The Hailey Bieber Clean Girl Routine: Every Product She Actually Uses

View the full The Skin Edit collection →

Hailey Bieber's morning routine TikToks have racked up 50 million views this month, and every comment section is asking the same question: what is she actually using? The Upper East Side kid turned Rhode founder built her whole brand on glazed donut skin, and her drugstore-meets-luxury hybrid has become the blueprint for the clean girl aesthetic. We pulled apart the routine, tested the dupes, and ranked what's worth the shelf space. Some of these are her exact picks. Others are the editorial-approved swaps that get you the same finish for half the price.

This is not a celebrity worship list. It's a working hailey bieber routine you can rebuild at home, with a heavy bias toward products that perform. We left out anything trendy that didn't hold up under two weeks of daily use. What's in: the actives, cleansers, hydrators, and one cult SPF that earn their place. What's out: anything that promises glazed donut skin and delivers a sticky mess. Ten products, ranked for the actual skin you have, not the one a filter gives you.

Vitamin C Serum
01
SkinCeuticals

Vitamin C Serum

The vitamin C serum every dermatologist quietly admits is the benchmark. It brightens, shields against free radicals, and earns its $182 price tag in a way nothing else on the shelf can match. If you take the hailey bieber routine seriously, this is where you start.

Barrier Repair Moisturizer
02
Dr. Jart+

Barrier Repair Moisturizer

When your barrier is wrecked from over-exfoliating or chasing the wrong actives, this is the overnight reset. Ceramides rebuild the skin layer by layer, and you wake up calm, even, and conspicuously expensive. A clean girl aesthetic falls apart without a strong barrier underneath it.

SPF 50 Sunscreen
03
Supergoop

SPF 50 Sunscreen

Weightless, invisible, no white cast, no pill under makeup. This is the SPF that converts the skip-it crowd, and it's the reason half of TikTok thinks glazed donut skin is achievable in daylight. Wear it daily or stop reading skincare articles.

Retinol Serum
04
Drunk Elephant

Retinol Serum

A 1% retinol that goes hard without going scorched earth. Start twice a week, work up, and watch your 30s settle into your 40s with grace. This is one of the smartest Rhode skincare dupes in the active category, because Hailey's glow is retinol-built, not filter-built.

Exfoliating Toner
05
Paula's Choice

Exfoliating Toner

Two percent salicylic acid that unclogs pores without the sting. Use it at night, retire your physical scrub, and your skin smooths out within a month. A clean girl aesthetic is mostly texture work, and this is the texture worker.

Facial Mist
06
Caudalie

Facial Mist

Grape water in a can. It sets makeup, calms redness, refreshes a long day at the desk, and costs less than your last DoorDash order. The simplest of the Rhode skincare dupes for that midday glass-skin reset.

Cleansing Balm
07
Farmacy

Cleansing Balm

Balm to oil to milk, and it takes off waterproof mascara without an inch of tug. Skin feels soft, never stripped, which is the entire point of double cleansing. The base layer that lets your minimalist makeup look intentional the next morning.

The clean girl aesthetic is not about owning ten products. It's about owning the right ten and using them in the right order. Hailey's routine works because every step earns its place, from the SPF to the retinol to the unglamorous cleansing balm at midnight. We curated this list the same way: less stuff, better stuff, no filler. Build it once. Wear it for the next decade. That's the routine.
