21st March 2024 | Author: Victoria Woollaston-Webber

The Bubble Skincare UK range has now officially launched at Boots and Beauty Bay. Here’s everything you need to know about the new, affordable skincare brand

Even if you haven’t heard of Bubble Skincare, there’s a strong chance that if you have a pre-teen or teenager in your life, they very much have.

Bubble has exploded on social media in recent months and is gaining huge traction, especially among Gen Z looking for affordable skincare that does what it promises without any added nasties or ethical issues.

While we’re not Gen Z (and far from it sadly), we have had the opportunity to put a number of its bestselling products to the test and we understand the hype.

With that in mind, and given that our whole ethos is around finding effective, affordable and and ethically-minded beauty, we wanted to dedicate our latest brand spotlight to the US brand.Especially since it is now on sale in the UK at Boots and Beauty Bay.

Where to buy Bubble Skincare UK

The Bubble Skincare UK range is now available at:

Boots
Beauty Bay
Bubble (ships to the UK)

Bubble offers the greatest choice, unsurprisingly, but you have to wait a bit longer for the products to arrive because they’re shipped from the US.

Beauty Bay sells a wide range of individual products, as well as Bubble Skincare Sets that let you try a range of products for a slightly reduced, bundle price.

Boots has the smallest collection of Bubble Skincare UK products but you can buy them to collect on the high-street which makes it a bit more readily accessible. Plus you get Advantage points.

Why we love Bubble Skincare

Bubble Skincare has made waves across the US, and now the UK, because of its commitment to creating effective, affordable skincare. A realm that the likes of The Ordinary and The Inkey List have dominated in recent years.

Bubble’s core values revolve around clean formulas. This means they don’t contain any fragrances or ingredients that could potentially cause irritation or breakouts. All of their products are vegan and the brand is cruelty-free.

Due to the fact younger skin is often more sensitive, all of Bubble’s products are formulated to be gentle enough for daily use. And while this is great for Gen Z, if you have sensitive skin especially as a result of menopause, this will also work wonders for you, too.

The brand is also focused on helping you maintain a healthy skin barrier. A healthy skin barrier leads to healthy skin so Bubble prioritises ingredients that help strengthen this barrier, preventing irritation and reducing redness.

And while this approach is a major attraction, especially to a growing group of consumers looking to make more ethical and sustainable choice, Bubble also wants its products to be accessible.

It’s hot on transparency and lists all of its products’ ingredients on the packaging and online, often with percentage breakdowns. This helps establish Bubble as a trusted brand but it also means its easier for buyers to make informed choices about what they’re putting on their skin.

@victoria_woolly_web Not the best performance, based on Bubble’s other products and one of the lowest scoring toners in my best toner list too BUT this toner is actually really refreshing and calming and helps my redness. It’s also affordable and the brand has good vibes/morals it seems so I still rate it and would recommend it.
