A juiced-up brightening serum
A hearty gel, this ascorbic acid formula noticeably brightened skin during our testing. But the powdery scent is a bit off-putting.
These orange-tinted vitamin C drops are juiced up with skin-care all-stars like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and salicylic acid. Testers loved how the formula perked up their complexions.

The original (and best) beauty sponge
With a soft exterior and a flexible, bouncy feel, this makeup sponge is often imitated but never duplicated. You can’t beat the flawless finish the surprisingly luxe foam delivers.
This egg-shaped sponge is pricier than its (many) competitors, but worth it. Its signature shape, superior foam, and nuanced elasticity help it create an almost airbrushed finish.

A flexible, travel-friendly red light mask
Don’t let the name mislead you: Anyone can use this mask with deep-reaching 1,072 nm wavelengths, and not just on the face. Getting a good fit on your face takes a little practice, though.
The flexible design means you can place this on your face, neck or chest. It doesn’t come with protective eye shields, so it’s best used while closing your eyes next to your favorite podcast — maybe a guided meditation for a full self-care moment?

This gel-like serum, powered by fermented red rice, glycerin, panthenol, and squalane, provides “a noticeable surge of hydration,” as one tester put it.
