LA’s Coolest Skincare Brand Lands in the UK
Stop everything you’re doing. Facile, Los Angeles’ coolest skincare brand, has officially crossed the pond and is now available exclusively at Space NK.
Founded by Danielle Nadick Levy and board-certified dermatologist Dr Nancy Samolitis, the California-born brand was initially created to bridge the gap between results-driven dermatology and the calm, elevated feel of a luxury spa.
The idea first struck Levy back in 2016 while she was sitting in Dr Samolitis’s waiting room, where the contrast between clinical and comforting was hard to ignore. Rather than choosing between the two, the pair launched Facile as a new kind of aesthetic clinic — one designed to deliver both. It wasn’t long before that same ethos evolved into a streamlined skincare line.
“My goal has always been to bring kind, affordable, and effective skincare to as many people as possible,” says Levy. “Space NK, with its extraordinary community and commitment to education and discovery, is the perfect home for Facile in the UK. We couldn’t be more excited to bring our ‘good skin should be easy’ philosophy to an entirely new audience.”
But don’t mistake the minimalist look for just another pretty shelfie moment. Facile is all about substance. The brand skips buzzy ingredients and unnecessary fillers in favour of a skin-first philosophy powered by clinically proven actives that actually deliver. Nowhere is this clearer than in its Core Four, an edit of essentials designed to support a healthy skin barrier, minus the overwhelm.
“For the Core Four, we wanted to create formulas that were universally simple, safe, and user-friendly,” says Dr Samolitis. “They do the job of cleaning and hydrating without all the additives that are unnecessary. The targeted serums have combinations of ingredients that work in harmony to deliver the desired benefit with regular use. Effective skincare doesn’t need to be complicated — that’s the entire premise of Facile.”
And the best bit? The price point is just as appealing as the formulas, with every product coming in under £40.
Here’s what’s landing at Space NK:
- Bare Necessity: A gentle hyaluronic acid gel-to-foam cleanser that lifts away dirt and impurities without irritating or stripping the skin.
- Dew You: A lightweight serum formulated with five molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to hydrate, plump, and depuff.
- Barely There: An airy moisturiser powered by the brand’s Hydra-Air Complex for all-day hydration.
- Lip Jelly: A peptide-packed treatment for a smoother, softer pout.
Looking to target specific concerns? Facile has you covered there too. Brighten tackles hyperpigmentation with a potent blend of niacinamide and tranexamic acid, while Destress is your go-to for calming redness. It’s reported to reduce visible irritation in 90% of users after 28 days.
Everything in the line is vegan, cruelty-free, and housed in recyclable packaging. And if your skin tends to be on the sensitive side, consider this your cue: many of Facile’s staples carry the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance.
Facile is now available at select Space NK stores and online at spacenk.com. Those in the US can find the brand at Sephora.
