Some of the best ideas don’t start with big budgets or glossy labs—they start small, with a spark of frustration and a vision for something better. Three Ships Beauty began in a cozy apartment kitchen in 2020, when co-founders Laura and Connie invested $4,000 of their savings to create something the skincare world was missing: products that were natural, effective, and refreshingly uncomplicated.
They set out to simplify routines without sacrificing results—and in the process, built a brand anchored by values that are more than taglines: All Natural, Dermatologist-Tested, Sustainably Sourced, Vegan-Friendly, Cruelty-Free, and Allergy-Free. Every decision is guided by transparency, down to their open-access Ingredients Glossary that tells you exactly what’s in your product, why it’s there, and where it came from.
The Three Ships Difference
Three Ships doesn’t believe in a 12-step routine. Instead, they offer streamlined, results-driven products that actually earn their place on your bathroom shelf. Their lineup spans everything you need for a simple yet effective routine:
-
Cleansers + Toners – Gentle, effective starting points that leave your skin fresh but never stripped.
-
Serums – Targeted treatments for brightening, hydrating, or calming your skin, all with clean, purposeful ingredients.
-
Moisturizing Creams – Lightweight daily hydration or rich overnight repair, depending on what your skin is craving.
-
Masks & Exfoliators – Treatments that feel like a spa day but fit into your daily life.
-
Eye Care – Eye masks and creams to de-puff, brighten, and smooth, whether you’re recovering from a red-eye flight or just a late Netflix binge.
Bringing It Into Your Lifestyle
The beauty of Three Ships is that their products adapt to you. Whether you’re a three-step minimalist or someone who loves layering, their formulas fit seamlessly into real routines:
x Morning: Start with the Refresh Cleanser, follow with the Jelly Drops Serum, and seal it in with the Hydration Day Cream for a plump, fresh base under SPF.
x Anytime Boost: Keep the Brighter Days Eye Masks in the fridge—they’re a morning pick-me-up or a pre-event refresher that instantly perks up tired eyes.
x Weekly Ritual: Reset with the Superfruit Exfoliating Mask, letting fruit enzymes polish while you sip coffee or catch up on your favorite podcast.
x Night: Wind down with the Refresh Cleanser, layer on the Skin Hero Bio-Retinol Serum, and finish with the Hydration Night Cream for overnight repair that works while you sleep.
What we love most is that there’s no intimidation factor—just honest, effective skincare that fits into your life without complicating it.
Why We’re On Board
For us, Three Ships feels like that friend who always travels light but somehow has everything you need. The one who proves you don’t need excess to feel taken care of. With every product, you get a thoughtful mix of science-backed formulas, sustainable practices, and a sense of trust that your skin is in good hands.
Try It With Us At Home
We’re always curious about how products fit into real life, so we brought a few Three Ships essentials into our own routine. From daily use to little moments of self-care, they’ve quickly become favorites. Here are the standouts—and why they’ve earned a permanent spot on our shelf.
1. Give Me More Best Sellers
The ultimate introduction to the brand, this set includes Jelly Drops Serum, Purify Cleanser, Skin Hero Serum, and Radiance Cream. Together, they form a balanced, easy-to-follow routine that cleanses, hydrates, and brightens.
Our take: After two weeks, skin feels smoother and more refreshed. The fresh, subtle scents make the ritual genuinely enjoyable. And we can’t help but love how the cute little bottles double as eye candy in our rooms.

2. Superfruit Exfoliating Mask
A gentle yet effective exfoliator with Rice Powders, fruit-based AHAs, and soothing aloe vera to resurface dull skin and leave it soft, hydrated, and clear.
Our take: The exfoliating mask we didn’t know we needed—skin feels polished and balanced without any dryness. Light, easy to apply, and over time it’s helped keep breakouts at bay.

3. Brighter Days Eye Masks
These biodegradable hydrogel masks visibly depuff, brighten, and hydrate the under-eye area. Perfect for mornings after late nights or as a pre-event treat.
Our take: Cooling, calming, and soothing—exactly what my tired eyes need after a long day (or a late night). And we love that they’re earth-friendly too.

4. Hydration Day & Night Duo
Two creams that keep skin happy around the clock: Radiance Day Cream with Grape Stem Cells and vegan Squalane, and Dream Night Cream with Bio-Retinol and Shorea Butter for overnight repair.
Our take: Both creams feel light and clean on the skin—no heavy or greasy residue. Plus, the push-down dispenser makes applying them oddly satisfying—it’s the little things that keep us consistent with our routine.
