Sofia Richie Grainge Swears By a $7 Anti-Acne Bar Soap and This "Holy Grail" French Pharmacy Cream

Sofia Richie Grainge might be summering at the luxurious Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France, but that doesn't mean she's put her social media on pause. In fact, she's been as active as ever, sharing snapshots of her life, such as when she had London-based hairstylist George Curran cut her signature blonde hair into a chic, South of France style that she coined the "Du Cap" bob.
She also released a new skincare-and-makeup tutorial as part of Vogue's Beauty Secrets series. Throughout the 15-minute video, she goes through her full routine, starting with the $7 bar soap she uses in place of high-end face wash, saying, "It's the only thing that doesn't break me out." There's an iconic French pharmacy cream she calls her "holy grail." There's even a full-coverage concealer that she's "obsessed" with. Ahead, see all of her best-kept beauty secrets.
Sofia Richie Grainge's Favorite Skincare Products
The first item Richie Grainge shares in the video isn't actually a skincare product; although, it's skincare-adjacent. It's this cute bar soap holder she bought on Amazon. "I am really excited to be showing you guys my bar soap Amazon bathtub," she says. "I'm so proud of this." It holds the $7 bar soap she swears by for keeping her skin clean and acne-free.
Next, she uses this cryotherapy and LED face mask. It offers red light, blue light, or a combination of both, along with cryo-inspired integrated cooling for an allover glow. "I use it for anti-aging; it helps kill bacteria, and it has a little fan inside, which keeps me very cool," she says.

Next, Richie Grainge spritzes Hydrinity's Hyacyn Active Purifying Mist on her skin. It uses hypochlorous acid, a potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent, to keep the skin calm, smooth, and clear of acne-causing bacteria. That's why Richie Grainge calls it "hand sanitizer for your face."
Next, Richie Grainge applies an iconic French pharmacy product—one that's known for soothing stressed skin and strengthening its natural barrier. "As you can tell, I use a lot of this," she says. "This is my holy grail, and I always apply it under my makeup because I feel like my makeup is so pretty on top of this. It's thick. It's pasty. This is one of those creams you need to warm up. The more you warm it up in your hand, the more you warm it up on your face, the glowier and more gorgeous it looks."
"Last but not least on the skincare front, I'm using this Skinceuticals sunscreen," she says. "I discovered this product because they sent it to me, and I've been obsessed and using it ever since. It's another one that does not break me out—only does good things."
