Stacey Solomon’s haircare brand REHAB has launched a brand new skincare range, including sheet masks, moisturiser, face oil and even a sculpting tool that we put to the test
When Stacey Solomon announced that her brand REHAB was entering the skincare space, it marked a big step for the fast-growing beauty label. Known for its hair and bodycare, the move feels like a natural next chapter for the TV star and mumfluencer.
According to the brand, the new Skincare Collection has been “expertly formulated to hydrate and lift skin for a healthier, more radiant complexion,” promising gentle yet effective formulas that soothe, nourish and enhance your natural glow. Prices range from from £16 to £26 and the whole collection boasts chic, Instagram-worthy packaging – but is it worth the hype?
Having tried their bodycare and haircare range, I decided to put all four of the new items – named the “hydration prescription” – to see how they performed. Here’s what I thought…

First impressions
Packaging wise, the collection feels cohesive and well thought-out. The aesthetic is clean and modern, with soft, neutral tones that give it that bathroom-shelf appeal.
It also came with a very informative leaflet, telling you exactly how to use each product and what ingredients are within the formula. As someone who loves skincare, I noticed some very good components within the products.
The packaging felt luxurious and clean, which I love for displaying in the bathroom.
The collection includes:
- Collagen Sheet Masks (x3, £16)
- Dose Face Oil (50 doses, £26)
- Sculpting 2-In-1 Face Tool (£20)
- Whipped Face Cream (50ml, £25)
The range is 100 percent vegan and cruelty-free, and designed to be used together for optimum results.
The collagen sheet masks
Sheet masks can often feel like a quick fix, but REHAB’s offering aims to hydrate and give the skin a lifted feel. Our bodies naturally start losing collagen in our mid to late 20s, leading to sagging, wrinkling and thinner skin.
That’s why it’s often a favourite for skincare enthusiasts to find their collagen fix elsewhere, with sheet masks becoming all the more popular. On application, the mask felt lightweight, easy to apply and cooling.
One thing that made me nervous was the idea of leaving it on for the full three to four hours – which in comparison to 15 minute face masks, felt like a huge commitment. It’s hard to live your normal life wearing a face mask, with it slipping and sliding around and not allowing you to move your face. But if you are looking for the ultimate pamper night, it can be a nice addition.
Immediately after removal, my complexion appeared plumper and more refreshed. It gave that post-facial sheen without feeling sticky or overloaded with product.
The sheet has collagen, plant proteins and peptides aimed at supporting firmness, as well as hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and fermented probiotic complex to aid with hydration, plumpness and calming redness and texture.
Dose face oil
These small but mighty capsules are the standout in terms of concept. With 50 pre-measured doses, it removes the guesswork (and over-pouring) that can sometimes make face oils feel overwhelming.
My only issue was the little pods were tricky to open – I ended up having to use nail clippers (not the most hygienic). I’m sure there’s probably a hack to this that I am yet to master.
The oil itself feels lightweight and absorbs surprisingly well. I found that it layered beautifully over moisturiser without being too much. The ingredients consist of plant oil blend to help nourish and soften skin, as well as squalane and vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to brighten, hydrate and defend against environmental stresses.
I’m someone who can break out fairly easily, so I have to be careful when using oils but after a week of using this, I’ve noticed no issues in that department which is great.
Whipped face cream
True to its name, this whipped moisturiser has a light, airy texture. It’s designed to hydrate and lift without heaviness. The product also feels very luxury in the bottle, and I like how clean the packaging is.
On application, it melts into the skin quickly and leaves behind a soft, dewy finish. I particularly liked how lightweight the formula was. Again, as someone who can break out fairly easily, I need something not too heavy, and this fits the bill while providing the perfect level of hydration.
Consisting of hyaluronic acid, ceramide complex with skin identical lipids, squalane and antioxidant fruit extracts, it aids at hydrating, repairing and soothing skin against the harsh environmental stresses it can face.
Sculpting 2-In-1 face tool
This sleek-looking device adds a real sense of luxury to your routine. Used alongside the oil or cream, it helps massage and encourage circulation.
I have used a gua sha before, but being completely honest I find it a bit gimmicky and I’m not too sure exactly what it does. However, I do think these tools can help with lymphatic drainage if used correctly.
I watched a few tutorials and got to work, and I did feel like the tool made me look less puffy and more defined, even if just for a few minutes. I like the idea of putting it in the fridge to really help with depuffing ahead of putting on make-up.
It also rolls nicely on the skin, with the white quarts adding an element of luxury. I would definitely recommend watching tutorials to get the maximum effect out of this.
Overall results
Used together, the products feel designed to complement one another. There’s a real consistent focus on hydration, glow and gentle rejuvenation rather than aggressive actives or complicated multi-step routines.
After testing the full collection, my skin looked noticeably healthier. It had that subtle sheen that reads as well-rested and well-hydrated rather than shiny. I experienced no irritation, and my complexion felt balanced and comfortable throughout the day.
Is it worth the price?
Price-wise, the collection sits firmly in the affordable-premium bracket. Individually, the products range from £16 to £26, which feels accessible but not as affordable as some options available on the high street.
But I do think it sits within the mid-range, and justifies that given the quality and ingredients within the products.
