As someone always on the lookout for products that actually work, I am thrilled to share three game-changing Canadian skincare brands that are redefining beauty routines. If your skincare shelf needs a little love, these picks will help you start fresh this season. Trust me, your skin will thank you.
Three Ships Beauty – Dew Drops + More
A Serum That Simplifies Everything
Let us talk about Three Ships’ Dew Drops. This serum is proof that you do not need a 12-step routine to glow. With Tremella mushroom hyaluronic acid and Kakadu plum Vitamin C, these drops are a hydration and brightening miracle. Seriously, my skin drinks this up.
What I love most is how Three Ships makes effective skincare easy. No fluff—just real science and plant-powered results. Plus, it works for everyone, whether you are dealing with dryness, dullness, or just looking to level up your skincare game.
Certified B Corp – Skincare with a Conscience
Three Ships, founded by Connie Lo and Laura Burget, is not just a brand; it is a movement. As a Certified B Corp, they are part of a tiny, elite group of skincare companies globally committed to social and environmental responsibility. Buying from them feels as good as using their products—guilt-free and glowing.
Glacyo – Amber Extract Eye Cream
Your New Secret Weapon for Bright Eyes
If your under-eye area is feeling less than fabulous, Glacyo’s Amber Extract Eye Cream is about to become your go-to. This luxurious formula reduces puffiness, smooths fine lines, and brightens dark circles with a blend of minerals, botanical oils, bakuchiol, and—you guessed it—amber extract.
I am obsessed with how it feels on the skin: rich but not heavy. It is like giving your under-eyes a spa day, every day.
Behind the Brand
Glacyo is the perfect blend of lifestyle and science. Created by Angelic Luong and Dr. Nhat Nguyen, this brand spent eight years researching ingredients from around the globe. Their star discoveries? Amber extract and glacial marine mineral water from Canada’s Pacific Northwest. The result is a luxurious, clean skincare line that turns daily rituals into moments of self-care.
First Base Skincare – Fresh Start Organic Essence
Ingredients That Deliver a Fresh Start
If you are into minimalistic skincare with maximum results, First Base Skincare’s Fresh Start Organic Essence is calling your name. Certified Cosmos Organic, this essence is a powerhouse of purifying, hydrating, and calming ingredients. Key players like hydrolyzed rice protein boost collagen production, chamomile extract speeds up cell renewal, and Rooibos Red Tea Extract soothes irritation. Add aloe vera and witch hazel to the mix, and you have a dreamy formula for an essentials reboot.
The best part? This product fits seamlessly into any routine—whether you are a skincare minimalist or a product junkie like me.
Meet the Founders
First Base Skincare is the brainchild of April Ferguson and Beth Hunt, two wellness enthusiasts who turned their personal skin struggles into a mission to redefine skincare. Their approach? Holistic wellness from the inside out. This brand is not just about products—it is about connecting your mind, gut, and skin for long-term results.
Time for a Fresh Start
Skincare is more than products—it is about creating rituals that nurture your skin and your soul. Whether you are drawn to First Base’s holistic philosophy, Three Ships’ simple yet effective formulas, or Glacyo’s luxurious approach, these Canadian brands are here to give your skin the fresh start it deserves.
So, what are you waiting for? Your glow-up starts now!
