Can I use a regular mini fridge instead of a skincare fridge?

Technically yes, but skincare fridges have advantages. They are designed to maintain the 35 46°F range ideal for skincare, while regular mini fridges often cool to 32 35°F, which can freeze some products. Skincare fridges are also much quieter (thermoelectric vs compressor), smaller and more portable, more energy efficient, and designed to look attractive on a vanity. A dedicated skincare fridge is affordably priced and purpose built for the job for most people that is worth it over repurposing a beverage fridge.
