Known for
Layered hydrating serums and a gentle squalane oil cleanser.
The SkinLabs Take
Silki has built a genuinely large following fast, and the formulas we've reviewed back it up — a polyglutamic-and-HA serum that's a genuinely good layered hydrator, and a squalane oil cleanser gentle enough for daily use on dry or reactive skin. Nothing groundbreaking, but competently formulated, accessible skincare that's easy to build a routine around.
Why they made the list
Three reviewed products spanning serum and cleanser, all scoring well on texture and climate fit — dependable, growing, worth watching as its range expands.

Silki converted me a while back. Glad to see it's not just me who rates them this highly.

Ranking feels a bit generous for Silki based on what I've tried, though I get the reasoning.

Living with the humidity out here in Mbombela, I've found Silki's formulas perform better than most imported alternatives.
