Rihanna’s skincare line is everywhere. But does it actually work?
I used her viral toner serum for a month — not just when I remembered.
It’s a toner and serum in one. $32. Fenty Skin says it refines pores and smooths texture. My pores needed a referee.
Texture
Weird name, but accurate — it’s a viscous, milky water.
Scent
No added fragrance, but it smells faintly of clean, wet clay.
Packaging
The bottle is heavy glass. Feels luxe, but I’m terrified of dropping it.

It’s a niacinamide cocktail with some plant extracts. The goal: calm oil and blur pores.
- Niacinamide: The star — tackles oil and redness
- Kakadu Plum: Vitamin C for brightness
- Barbados Cherry: More vitamin C
- Australian Lemon Myrtle: A natural astringent
Feels slick going on — absorbs in under 15 seconds. Leaves a soft, slightly tight finish.
By week three, my midday shine was legitimately delayed. The surprise? It calmed my angry chin breakouts faster than anything else I’ve tried.
Pores look less like craters. Texture is smoother. But it’s not a miracle — blackheads are still hanging around.
This isn’t just a celebrity name on a bottle. It’s a solid, multitasking product that delivers on its main promise.
