Brad Pitt’s face cream saved my skin this winter

A vineyard, bottled — but not to drink.

As a beauty editor, I have a robust arsenal of skin care, including drugstore and luxury brands alike. But over the years, I’ve become especially fond of those made in France. (Healthy skin is the main focus of French beauty, so expectations are high.)

It was my love of Gallic products that led me to try Beau Domaine, Brad Pitt’s rebranded Provence estate label. I’ve since fallen hard for it, especially its newest drop, The Rich Cream, which quite literally saved my parched winter skin.

Said to smooth wrinkles and improve skin firmness, it’s also deeply hydrating — yet sinks right in without a greasy feel, even under makeup. Every time I use it, I wake up a believer.

It’s truly decadent, and only a small amount is required for soft, hydrated skin. As weeks went by, my complexion started looking fresher, firmer and brighter. Plus, the scent is lovely and mild, yet it dissipates quickly.

I initially thought it was a men’s skincare line — but it’s for everyone. The entire range earns rave reviews from shoppers and is stealthily becoming a red carpet staple for makeup artists and stars. (It’s definitely a best-in-class brand for couples who share their products, too.)

Even with my huge stash of oils and lotions, my combination skin was still dry and inflamed all winter until I started using this. Though it saved my parched skin, it’s not too heavy for warmer months either. (Though the brand does also offer a lighter moisturizer, The Cream.)

About Beau Domaine

The “F1” star partnered with the Perrin family, the renowned Château de Beaucastel winemaking family, on his line. As such, the patent-pending ingredients include those made from grape pomace (what’s left over after the fruit is pressed).

Grapes are high in resveratrol, an anti-aging antioxidant, and polyphenols, which help firm the skin, among other benefits. The formulas also incorporate chamomile flowers, green tea leaves, grape water and other botanicals — sans the potential irritants found in US-formulated skin care.

Together, they spearheaded research in partnership with professors and physicians to identify the optimal way to leverage these natural components for anti-aging results.

When launching the concept in 2022, Pitt told Vogue he loves what his famous ex Gwyneth Paltrow has done with Goop, adding that it’s a “lovely creative outlet for her.” (Perhaps it provided inspo for the “Fight Club” actor’s own vision, despite him admitting he’s a low-maintenance kind of guy when it comes to grooming.)

The vegan, cruelty-free line keeps evolving and launching new products — a sure sign it’s on the way to reaching Goop-like recognition.

Other Beau Domaine favorites

Given my love for the Rich Cream, I’ve recently also added the five-star-rated The Serum to my routine. It protects against free radical damage while offering lightweight hydration.

My skincare bestie offers hydrated, glowy skin and a lovely sensorial experience.

Additionally, I swear by Beau Domaine’s hand cream — not only does it make hands look more youthful, it even hydrates nails, for healthier-looking hands overall. And the smell? Ça sent bon!

(It’s definitely among the best hand creams I’ve tried, and I’m averse to anything that leave skin feeling greasy.)

Beau Domaine The Hand and Nail Cream

Said to reduce dark spots and “refine skin texture for softer, more radiant-looking hands,” it’s another great entry to the line. (Again, no greasiness, just lovely, hydrated, youthful hands.)

While it’s easy to be dismissive of celebrity-founded beauty brands, the research and partnerships Pitt made were worthy of the “Benjamin Button” star’s reputation.

And while I may not look like a teenager again, Beau Domaine has certainly noticeably reversed the clock (at least a little) for my skin.
