Our Pick
Krave Beauty
Higher editor rating (8.7 vs 8.5)
Creamy
Creamy is what happens when a Brazilian dermatologist (Dr. Luiz Romancini) decides the gap between prescription-grade actives and what patients can afford to use daily is too wide. Founded in 2019 in São Paulo, the brand hit R$1 billion in cumulative revenue faster than any Brazilian skincare brand in history. The Glicointense Peel (14% glycolic acid + BHA + PHA + LHA) is the hero — a multi-acid at-home peel that rivals professional treatments. The entire line follows the same principle: maximum active concentration that's still safe for home use, transparent percentages on the packaging, and pricing that makes daily compliance realistic. Available at every Drogasil, Droga Raia, and Beleza na Web in Brazil.
Pros
- ✓ founded by a practicing dermatologist — formulations are clinically informed
- ✓ transparent active percentages on every product
- ✓ R$1 billion in cumulative revenue — fastest-growing Brazilian skincare brand
- ✓ available at all major Brazilian pharmacy chains
Cons
- ✗ relatively small product range — focused lineup
- ✗ limited international availability
- ✗ packaging is clinical-functional, not aspirational
- ✗ newer brand — long-term track record still building
Krave Beauty
Liah Yoo built Krave Beauty the way you wish more brands would — with a skincare-fatigued YouTube audience in mind, a commitment to stripping back rather than piling on, and one genuine cult hit in Great Barrier Relief. Small catalog, specific mission, loyal fans. Not for people who want a 10-step system. Very much for people whose skin has been yelled at for too long.
