Here are the must-haves we have trialed from the super affordable skincare range, available in Penneys stores.
Beauty guru Alex Steinherr created a skincare range for Penneys that is in stores now, and we have been loving the products so far. The 20 product range is divided into five collections; Maximum Moisture, Plump & Glow, Sleep Spa, Pollution Solution and Pore Balance. We always thought it was worth investing in great quality skincare, but Alex has achieved the actual dream – effective, affordable, gorgeous products. We sat down with Alex to talk about creating the range and her skincare rules.
Here are the products we can’t get enough of:
Maximum Moisture Collection

The Supreme Sheet Mask gives a powerful hydration surge and immediate skin barrier support. Loaded with glycerin, amino acid, lotus flower extract, its innovative texture holds the essence 12 times better than a regular fibre mask.
Alex says: “Now you really can make your skin look better in just 10 minutes – this is the ultimate skin makeover!”
ICM says: “We brought this with us on a long plane journey and it completely eliminated that dry, crepe-paper feeling we usually get when flying. This is intensely nourishing and refreshing for the skin. This is the hero product of the range!”
Pore Balance Collection
