The Dieux Team’s Most-Loved Beauty Products

Working at a beauty brand means you’re not just into beauty—it’s a part of your life. And with that comes a very discerning eye. Not every new launch makes the cut, and only a few products earn a permanent spot in your rotation. 

In case you’re curious as to what beauty products actually live up to the hype, we asked our team to share the favorites they genuinely can’t imagine their routines without. Below, you’ll find a list that includes a mix of Dieux staples and standout picks from other brands that we reach for time and time again.

Ama Kwarteng, Freelance Editorial Copywriter

Favorite Dieux Product: Skin Mercy Recovery Cream

“I’m currently engaged in Operation Fix My Hip Flexors, which means that on most mornings, I swaddle my body in several layers of clothing before making the journey through the frozen tundra that is New York City to one of the several yoga and pilates studios currently in my workout rotation. 

“In addition to protecting my body from the elements, I have to shield my face from the many indecencies of winter weather, and right now Skin Mercy is my go-to moisturizer. (It’s currently sold out, but you can join the waitlist here!) I apply it underneath a layer of Vaseline and together, the two keep my skin barrier plump, healthy, and hydrated.”

Other Favorite Beauty Product: Victoria Beckham Beauty 21:50 Rêverie Eau de Parfum

“I have chosen to remain neutral in the fight between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a soft spot for Victoria Beckham. This isn’t just because she is a Spice Girl—though that helps—but because her beauty brand is behind one of my favorite fragrances. The scent, which I’d describe as a soft, smoky vanilla, is a compliment magnet. It’s also long-lasting, but it won’t assault the nostrils of those around you.”

Alexa Mansur, Project Manager

Favorite Dieux Products: Air Angel Gel Cream and Instant Angel Moisturizer

“My favorite Dieux products are Air Angel and Instant Angel. Not only have they transformed my skin, but they’ve also boosted my confidence. My skin has never looked better—I constantly get compliments from friends and even strangers asking about my skincare routine. I have very dry skin, especially during the colder months, and these products keep my skin feeling deeply hydrated, healthy, and glowy.” [Author’s note: Save some money and buy these two together in our Moisture Wardrobe Duo.]

Other Favorite Beauty Product: Kiehl’s Better Screen UV Serum Facial Sunscreen

“Protecting your skin is essential, and I love that this sunscreen doesn’t feel heavy on my face, even under makeup. The texture is amazing, and it never causes breakouts.”

Ally Feeney, Brand Marketing Manager

Favorite Dieux Product: Baptism Gel Cleanser in Woodsy Bergamot

“Our Baptism Cleanser with a Woodsy Bergamot fragrance is an unsung hero! I am not exaggerating when I say it is the step I look forward to most in the shower—it has completely changed the way I look at face wash. It has the yummiest lather and doesn’t leave me with that squeaky clean, dry feeling. I also wish I could douse my body in this scent, it’s that good.”

Other Favorite Beauty Product: Eadem Le Chouchou in Boba Bounce

“I’m a true lip combo connoisseur—I wake up with lip liner on—and Eadem Le Chou Chou is the first true lip balm I've found that delivers on both moisturization and color pay off (I am not one for a sheer lip!). Boba Bounce is my dream mauve-brown color, and I don't need to constantly reapply every 20 minutes. I've gone through four tubes since August.”

Charlotte Palermino, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer

Favorite Dieux Products: Deliverance 3-in-1 Repair Serum and Instant Angel Moisturizer

“Deliverance will always be my favorite Dieux product!!! It was my stepping stone into tolerating more intense skincare and it has transformed my skin—judging from my iCloud memories, my face is glowing more than ever. Paired with Instant Angel, it’s truly my made-in-heaven combo.” [Author’s Note: Opt for the Repair & Firm Duo and get both of these picks for less.]

Other Favorite Beauty Product: Skin Rocks The Gentle Acid Toner

“Skin Rocks Gentle Acid Toner is INCREDIBLE. It’s gentle enough for me to use daily and gives my skin such a smooth texture.”

Clarissa Gordon, Senior Customer Experience Manager

Favorite Dieux Product: Baptism Gel Cleanser

“Lately, I've been gravitating towards Baptism to gently cleanse after a long day or to freshen up in the morning. I love how my face doesn't feel stripped after cleansing.” 

Other Favorite Beauty Product: Tula Protect and Glow Daily Sunscreen Gel 

“This dewy sunscreen is so underrated. I love it under my makeup or on its own. The glow it gives is unreal.”

Coco Lashar, Digital Designer

Favorite Dieux Products: Skin Mercy Recovery Cream and Ethereal Cleansing Oil

“My favorite Dieux product is Skin Mercy. It's insanely hydrating and has saved my skin from feeling tight and dry this winter. My second favorite is Ethereal. It takes off my makeup so quickly, a godsend after a long day or late night.”

Other Favorite Beauty Product: The Nue Co Mind Energy Functional Fragrance

“My favorite everyday fragrance is The Nue Co's Mind Energy. It's bright and warm and it makes me feel awake when I spritz it on. I never get sick of the smell. It also reminds me of a trip I took to Budapest one autumn, so it's become a nostalgic scent for me.”

Suriya Shogren, Head of Content and Social Media

Favorite Dieux Product: Deliverance 3-in-1 Repair Serum

“I struggle with dark spots and Deliverance has really helped visibly lighten them. It's one of those products that I take for granted in my routine because, even if there isn't an immediate payoff, if I ever run out, that's when I notice an immediate difference, and I have to run to restock!”

Other Favorite Skincare Product(s): Lore Something but nowhere Eau de Parfum

“I've never been a consistent perfume wearer until this scent. It's so subtle and doesn't overpower or overwhelm.”

Becca Perry, Formulation & Product Development Manager

Favorite Dieux Product: Deliverance 3-in-1 Repair Serum

“As a redhead with a tendency for redness, I cannot live without Deliverance! I've been using Deliverance since launch (before I worked at Dieux!) and it has changed my skin for the better. My skin is soothed, less reactive, and more radiant.”

Other Favorite Beauty Product: KJH Hyper Shine Lite Pigment in Lite Pink

“I absolutely adore the KJH Hypershine Lite Pigment in Lite Pink. It is the most beautiful highlighter I've ever used and it gives a natural lit-from-within glow. I also love that you can build it up for a more dramatic, editorial look.”

Kelsey Duchesne, Senior Copywriter

Favorite Dieux Product: Skin Mercy Recovery Cream

“My favorite Dieux product is Skin Mercy; it's so soothing and has saved my skin from being dry and chapped this winter. I've also been using it on my heels and elbows—two areas that tend to get dry and cracked in the colder months—and I've been so amazed by how healing it's been. My husband also uses it after shaving and now keeps stealing it...he may need his own dedicated tube.”

Other Favorite Beauty Products: EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Face Sunscreen and Merit The Minimalist Foundation Stick

“I love the Elta MD UV Clear tinted face sunscreen. It offers a soft, natural-looking skin tint, and the formula feels light and breathable. I layer it over Instant Angel, add a few swipes of my Merit Minimalist Foundation Stick, and I'm ready to go!”

Molly Fritz, Art Director

Favorite Dieux Product: Instant Angel Moisturizer

“I cannot live without Dieux's Instant Angel Moisturizer. It has done wonders for my dry skin by keeping it looking and feeling hydrated all day long. I have to carry a mini with me in my purse everywhere I go, just in case.”

Other Favorite Beauty Product: Crown Affair The Dry Shampoo

“Lately, I've been loving Crown Affair's dry shampoo. It really gives my hair a refreshed feel and smells amazing. I also love the little application brush it comes with—so cute!”

Dayna Garcia, Executive Assistant

Favorite Dieux Products: Ethereal Cleansing Oil, Forever Eye Mask, and Auracle Eye Serum

“I love Ethereal because after spending an hour putting on a full face of makeup, it only takes about one minute to completely wash it off. It's such a game-changer.

“Let's also not forget about the Forever Eye Mask and Auracle combo that makes me feel so hydrated (and cute).”

Other Favorite Beauty Product: Hanyul Yuja Brightening Sleeping Mask

“I like using Hanyul’s Yuja Brightening Sleeping Mask because it smells so good, feels so smooth, and I wake up glowing!”

Lesley Leung, Head of Sales & Business Development

Favorite Dieux Products: Deliverance 3-in-1 Repair Serum and Instant Angel Moisturizer

“My favorite Dieux products are the powerful duo of Deliverance and Instant Angel. Like my morning cup of coffee, Deliverance is the step I look forward to most in my skincare routine because of its instant calming and soothing effect. I follow it with Instant Angel to deeply nourish my skin. I love its texture—rich but never greasy—and how beautifully it absorbs, leaving my skin feeling hydrated and balanced.”

Other Favorite Beauty Product: Nécessaire The Body Lotion

“My favorite body lotion has to be Nécessaire’s The Body Lotion for its long-lasting moisture and the way it leaves my skin feeling smooth, soft, and deeply hydrated. I also love that it’s fragrance-free, making it perfect for sensitive skin.”

Beauty Staples We Keep Coming Back To

At the end of the day, the “best” beauty products aren’t the trendiest—they’re the ones you’ll reach for again and again. They’re designed to fit into real routines, not complicate them. You’ll use them, love them, and stick with them for the long run.
