This season, Pharrell is giving you the gift of dewy skin. Recently, the multifaceted mogul launched the 7D Retrograde Gel Cleanser and 7D Mystifying Moisturizer because, well, he’s “a gel guy.” In an e-mail interview with ELLE.com, Pharrell shares, “I love how these products make my skin feel. It felt like a natural step to expand our skincare offering so that our community can have options and choose products that suit them best based on their personal preference.” His skin care brand, Humanrace, is as all-encompassing as it sounds. It’s truly for everyone—and let’s be honest: Who doesn’t want skin like Pharrell?
“Now that I am spending more time in Paris, my skin needs have changed, and the gels have been a perfect addition to my skincare routine. As soon as I tried them, I knew we had instant winners,” he says.
