“Skincare, it’s the truth. It either works or doesn’t. There’s nowhere to hide,” Rihanna says. The Fenty Skin trademark covers medicated and non-medicated skin care, soap, body care and personal care products (excluding colour cosmetics, perfume and other fragrance-only products), and related accessories such as kits, tools and applicators,” The star said in British Vogue interview.
