Here on the Grazia beauty desk, we love a beauty edit. Whether it is a new Boots beauty box fit for festival season, an all-encompassing subscription service or the new Sol De Janeiro beauty bag, these curated offerings are well-loved for providing a path to unexplored beauty terrain and being great value-for-money. It's no wonder they sell like hot cakes. You name it, we've likely reviewed it. A fair warning, though: we may have just discovered the best yet, and it includes minis. Feeding into our addiction for teeny-weeny beauty products that make ideal travel partners comes Skin Rocks' newest offering, The AM and PM Routine.
'Mini but mighty' is what the brand is calling its not one but two new skincare edits, and that's certainly an accurate description. Featuring Skin Rocks' most celebrated clinically-proven formulas - which boast 10 industry awards and over 13,000 five-star reviews – The AM and PM Routine sets bring together a robust line up of high-performance skincare that sees you from day to night. Inside you'll find everything from the luxurious Skin Rocks The Cream Cleanser to the skin-hugging The Support Oil, to name a few.

What makes the Skin Rocks AM and PM Routine so good?
Perfect for skincare starters as well as savants, the two edits come with serious benefits. They give Skin Rocks newcomers a chance to try out its impressive range without any strings attached before deciding to commit to full-size products that come with, well, full-size price tags – though I can guarantee you'll make the leap. Each kit is a good option if you're new to the brand as well as serious skincare in general, as the gentle-yet-hardworking formulas get to work from first swipe. As for the more experienced among us, whether you're catching a flight or headed to a pilates class, the kits take the guess work out of packing by offering a streamlined edit of the very best Skin Rocks heroes that'll see you through it all.
Both kits are undeniably in keeping with brand founder and beauty expert Caroline Hirons' no-fuss approach. As a champion of transparency, efficacious, no-nonsense products, the kits are designed to make skincare easy and accessible. 'Skincare should meet you where you are — whether that's your first time exploring actives or your third trip this month,' says Hirons, 'these Mini Routines are designed to bring the power of great skincare into more lives, more easily.' In fact, with community at Skin Rocks' core, these kits come as a response to requests from customers who have asked for their favourite products to be shrunk into convenient and compact packaging that's great for on-the-go.
Is the Skin Rocks AM and PM Routine worth it?
Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'I've loved Skin Rocks since it launched back in 2022. As someone with highly temperamental and reactive skin, well versed in the benefits of a streamlined and stripped back beauty routine, discovering the brand was like a breath of fresh air. I'm a devotee to a number of the brands bestsellers like Skin Rocks The Cream Cleanser, which is rich, indulgent and thorough, as well as the The Support Oil, which often helps to bring things back into balance. So when news of mini Skin Rocks heroes came to light, I was eager to get them into my travel kit pronto. I'm pleased to say Skin Rocks The Cream Cleanser and The Support Oil have now taken up residence in my on-the-go beauty bag, but surprisingly (or not) so have a few others. The The Antioxidant in the AM Routine, which is usually £70 a pop, has really helped to get me reacquainted with vitamin C (a skincare holy grail), while The Retinoid 1 in the PM Routine proves that effective vitamin A serums needn't require a doctor's prescription. Truth be told, without these kits I probably wouldn't have slathered my way through either of these fast-becoming favourites. But I guess that's the whole point, right?'
