At Otto Skin Goods, we strive to be a skincare brand that prioritizes improvement over creating more. Instead of cluttering your routine with more of the latest advancements, we’re committed to simply improving what we already have with newfound discoveries in ingredients and skincare science.
Over the past few years, we’ve introduced our new eye cream and restocked our refreshed products with both improved packaging and tweaked formulations. This is our ongoing commitment to be the best, most simplistic skincare routine for your every day. Here’s what you can expect whenever we do this:
Better Formulations
While each and every one of our products contain the same effective ingredients you know and love, you’ll notice a better texture and an improved preservative system.

The No Regrets Eye Cream
We named this “The No Regrets Eye Cream” for two reasons: For one, the eye area is prone to fine lines and wrinkles more than other areas of the face, and there’s no shame in softening those to age more gracefully. We also believe that most of those lines were created by joy and laughter over the years. How could you ever regret that?
What it is: A gently formulated Encapsulated Retinol eye cream to help smooth, brighten and depuff the eye area.
Targets: Fine Lines & Wrinkles + Hyperpigmentation + UV & Environmental Damage
What’s inside:
- Encapsulated Retinol, Peptides and Globe Daisy Extract help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving discoloration
- Caffeine and Green Tea Extract visibly depuff, while Squalane, Shea and Mango Seed Butter soften and soothe
- Elderberry helps calm and de-stress the skin by fighting free radical damage and pollution

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly changed with these products?
Two things: the formulations got small upgrades (better texture and an improved preservative system, while keeping the same core active ingredients), and the packaging got a refresh (updated glass bottle design and a more elevated look for the FSC®-certified cartons).
Will my favorite products still work the same way?
Yes. The formulas still contain the same effective ingredients you're used to; the updates are refinements, not replacements.
What products are included in this update?
The Go-Getter Day Serum, The Multitasker Night Serum, The Fresh Start Face Oil, and The No Regrets Eye Cream.
What does each product target?
- Go-Getter Day Serum: dehydration, fine lines & wrinkles, UV & environmental damage
- Multitasker Night Serum: breakouts, dark spots, dullness
- Fresh Start Face Oil: redness, premature aging, dehydration
- No Regrets Eye Cream: fine lines & wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, UV & environmental damage
Is the No Regrets Eye Cream a brand-new product?
It was introduced in recent years alongside the refreshed formulas and packaging, rounding out the routine with an eye-area treatment.
Are the products still cruelty-free and sustainable?
Yes! Cruelty-free status and sustainability standards haven't changed. The cartons remain FSC® certified and are now one-piece boxes to reduce waste.
Why did Otto Skin Goods make these changes instead of launching new products?
The brand's philosophy is "improvement over creation"; refining what already works rather than adding more products to your routine.
Does the eco-friendly packaging affect how the products perform?
No, the packaging changes are cosmetic and structural (design and waste reduction), not related to formula performance.
What is Otto Skin Goods' overall approach to skincare?
A "less but better" philosophy: a small number of results-driven products designed to simplify your routine rather than expand it.
