Everything you need to know about Beau Domaine, the Brad Pitt skincare range

Brad Pitt describes his new genderless Beau Domaine skincare line as being “clean, green, and conscious”

These aren’t just generic grape seed extracts, they’re specific compounds with clinical backing, which separates this from some celebrity lines that essentially rebrand existing formulas.

The range includes a serum, two moisturisers, a cleanser, and a hand cream. Everything’s vegan, made in France, and avoids parabens, silicones, and synthetic fragrances.

Below we explain more about the new Brad Pitt skincare line, how the brand claims its different from what else is on the market, and where you can buy it in the UK.

Beau Domaine: Brad Pitt Skincare

We’re in the middle of a proper boom in celebrity skincare. The difference now is that consumers are getting savvier – they want to know where ingredients come from, whether there’s actual innovation involved, or if it’s just a famous name slapped on a white-label formula.

Brad Pitt describes Beau Domaine as “clean, green and conscious” and said it’s based on the idea of “primeval beauty…” we’re not entirely sure what the latter means but we can shed light on everything else.

What is Beau Domaine?

Beau Domaine is the first skincare collection from Hollywood actor Brad Pitt. There are six hero products – an emulsion that acts as a cleanser, three face creams, a serum, a hand and nail cream and a selection of bundles as follows:

• The Cleansing Emulsion: £44
• The Serum: £104
• The Cream: £74
• The Rich Cream: £74
• The Fluid Cream: £74
• The Hand & Nail Cream: £15
• The Discovery Routine: £96
• The 2 Creams Routine: £274
• Brad’s Complete Routine: £222

Each one is listed as using vegan ingredients that are “96 to 99% from natural origin.” which basically means the ingredients either come directly from plants, minerals, or water, or they’re from natural sources through processing.

It doesn’t mean the product is literally just squeezed from a grape – there’s still chemistry involved to create stable, effective formulas – but the starting materials come from nature rather than being synthesised in a lab from scratch.

Beau Domaine Ingredients

Inside the products, GSM10 is designed to combat oxidative stress (the free radical damage that contributes to ageing), protect collagen, and support your skin’s microbiome balance.

The brand has published results showing things like 42% plumping effects and reductions in wrinkle depth, although these are their own studies rather than independent research.

Elsewhere, the brand makes quite a lot of its “strict blacklist” of excluded ingredients. That means no:

• parabens
• phenoxyethanol
• MIT
• triclosan
• chlorphenesin
• BHA
• BHT
• silicones
• microplastics
• mineral oils
• synthetic oils
• animal-derived ingredients
• sulphated surfactants
• EDTA

Beau Domaine claims these ingredients are “subject of controversy regarding the environment or the natural balance of your body.”

It’s worth noting that “clean beauty” claims like this are contested in the industry. Some of these ingredients – particularly parabens and silicones – have solid safety profiles backed by decades of use and research. The case against others is still developing.

Where to buy Brad Pitt Skincare UK

Beau Domaine Skincare is available across Europe, including the UK, the US, Asia and Oceania from launch.

Prices run from £15 for the hand cream to £104 for the serum, meaning it spans mid-range to luxury pricing. The collection is available now through the Beau Domaine website, with free UK shipping over £59.

Delivery times vary but range from 1-4 days, depending on the location. Beau Domaine also said to add an additional working day to each order for “preparation time.”

Beau Domaine The Cleansing Emulsion

This is Beau Domaine’s face cleanser – a light emulsion designed to remove makeup, impurities, and excess oil without stripping your skin.

The brand positions it as a gentle yet effective cleanser that protects your skin barrier rather than compromising it, which matters if you’re using active ingredients or have sensitive skin.

The main claim is that it cleans deeply whilst delivering immediate comfort and hydration.

According to Beau Domaine’s clinical studies, 97% of users found their skin felt soothed and supple, and 94% said their skin felt detoxified without any tightness after use.

There was also a 57% increase in moisturisation after two hours, which is unusual for a cleanser – most leave your skin feeling a bit tight until you apply your next product.

Like the other products in the range, it contains GSM10 for antioxidant protection. The idea is that even during cleansing, you’re getting some defense against environmental stress rather than just washing your face.

If you’ve struggled with cleansers that leave your skin feeling tight or irritated, this is designed to avoid that. At £44, it’s most definitely a premium cleanser and while there are effective options at lower price points, if you want something with antioxidants built in and a gentle formula, it delivers.

Beau Domaine The Serum

This is Beau Domaine’s flagship serum – the product it’s clearly most proud of if its price and level of ingredients is anything to go by.

It’s a concentrated formula you apply before moisturiser, designed to tackle wrinkles, firmness, and dull skin with both GSM10 and ProGR3.

The base then uses organic grape water with various weights of hyaluronic acid, so it hydrates at different skin depths.

Beau Domaine’s clinical studies showed a 42% plumping effect and 11% reduction in crow’s feet after 28 days.

These are brand-run studies rather than independent research, but the results aren’t wildly exaggerated – they’re in line with what you’d expect from a well-formulated serum with proven actives

You only need two drops per application – which is good because it costs so much that you’ll want it to last.

It’s lightweight and absorbs quickly, which matters if you’re layering other products and you can use it daily or do intensive one-month courses a few times yearly.

If you buy it on subscription you get 20% off, so it costs £83.20. Not cheap, but not a bad saving if it works as well as the brand claims.

Beau Domaine The Cream

The Cream is Beau Domaine’s middle-weight moisturiser that sits between The Fluid Cream (lightweight) and The Rich Cream (heavy-duty).

It’s described as having a creamy texture that melts into skin, designed to deliver hydration and anti-ageing benefits without feeling greasy.

The main claims are deep hydration, reducing visible signs of ageing, and protecting against oxidative stress.

Clinical studies showed an 84% increase in hydration after two hours and a 16% reduction in dehydration wrinkles and fine lines after 28 days.

There was also a 97% immediate comfort rating, which matters if your skin tends to feel tight or uncomfortable after applying products

Like the other creams, it’s powered by GSM10 and ProGR3 – Beau Domaine’s patented actives for antioxidant protection and anti-ageing. The formula also includes a blend of antioxidants to defend against environmental stress and free radicals.

It’s designed to smooth wrinkles and improve skin elasticity over time, with the creamy texture providing immediate comfort whilst the actives work on longer-term improvements.

It’s marketed as suitable for all skin types and gender-neutral, which is fairly standard for the range. The texture is designed to work under makeup, so you can use it morning and evening without it interfering with foundation or other products.

The main appeal seems to be the balance – it’s more substantial than The Fluid Cream but not as rich as The Rich Cream. If you’re not sure which texture you need, this is probably the safest middle ground. At £74, it’s the same price as the other creams (or £59 on subscription), so the decision really comes down to your skin type and preference rather than cost.

Beau Domaine The Rich Cream

The Rich Cream is the heavy-duty version of The Fluid Cream (below) and is best for very dry skin or anyone needing more intensive nourishment.

It’s described as having a rich, melting texture, but crucially, it still absorbs without leaving you greasy. That’s what you’re after with a richer cream – deep hydration minus the slick finish.

Clinical studies showed a 97% soothing effect from first application, which matters if your skin tends to be tight or uncomfortable.

After 28 days, there was a 14% reduction in crow’s feet, 36% improvement in firmness, and 18% increase in radiance. Those are solid results for a moisturiser

The formula centres on GSM10 and ProGR3 plus olive oil for nourishment, shea butter for barrier protection, and grape water as the base. It’s 99.5% natural origin, which is about as clean as you’ll get at this level.

It’s recommended for dry to very dry skin, morning and evening. You can also use it as an overnight mask if you want something a bit more intensive

The main difference between this and The Fluid Cream is really about skin type and preference. If you’re dry, dealing with tightness, or it’s cold weather, go for this. If you’re normal to oily or prefer lighter textures, stick with The Fluid Cream.

Beau Domaine The Fluid Cream

The Fluid Cream is Beau Domaine’s lightweight moisturiser.

It’s designed to be used daily and works well under makeup because it absorbs quickly without leaving residue.

The key promise is hydration without weight. Beau Domaine’s studies show 90% hydration retention after six hours, a 10% reduction in fatigue signs, and 23% less under-eye puffiness.

Like Beau Domaine’s other products, it contains GSM10 for antioxidant protection and uses organic grape water as the base.

You use two pumps on clean, dry skin and it can go on your face, neck, and eye contour – the fact it’s eye-safe is genuinely helpful, and clinical tests showed improvements in dark circles after 56 days.

The texture is really the selling point here though. If you’ve got normal to oily skin, or you just don’t like the feeling of heavy creams, this makes sense. It’s also good for humid climates where richer formulas feel a bit much.

It’s available for £59.20 on subscription.

Beau Domaine The Hand & Nail Cream

This hand cream it’s positioned as more than just a moisturiser and in addition to keeping your hands soft, it promises to strengthen nails and even reduce dark spots.

Beau Domaine’s studies showed 100% of users found their skin smoother, 90% said their hands looked younger, and there was a 19% reduction in dark spot intensity after 28 days.

That last measurement was instrumental rather than self-reported, which makes it more credible.

The formula uses including olive oil, sustainably sourced shea butter, and grape water as the base. It contains the same GSM10 active as Beau Domaine’s face products for antioxidant protection

At £15, it’s priced competitively for a premium hand cream with a genuinely better formulation than most drugstore options.

If you’re dealing with dry hands, age spots, or weak nails, this could be worth considering.

Beau Domaine The 2 Creams Routine

Beau Domaine’s 2 Creams Routine gives you, as the name suggests – two creams so you can switch between textures depending on the season, time of day, or how your skin feels.

The idea is that your skin’s needs aren’t always the same, so why should your moisturiser be?

You choose which two creams you want (The Fluid Cream and The Cream, or The Fluid Cream and The Rich Cream), and you get The Cleansing Emulsion and The Serum as well.

It’s only got three reviews at the time of writing but they’re all five stars. One reviewer noted they wish the cleanser had a pump dispenser, which is fair feedback for a product at this price point.

This bundle makes sense if you’re committed to the brand and want the full routine. At nearly £300, it’s a serious investment, but you’re getting the complete system rather than piecing it together.

If you’re not sure yet, the Discovery Routine (£96) below gives you smaller sizes to test first.

Beau Domaine The Discovery Routine

This is Beau Domaine’s starter set – smaller sizes of its three core products so you can test the routine before committing to full-size.

Inside, you get The Cleansing Emulsion (30ml), The Serum (15ml), and your choice of cream in a 15ml size – either The Cream, The Fluid Cream, or The Rich Cream.

It all comes in a Beau Domaine pouch, which is handy for travel or gym bags.

If you’re curious about the brand but don’t want to spend hundreds on the full routine straight away.

The sizes are genuinely useful for travel, and at £96, you’re getting a proper trial of the complete system.

If you like it, you can then commit to full sizes with the subscription discount.

Why is Beau Domaine so expensive and is it worth it?

The Brad Pitt skincare line has been developed by two scientists – Professor Pierre-Louis Teissedre from Bordeaux University and Professor Nicolas Lévy.

Professor Teissedre specialises in grapes and wine compounds and is said to have spent the past decade “observing and studying numerous grape varietals and combinations” to find the most potent antioxidants. For treating disease, as well as helping with skin concerns. He has patented an active compound called GSM10, which is said to maximise the antioxidative powers and efficacy in cosmetics.

Professor Lévy is professor of Human and Medical Genetics and is an expert in the process, and “pathological mechanisms” of ageing. He is the co-founder or a biotech company focused on developing medicines for rare diseases called ProGeLife and this company has developed an active compound called ProGR3. This is said to be capable of slowing down the effects of ageing.

Both of these active compounds are found in the Brad Pitt skincare line.
