The top five essentials from Scarlett Johansson’s sensitive skincare line

Following her daily struggles with acne, Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson joined forces with entrepreneur Kate Foster to dream up the ultimate skincare solution for those struggling to achieve a blemish-free and radiant complexion. Focused on addressing the unique needs of sensitive skin, The Outset has become a go-to for those seeking gentle yet effective products. From soothing face masks to restorative creams, we’ve rounded up the top five essentials that you need to incorporate into your skincare routine this New Year.

Gentle Micellar Antioxidant Cleanser, £32

Infused with a blend of aminos and antioxidant fruits, this gentle micellar cleanser is a must-have for any skincare routine. Designed to gently lift away makeup, excess oil and impurities without disrupting your skin’s delicate balance, the gel consistency transforms into a luxurious foam to leave skin feeling fresh, hydrated and calm. Whether you’re starting or ending your day, this cleanser is the perfect first step for sensitive skin.

Purifying Blue Clay Mask, £46

Transform your self-care routine with The Outset’s luxurious blue clay mask, perfect for detoxifying and purifying your skin. As someone who has openly discussed their struggles with acne, Johansson has designed the ultimate blemish-fighting addition to your skincare collection. Gardenia and pansy extract, combined with hero ingredients like salicyclic acid and niacinamide work together to unclog pores and reveal glowing skin. The mask dries to a smooth finish without feeling drying on the skin unlike some clay face masks, making removal mess-free and ensuring skin is left smooth and hydrated. 

Botanical Barrier Rescue Balm, £36

For those battling dryness or irritation, this multi-tasking rescue balm is a lifesaver. Featuring the brand’s signature botanical alternative to hyaluronic acid, Hyaluroset Complex, this balm has a gorgeous, lightweight texture whilst still offering moisture and hydration to the skin. It’s the perfect size for on-the-go, and can be applied to lips, body, hands or nails whenever skin is in need of a little extra TLC.

Restorative Niacinamide Night Cream, £54

Wake up to radiant skin with this gorgeously rich night cream. Thanks to a blend of brightening niacinamide, bakuchiol and primrose oil, fine lines and wrinkles are improved while the skin’s texture is restored to give you a smooth and radiant complexion by the morning. If you’re looking for a cream that hydrates and strengthens the skin’s barrier without feeling greasy, then this night cream does just the trick.

Cool Cream Soothing Mask, £44

Ideal for sensitive or stressed-out skin, this soothing mask delivers an instant calming effect whilst offering deep hydration. Arnica and linseed come together with the powerful effects of electric daisy to deliver a cooling sensation on the skin – perfect as an added step in your pamper routine. Apply a thin layer to skin after cleansing, and sit back and relax while the mask does its magic, and after sinking into the skin for 15 minutes, simply rinse off to leave skin that is soft, supple and refreshed.
