Kylie Jenner's highly anticipated skincare line Kylie Skin has officially launched in Mecca.

It's the first time her products are available in Australian stores - so naturally, they'll more than likely sell out quick.

Here's how to improve your skin while you sleep. Post continues below.

The launch includes eight products from the face and body collection, including the Foaming Face Wash, Walnut Face Scrub, Face Moisturiser, Eye Cream, Vanilla Milk Toner, Vitamin C Serum, Hydrating Face Mask and Coconut Body Scrub.

While the ultra-cute minimal pink packaging with her name printed across it will be enough of a drawcard for many, is the range actually worth the buzz?

After searching through countless reviews, we have some answers.

Here are the Kylie Skin products you should snag, and the ones you can leave behind.

Foaming Face Wash, $43.

So the first step in everyone's skincare routine is, of course, a cleanser. This one is a foaming cleanser.

Ingredients include glycerin which is extremely hydrating and kiwi seed oil, which is rich in vitamin C and E. The face wash is designed to hydrate, lock in moisture and according to the website, remove makeup.

But reviews note that this cleanser doesn't actually remove all makeup (especially waterproof makeup). So we'd recommend using an oil-based cleanser first.

Plus, while foaming cleansers say they're hydrating, they tend to strip the skin of its natural oils. So if you're worried about your dry skin lacking moisture, opt for a milk or cream cleanser instead.

Verdict:Leave in store.

Honestly, $43 for a basic cleanser is seriously pricey. And cleansers are not something you need to splurge on. There are plenty under $20 that will work just as good, if not better. So maybe give this one a miss.

Walnut Face Scrub, $40.

This scrub was controversial before it even hit the market.

Like the name suggests, Kylie Skin's Walnut Face Scrub uses walnut particles as the exfoliant. And much like the classic St Ives Apricot Scrub, fruit particles can cause micro-tears in the skin. No, thank you.

Popular skincare expert Caroline Hirons gave the scrub a go during a YouTube video, and it's safe to say she wouldn't use it again.

"The walnut scrub is as bad as you would imagine, I'm not a fan. At least it doesn't have anything foaming in it, so it doesn't foam while it's tearing your face off," Hirons said.

While Hirons explained that it's not as harsh as traditional physical exfoliants, it won't be good for the skin in the long run.

Verdict:Leave in store.

Physical exfoliants can easily overly exfoliant and irritate the skin. We'd recommend a chemical exfoliant instead.

Vanilla Milk Toner, $38.
