As we think back to the good old days of the Fantastic Four series, our love for one of the main characters stays strong. Jessica Alba’s role as Susan skyrocketed her to fame and now she’s busy working as an entrepreneur, mother of three, and social media content creator.

Judging by her slew of beauty videos on TikTok (and 7.5 million following on the platform!), it’s no surprise that the 40-year-old actress has made quite the name for herself in the skincare world. Her brand, Honest Beauty, quickly gained traction for its clean ingredients and amazing product reviews. And it offers up a bit of everything—from award-winning mascaras to top-rated eye creams.

So it's no surprise that the Honest Beauty founder turns to her line of products for fall. “Hydration is where it’s at when it comes to my skincare routine,” Alba said during a recent interview with E! Entertainment.

The star shared details of her fall skincare routine, including the moisturizer and tinted eye cream she can't live without.

She uses a lightweight moisturizer as a base

“In the fall, my skin tends to be on the drier side, so I love to use The Daily Calm Lightweight Moisturizer as a base.”

This gentle moisturizer is designed for sensitive skin and works to hydrate and strengthen the skin’s barrier. It’s formulated with a unique Phyto-Blend Liquid Crystal technology which helps create a moisture seal over the face.

It also includes micro hyaluronic acid ingredients which penetrate the skin deeply to hydrate it from the inside and out. The formula has a silky soft texture that’s super lightweight and it gets absorbed into the skin as soon you smooth it on. After moisturizing your face, your skin will feel soft and look plumper. It also received a 4.4-star rating and hundreds of rave reviews from Amazon customers.

The eye-cream she loves helps neutralize dark circles

Another fall skincare essential Alba loves? Honest Beauty Honestly Bright Eyes Tinted Eye Cream. “This is another must-have product for me,” said Alba. “If I don’t have enough time to do a five-minute face, I’ll use this which doubles as an eye cream while it helps neutralize dark circles.”

What makes this product so different from other eye creams is incredibly nutrient-rich ingredients like illuminating pearls that brighten up the under eye and a subtle tinted pigment to provide coverage for dark circles. The formula's key ingredients are hyaluronic acid combined with squalene which hydrates and moisturizes the eye area.

“Squalane is a wonderful hydrator with a lighter texture, so it absorbs quickly and doesn’t make the skin look overly greasy,” says Debra Jaliman, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist in New York City and the author of Skin Rules.

The product is available in two different hues: Sandstone for light to medium complexions and Terracota for dark to deeper tones.

We also love that the packaging is crafted from recyclable tree-free paper made with upcycled sugarcane, making it environmentally friendly, too.

Alba's brand, Honest Beauty, has gained quite the celebrity cult following. Singer Halsey gave the star a shout-out via an Instagram story writing, “Thank you @honest_beauty @jessicaalba for saving my pregnant skin. Not an ad, just seriously the first thing I’ve tried that’s gentle enough for my face right now.” Her product of choice was Honest Beauty’s Sleep Resurfacing Serum, a vegan serum formulated with five exfoliating alpha-hydroxy acids and hyaluronic acid for added moisture.

If you haven’t revamped your beauty cabinet with fall-approved products just yet—now’s the perfect time to do so. Shop Alba’s favorite moisturizer and tinted eye cream here as well as a few other of her skincare must-haves.
