From your face to your bikini line, First Aid Beauty has products to soothe your skin
From Supergoop’s array of sun care protection to Olaplex’s hardworking haircare, we were introduced to a number of Sephora-fave brands in the Philippines in 2023. Now, we’re welcoming the Sensitive Skin Specialists, First Aid Beauty. If you have sensitive skin, and maybe even struggle with skin issues like eczema, the brand is committed to providing everyday essentials that will help your skin reach its full potential.
First Aid Beauty formulated their skincare with love and safety in mind, adhering to these core standards: being safe for sensitive skin, using clean ingredients, being cruelty-free, having no artificial fragrance and being dermatologically tested.
Here are essential products to cop from First Aid Beauty:

For First Aid Beauty user Ayla, it’s the best product for eczema that you can ever buy. She writes, “I have been using this product for around three to four years now, and I can't even begin to explain the improvements I've seen in my eczema since using this. I've had severe eczema since I was a child and have tried every lotion and cream on the market with no lasting results. Since switching to this product, I have gone from severe to just mild eczema and it has truly changed my life. It's better than the dermatologist-prescribed steroid creams I used to use!
