Our Pick
Mediheal
Higher editor rating (9 vs 8.1)
Beyoung
Beyoung started in the professional aesthetics channel and crossed into consumer retail with a lineup built around Brazilian skin's number-one complaint: oil. The Booster Matte is the hero — a silicone-free mattifying serum that controls sebum without drying. The brand's clinical-channel roots show in the formulation discipline: high concentrations, minimal filler, and packaging that reads dermatologist-office rather than Instagram-aspirational.
Pros
- ✓ professional aesthetics heritage — formulations have clinical backing
- ✓ Booster Matte is genuinely effective oil control
- ✓ silicone-free across the line
- ✓ mid-tier pricing for clinical-grade actives
Cons
- ✗ brand awareness still building outside southern Brazil
- ✗ limited international availability
- ✗ packaging is clinical-functional, not magazine-pretty
- ✗ some products only available through aestheticians
Mediheal
Mediheal is the top-selling skincare brand at Olive Young for two years running — beating more than 3,000 brands. Their sheet masks created the modern sheet mask category, and their Madecassoside Blemish Pad saw 820% year-over-year growth. If you only add one new sheet mask brand to your routine, make it this one.
Pros
- ✓ #1 selling brand at Olive Young
- ✓ Clinical-grade sheet mask formulations
- ✓ The Madecassoside line is category-defining
