We got to ask CULT51 some questions to find out a little more about the people behind the brand, how they chose their name and what makes them so successful. CULT51 offers results driven products designed to promote youthful, brighter and firmer skin.
I approached this product with extreme scepticism and have come out a convert, which isn’t something that happens very often

The Story Behind CULT51
Our hero ‘Night Cream’ has 51 individual benefits and therefore we decided to use this unique USP and make 51 part of the brand architecture; we have 51 trialists on our review panel.
How did you get Started?
Our Founders, Richard and Michelle, set-up the brand in 2013. Richard is a cosmetic chemist and Michelle brand marketer. After years of working and developing products and brands for clients they decided to launch their own multi-tasking line, launching products packed with ingredients at a high concentrate – meaning they would live up to their claims. In July 2013 with just 200 pots of Night Cream and the help of PR, they managed to sell out before launch. They worked from home for 5 years outsourcing all the skills they needed, like PR and creative. In 2015 they launched their sister brand Instant Effects which is a more mass market brand, but again with efficacy at its heart.
At the beginning of 2019 we moved into our first office and there are now 8 of us across both brands. We are self-funded, so getting into retailers, growing the brand organically and keeping up with competitors has not been easy, however very rewarding. We will not launch a product that is not proven to fulfil its claims.
What is your U.S.P?
Our USP is that all our products are genuinely multi-tasking and are proven to live up to the hype. We have invested heavily on independent clinical trials. We find our customers are loyal because whilst we are not ‘cheap’ our products go a long way and are effective. Consumers want products which are technologically advanced and that solve more than one complaint. As a self-funded brand we are able to react quickly & be customer centric giving a more personalised service.
What is your Hero Product?
It has to be our Night Cream, a truly multi-tasking luxury cream with a raft of anti-ageing benefits from up to 52% reduction in the appearance of wrinkles in 28 days, helps to prevent hyperpigmentation, protects against photo ageing, reduces dark circles. Night Cream is thick and luxurious with our signature gardenia scent. CULT51 is an anti-ageing brand and therefore it is ideally suited to women and men 30 and over. A 50ml pot of Night Cream should last 12 weeks. Whilst Night Cream is an anti-ageing face cream, I also use as a luxurious body cream to utilise the hydrating benefits.
‘This magic face cream has amassed a huge following and we can see why’
