Friends of Credo Sale Details

The Friends of Credo Sale runs April 27 through May 3 and includes 20% off sitewide.

Meet Credo: The Clean Beauty Destination

If you’re newer to the world of clean beauty, Credo is basically the gold standard of where to shop. Founded in 2014 by a team of clean-beauty pioneers, their mission has always been simple but powerful: make safer, high-performing beauty products accessible — without compromising on ingredients, ethics, or that little touch of luxury we all love.

What sets Credo apart is their incredibly strict Clean Standard. Every single product they carry is held to their “no compromise” ingredient policy, meaning it’s free of more than 2,700 potentially harmful or questionable ingredients (a.k.a. their famous “Dirty List”). Translation? No sneaky chemicals hiding in the fine print, just beauty products that are actually good for your skin and your conscience.

What I love about shopping at Credo is that their curation already does the heavy lifting for you. Whether you’re browsing makeup, skincare, hair care, or body products, you can trust that everything meets their clean beauty standards. It’s perfect if you care about sustainability, quality, and ingredient transparency but don’t want to spend hours decoding labels.

Skincare Favorites

Skincare is where Credo really shines for me. If I had to recommend one skincare product from this entire post, it would probably be the Goop Microderm Instant Glow Exfoliator. I own this one and absolutely love it. It leaves skin feeling incredibly smooth, refreshed, and noticeably brighter without feeling overly harsh. It’s one of those products that gives you that “my skin looks really good today” feeling.

Another product I use regularly is the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray. This has earned permanent status in my routine because it’s simple, soothing, and easy to reach for whenever my skin needs a little extra support. For hydration, I’ve used and enjoyed products like the Indie Lee CoQ-10 Toner, which layers beautifully into a skincare routine and feels especially nice when skin is leaning dry or dull.

I’m also including a few understated favorites here that deserve more attention, including the Follain Eye Cream and Follain Lip Balm. They’re simple, effective staples that fit beautifully into an everyday routine. The Goopgenes Clean Nourishing Lip Balm Trio also deserves a mention. I keep lip products everywhere, and these are comfortable, nourishing, and easy to reach for throughout the day.

Body Care Favorites

Body care is one of those categories that can quietly make your routine feel so much more elevated, and Credo has some really good options. A standout for me is the OSEA Undaria Algae Body Oil, which I currently own and highly recommend. It leaves skin soft, hydrated, and glowy without feeling heavy or greasy. If you’ve been wanting to level up your body care routine, this is a beautiful place to start.

I also love the OSEA Salts of the Earth Body Scrub, especially when my skin needs a good reset. It feels spa-like in the best way.

Two products from Credo’s own line that are worth highlighting are the Seascape Ceramide Body Serum and Submerge Green Algae Body Cream. If your skin tends to run dry, these are great products to layer into your routine. The BIOTYSPA Body Sculpt Kit is another favorite that feels a little more special and would make a fun purchase during the sale.

For everyday staples, I’ve also used and enjoyed Nécessaire The Body Wash, Nécessaire The Hand Cream, and Follain Body Scrub.

Hair Care Favorites

My hair routine is fairly simple, but I’m always looking for products that support healthy hair, hydration, and shine without weighing everything down. The Nécessaire Rosemary Shampoo and Conditioner are two products I currently recommend most from this category. They feel fresh, nourishing, and fit nicely into an everyday haircare routine.

If you’re looking for something a little different, the Goop G.Tox Himalayan Salt Scalp Scrub Shampoo is an absolute favorite. It’s great at removing build-up, especially after heavy product days!

I’ve also used several products from ROZ over the years and continue to recommend the brand. The ROZ Santa Lucia Styling Oil and ROZ Milk Hair Serum are great options if you like softer, polished styling products that add shine and smoothness without feeling heavy. If you’re curious about trying ROZ but don’t know where to start, the ROZ Mini Essentials set is honestly such a good entry point. It’s one of my most recommended picks from this category and an easy way to test some of the brand’s bestselling products before committing to full sizes.

Makeup Favorites

My makeup routine tends to stay fairly consistent, and I gravitate toward products that create a natural, glowy finish without requiring a million steps.

If I had to pick two standout products from this category, it would be the Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick and Westman Atelier Face Trace Contour Stick. I own both and genuinely reach for them constantly. The blush gives that fresh, healthy flush that somehow looks polished and effortless at the same time, and the contour stick adds soft definition without ever looking harsh or overly sculpted. They’re the kind of products that make your makeup look better with very little effort.

For complexion, I’ve used both the Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation and Ilia True Skin Serum Concealer in the past and still think they’re beautiful formulas if you prefer lightweight, skin-like coverage. They wear comfortably, blend easily, and fit perfectly into a more natural makeup routine.

I’m also a longtime fan of the Kosas Cloud Set Powder, which I currently own and use regularly. It sets makeup beautifully while still letting your skin look like skin. Paired with the Kosas Air Brow Gel, which gives brows a soft, lifted finish without feeling crunchy, it makes everyday makeup feel incredibly easy.

A few more favorites worth adding to your radar include the RMS Hydra Powder Blush for a luminous cheek moment, Ilia Limitless Lash Mascara, and the Kosas Plump & Juicy Lip Booster, which has become one of my favorite low-maintenance lip products.

And if you’re looking for a truly good makeup brush, the EXA All In Complexion Brush Set and Saie The Big Brush for Buffing are two tools I genuinely recommend. Good brushes make such a difference in application, and these help everything blend seamlessly.
