A good hyaluronic acid serum is the key to maintaining hydration. That's why I plan to add this serum from Lancôme to my cart. In addition to the hyaluronic acid, it contains skin-loving ingredients such as vitamin C, niacinamide, and ferulic acid to plump skin, treat fine lines, and smooth wrinkles.

A face mask that's gentle and exfoliating is hard to come by, which is why this Drunk Elephant pick is worth every dime. The formula—which contains 25% AHA and 2% BHA—dissolves dead skin, reduces the appearance of pores, and smoothes uneven skin. The chickpea extract also brightens skin and combats dullness.

Soft skin doesn't have to come at the cost of feeling clean. This shower oil from L'Occitane does both while the soft scents of vanilla and almond work together to create a spa-like experience. It can also be used as a shaving base, making it a true multitasking investment.

Calling all rose lovers! Salt & Stone just released a brand-new scent for its best-selling line of bodywashes: Blake Rose & Oud. It's a multi-benefit, refreshing gel body cleanser with ocean botanicals, antioxidants and natural hydrating ingredients, and it smells of blooming black florals, warm oud, and fresh vetiver.

One thing about me is I love a good everything shower finished off with a body oil for some extra glow.

Key Notes: ginger, saffron, coffee, patchouli (Spiritous Candle); cedar, rose water, cinnamon leaf (Broken Rosary Candle); nutmeg, orange citrus peel, and brushed suede (Incensorial Candle)
While you're at it, snap up Boy Smells' limited-edition Holiday Votive Trio. It includes three warm, festive scents that—according to the brand—are "designed to transport yourself into reimagined tradition." My favorite fragrance of the three is by far Broken Rosary, which combines fresh florals with warm, earthy spices.

Key Notes: pink pepper, lemon, rum absolute, clary sage oil, tobacco leaf absolute, and vanilla bean
While this fragrance is often marketed as a masculine scent, I'm here to argue that it's definitely versatile enough to be unisex (and the glowing five-star reviews agree). Recalling the cozy atmosphere of a private club, the cologne combines the scent profiles of heady cocktails with the woody notes of cigar boxes.

Key Notes: tuberose, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, jasmine, and marine accord
If you've never paired perfume with a matching hair mist, now is the time to give it a try and ultimately upgrade your fragrance game one spritz at a time. Diptyque's Do Son Eau de Parfum & Hair Mist Set is a good place to start this holiday season. Illustrating the memory of a childhood in Indochina, they mesh powdery florals with a smooth marine accord.

Key Notes: bergamot, lemon, pepper, juniper berries, incense, pine needles, orris, amber, and sandalwood
It goes without saying that I'm not the biggest fan of this product's name, but I'm definitely enamored with the woody and aromatic fragrance it represents. Inspired by a nature-driven lifestyle, the eau de parfum draws from the scents of fresh soil, deep forests, and campfires.

Combat dull, uneven, and rough skin with the help of this daily exfoliating toner. Its powerful formula uses glycolic acid, Tasmanian pepper berry, ginseng root, and aloe vera to exfoliate and soothe from inside out while delivering visible radiance. If you have sensitive skin, don't worry—it's ideal for use on all skin types.

Retinol is one of those ingredients that many newcomers to the world of skincare tend to stay away from, but finding gentle products like this one can completely transform your skincare routine with little effort or risk. Balanced with blue tansy and German chamomile essential oils, it works while you sleep to improve the appearance of fine lines, radiance, and texture.

TikTok made me buy this (and I couldn't be happier with my decision months later). This anti-aging moisturizer uses hyaluronic acid to visibly plump and diminish the appearance of lines, leaving skin glowing. It was developed my world-renowned makeup artists Charlotte Tilbury to create a glow base to work on for her celebrity clientele.

Get all the benefits of the Blue Lagoon without having to book a flight. This volcanic black lava mask gently exfoliates and renews skin while promoting an even skin tone and texture, resulting in a smooth complexion. Ideal for all skin types, the mask harnesses the exfoliating properties of the bioactive Blue Lagoon Lava, removes dead skin cells, and regenerates cell turnover.

This mascara uses a lightweight gel formula full of tiny dimensional fibers that coat the lashes with intense color pigments for maximum volume and high-impact drama. The High-Def Wave Brush has wavy bristles that comb and disperse the fibers throughout the lashes and has a precision tip to easily catch and define small corner lashes with ease.

Westman Atelier's clean, creamy contour stick uses an intuitive trace-and-blend formula that won't interfere with other makeup and helps protect the skin against environmental stressors with soothing ingredients.

This matte eye shadow stick has received Gen Z's stamp of approval via TikTok. It has a 24-hour, pigment-rich cream formula that glides across the skin for easy blending and building without tugging, flaking, or creasing.

Fight the frizz with this blow-dry and heat-protectant cream by Briogeo. It's a lightweight finishing formula infused with a nourishing blend of rose hip, argan, and coconut oils that smoothes hair, enhances shine, and protects your strands from heat up to 450ºF and free radical damage. It's also vegan, cruelty-free, and from a proudly Black-owned and -founded brand.

Ideal for all hair types, Olaplex's best-selling at-home concentrated treatment addresses compromised and damaged hair, strengthening and protecting it from inside out to restore a healthy appearance and texture. If you've been combating breakage, split ends, or brittleness, this could be the product your haircare routine has been missing. 

Designed to create big curls and soft waves with a 1 1/4–inch large barrel and spring-activated lever, this curling iron features ultra-zone technology to deliver even heat to your strands while its advanced ceramic coating delivers a smoother curl. The ultra-zone technology maintains the correct styling temperature of 365°F with each section of hair.

This one has been all over my TikTok For You page (and for good reason). Engineered for multiple hair types, lengths, and styles, the Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler works to curl, shape, and smooth your hair with styling attachments that have been reengineered with enhanced Coanda airflow for increased control.

This serum recieves rave reviews from users thanks to its ability to target a wide range of skin concerns, including photodamage, loose skin, dullness, fine lines, and wrinkles. The combination of vitamins C and E plus ferulic acid (which doubles the photoprotection benefits of the vitamins) are what makes it so effective. Together the three antioxidants work to decrease free radical damage to cells and slow down the ageing process.

Take a close look at the ingredient list and you'll see that alongside vitamin C, this serum also contains tocopherol (pure vitamin E) and ferulic acid, ticking all of the boxes to make it a dupe for the above. What's more, it also contains skin-brightening niacinamide and a host of hydration heroes (glycerin, squalane, and hyaluronic acid).

Perhaps the most famous serum in the world, Advanced Night Repair has been a staple on bathroom shelves since it first launched in 1982. The formula has since been revamped with a new molecule that prompts skin to create fresh new cells, while antioxidants offer protection and hyaluronic acid provides 72 hours of hydration. The result? Skin feels firmer and smoother, and looks brighter and clearer.

If your skincare budget doesn't allow for spending over £100 on one product, but you still want a powerful multi-tasking serum in your routine, look no further. Combining retinol, amino acids, peptides, squalane, and antioxidants, this do-it-all formula targets fine lines, wrinkles, firmness, and texture.

With benefits for skin concerns ranging from mature to breakout-prone, this serum draws upon six powerful peptides to repair damaged skin and boost collagen production. The hero ingredient, Copper Tripeptide-1 has impressive wound-healing and skin remodelling properties, so it's especially beneficial for targeting post-breakout scarring and signs of ageing.

The lower price point of this serum is reflective of the fact that it contains a lower concentration of peptides than the NIOD serum. But, since it still contains Copper Tripeptide-1, you will ultimately achieve similar results - it might just take you a little longer to see them.

With 0.5% pure retinol, this powerful serum works overnight to target fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, and loss of firmness and elasticity. Since retinol can cause dryness and irritation (especially if you're new to the ingredient or have sensitive skin), the serum is accompanied by a buffer cream which can be mixed in to reduce any unwanted side effects.

A fuss-free and affordable dupe of the above, CeraVe's newest serum combines retinol with three essential ceramides. Together the ceramides work simultaneously to lock in skin's moisture and strengthen its protective barrier, preventing irritation and dryness from the retinol while it works to target fine lines, wrinkles, exposed pores, and post-acne marks. No mixing required.

This cult favourite serum is renowned for its ability to brighten dull skin and smooth rough texture. The star ingredient is glycolic acid, a powerful chemical exfoliant which works by dissolving the dead skin cells that clog pores and contribute to uneven tone and texture. 

Although it contains a lower strength of glycolic acid (4% versus 7%), this actually makes this serum a more sensitive skin-friendly alternative to the above, as well as a more budget-friendly dupe. Glycolic acid is fast-acting and effective, but it can cause irritation, especially if your skin is sensitive or you're new to using acid exfoliants. 

Hyaluronic acid is renowned for its ability to draw moisture into the skin, but did you know that there's more than one type of hyaluronic acid? This serum actually contains three weights of the ingredient, which means it has the ability to target three different layers of the skin for instant and long-lasting hydration.

This dupe only features two weights of hyaluronic acid, but it does include additional skin-soothing ingredients which make it a great all-rounder for all skin types. "Those with dry skin are ideal candidates for a hydrating serum but all skin types will benefit," says Khorana. "Both mature and young skin alike can use a hydrating serum and they can be a great oil-free option for breakout prone skin."

If you're sensitive to acid exfoliation, but still want a brightening boost, consider adding a vitamin C serum to your routine. With 15% ascorbic acid (a high strength form of vitamin C which is clinically proven to fade hyperpigmentation) and pumpkin ferment extract (for gentle enzyme exfoliation) this serum works fast. 

Naturium takes a science-first approach while still catering to an accessible price point, and like the above, this serum combines vitamin C with fruit extracts (in this case pineapple and papaya) for a two-pronged approach to brightening skin. "It's formulated with an efficacious vitamin C complex, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E," explains Onyejekwe. "So this skin-brightening serum works to protect the skin from environmental damage (think pollution and UV rays) whilst leaving you with a radiant complexion."

Ceramides have been used in formulations for years but have recently gained popularity due to their ability to strengthen the skin barrier, prevent dehydration, and provide moisture without clogging pores. These single-dose capsules are not only fun to use but are also perfect for travel.

Beauty Pie is another brand we love when shopping for beauty on a budget. The beauty buyers' club cuts out the middlemen with a direct-to-consumer model, which means you get access to premium products at a fraction of their RRP. The brand's ceramide capsule offering contains the same amount of capsules (60) as the above, for just £16.

Salicylic acid is a great ingredient for targeting signs of oily skin, like excess sebum, enlarged pores, blackheads, and breakouts. Alongside soothing bisabolol and green tea extract, it's the key player in this soothing gel serum.

The Ordinary's version of the above costs less than 1/6th of its price. The only catch? Salicylic acid is literally the only ingredient in this formula. I love using this clear gel as a targeted spot treatment during the day, since it's totally invisible and layers well beneath makeup.

Mushrooms are (in my opinion) very underrated as skincare ingredients because there's not much they can't do. Origins' Mega-Mushroom range draws upon the benefits of three different varieties, chosen for their abilities to reduce redness, soothe irritation, and calm inflammation.

Although this serum contains only one variety of mushroom, it's accompanied by cica, an ingredient famous for its soothing and calming properties. If your skin is naturally sensitive or you've experienced a reaction or breakout, this serum offers immediate comfort and relief (and won't break the bank in the process). What's more, most of Beauty Bay's affordable serum range is designed to be layered together, perfect if you want to target multiple concerns at once.

For anyone who wants to target signs of ageing skin, peptides are a must-have, and this powerful serum combines ingredients specifically chosen to tackle mature skin concerns. The blend includes Matrixyl 3000, a powerful peptide complex which boosts collagen production to reduce the appearance of wrinkles with long-lasting benefits.

No7's patented Matrixyl 3000+ is even more powerful than the original technology, which is why this serum is such a bestseller. Clinical trials demonstrate that lines and wrinkles appear visibly reduced in just four weeks.

A souped up, creamy serum, this is one of my favourite products to recommend to people with dry skin. The formula is packed with ceramides, which strengthen the skin barrier in order to prevent moisture from escaping.

Offering affordable solutions to skin concerns like dull skin, breakouts, and pigmentation, Glow Hub's serums are (in my opinion) the unsung heroes of the product range. And they cost just £14... This lightweight but nourishing serum boosts dry skin with a combo of ceramides and amino fatty acids.

This top-rated serum is great for targeting dry and dehydrated skin, but works well for all skin types. The texture is silky and absorbs easily into skin, layering well beneath other products (including makeup).

The Inkey List's results-driven serums feature tried-and-tested ingredients and minimal packaging in order to keep prices low. "This is a brilliant, basic hyaluronic serum for those on a budget," says Onyejekwe. "If you have no major concerns but are finding your skin is feeling tight and dehydrated, you may want to give this a go. I like to apply to immediately after my face mist and lock in with a moisturiser."

Niacinamide is a true multitasking ingredient with benefits for pretty much every skin type and concern. Dehydration? Pigmentation? Breakouts? Excess oil? You name it, niacinamide will fix it. In this crowd-pleasing serum it's blended alongside hyaluronic acid and antioxidants, so there's no need to layer multiple serums - this one does it all.

Want to experience the benefits of niacinamide without the hefty price tag? Naturium's serum is a quarter of the price of the above, and combines niacinamide with zinc (which reduces inflammation and aids healing). This particular formula is great for people prone to breakouts.

Who doesn't want healthier, brighter, glowier skin? Drawing upon known skin-brightening ingredients including niacinamide and lactic acid, this formula aids dullness and hyperpigmentation in order to improve skin tone and prevent discolouration.

Byoma's budget-friendly serums are each geared towards a specific skin concern, which makes it easy to figure out the best one for your skin. And if dullness and discolouration are on your agenda, you'll find this particular serum an excellent dupe for the above. The formula combines ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid for radiant results.

Aussie brand Ultra Violette has yet to make a sunscreen that doesn’t impress. Meeting the tough standards of Australian sunscreen regulations means its formulations are some of the best in the world. This particular formula is packed with hydrators to give skin an added moisture boost while it protects.

Featuring a unique combination of vitamin C and niacinamide, this moisturiser is an antioxidant powerhouse, proven to even skin tone and texture in just 14 days. Exactly what you need to tackle pigmentation, brighten skin and boost collagen production.

If your skin is in need of an all-round boost, Eve Lom’s new retinol serum will do the heavy lifting by strengthening the skin’s moisture barrier, boosting hydration and targeting the appearance of fine lines for healthier, happier skin.
 

A staple product in every makeup artist's kit thanks to its ability to quickly and effectively break down even the most stubborn waterproof makeup. What’s more, this particular formula was developed with sensitive skin in mind, so it won’t cause any irritation. 

The best cleansers make washing your face more than just a chore. They make it feel like a luxurious experience. This silky-textured cleansing oil does just that and melts away even the most stubborn makeup residue in the process.

Powered by succinic acid, mild fruit AHAs and fermented enzymes, this deliciously refreshing formula wicks skin clean, leaving it bright and super smooth.

Unlike the thick, chalky formulas of yesteryear, this serum-like sunscreen effortlessly blends into skin, feeling weightless and appearing totally invisible.

Want to keep your SPF topped up even when you’re wearing makeup? This invisible face mist does the hard work for you without disturbing your foundation. 

Nécessaire’s mission is to teach people the importance of bodycare, so it only makes sense that its latest launch is all about the neck. Thanks to a bevy of collagen-creating ingredients, skin soon appears firmer and lifted.

Delivered via an innovative roller applicator, this well-reviewed formula utilises peptides to visibly firm, tighten and tone loose skin, while polysaccharide strengthens the skin’s moisture barrier to improve hydration levels.

Hyaluronic acid, protein peptides, squalane and a plant-based alternative to retinol work together and individually to firm, nourish and smooth the appearance of fine lines and crepiness on the neck and décolletage. User trials show impressive results over time.

If it’s nourished, comforted skin you’re after, this legendary moisturiser was made for winter skincare routines. The thick cream is loaded with ceramides, fatty acids and even algae extract, which helps to lock hydration into skin.

Thanks to its creamy texture and ceramide-enriched formula, this cleanser is gentle enough to use twice a day every day without stripping skin.
 

The most hardworking skin on your body deserves some extra TLC, especially in winter when skin dryness worsens. More than just a regular hand cream, this mask is perfect for slathering on overnight. You’ll wake up to smoother, softer skin.

The lightweight gel texture makes it ideal for those with oily or combination skin types.

This luxurious cream delivers rich moisture that leaves skin plump and glowing all day long.

Whenever I use this face cream, I'm guaranteed to get compliments on my skin. It's a little richer than I would usually go for in the summer, but it's my go-to for winter months.

Beauty insiders consider Lumene's Nordic C range one of the most effective around for instant glow-boosting results.

This moisturizer contains some very impressive technology considering its price. With vitamin C to deliver antioxidant protection and a tri-peptide to boost skin elasticity, it's a great all-rounder.

If your skin is dry, dull, and lackluster, I can't recommend this wonderful moisturizer enough. It leaves skin looking bouncy, glowing, and full of life after just one use. Use it once and you'll never look back.

Although technically a serum, this vitamin C treatment from Dr. Barbara Sturm has a creamy consistency, so I regularly use it in place of moisturizer on warmer days. Yes, it's expensive, but it's great.

It may seem counterintuitive to use a facial oil to unclog pores, but trust me—this one does just that. It absorbs in a flash, balances sebum levels thanks to jojoba oil, squalane, and full-spectrum CBD and helps fight breakouts in the process with blue tansy and tea tree. 

On days when my skin is especially irritable, I know I can rely on this sleep mask (aka, fancy nighttime moisturizer). The niacinamide, plant-based peptides, vitamin C, and blue tansy work in tandem to help bring my skin back down to earth—and the natural chamomile scent lulls me in to a sleepy bedtime-ready state.

This solid face moisturizer has a low-comedogenic kokum butter base that melts on contact, plus plum kernel, rose-hip, grape-seed, and camellia oils for additional hydration. But that pale seafoam color? That comes from tamanu oil and blue tansy, which help calm and color-correct redness. 

The color of this face balm is about as good as it gets, but luckily, it’s more than just looks. Super-moisturizing ingredients like shea butter, camellia-seed oil, and virgin marula oil soften and cushion even the driest skin, while blue tansy helps reduce redness and irritation. 

This jelly mask is made just for dry and sensitive skin types. The added hyaluronic acid hydrates skin, while blueberry extract and turmeric add antioxidant protection. It’s practically a January Skin™ miracle. 

This bright-blue cleansing balm is a must for dry skin types. Not only does it nourish skin as it removes makeup and excess oil, but it can also be used as a face mask. Simply leave on for up to 20 minutes to let the blue tansy, German chamomile, and moringa butter calm and moisturize skin. 

Herbivore’s line of blue tansy products is actually what introduced me to the ingredient, including this pretty gel mask. Rather than the typical clay masks used to treat acne, the cooling formula feels refreshing but still offers the same breakout-fighting benefits thanks to willowbark extract (which contains salicylic acid), exfoliating fruit enzymes, and the titular blue tansy. 

This milky serum got its name because it’s, well, the total package. In addition to blue tansy for skin clarity, it also has hyaluronic acid and ceramides to hydrate and strengthen skin and licorice extract to reduce redness.

Crafted in small batches, this face oil contains a blend of ingredients intended to enhance your glow. In addition to blue tansy, it’s also naturally rich in vitamin C and omega-3, -6, and -9, so it protects, seals in moisture, and clarifies all in one.

This lightweight serum also has a little bit of everything: bakuchiol (a plant-based retinol alternative), carrot oil to moisturize, and, of course, blue tansy to keep things calm.

Chillhouse, the NYC-based spa, lives up to its name in both experience and its product line, including this tansy-tinged face oil. Massage onto skin before bed, and wake up to a glowier, more rested-looking complexion in the morning. 

Thanks to its clarifying properties, blue tansy is a great addition to toners targeted to acne-prone skin. With aloe vera, witch hazel, and rose water, Blume’s toner mist refreshes and helps clear up even the angriest complexions. 

A blend of three "blues”—tansy, chamomile, and yarrow—lends a calming touch to this moisturizing face balm, which also contains marula and prickly pear seed oils to help seal in hydration.

This super-rich hand-and-body butter is a miracle for dry skin. And although it comes in a variety of scents and formulas, the blue tansy and chamomile option is sweet and relaxing, particularly when used before bed.

The ingredient’s skin-clearing superpowers extend below the neck as well. Case in point: Megababe’s toning body mist, which also relies on salicylic acid, witch hazel, and niacinamide to easily clear body breakouts. 

With go-to hydrators like aloe, jojoba oil, and shea butter, this body cream is already off to a great start. But it’s the touch of blue tansy and lavender that takes it to the next level in soothing parched skin. 

Sunday Riley's beloved oil uses trans-retinoic acid ester, a gentler form of retinol that's still effective at softening the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Add in calming blue tansy and German chamomile for soothing properties, and it's a cocktail for even-toned, smoother, and all-around glowing skin.

This minimalist formula is made with the brand's signature nourishing marula oil as its base, 0.5% retinol, and ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier. It's a great choice for anyone easing into retinol or those who've experienced irritation from the ingredient.

Don't sleep on retinol as an acne treatment. This facial oil features the ingredient along with pore-clearing salicylic acid and moisturizing jojoba, argan, and rose-hip oils to help protect the skin barrier. 

You'll love the lightweight, dry-oil consistency almost as much as you love the effects of the biomimetic retinol, which mimics skin's own natural processes so you see major results.

This overnight treatment oil is made with 2% vegan retinol, so if your skin is on the sensitive side, try using it two or three nights a week and build up from there. 

It may be pricey, but fans of this clean, nourishing 1.2% retinol oil are willing to spend—so much so that it's sold out on multiple occasions.

Not only is this oil made with 1% retinol, but it also contains bakuchiol, which may boost both ingredients' efficacy. 

This affordable option is made with a bioavailable form of retinol called hydroxypinacolone retinoate, plus hydrating (and vegan) squalane. 

Thanks to its high concentration of vitamin A, rose-hip oil is often touted as a natural source of retinol. It's the main ingredient in this naturally sourced oil, which also contains moisturizing jojoba oil, apricot-kernel oil, and softening neroli. 

Lightweight, effective, and under $40? As if we needed additional proof that the team at Neutrogena knows their retinol.

Not ready to commit to full-on retinol? Bakuchiol—a plant-based retinol alternative—is the star of the show here. Even better, it also has vitamin C to up the antioxidant and skin-brightening power.

Retinol can break down when exposed to light, so these little single-use capsules help preserve the oil inside. Bonus: They're travel-friendly!

A blend of hydrating oils—marula, sweet almond, and argan—and antioxidant-rich cranberry-seed oil round out this recently updated formula from Jordan Samuel Skin, which features pure retinol. 

If you want results without spending too much, this highly rated formula has similar ingredients to a lot of the other products on this list, but it's a steal at $24. 

This moisturizing formula is made with rose-hip oil as well as bidens pilosa, another retinol alternative option that reduces the chance of irritation.

Celebrity hairstylist Harry Josh’s tools are known for their fun mint-green color—and for being some of the absolute best on the market. All of them are a whopping 30% off during the sale, so there’s no time like the present to scoop up this three-in-one curling iron. 

I don’t know about you, but my frizz situation has been off the charts this summer. That’s why I’ve got my eye on this hair mask, which not only deeply hydrates hair, but also prevents static and flyaways thanks to the brand’s patented Healthy Hair Molecule. 

You really can’t go wrong with any of this beloved K-beauty brand’s skincare products. But its cleansing oil that somehow magically removes every speck of makeup and leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated is a forever fave. 

The only thing to love more than Briogeo’s amazing hair cleansers? The fact that they’re offered in a mega-size. Packed with avocado oil, shea butter, and quinoa extract, this gentle and moisturizing co-wash is worth going for the full 16 ounce option.

When’s the last time you replaced your mascara? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Freshen up your makeup bag with this volumizing and lengthening formula made with nourishing castor oil. Bonus: It’s waterproof!

Part shampoo, part scalp treatment, this scalp scrub reached cult-favorite status long before "scalp care” became a thing. It’s pretty much a must-buy if you’re dealing with product buildup and/or excess oil.

If you haven’t tried this multipurpose hair product, consider this sale a sign (FYI: A bottle of it is sold every 60 seconds). Whether used as a dry shampoo or for adding a bit of grit and texture to your hair, you’ll reach for it daily. 

As a society, we may not have created a product that literally wipes away acne, but these pads come pretty close. With glycolic, lactic and malic acids, they exfoliate skin and clear pores while willowbark extract keeps skin soothed. (Note: The discount on this brand only lasts five days, so get on that!)

The PMD facial brush is a best-seller, but hear me out on the body brush: One side features a silicone brush to deep clean, while the other can be swapped out with loofah, massage, and exfoliating attachments. It’s luxe, but worth it. 

It’s hard to briefly sum up what this little microcurrent tool does, but it’s a favorite of derms and skin influencers for a reason. Use it for five minutes a day with the included primer gel to stimulate the skin and facial muscles, revealing glowier, more lifted skin. If you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the time to give it a shot. 

At this point, Slip pillowcases are pretty much synonymous with beauty sleep. For max savings, I’m going for the set, which also includes the brand's Insta-famous (and equally soft) eye mask. 

The brand recently launched its first sunscreen—a blend of physical and chemical actives—and the crowds went wild. You can read my full review here, but at 20% off all you need to know is that it’s worth stocking up on a tube (or two). 

Celebs like Olivia Culpo and Sam Smith trust Kate Somerville with their skin, so you know her products are good. This gentle exfoliant is one of the brand’s best-sellers and leaves skin with that just-left-the-spa glow. 

I keep one of these eye balms in my medicine cabinet and purse because you never know when you’ll need a boost of brightening (and the instant cooling sensation is straight-up addictive). Puffy eyes? I don’t know her. 

Emma Watson famously uses this product, which softens body hair and prevents ingrowns. And yes, it’s meant for pubic hair, but TBH, you can use it all over.

If I could have an endless supply of these refreshing, travel-friendly eye masks, I would find a way to make that happen. Since I can’t, this sale is a great way to get my personal stash in a good place.

‘Tis the season for highlighter—although when is it not? This creamy, not-too-shimmery shade is loaded with skin-loving ingredients like coconut oil and vitamin E. Plus, it somehow looks perfect on just about everyone.

Herbivore products are so fantastic and beautifully packaged, sometimes I just sigh looking at them. Its sapphire-colored, skin-clarifying facial oil contains a mix of acne-fighting azulene and hydrating squalane, and at 15%, off it’s a little easier on the wallet.

Does anything sound more luxurious than cleansing spa water? I think not. This micellar water is sourced from Japanese hot springs and pumped up with mineral-rich white birch sap so it enriches skin as it removes makeup, oil, and other impurities.

Good news and bad news: The good news is that buying this celeb-loved antioxidant serum earns you three times the points in your Dermstore rewards account. The bad news is that there’s no additional discount, but trust me—it’s worth the investment. 

"Any product that contains skin-plumping properties will immediately get my attention—and in this regard, hyaluronic acid is one of the best ingredients. The under-$15 price is also very alluring." — Yolanda

"My daughter has been telling me to add a niacinamide serum more permanently into my routine, and she swears by this one. The vitamin helps to strengthen the skin's lipid barrier, which makes the process of moisture retention easier. It can also reduce inflammation post-breakout."

"Who wouldn't want to try something so exotic-sounding like cactus water? The name alone instantly piqued my interest. After some research, I learned that cactus water is somewhat of a buzzy ingredient in skincare right now, so I'm curious to know what all the hype is about. Apparently, cactus water is loaded with antioxidants that can also help the skin absorb moisture and keep it hydrated."

"I always love a great nighttime oil, and with the retinol boost to help with the appearance of pores, this seems promising. Did I mention that I'm a Sunday Riley stan?"

"I always try to seek out new Black-owned beauty brands to test out, and I love Rosen's holistic, clean approach. The next time I have a bad breakout, you better believe this is going directly on it!"

"AHA, or alpha hydroxy acid, is already a big part of my current face routine, so I thought why not see how it works for the rest of my body? The other products in Glow Recipe's Watermelon Glow line smell immaculate, and I definitely would not mind my body smelling the same. I'm curious to see if this can even out my skin tone in some of the areas prone to hyperpigmentation like the elbows and knees."

"One of the reasons I love Bobbi Brown products so much is that they are never oily or greasy. Since I'm doing my makeup more and more now, something that's a primer and moisturizer all in one really feels like the best of both worlds."

"Back to my AHA obsession with bodycare. I've never used a body serum before, and the skincare obsessive within me is convinced that I may need this without even realizing it. In the spirit of the summer, I want the glowiest, most even, and softest skin possible right now, and this serum really sounds like it can deliver."

"I feel guilty at the prospect of cheating on my current vitamin C serum, but this one just looks too good. What really got me is the 20% THD ascorbate complex, which is known as one of the more potent forms of vitamin C on the market. It also promises to diminish fine lines, so you know my ears instantly perked up."

"The one step in my routine where I struggle most is my under-eyes. Finding an eye cream that can give me that rested look as well as blur fine lines is a priority for me. I've been really impressed with all of the AmorePacific products I've tried so far, so I have high hopes that this eye cream could be a serious contender!"

"I told you I'm serious about improving my skin's elasticity! There's something so soothing about massaging the face after a long day, and I will attest that I've noticed a decrease in puffiness since doing one nightly. I usually use my hands, but I'm eager to take my face time to the next level with a full-fledged facial roller. First of all, the shape! I have a feeling you can get really deep to contour the face with this tool. Since it's metal, I can throw this in the fridge before use for an intense cooling effect."

"This year, I'm doing more to address my skin's firmness. Learning how to Gua Sha is something I plan on doing in the future, but I'm also interested in creams and serums that directly target firmness. I've talked about my love for Caudalie's Vinoperfect line before, so I have high hopes for this Firming Night Cream. I read that it includes a vegan collagen alternative, so it's also ideal for those who are eco-conscious."

"If you're well-versed in the religion of skincare, then I'm sure this product doesn't need much of an introduction. This is probably the most raved-about serum I've ever come across on the internet, but I'll admit the hefty price tag dissuaded me from immediately jumping on the bandwagon. It's been years since I first heard about the magic smoothing powers of Vinter's Daughter, and to my surprise, I haven't heard about a negative experience yet. Absolutely, I will be trying it this year!"

"Last year, I became a fan of Éminence products after trying the brand's Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Concentrate and Rosehip Whip Moisturizer—my face has never been glowier since! Next up, I'm eyeing the Monoi Age Corrective Night Cream. I could always use a little help with neck firmness, and I'm highly intrigued with the argan oil and nutmeg extract blend it claims increases firmness."

"For obvious reasons, AmorePacific isn't a brand that I buy in bulk. If I were a millionaire, I would keep the line stocked because it's that good (the moisturizer is the only big skin splurge I can continuously justify), but for my next big-money purchase, I'm eyeing the Skin Reserve Serum. Properly hydrating the skin is a big component to improving elasticity and preventing fine lines, and this serum promises to do just that with its one-of-a-kind green tea complex. Apparently, this green tea extract contains higher amounts of antioxidants and has a high amino acid concentration, ultimately producing an extremely potent serum."

"More than its useful soothing properties, I just love the little designs on these. I can imagine adding them to my intensive-mask days as a little pick-me-up for my under-eyes."

"Adding a little cleanser to the mix with Summer Fridays' protein-rich face wash. The formula is loaded with amino acids—11 to be exact—that reportedly specifically improve elasticity. Another detail I noticed is that it's pH-balanced—a huge factor for me since maintaining an acid environment for my face is key to acne prevention."

"One noticeable gap within my daily routine is definitely retinol. I haven't found one that I love quite yet, so I'm always searching for my perfect formula. There are a few reasons SkinMedica's Retinol Complex has got my attention more than the others. For one, it's a high-strength retinol, so I'm confident it will effectively address my fine lines, and next, it's still gentle enough to be used on darker skin tones."

"On the days when I want light coverage with just a hint of blurring, I want to reach for something that I know will work for my skin and be the perfect shade. Having a really good base like a tinted moisturizer is one of my secrets to looking fresh-faced."

"Another product I've heard so much about from my daughter. It's almost that time of year when it gets excruciatingly hot in the South, and for good measure, I like to have a face mist around that can set my makeup and get my skin feeling nourished."

By far one of my favourite cleansers ever, this stuff contains clay to minimise the appearance of pores and keep oiliness in check but also uses neroli oil to calm and nourish. It leaves skin looking bright and feeling comfortable. I have used this product for years and fall back in love with it every time I crack open a new bottle.

Brand new from the brand (meaning I myself am yet to try this), this moisturiser harnesses the hydrating powers of ceramides. Vital in maintaining a healthy skin barrier, some of my favourite products ever have ceramides at the heart of their formulas. It's safe to say I can't wait to get my hands on this.

If you love a glow-enhancing face oil, this stuff doesn't just look great in the bottle. Rich in essential fatty acids, it provides skin the fundamental building blocks it needs to keep it looking and feeling healthy.

As far as glycolic treatments go, this one is definitely on the much more expensive side of things. However, coming from someone who doesn't usually get on too well with glycolic acid, even I can admit it leaves my skin looking clearer and more radiant. 

The C.E.O. range is probably the one that gives the most instantly glowing results. With vitamin C to deliver antioxidant benefits and work on long-term skin health and glow, this oil also contains turmeric for an instantly more radiant finish.

This is deal for those who are experiencing pigmentation, dullness and dark spots. One of my close friends (who isn't in the beauty industry) refers to this powerful vitamin C serum as her "special potion."

If you like the sound of the serum but want something with a bit more of a hydration hit, this cream delivers it all. 

As someone who has extremely dark circles, it's safe to say I'm a bit fed up of eye creams that promise to "brighten" always letting me down. And while this one doesn't get rid of my under-eye circles (nothing does), it does make me look more awake.

While my sensitive skin is far too fragile for a retinoid this intensive, I have it on good authority from a close beauty editor pal that this is one of the best skin-smoothing serums out there.

How luxurious can a cleansing balm actually be? Well, in the words of Cady Heron, the limit does not exist. With cocoa butter, blue tansy and chamomile, this balm to milk cleanser is one of the most beautifully calming products I have ever owned. 

If the concept of the powerful A+ Retinoid Serum is a little intimidating, Luna is its luxurious, slightly gentler little sister. Mixing a retinoid with nourishing botanical oils, it aims to decrease the appearance of pores and fight the signs of premature ageing.

I must warn you it takes more than a little while to get used to the medicinal, slightly funky smell of this face oil. However, once you get there, it's so worth it. Ideal for those with skin prone to blackheads and breakouts, this salicylic acid–rich oil also contains tea tree and hexylresorcinol to diminish blemishes and promote an even-toned complexion.

Niacinamide is a powerhouse ingredient with benefis for almost every skin type. Whether you're looking to minimise the appearance of pores, reduce redness, brighten areas of hyperpigmentation, or improve moisture levels, this hardworking serum will do just the trick.

For skin that really glows, look no further. This nourishing cream combines hydrating and brightening benefits for deliver an instant skin boost.

I'm sure you've heard it before, but regular exfoliation equals more radiant skin. I haven't found an exfoliator I like as much as this, and it's been six years since I've started using it. What I love most is that it's a peeling gel and not harsh at all. I apply a thin layer to my face and let it sit for a few minutes before massaging it in a circular motion. As the gel is rubbed, it rolls up off the skin, picking up the outermost layer of dead skin cells. Gross? Yes. But totally necessary to do a couple of times a week to keep my complexion youthful-looking. 

Full disclosure: I've only been using this for three weeks, but man, it has made a huge difference in my overall skin tone and texture. The first few days my skin was pilling (a lot) and I had a few more blemishes than normal, but I think my skin was just adjusting. Anyway, it does a whole bunch of things because it's formulated with antioxidants, vitamins C and E, and retinol. This helps minimize pores, brighten dark spots, and fade fine lines and wrinkles. It's super lightweight, spreads easily, and dries to a taut shield, so you should definitely follow up with a moisturizer.

I'm mad at myself for caving and buying this last year because it's really pricy, but it's also really, really effective, so I try and remind myself of that every time I have to replenish it. This stuff is magic in a bottle, probably because it uses over 22 active ingredients that work in synergy to help fight signs of aging and create a clear, even-toned firm and radiant complexion. I put a few drops into the palm of my hand and press the product into my skin for a few seconds and repeat, pushing and pressing it in on my entire face. It also smells dreamy. I will never say enough good things about it.

I've used this cream on and off over the years but always come back to it when the temperature starts to dip. It's heavier than I typically go for, but when my skin feels extra tight, dry, or flaky, this stuff brings it back to life and makes my overall complexion more supple.

The absolute worst thing you can do to your skin is not wear sunscreen. Seriously. I put my skin through so much shit growing up and really wish I listened to literally anyone who told me I should wear SPF daily. I probably wouldn't have as many sunspots had I listened! My SPF of choice is this because it goes on easily, doesn't leave a weird white cast, and I can still apply my makeup without it getting all creased and weird-looking. 

I feel like as soon as I turned 25, my eyes completely changed. Some days, I wake up totally normal, and other days, my eyes are bloodshot or swollen. Aging is weird, everyone! But this stuff works in like a minute and always makes the white of my eyes so much clearer and brighter. 

If you're in your 20s, you should be using some form of retinoid or retinol solution if you want to see results, no ifs ands or buts. Retinoid and retinol are both vitamin A derivatives, but retinoids have a higher concentration of the active ingredient, so it's a lot stronger. Straight-up retinoid hasn't worked for me, but this high-dose retinol serum has done wonders for my skin. It's lightweight, not drying at all, and delivers results without any drawbacks, really. 

Vitamin C is basically a dream ingredient to use for delivering age-defying results, but combining it with banana powder? That's a whole other story. This eye cream is a brightening powerhouse and I always seem to come back to it. It helps reduce discoloration and signs of aging while just brightening up the entire eye area. 

Eyecare is a big thing for me. I love throwing these on while doing other things on my to-do list. They're infused with a potent peptide ingredient that brightens, reduces the appearance of puffy, sagging skin, and even prevents the appearance of wrinkles. 

There's nothing healthy-looking about dry, cracked lips, but this treatment keeps my pout at its best. It's soothing, nourishing, and leaves a thin layer of coverage that looks like a gloss. People always compliment me when I'm wearing it. 

It's been said that one of the things that can give your age away is your neck. I don't have any good reason as to why I never really paid much attention to mine earlier in my 20s, but I 100% regret it (though this serum has helped). I'm not obsessing over the little horizontal lines nearly as much as I used to, so there's that. This serum is a delightful blend of things like rose-hip seed, sea buckthorn, caffeine crystals, and more that help tighten, brighten, heal, and nourish the skin. The scent alone is healing—especially after a long day. 

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not as diligent about keeping the rest of my skin in tip-top shape as I am with my face, but dry brushing a few times a week before hopping in the shower makes all the difference. It increases circulation, stimulates drainage from the lymphatic system, and just makes my skin look healthy instead of a dry, flaky mess.

This is one of my favorite tools of all time. It's a facial scraper that increases blood circulation, which increases elastin and collagen. It also helps with lymphatic drainage. My skin always looks way more lifted and brighter after using it. 

Sometimes, I wake up and my skin just looks like crap—plain and simple. But using an ice roller first thing in the morning really wakes my complexion up. Not only does it calm redness and irritation, but it also minimizes the appearance of pores and gives my skin a post-workout glow. 

I started using this a few years ago and have nothing but good things to say about it. It's a microcurrent facial toning device. Think of it as a five-minute facelift without any surgery (or pain for that matter). After cleansing, slather on a gel primer and slowly glide the device over your face and neck. It really does help tone facial muscles while improving contour and skin tone. 

Like I've said before, one of the best things you can do to reveal younger-looking skin is to exfoliate, and this micro-roller helps to do just that. It has tiny little needles that gently exfoliate the top layer of skin, which helps boost radiance, decrease the appearance of dull skin, and makes your complexion look so much smoother, plumper, and firmer. I try—keyword, try—to use it at least once a week.

This is another little facial massager I swear by. I try and use it every night and always feel like my skin looks more awake and less dark and dull. It also just feels good at the end of a long day.

I tend to stay away from foundation (unless it’s my beloved Armani below) and prefer something that’s more lightweight and hydrating like this tinted moisturizer. I’ve been using it since high school because it gives my skin such a natural glow. I never feel like it accentuates any of my flaws (or lines); it just enhances my overall complexion.

When I have an event, I usually turn to this formula because it’s the only one I’ve found that actually keeps my skin looking like, well, skin. The formula has flat pigments instead of round (which helps prevent it from separating and flaking on from skin), making it the best formula for blending, IMHO. It also leaves this perfect luminous finish that always earns me a compliment or two.

The secret to getting my face makeup to look flawless? This.

I have big eyes to begin with, but anything to help them look bigger and brighter is a go in my book. Plus, adding a nude liner to my waterline never hurts. 

There's no concealer that blurs the look of wrinkles quite like this one with a creamy formula. It's infused with good-for-skin ingredients that help hydrate the under-eye area while reducing the appearance of fine lines. It's basically a miracle in a tube. 

I can't really complain when it comes to my brows. They're a nice shape, are fairly full, and always look great after I get them done. So in-between appointments, I rely on this brow pencil to fill in all the sparse areas. It's crazy how much of a difference it makes in my overall complexion. 

One of the things I worry about as I get older is my lashes thinning. Instead of using a thickening mascara, I like to use a volumizing or lengthening formula because it's generally lighter, meaning I don't need to worry about product weighing down the lashes I do have. 

Now that I'm 30, I've realized that my skin has begun to lose its radiance. (Hence why I rely on everything in this article to bring it back.) So I like to think that bringing extra light to my face will enhance my features—just not in a disco-ball sort of way. Instead, I sweep a bit of this along my cheekbones, jawline, and use a little on the inner corners of my eyes. It's just a little something extra that helps wake up my entire face. 

This nourishing and exfoliating balm is the perfect first step in effortlessly breaking down even the heaviest makeup.

Follow up with this refreshing gel cleanser after you've used the balm. It uses vitamin E and probiotics to ensure skin feels calm and not stripped.

Prefer a low-key cleansing routine? Get the best of both worlds with this creamy gel cleanser which can be used for both steps of your double cleansing routine - as well as for your morning cleanse.

This handy solid cleanser and mini cleansing mat makes washing your beautyblender much less of a chore.

This rinse-free solution is every makeup artists' secret weapon. Swirl your brushes through a few drops and watch the makeup dissolve away instantly, leaving your brushes as good as new.

"To save time and protect your skin from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays, look for a moisturiser that also contains a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher such as CeraVe’s Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF50," says Granite. "It is always important to wear SPF daily whether suffering from blemishes or not.”

You won't even believe that this is sunscreen, thanks to the lightweight serum formula that also gives skin a super glowy finish. 

Because the Australian government has the world's strictest standards for approving sunscreen formulas, Australian-made SPFs like this one are renowned as the world's best. 

With tiny microdarts which infuse the offending spot with breakout-busting ingredients, these spot stickers are a foolproof way to decrease the size and swelling of a breakout in a matter of hours.

All you need to do is pop this breakout-reducing cream on and head to sleep. You'll find that the spot's size and redness has massively reduced by the time you wake up.

Part-way between a toner and a serum, introducing an essence into your routine is a great way to sandwich in some extra hydration. This TikTok-viral formula utilises snail mucin, which contains moisturising agents that repair the skin barrier. 

CeraVe products are (as their name suggests) chock full of ceramides, lipids which strengthen the skin by reinforcing its layers.

This thick, balm-like cream is totally non-greasy, so if you know your skin is in need of a thick and soothing moisture solution, but you don't want to deal with clogged pores, look no further.

Dr Jart+'s Ceramidin collection also heroes ceramides. I love how soothing the thick, milky texture of this serum feels.

"Straight up, the only reason I'm not giving this cleanser a full five-star rating is the price. Since cleansers are the most fleeting part of our skincare routines, I just can't warrant spending more than $20 tops on something I'm washing off after 10 seconds. That said, I've been impressed with this gentle but effective cleanser ever since it released last year. It never irritates my sensitive skin or exacerbates any breakouts I have. It has great ingredients that play well with all skin types. The soothing gel-to-foam formula also really delivers on that super-satisfying clean feeling you want from a face wash but without stripping your skin of necessary hydration." — Erin

Overall score: 4/5

"A delicious, fast-absorbing oil that smells like a Jolly Rancher and also helps clear breakouts and clogged pores? Seems impossible. I was so skeptical of this exotic green elixir—the slippery texture and sweet scent seem like something that would break you out rather than clear you up. To my delight, the product sinks in quickly, and its gentle 1.5% salicylic acid visibly works to decongest the little clogged pores I get around my nose and chin. It's not the strongest dose of BHA in the world, so it takes a couple nights to really produce results, but damn, when it does, my skin comes out so beautifully clear and glowy." — Amanda

Overall score: 4/5

"I don't know about you, but I have a separate stash of products for whenever my skin decides to be on especially bad behavior. And whenever I'm dealing with a frustrating deluge of zits, this mask is one of my favorite antidotes in said stash. I definitely notice that it helps dry out and banish my existing blemishes faster than when I forget to use it, and I'm convinced it slows the formation of new ones. (Breakouts are such a vicious cycle.) My one issue with this mask, however, is the smell. Since the star and most strategic ingredient is sulfur, I realize this is par for the course and part of the formula's efficacy. But even after I wash it off, the smell of sulfur lingers on my face, and it's just not the most pleasant olfactory experience to go to sleep with at night." — Erin

Overall score: 3/5

"Okay, this is so hard for me. If it were up to this product's brightening and radiance-boosting power alone, I would literally give it 10 stars. But for some reason, I have issues with it clogging my pores, and I have to be honest about that. I plan on asking my go-to aesthetician what she thinks is the exact culprit in the ingredient list (my skin is super, super finicky and prone to congestion), but for most other people, I honestly think this is one of the best vitamin C brightening serums on the market. It's Dermstore's top-selling brightening serum under $100, and I think that stat is well-warranted. I'm bummed I can't use this serum anymore because whenever I would, I'd always receive compliments on how glowy and healthy my skin looked." — Erin

Overall score: 3/5

"I love eye cream. And since I have breakout-prone, easily irritated skin, it's one of the only types of skincare products I feel like I can try with zero abandon or worry regarding how it will affect my skin. I've tried (and regularly use) so many eye creams, but I always find myself coming back to this one. It's a cheaper dupe for this amazing but very, very spendy one from Révive, and it's the first one I recommend to friends and family if they're complaining about puffiness, circles, or fine lines. It has a bit of a pearlescent tint to it, which helps instantly tighten and diffuse the look of darkness and pretty much acts like IRL Facetune." — Erin

Overall score: 5/5

"Retinol is one of the most powerful breakout- and wrinkle-fighting ingredients, which almost all skin-health experts recommend, but certain forms of it can make your face peel. This luxurious oil provides all the same benefits without the risk of irritation using an ingredient called trans-retinol ester—plus blue tansy, which is really soothing and feels amazing on the skin. This product would be really well suited to sensitive skin types prone to acne and redness who are looking to treat their skin for signs of aging without making it angry. After a few nights of use, I did notice more radiant, youthful-looking skin. I wouldn't call the product a holy grail for my combo skin, and it's definitely a little pricier than I'd like, but it certainly produces results with consistent use." — Amanda

Overall score: 4/5

"So here's a fun fact: This is actually the first-ever retinol I've used regularly (I know, bad beauty editor). In all honesty, I thought I would hate it but disgruntledly agreed to test it since Amanda asked me to review all the Sunday Riley products I have in my possession, and I still hadn't tried this launch. In hindsight, I'm so sad I didn't start using it sooner. I've been applying it a couple of nights a week after I cleanse without layering anything underneath or on top. Every morning, I wake up with what seems like a brighter, smoother, and far more even complexion. I've been struggling with some stubborn acne scarring around my mouth, and I'm completely dumbstruck by its efficacy in helping lighten my areas of pigmentation. This serum hasn't irritated my skin at all, which has always been one of my main fears surrounding retinol, and the consistency is so soft and dreamy. It's not sticky, and my skin feels really happy and comfortable post-application." — Erin

Overall score: 5/5

"This is one of Sunday Riley's priciest formulas (and perhaps one of the buzziest), so I had high expectations for this all-in-one AHA serum. According to the fine print, it specifically targets dark spots, pores, and wrinkles by utilizing a high-potency form of lactic acid to exfoliate away the dead skin cells that make our complexion look dull or congested. As the brand recommends, I've been alternating this with the A+ Retinol every other night so that I'm lifting away the debris the night after the retinol has worked its turnover magic."This product is great on its own, but combined with the retinol, it's the ultimate power couple. I've gotten a few facials recently, which could be a contributing factor, but my skin hasn't felt so soft, smooth, clear, and naturally luminous since I started using this serum regularly at night. My only qualm is that I'm not used to using an exfoliating agent like this as a last step before bed, and it can feel a bit prickly and stingy. I know that's part of the deal and the formula, but if you're not a fan of feeling your products working, tread carefully. (Though, I promise the end result is worth it!)" — Erin

Overall score: 4/5

"There's a lot to like about this brightening moisturizer: the rich (but not greasy) formula, which is super hydrating and great for dry or winter weather; the 5% dose of vitamin C; the energizing citrus scent; and the gently exfoliating and calming plant extracts, which help the actives absorb while keeping the skin protected and non-irritated. My three-star rating is simply because I personally prefer to get higher doses of my active ingredients in serum form rather than cream form and then use a more affordable moisturizer on top. I also have a preference for moisturizers that come in a tube rather than a jar. But I can't knock the formula, which I would especially recommend for dry skin types dealing with dark spots or dullness." — Amanda

Overall score: 3/5

C.E.O. Glow now comes in a luxe face oil with extra-brightening ingredients like turmeric. Rejoice!

What's Sunday Riley without an eye cream? Niacinamide, retinol, olive oil, and shea butter work to protect and hydrate the eye area.

In the mood for a new hair product? Opt for this clarifying scalp serum. It uses glycolic acid, rose clay, and jasmine essential oil to exfoliate and break down oil buildup at the roots.

Of course, I couldn't forget about bodycare. This charcoal scrub is loaded with activated charcoal, Manuka honey, coconut water, and zinc to buff away dull skin.

This resurfacing essence has both a super-cute name and serious skin-health benefits. It balances the skin's natural microbiome while firming and resurfacing with green tea and a prebiotic complex.

Want a quick way to alleviate clogged pores and redness? Look no further than this mattifying toner. It's brimming with marshmallow-root extract and bentonite clay to absorb excess oil and soothe overly red skin.

If you have extra-dry skin, try the Ice Ceramide Moisturizing Cream that strengthens the skin's natural moisture barrier against environmental stressors. Vitamin F in the formula replenishes lipid levels in the skin, increases firmness and elasticity, and helps with dull or uneven texture. Read our editor's full review to learn more about this game-changing moisturizer.
