With so many red-light masks on the market, it takes a lot to impress us these days. Shark managed to get everyone in the office talking (and clamoring to try) when it debuted this hybrid red-light and cryo-tech face mask. It not only features three wavelengths of clinically tested LED lights — red, infrared, and blue — but also has a built-in under-eye cooling patch with three temperature settings to refresh, depuff, and visibly tighten your under-eye area. This SPF is hydrating enough to be a daily moisturizer and offers broad-spectrum SPF 40 with a lightweight and transparent finish. No wonder it’s recommended by so many derms and estheticians. This serum is chock-full of growth factors and peptides that help repair the skin at a cellular level.
This peptide-packed serum is clinically proven to reduce expression lines and improve lines and wrinkles. Inspired by actual injections, it dramatically improves skin texture and radiance. It calms inflammation, hydrates dryness, and reduces redness in one go. It’s all thanks to Mevalonic Acid, an active ingredient that kicks the skin into repair mode at the molecular level.
“A classic but still relevant. I love Hydroboost for all skin types and especially for those with mixed and oily skin. It’s light, hydrating, and works well under makeup.” —D.B. It strengthens your barrier, hydrates, boosts skin’s cellular energy, and reduces the look of fine lines in just one night (!). You’ll wake up looking like you’re the kind of person who goes to bed at 8 p.m., eats a balanced diet, gets your daily dose of exercise, and definitely doesn’t spend all night doom-scrolling through TikTok until 3 a.m.
Stubborn sunscreen and waterproof makeup are no match for this cleansing oil. It transforms into a lightweight, milky texture upon contact with water, washing away dirt, oils, sunscreen, and makeup—no pulling, rubbing, or dirty washcloths required. “As someone with very dry skin and lips, a good lip balm is a must-have. Consider Super Balm a mask that you wear all day long. It uses cocoa, shea, and avocado butters so your lips are smooth and supple at a moment’s notice.” —K.J.B.
A trio of peptides plus 12% hyaluronic acid and skin-soothing adenosine work during your body’s reparative cycle to hydrate, plump, and smooth the complexion — meaning you wake up to visibly dewier, glowier, and more moisturized skin. As much as we love cleansing balms for their ability to get rid of waterproof/sweatproof/lifeproof makeup formulas, we don’t love having to dip our mitts into jars, contaminating the formula with our not-so-clean digits. This genius balm solves that issue with a mechanism that grinds out a fresh portion with just a twist of the top, letting you get the exact amount you need of the gentle, yet powerful formula. It uses camellia sinensis seed oil, grape seed oil, madecassoside, and centella extract to cleanse and condition, soothing redness and irritation as it dissolves even the most hardcore makeup, dirt, and sunscreen. They don’t call Sofie Pavitt the “Acne Whisperer” for nothing, and this genius mask is just another reason why the New York City-based aesthetician is so beloved for keeping her clients’ skin crystal clear.
Best of all, it’s instantly transportive, conjuring a faraway beach paradise—like, say, the Coppola Hideaways resort in Belize, which I’m dying to visit. ‘Til then, a few spritzes of this essence will take me there.” —L.V. Toner pads are still a relatively new concept in the United States, but once you start using them, you’ll wonder why you’ve waited so long to jump on this K-beauty staple. This rose-infused version from Femmue won our testers’ hearts for its instant soothing, hydrating, and refreshing benefits.
It’s elegant, potent, and keeps our skin lexatrade bright, happy, and hydrated without having to worry about degradation from the elements. Shea and murumuru seed butters cushion dry lips in moisture, while vegan wax smooths rough skin. It’s shiny, never sticky, and every single flavor begs to be collected.

Scroll on to see which skincare products are considered the best. This one does too, while also protecting it from environmental pollution and preventing signs of aging, thanks to antioxidants and copper PCA. The latter balances the skin’s pH level and stimulates collagen, resulting in a smoother, firmer appearance.
This gentle gel cleanser gently removes dirt, oil, sunscreen, and other impurities from the skin’s surface without stripping its much-needed moisture. In fact, the fragrance-free formula gives moisture back to the skin with 10% glycerin and 2% amino acids. “I like a lip balm, but I love a lip serum–especially this chic one from Retrouvé. It’s whisper-light and sinks in instantly, yet feels impressively long-lasting. Supercharged with lip-loving ingredients—like moisturizing squalane, protective white tea extract, and brightening licorice root—it keeps lips looking healthy, both instantly and over time. I love to wear it on its own or layered under a richer occlusive mask when my lips are in SOS mode.” —L.V.

This do-it-all serum uses peptide-rich plasma, glycolic acid, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid to target 10 signs of aging.
The first-of-its-kind treatment is made with 5% benzoyl peroxide, kaolin clay, and glycolic acid, so it gets into your pores to clear out the clogs while also tackling surface-level buildup. The addition of panthenol helps to ensure your sensitive skin won’t dry out and disrupt that delicate oil balance. Leave it on for five minutes and let it do its magic by shrinking even the most monstrous pimple. We’ve used plenty of hyaluronic acid serums in our day, but this is the first we’ve ever encountered that’s given us a cheekbone contour.
The addition of sodium hyaluronate is what will give you plump, juicy, hydrated AF skin. This serum amplifies the results of traditional retinol by combining it with a powerful antioxidant called malassezin. Together, the all-star ingredients target lines, wrinkles, texture, discoloration, loss of firmness, and more. “This sheet mask is super hydrating and plumping. I usually dry out like the Sahara Desert when I fly, but when I put this on mid-flight, I land looking like a delicious, dewy dumpling.” —N.V.
“This one gets a lot of hype—but for good reason. It’s a dewy dumpling classic that delivers a glowy, glazy finish with anti-aging benefits. Plus, it wears beautifully under makeup.” —N.V. “Anytime I’m doing an early-morning television segment, these cryo wands are a godsend. I store them in the fridge so I always have them super-cold and ready to depuff, sculpt, and awaken my face when I need it most.” —K.J.B.
