Beauty routines are never truly stagnant—practices evolve and change like we do. In As of Late, we chat with influential folks about their current products and rituals. Here, we get a snapshot of what they’re doing right now: the sacrosanct formulas they use until the last drop, the fresh launches they’ve got their eyes on, and of course, the why behind it all.
In a joyous conversation over burrata and toasted sourdough, I learned the best-kept beauty and wellness secrets of actress, YouTuber, and influencer Claudia Sulewski.
You may recognize her glowing face from her role in the film I Love My Dad, or maybe you’re one of her 2.45 million YouTube subscribers. No matter if you’ve crossed paths with Sulewski or not, her résumé proves that she’s a woman of many talents—and all at the age of 27, I might add.
Most recently, she’s ventured into creating her very own brand called Cyklar. Her goal is to eliminate wasteful, throwaway packaging and redefine what it means to sell refillable and reusable products.

“I’m on my retinol—it’s just time,” Sukewski says about her most recent beauty ritual. She notes that while she may have delayed utilizing this powerful ingredient, reaching her mid-20s has inspired her to enter the sphere of healthy aging skin care.
“Helping your skin renew itself is such big component of having healthy, radiant skin,” she explains.
Her go-to formula is the Paula’s Choice 1% Retinol Treatment—a product she adores so much that it’s now an ever-other-night occurrence in her evening wind-down.
