Bubble Skincare Review
Founded in 2020, Bubble is one of the newer skincare brands that really caught my attention. With its colorful, fun, and eye-catching packaging, Bubble targets younger skincare consumers seeking effective, research-backed products at an affordable price. After trying several products from their lineup, I’m excited to share my thoughts and reviews. To read on, click......
Bubble | Bounce Back Balancing Toner: Review
Bubble | Bounce Back Balancing Toner & Fresh Start Gel Cleanser
Bubble | Bounce Back Balancing Toner (C$18.99 for 55ml):
An "instant reset" for the skin, the Bounce Back Balancing Toner is a gentle toning mist formulated with rose water, niacinamide, and willow bark extract to hydrate and control oil. The fine-mist nozzle delivers a light, fruity-floral spritz, instantly making the skin feel soothed and refreshed. While Bounce Back Balancing Toner is perfect for refreshing the face throughout the day, I personally love using it as the first step in my skincare routine after cleansing.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Sea Water, Sodium PCA, Niacinamide, Citric Acid, Salix Nigra (Willow) Bark Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Echinacea Purpurea Extract, Echinacea Angustifolia Root Extract, Echinacea Purpurea Root Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Phytate, Citronellol, Geraniol, Linalool.

Bubble | Fresh Start Gel Cleanser (C$22.99 for 125 ml):
Designed for all skin types, the Fresh Start Gel Cleanser is a gentle everyday cleanser formulated with calming mint, soothing caffeine, hydrating aloe, and lightly exfoliating polyhydroxy acid (PHA). Its lightweight, non-irritating formula creates a soft lather that rinses off easily, leaving the skin refreshed but not stripped. The cleanser comes in a unique airless pump bottle, which is uncommon for cleansers. However, the tiny nozzle was completely plugged up when I first tried to use it, which was very frustrating. While I’m usually not too particular about cleanser packaging, this issue is almost a dealbreaker.

Bubble | Morning Rays Brightening Eye Cream & Day Dream Vitamin C + Niacinamide Serum: Review
Bubble | Morning Rays Brightening Eye Cream & Day Dream Vitamin C + Niacinamide Serum 
Bubble | Morning Rays Brightening Eye Cream (C$17.99 for 15 ml):
Made with jojoba oil, niacinamide, turmeric, vitamin C, peptides, green tea extract, and resveratrol, the Morning Rays Brightening Eye Cream has a lightweight formula designed to moisturize, depuff, and brighten the under-eye area. Housed in a small airless pump bottle with a nozzle dispenser, the eye cream blends effortlessly and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy or irritating residue. I’m genuinely impressed by the ingredient list, and at this price point, it almost feels too good to be true!

Bubble | Morning Rays Brightening Eye Cream
Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Cetearyl Olivate, Niacinamide, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, Anhydroxylitol, Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil, Resveratrol, Butylene Glycol, Xylitylglucoside, Cetearyl Glucoside, Glucose, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sorbitan Olivate, Sorbitan Isostearate, Fraxinus Excelsior Bark Extract, Xylitol, Tocopherol, Silanetriol, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Potassium Citrate, Sodium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol.

Bubble | Day Dream Vitamin C + Niacinamide Serum (C$24.99 for 30 ml):
This brightening serum with a lovely blend of vitamin C, niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and plant-derived ceramides. With a lightweight, runny texture, the Day Dream Vitamin C + Niacinamide Serum is packaged in an airless pump bottle. The formulation is scent-free and absorbs quickly into the skin. I appreciate the combination of three research-backed brightening ingredients, though it would be helpful to know their exact concentrations. The added ceramides are also a big bonus, helping strengthen the skin barrier. I haven’t experienced any irritation or stinging with the serum, so it's likely a great everyday brightening serum for most skin types. Plus, the price point is very reasonable.

Bubble | Day Dream Vitamin C + Niacinamide Serum
Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Alpha-Arbutin, Tranexamic Acid, Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, Ceramide AS, Cholesterol, Ceramide NS, Ceramide EOP, Xanthan Gum, Brassica Campestris Seed Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Sorbitan Isostearate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Althaea Officinalis (Marshmallow) Root Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract, Dipropylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Sodium Polyacrylate, Sucrose Distearate, Phenoxyethanol.

Bubble | Slam Dunk Hydrating Cream Moisturizer (C$22.99 for 50 ml):
A deeply nourishing face cream for normal to dry skin, the Slam Dunk Hydrating Cream Moisturizer is formulated with aloe juice, avocado oil, shea butter, and evening primrose oil. Rich yet non-greasy, this scent-free moisturizer blends seamlessly into the skin, delivering lasting hydration and protection. While the ingredients may be a bit heavy for acne-prone skin, it’s an excellent choice for most other skin types, especially during the colder months. Lastly, the airless pump packaging is very trendy, but personally, I prefer a simpler, more sanitary airless pump bottle with a traditional nozzle dispenser (similar to the ones for the eye cream and serum).

Bubble | Cloud Surf Water Cream Moisturizer (C$22.99 for 50 ml):
Last but not least is this lightweight cream moisturizer designed for all skin types. Formulated with hibiscus, celery seed, lilac, and other botanical extracts, the Cloud Surf Water Cream Moisturizer helps control sebum production and reduce the appearance of pores. The formulation has a thin, non-greasy consistency that absorbs quickly, leaving no noticeable finish. I think this is really the perfect summer moisturizer, great for layering with serums, makeup, or sunscreen.

Overall, I’m really impressed with the Bubble lineup. The products are well-formulated, innovatively packaged, and reasonably priced. Although the products are primarily geared toward younger consumers, I can easily see people in their 30s or 40s being drawn to the brand as well!
