Borghese is now part of Target Beauty Studio, giving the heritage skin-care brand a much easier U.S. shopping route. The useful question is not whether the assortment is new at Target, but which products justify their prices.

How we chose

We prioritized products that are currently in stock at Target, have a clear use case, meaningful formula differentiation and enough current customer feedback to surface both strengths and drawbacks. Prices were checked September 11, 2026.

Best for hydration: Acqua Ristorativo Hydrating Concentrate — $98

Target lists the water-light serum with dual-weight hyaluronic acid, collagen peptides, marine minerals and botanicals. It currently carries a 4.86/5 rating from 101 ratings. This is the splurge option for someone who specifically wants a lightweight hydrating serum and is comfortable paying luxury-skin-care pricing.

Best moisturizer: Crema Ristorativo-24 — $85

The gel-cream is built around barrier-supporting lipids, marine extracts and a hydration matrix. At Target it currently sits at 4.84/5 from 231 ratings, giving it the largest review base of these three picks. Choose this over the serum if your main problem is persistent dryness rather than layering another treatment step.

Best value: Intensive Age-Defying Exfoliant & Cleanser — $43

At $43, this is the lowest-commitment entry point in our edit and currently has a 4.87/5 rating from 190 ratings at Target. It makes more sense for shoppers who want a rinse-off product rather than another expensive leave-on treatment.

Fine print

Retailer reviews can include incentivized or brand-syndicated reviews, so ratings are a useful signal, not proof of clinical performance. Sensitive skin should be especially cautious with exfoliating acids and fragranced formulas.

Which one should you actually buy?

Start with the Intensive Age-Defying Exfoliant & Cleanser if you are Borghese-curious and want to keep the first purchase under $50. Pick Crema Ristorativo-24 if dry skin is the actual problem you are trying to solve. The $98 serum is the easiest one to skip unless its light texture and hydration profile specifically fill a gap in your routine.
