Glossier Skincare Line

Glossier built a skincare brand around the idea that your routine should have 3 steps instead of 10. Bubblegum pink, white, and the occasional pastel blue communicate that simplicity through packaging. Products have names like Milky Jelly Cleanser and Priming Moisturizer that sound approachable rather than clinical. Tubes and bottles are designed to look good sitting on a bathroom shelf rather than hidden in a cabinet. My friend uses the moisturizer and the sunscreen and swears the 2-product routine does more than the 7-step process she used to follow. Glossier started as a beauty blog called Into the Gloss. The audience existed before the product did, and that sequence counts because Glossier designed their line for people who were already talking about skincare rather than trying to convince people to start.
