While I love the portability level, I found the fridge a bit louder at times.
And just like me, most Amazon buyers agree that the fridge hums a bit at times:

The door-side shelf rack can hold multiple sheet masks, and the shelves can be adjusted higher or lower to create more space when needed.
On the downside, some Amazon reviewers note that a bit of condensation forms every once in a while.
That’s normal given the fridge’s capacity (10 Liters) and can be fixed with a gentle wipe-down from time to time.

Koolatron Mirrored LED Mini Fridge
Best LED Mirror Skincare Fridge
EDITOR’S NOTE:
“One of the best, if not the best-looking skincare fridge on this list, the Koolatron features a superb LED light beauty mirror on the front door, and I’d buy it for the mirror alone.”

Skincare Fridges FAQs
Do I Need a Skincare Fridge?
Storing cosmetics and beauty products cooled down in the fridge keeps them fresh, safe, and active (the ingredients) for a long time.
In particular, skincare products containing Vitamin C and Retinol must be stored at cold temperatures to prevent oxidation and the deterioration of active ingredients.
However, storing beauty products and cosmetics in the kitchen fridge is not a good idea.
Creams pick up smells, while serums, cosmetics, and powders get contaminated with food bacteria, which is not what you want.
Skincare fridges are the best alternative to classic kitchen fridges, designed to store food.
What is the Best Skincare Fridge?
When talking about the best skincare fridges, there are two essential things to remember: the fridge’s size (capacity) and the fridge’s power (temperature range).
1. Fridge Size (Capacity):
The ideal for a skincare fridge is subjective, depending on where you want to place it and how many cosmetic products it can accommodate.
For example, a four-liter skincare fridge can fit approximately six 12-ounce cans.
In my experience, a four-liter beauty fridge is great for storing many serum bottles of the same height.
However, it might not be the best choice if you want to store a wide range of cosmetics, such as lipsticks, facemasks, creams, serums, and so on.
If that’s the case, you should look for skincare fridges with removable shelves, so you can customize the interior space as you like.
2. Power (Temperature Range):
Technically speaking, skincare fridges are in the same device category as mini portable fridges for food.
However, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendation, foods should be stored at 40ºF (4.5°C) or below.
In the case of beauty products, the fridge shouldn’t run under 32ºF, or your cosmetics will freeze and become unusable.
Should I Refrigerate My Skincare?
Dermatologists insist that keeping your products chilled has numerous benefits for your skin.
“Cold skincare products deliver the most benefits, whether you’re looking to constrict blood vessels for a firmer, less puffy and tighter appearance, or to reduce the dark under-eye bags,”
explains David Meyer, a Doctor of Medicine from the University of Texas.
Eye creams, face mists, jade rollers, and products with high concentrations of vitamin C benefit from being stored in the fridge.
When cooled, water-based products like toners and sheet masks provide an extra refreshing effect, super beneficial to dull or sunburned skin.
“Cold products applied to the skin, in particular on skin that is swelling or red, nourish and soothe,”
says Dr. Selkin, a Dermatology Board Certified skin expert.
Selkin points out that there is compelling evidence that cold skincare products decrease puffiness and redness compared to products kept at room temp:
“cooling adds the benefit of a cold compress in addition to whatever purpose the specific product serves,” he added.
So even if your skincare regimen consists of the same few products every morning and night, keeping them inside a chilled mini fridge can help.
What Does a Skin Care Fridge Do?
Most skincare products are designed to last at room temperature.
Therefore, keeping cosmetics in beauty fridges isn’t a must unless explicitly stated by the brand.
However, keeping things like sheet masks and eye creams inside a mini-fridge will provide further skin benefits and extend the product’s shelf life.
“Apart from protecting product longevity and stability, storing certain skincare products in the fridge will augment their attributes,”
says Dr. Harold Lancer, an LA dermatologist loved by Hollywood’s A-list, including Victoria Beckham and Kim Kardashian.
“Above all, he added that dedicated skincare fridges protect your cosmetics from food odors and other potential contaminants.”
Let’s not forget the added cooling effect, as nothing compares to running a chilled jade roller across your face.
What Skincare Can I Refrigerate?
If you want to keep them last longer, you can store every cosmetic you have in a mini-fridge.
Face masks, eye masks, serums, lip balms, gua sha stones — you name it; all can be stored in a skincare fridge.
However, not all skincare products provide extra skin benefits by being chilled or kept in a fridge.
For example, one of the must be kept in the fridge products is eye creams.
The cooler temperature of an eye cream helps calm puffiness by causing vasoconstriction and restricting blood flow to the under-eye area.
A chilled eye cream can also decrease those pesky eye bags in the morning.
Another item you should stash in the skincare refrigerator is the vitamin C serum.
Dr. Selkin explains that vitamin C has a short shelf life as the ingredient breaks down when exposed to oxygen.
“A skincare fridge is a great place to store any vitamin C serum. The refrigeration will delay the oxidation process, getting you more bang for your buck,” he says.
You should avoid placing sunscreens and silicone-based products in a fridge, as they’re typically more stable at room temp.
“When too cold, the products harden in the fridge and might break down or separate in the bottle,”
explains Dr. Selkin.
Are Skincare Fridges Worth it?
It’s up to you to decide whether a skincare fridge is a worthy investment for your beauty routine.
For some, the cooling effect of refrigerated products is enough to devote an entire mini-fridge to their eye creams and sheet masks.
For others, it’s all about getting the best out there, from healthy-based reasons to ensuring the most IG-worthy selfie possible.
Conclusion
There you have it; these are the best skincare fridges on the market.
From Amazon beauty igloo skincare fridges to trusted Cooluli skincare fridges, up to the more extravagant Teami, Flawless, or Glossier beauty fridges, in all the cutest colors too!
While buying a mini-fridge for storing skincare sounds outlandish to some, the ‘skincare fridge craze’ is sweeping the wellness scene right now, and for a good reason!
