We tried Alix Earle’s Reale Actives skin care line — here’s what’s worth your money

Alix Earle, who has spoken openly about her experience with cystic acne and Accutane, has launched Reale Actives, a skincare line developed with her dermatologist, Dr Kiran Mian. The review considers whether the products offer practical value beyond Earle’s celebrity profile, particularly for acne-prone skin and people concerned about irritation or damage to the skin barrier.

The line launched on 31 March 2026 with four products: a makeup-removing cleansing balm, exfoliating gel cleanser, mandelic acid serum and barrier-supporting moisturiser; it has since added an azelaic acid serum. The reviewers focus on how comfortable and gentle the formulas are for dry, sensitive skin as well as their blemish-focused ingredients. The cleansing balm, which contains squalane, green tea, centella asiatica, vitamin E and lightweight oils, is described as a promising option for removing makeup without stripping the skin.
