Curated by licensed Advanced Practice Esthetician Angela Lutz
Walk down any beauty aisle and you'll find shelf after shelf of products promising glowing, youthful skin. Flip them over, though, and the ingredient lists tell a different story: fillers, parabens, heavy synthetic fragrances and long lists of additives that do more for shelf life and scent than they ever do for your skin.
At Arch Addicts®, we believe your skin deserves better. That's why every product in the Arch Addicts® Beauty collection is chosen with one question in mind: Will this truly make a difference for the person using it?
Pharmaceutical-grade skincare, not mass-market filler
Arch Addicts® Beauty is professional, pharmaceutical-grade skincare, the same caliber of product Angela relies on in her treatment room. These formulas are built around proven, active ingredients at meaningful concentrations, not trendy buzzwords sprinkled into a jar for marketing.
That difference shows up in what you'll find in our collection:
- 20% Vitamin C Serum, a high-potency antioxidant serum for brighter, more even-looking skin
- Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum, for deep, lasting hydration
- Eye Repairing Cream with Retinol, targeted care for the delicate eye area
- Soothing Triple Antioxidant Rescue Cream, for skin that needs calm and protection
- Calming Green Tea Cleanser and Gentle Enzyme Cleanser, to cleanse without stripping
- Brush-On Mineral Powder SPF 30, everyday mineral sun protection you can sweep on over makeup
And just as important as what goes in is what stays out. Arch Addicts® products are paraben-free, cruelty-free and gluten-free, with no heavy synthetic fragrances added just to make a product smell nice. When your skin isn't busy reacting to unnecessary extras, it can focus on responding to the ingredients that actually work.
Made in the USA, held to FDA standards
Arch Addicts® products are proudly sourced and manufactured in the USA and made in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations for cosmetics and over-the-counter skincare. Products like our Brush-On Mineral Powder SPF 30 fall under the FDA's stricter rules for sunscreens, which are regulated as over-the-counter drugs.
For you, that means peace of mind: you know where your skincare comes from, and you know it's made to U.S. safety and labeling standards.
Meet Angela Lutz: the expert behind every product
The Arch Addicts® Beauty line doesn't come from a boardroom. It comes from Angela Lutz, a licensed Advanced Practice Esthetician who has spent more than two decades caring for skin and perfecting brows.
Angela founded Arch Addicts® in 2014 in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, with a simple goal: to create something that met her own exacting standards. Her training reads like a who's who of clinical skincare, including:
- Laser, LED and Broadband Light Safety Training at Minneapolis Plastic Surgery
- Certification as a Face Reality® Certified Acne Specialist
- Advanced clinical training with leading professional brands including SkinCeuticals, Obagi®, iS Clinical®, Phytomer and Revision Skincare®
Her expertise has been recognized well beyond her treatment room. Angela has been honored with a Best of Beauty Award from Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, served as a multi-year Ask the Expert contributor for the same publication, appeared on Twin Cities Live, and was invited as a guest educator at Mayo Clinic.
Carefully curated, ingredient by ingredient
Here's what truly sets Arch Addicts® Beauty apart: Angela personally curates every product in the collection and scrutinizes every ingredient that goes into it.
She sees real skin every single day, and she knows how it responds to different formulas, concentrations and textures. If a product doesn't meet her standard for performance, purity and quality, it simply doesn't make the line. No shortcuts. No fillers for the sake of cost. No compromises.
It's the same philosophy that has kept clients coming back to Angela for 15 years and more. As one longtime client puts it, Angela takes time with you and pays attention to every detail. That same attention goes into every bottle and jar with the Arch Addicts® name on it.
