Shani Darden
Shani Darden launched her eponymous skincare line in 2013 after building a decade-plus career as a celebrity facialist in Los Angeles. The brand is rooted in her in-practice observations rather than clinical research, but her Retinol Reform has become a widely referenced product and the line has steady independent review coverage.
