Here’s something a lot of you still might not know…
Adore Beauty is home to some of the best cosmeceutical brands. It’s kind of what we’re known for!
When it comes to shopping for cosmeceutical skincare, my first point of call is always right here, because there’s actually info, reviews and instructions on each product page that I’d rather delve into than bothering someone at a beauty counter with my thousand-and-one questions.
Poor Sandy just wants to go on her lunch break and here I am asking, “Ok but how and when do I use this? Do I layer it over any of my other serums? How many times a week? Have you read or heard any good reviews on it?”
So I truly appreciate Adore Beauty for being the one-stop-online-shop we all need in our lives (especially right now when the bone-chilling Melbourne weather makes getting into my car and driving to the shops feel like a mammoth and very annoying task).
Plus, I honestly can’t be bothered visiting three different stores or clinics for three different skincare products or cosmeceuticals that I need. Who has that kind of time?
One cosmeceutical skincare brand I recently tried is Aesthetics Rx (you may have seen their fancy white bottles in some clinics where you get your facials!).
I selected a few to road-test based on my main concerns which are loss of radiance (I’m a perpetual glow-chaser so a vitamin C was essential) anything to help with dry, winter skin as well as preventive products that address any accelerated or early signs of ageing.
Keep scrolling to meet some of the products in the Aesthetics Rx range as well as my mini reviews…

Beauty IQ Uncensored co-host Hannah Furst also happens to be a fan of this brand (especially their DNA serum and their SPF) finding it also helped with her breakouts and made her skin clearer and brighter.
Now, let’s get to know some more of the glow-giving and anti-ageing skincare products in the Aesthetics Rx range…
1. Aesthetics Rx C Serum 23%.
Fast facts:
- Designed to promote younger, radiant-looking skin.
- Promises to help reduce expression lines and wrinkles.
- Contains a string antioxidant complex of 23% vitamin C, vitamin E and ferulic acid.
- Other hydrating and brightening ingredients include kakadu plum, hyaluronic acid and glycerin.
- How do you use Aesthetics Rx C serum? Apply in the AM (use on alternate days if you want to start slow) then follow with your SPF.
My Aesthetics Rx C Serum review:
Immediate wow.
If you’re looking for the best vitamin C for glowing skin well, all of them will eventually do that.
But if you want the best vitamin C for *instantly* glowing skin - add this one to cart.
My face was in actual shock when I saw how instant the glow was and how luminous it made my makeup go on (as you can see in the see picture above).
Vitamin C and ferulic acid are the ultimate power couple. When formulated together, ferulic acid actually enhances the stability of vitamin C making antioxidant protection even stronger.
Vitamin C is an essential part of my preventative and glow-chasing routine and I think this Aesthetics Rx vitamin C has officially become one of my new favourites.
AB customer Talesha says:
“I have some residual hyper-pigmentation that just wasn't leaving. Since using this my pigmentation has become less noticeable and not as red! My skin tone is more even and much brighter. I tried some low end - high end products and this one so far has been the most pleasant to use. Love that it has no fragrance, as I am sensitive to fragrance. It also has added hydrating ingredients, which I have seen an improvement in the hydration of my skin!”
2. Aesthetics Rx Revitalising Foaming Cleanser.
Fast facts:
- A gentle cleanser that removes makeup and oil and leaves skin feeling hydrated and refreshed.
- Contains vitamin B5 (softens skin and helps soothe redness), aloe vera juice (soothes and hydrates) as well as grapefruit peel oil, rosemary leaf oil and spearmint leaf oil.
- Is artificial fragrance and alcohol free.
- How to use Aesthetics Rx revitalising cleanser? Apply a small amount with water and emulsify in hands to create a foaming consistency and gently massage over face and neck then rinse.
- Can be used both AM and PM.
My Aesthetics Rx Revitalising Foaming Cleanser review:
Unlike other fancy cleansers I've used, this one only needs a small amount for big results.
A little truly goes a long way and it feels so lovely massaged into the skin.
Don't let the ‘foaming’ in the name put you off, this didn't feel stripping on the skin at all. Instead my skin felt refreshed and soft.
If you want to treat yourself to a cosmeceutical cleanser that actually gets everything off and doesn't require a second cleanse - add this to cart.
AB customer Dani says:
"After just having a baby I am suffering from really sensitive and dry skin. I have been struggling to find a hydrating cleanser, most make my skin feel tight and still quite dry after. I got this as a sample and it is really impressive, I love how soft and hydrated my skin feels. It is now a regular in my facial routine!"
3. Aesthetics Rx Anti-Ageing Regeneration Formula.
Fast facts:
- An intense, regenerative moisturiser and treatment in one.
- Suitable for all levels of ageing including those who want to address early signs to mature skin.
- Can be used byall skin types except those who are super oily.
- Contains Argireline™ Peptide - a unique anti-wrinkle peptide designed to help reduce the appearance of expression wrinkles.
- Other hero ingredients include retinol (firms, is smoothing and enhances collagen production), hyaluronic acid (to plump and hydrate) and vitamin E.
- How do you use Aesthetics Rx anti-ageing regeneration moisturiser? Because of the retinol in this treatment cream, this is best used in the evening after your leansing and serum steps.
My Aesthetics Rx Anti-Ageing Regeneration Formula review:
Looking for a powerful and hydrating anti-ageing cream? This is one to strongly consider.
Not to mention it was recently mentioned in VOGUE’s list for one of the best anti-ageing creams in 2023.
It felt lovely to apply on the skin, rich but not heavy and smells like a fancy spa treatment.
A moisturiser that certainly packs a punch. Filled with hydrators like hyaluronic acid and anti-ageing heroes like retinol and peptides, this is the perfect moisturiser to finish off your preventative and well-ageing routine.
Dry skins can also benefit from the ceramide complex in this special formula which also helps with sensitivity as well as dryness.
If softening wrinkles is something you want to address when shopping for skincare, the Argireline™ Peptide promises to reduce wrinkles by 17% in 15 days!
For this reason, I’m going to (sadly) pass this on to my mum who is in desperate need of a good anti-ageing moisturiser for mature skin and softening fine lines.
Will I be longingly staring at it in her bathroom because my thirty-something-year-old-skin would love it for all the goodness that’s inside?
Yes, but she deserves it (and needs it more than I do).
AB customer Veronica says:
“I had been searching for a night cream that "ticked the box" for all the goodies in it and an advisor on the Adore Beauty chat website recommended this cream for me. It is a beautiful hydrating and firming cream for my 67 year aged skin. My skin looks radiant the next day. I use this alternate nights. I found this cream really good during the winter months. A little goes a long way and it is reasonably priced compared with the higher end night creams.”
4. Aesthetics Rx Instant Rescue Face Mask.
Fast facts:
- A calming and nourishing mask to support stressed skin & your skin barrier while leaving your face looking radiant.
- Star ingredients include hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and ceramides.
- Ashwagandha extract in the formula hydrates and has anti-inflammatory properties, reishi extract (helps with redness and hydration), and lactobacillus ferment (delivers anti-ageing benefits and anti-irritant properties.)
- Also contains a blend of essential oils including sweet orange, mandarin, peppermint and lemon peel.
- How do you use the Aesthetics Rx Instant Rescue Face Mask? Smooth a generous layer on completely clean skin, leave for 10-20 mins then remove with warm water.
- Can be used both AM and PM up to three times weekly.
My Aesthetics Rx Instant Rescue Face Mask review:
If you’re currently dealing with dull, winter skin or just fatigued skin in general - this brightening mask will pep it right up.
I admit, when I first applied this mask I felt a cooling sensation and worried that would quickly turn into a tingle but after about 5 minutes I completely forgot I had it on.
It settles comfortably on the skin and after leaving it on for about 20 minutes then removing with my microfiber pads, my complexion was revitalised, clear and slightly brighter.
Having instantly lifted my drab skin, I’m popping this in my ‘best brightening masks to apply before makeup’ pile.
Also any skincare product that’s going to support my skin barrier (especially in the cooler months) gets a thumbs up from me.
