily users will go through them faster than expected.
- Oily skin may need setting powder to keep the shimmer in place through humid weather.
Whose Shelf It Belongs On
Anyone wanting a soft and a bold highlighter in one compact for varied makeup moods.
Swap It Out When
The Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in Riri is the better fit when you want a single everyday lip product rather than face highlighter.
The Fenty Skin Set bundles four full steps into one box, which makes it the easiest on-ramp into the brand’s skincare line. The Total Clean’r removes makeup, Fat Water acts as a pore-refining toner serum, and Hydra Vizor brings lightweight invisible moisture. The Whipped Oil Body Cream sample rounds out body care so you can test the routine head to toe before committing to full sizes.
This set removes the guesswork for newcomers who want to try the Fenty approach without buying four products separately. The Fat Water toner serum steps in as a hybrid product, meaning it tones and treats in one application. Anyone curious about layering order gets a tested sequence here, since the products are designed to work in this exact stack.
Everyday Wins
- Four-step routine arrives in one package, removing the need to research layering order.
- Fat Water doubles as a toner and treatment serum, saving a step.
- Hydra Vizor leaves an invisible finish that works under makeup or SPF.
- The body cream sample lets you test the full experience before buying a larger size.
What To Weigh
- The sizes run smaller than standalone bottles, so you may run out of favorites faster.
- Buying the set only makes sense if you plan to use all four steps.
Built With In Mind
Newcomers to Fenty Skin who want a complete starter routine in one purchase.
Where Another Pick Suits Better
The Dermalogica Skin Resurfacing Cleanser is a better match for anyone wanting exfoliating action as part of their skincare base.
The Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in Riri is the single-tube version of the brand’s bestselling gloss. The shade is intentionally universal, meaning it adjusts across a range of skin tones without washing anyone out. The 0.3 ounce tube holds enough product for months of regular wear, and the doe-foot applicator glides on without tugging at the lips.
This is the entry-level gloss from the brand, sitting one rung below the Glossy Posse trio. Anyone who wants the Fenty gloss experience without picking between three shades will find this single tube covers most everyday moments. It pairs easily with the Killawatt Highlighter Duo above for a full Fenty face look.
Key Advantages
- Universal shade flatters a wide range of skin tones without color-matching guesswork.
- The 0.3 oz tube size delivers value for daily wearers.
- Easy glide applicator means quick reapplication throughout the day.
- Works alone for a natural look or layered over lipstick for shine.
Practical Considerations
- Only one shade means no variety, so shoppers wanting nude, berry, and coral will need separate tubes.
- The glossy finish transfers onto cups and masks, so touch-ups come with the territory.
Perfect Match For
Anyone wanting a single everyday gloss that flatters most skin tones without committing to a full set.
Not Your Match When
The Glossy Posse Volume 7.0 Full-Size Gloss Bomb Trio is the better pick for those wanting three shades in one purchase.
Picking The Right Routine From This Lineup
Building a routine around Fenty Beauty products comes down to what your skin and makeup habits actually demand. Start with the cleanser or set that matches your daily commitment level, then layer in targeted treatments and finishing products from there.
Know Your Skin’s Starting Point
Your skin type sets the foundation for everything else. Oily or combination skin tends to do well with lighter layers like the Hydra Vizor moisturizer, while drier skin types benefit from richer treatments such as the Jergens argan body lotion for body care and the Fenty Treatz lip oil for lips. Identifying whether you need oil control, hydration, or resurfacing helps narrow the lineup fast.
Match Products To Your Real Routine
A four-step set like the Fenty Skin Set works well for newcomers who want a tested sequence. Established routines may only need a single swap, like adding the Dermalogica resurfacing cleanser for exfoliation or the Killawatt highlighter duo for finishing color. Consider how many minutes your morning actually allows, since a 10-step routine sounds appealing but rarely survives a busy week.
Color Choices That Earn Their Space
For makeup, shade flexibility matters more than chasing every new launch. Universal formulas like the Gloss Bomb in Riri suit anyone who doesn’t want to color-match. Shade-specific bundles like the Glossy Posse trio reward shoppers who rotate between nude, berry, and bolder looks throughout the week.
Long-Term Wear And Care
Higher-use items like cleansers and body lotion need to fit into your bathroom storage and refill rhythm. Liquids and serums last longer than expected when stored away from direct sunlight, while powder-based products like the Killawatt duo stay fresh with simple brush cleaning between uses. Choose packaging sizes that match how often you actually replace products.
Where Shoppers Slip Up And How To Dodge It
A few patterns show up often enough to flag them here. Watching for these keeps your routine on track.
Common Shopping Slip Ups
Buying full sizes before sampling the formula is the most frequent misstep. Start with a set like the Fenty Skin Set to test layering order before committing to four standalone bottles. Another trap is mixing too many active ingredients at once. Pairing the Dermalogica resurfacing cleanser with other strong acids can leave skin reactive, so introduce one exfoliant at a time.
What The Higher Tier Buys
Stepping up to fuller sizes or richer formulas usually costs more because the ingredient concentrations increase or the packaging delivers more product per purchase. The Killawatt duo costs more than a single highlighter because you get two shades in one compact. For daily wearers, the upgrade pays off through longer use between replacements, while occasional users often do fine with smaller sizes or single-shade picks.
