As a beauty YouTuber and blogger, I buy, receive and test a LOT of skincare products. I’m always on the hunt for products that produce even the slightest change in my skin and am constantly comparing new products to my current favorites. I’ve said many times that as an independent online brand, I feel Colleen Rothschild is often overshadowed by more well-known brands carried by larger retailers. The first time I tried Colleen Rothschild products, I knew there was something special about them.
When I think of Colleen Rothschild products, what comes to mind is hydration without greasiness, amazing masks and scrubs, and effective anti-aging products. Though I love loads of her products, today, I’m super excited to share seven of my favorite products that I think are great to start with if you’ve never tried her line.

My Skin Type
I’m 44 and have sensitive, combination skin with an oily t-zone. I also have rosacea and can tell very quickly if a face product doesn’t work for me because of how my rosacea reacts. Although I have oily/combo skin, my under eye area is dry, as is my body skin.
I typically test a skincare product for at least four weeks before giving a solid review on it. And even if a product doesn’t work out for me personally, I’m usually able to recommend other skin types for which it may work. However, I’ve been using most Colleen Rothschild products for a long time now.
7 Colleen Rothschild Products to Start With
RESTORATIVE HAND CREAM – I know, I know…hand cream is hand cream, right? Wrong! I’ve always had dry hands. This, combined with the extra hand washing lately, would normally make my hands extra dry. I can’t stand greasy hand creams or hand creams that feel good when you apply but then leave you feeling like you applied nothing ten minutes later. I also don’t want to have a strong scent in my hand cream. Colleen Rothschild Restorative Hand Cream is rich yet not greasy and moisturizes my hands perfectly. It’s also got a lovely fragrance that’s not overpowering. It feels luxurious and is totally worth the price. Read more about it HERE.
RETINOL SUPREME NIGHT OIL – Several years ago, this was the first Colleen Rothschild product I ever tried. I fell in love immediately! If you’re new to retinol or have sensitive skin, this is perfect for you! This made with the highest concentration of stabilized retinol, vitamin C, and nine plant-based oils. It’s designed to improve skin tone and texture and discoloration. This is a great way to incorporate retinol into your nighttime routine without incurring the dryness and peeling skin that usually comes with it. Read more about it HERE.
RETINOL SUPREME EYE SERUM: I have dry sensitive skin around my eyes. I’m super picky about nighttime eye creams because I need them to be effective for fine lines and wrinkles yet not be so heavy that they give me milia or a reaction. This eye serum is nourishing and moisturizing while it truly does great things for the under-eye area in terms of anti-aging. In addition to the retinol, Colleen uses an ingredient called Saloprine, which increases moisture levels by 6000% in just 28 days. I don’t know about you, but I can use all the moisture I can get under my eyes so the area stays youthful, plump, and fresh looking. Read more about it HERE.
CLARIFYING DETOX MASK – This is one of my favorite masks! It combines charcoal, glycolic acid, vitamin C, and other beneficial ingredients to clear pores, increase cell turnover, and brighten and soothe the skin. I love that it truly does detoxify my skin without drying. It’s a beautiful mask for any skin type. Read more about it HERE.
BODY BUTTER – I don’t get my hopes up with body lotions and creams because I have such dry body skin with dry patches that can flare up if I don’t use just the right product. I can’t even begin to tell you how much these body butters surprised me. Both scents are beautiful in different ways and contain Brazilian murumuru and Bacuri butters along with five nutrient-dense oils and other ingredients that are designed to lock in moisture and benefit the skin. The whipped texture is truly lovely. My skin feels fully moisturized and nourished. You can read more about Honey Vanilla HERE and Tahitian Monoi HERE.
QUENCH & SHINE DELUXE SIZE MINI SET – Colleen recently introduced haircare to her line of products. This TSA-friendly set is perfect for gifting, trying them out, or traveling. Included are the Quench & Shine Restorative Shampoo, Quench & Shine Restorative Mask, Smooth & Shine Hair Serum, and pink wide-tooth detangling comb. I’m loving these products so far. The hair mask is working its way up to being one of my favorites ever. It has rich butters and oils to strengthen hair, smooth split-ends, and reduce frizz. Read more about this set HERE.
MICRO-MINERAL SOOTHING TONER – This is such an underrated product, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin or have felt like other toners strip your skin. The Soothing Toner is also great for irritated skin. It uses the power of crystals to soften, soothe, and condition sensitive or irritated skin. The natural minerals also help support a healthy skin barrier. It leaves my skin feeling balanced and calm every time I use it. Read about it HERE.
While I have many Colleen Rothschild favorites, the above products are ones I think are great for anyone to start with!

THANK YOU TO COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD FOR SPONSORING THIS POST. AS ALWAYS, ALL ALL OPINIONS ARE 100% MY OWN!
I love Colleen Rothschild, thanks to you, Angie, Anne, Lisa J and Marnie. 🙂 The hand cream is on the way but now I’m intrigued about the eye treatment and toner. My rosacea loves the renewal cream so I may have to try them! I also love her hydrating spray to use for setting powder foundation on dry skin. And, I’m obsessed with the hair products!
I 100% agree with you; Colleen Rothschild is a line that is often overshadowed. However, I think her customers are some of the most loyal around! The Radiant Cleansing balm pulled me in, but I found so many reasons to stay! My top 5 CR products: Balancing gel cleanser, Retinol Supreme eye serum, Micro Mineral resurfacing scrub (replaced my Dr. Brandt!), Glycolic acid peel pads, and Sheer Renewal cream. It is so hard to pick five- and the best part of her products is the scent. I am very scent- driven in my product selection; unlike a lot of people, I like scent in my product but not overwhelming scent. The scent in her products is sublime!! I love supporting a female-owned business also. So much to love about Colleen Rothschild!
