[LAST UPDATED AT 5:33 A.M. ET ON DECEMBER 1, 2025] The official holiday of gratitude may be over, but I'm still thankful for the best SkinCeuticals Cyber Monday deals, which are currently ripe for the picking (and dropping and slathering) until midnight. In case you're not familiar, the luxury brand is known for its science-backed skin care and endless praise from dermatologists and Allure editors alike. The lineup of viral hits and Allure Best of Beauty Award winners is worth the hype, but it often costs a pretty penny. Thankfully, SkinCeuticals currently has a few under-the-radar deals scattered across the internet—but we don't expect them to last. So, if you've been holding off on grabbing one of the brand's beloved formulas, now is the time to act. Scroll on to shop the best Cyber Monday SkinCeuticals deals and thank us later.

Best SkinCeuticals Cyber Monday Deals

SkinCeuticals isn't having a blown-out Cyber Monday savings event, but there are plenty of exciting deals to explore. Currently, the skin-care brand is offering a few tiered goodies to grab based on your purchase amount:

• With any order of $200 or more, you can create your own mini 4-piece skin-care routine, including an antioxidant serum, a corrective product, sunscreen, and a cosmetics bag.
• If you bump your cart's total to $300 or more, you'll nab an extra mini product to go along with your custom mini routine.

Beyond gifts with purchases, SkinCeuticals' website doesn't have a set percentage off today. But there are still quite a few hidden gems worth adding to your cart, like select pre-set bundles that are currently 12% off, so it's the perfect time to stock up on your favorite formula and pair it with something new.

SkinCeuticals

The A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced is one of our favorite moisturizers for its ability to tackle fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles with ease—a treat for mature skin, but also great for anyone in the mood for rejuvenation. In this set, this face cream teams up with SkinCeuticals' A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum, a firming serum that helps provide a visible lift. Together, this power couple goes into overdrive to target wrinkles and expression lines, helping improve skin's overall elasticity.

Triple threat, anyone?

SkinCeuticals

Duo for Skin Discoloration

$300 $264 (12% off)

SkinCeuticals

Sometimes dark spots can be more stubborn than the acne that left them there, but this duo has you covered. It features two of SkinCeuticals' most powerful serums for targeting hyperpigmentation and discoloration. You'll get Phloretin CF, a daytime vitamin C-powered serum for a brighter complexion, and Discoloration Defense, a daily-use dark spot corrector that reduces the appearance of brown patches and post-acne marks.

It pairs the antioxidant-fueled, best-selling C E Ferulic (a godsend for targeting fine lines and dullness, by the way) with Advanced RGN-6, SkinCeuticals' multi-tasking moisturizer that addresses both signs of aging and uneven skin tone. It's a one-two punch for brighter, firmer skin.

C E Ferulic

Bluemercury

Few skin-care products are as iconic as the C E Ferulic serum—after all, it's SkinCeuticals' most popular, award-winning serum. It's also an all-time Allure editor-favorite for its high concentration of stabilized vitamin C, paired with vitamin E and ferulic acid, to triple down on its ability to even tone and diminish fine lines.

SkinCeuticals

Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment

$115 $98 (15% off)

Bluemercury

When you find your skin looking more dull than dewy, reach for the SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment. “My dermatologist recommended I switch from retinoids to azelaic acid when I was pregnant to fade my dark spots, which led me to this skin-brightening formula,” says Allure contributing commerce editor Deanna Pai. "It’s done so much for my uneven skin tone that I’ve kept it in my routine postpartum."

SkinCeuticals

Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50

$45 $38 (16% off)

Bluemercury

ICYMI, even the grayest winter days call for sunscreen—and SkinCeuticals’ Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 is a really good one. The creamy formula absorbs quickly, has a sheer finish, and evens out your skin with the help of translucent color spheres.

SkinCeuticals

Redness Neutralizer

The SkinCeuticals Redness Neutralizer is a serum with a plan: It treats general redness caused by dryness, irritation, acne, and rosacea. Plus, it can reduce flushing by up to 30% as it combats inflammation-causing free radicals.

Hydration comes in many forms, but few serums live up to the quenching feel of the Allure Best of Beauty Award-winning HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan. Not only does it feel delightfully refreshing, but its hydrating properties also help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

SkinCeuticals

P-Tiox

$150 $128 (15% off)

Bluemercury

The SkinCeuticals P-Tiox is an intensive peptide-powered serum that diminishes the look of fine lines and wrinkles. If you happen to get neuromodulator injections like Botox, this serum extends the results of those expensive treatments. "It helps slow the roll of my forehead lines and can target expression lines where injectables can’t, like around my mouth," Pai, who uses P-Tiox between her neuromodulator appointments, attests.

Bluemercury

Ready for a more intensive dose of retinol? Whip out SkinCeuticals’ Retinol 0.5, a dose of the vitamin A derivative that intensively targets fine lines, wrinkles, and acne.

It's no secret that Hailey Bieber is a tastemaker in the beauty world. Whether an utterly screenshot-worthy Insta story of her newest mani, skin that calls to mind a "glazed donut," or the possibly-a-joke (but legit real) invention of a phone case made for the sole purpose of holding a tube of Rhode Peptide Lip Tint—Bieber knows what's up and what's next. That's why we always have our eyes peeled for product Easter eggs in her intimate TikTok beauty roundups and full-fledged skin-care routines.

AccordionItemContainerButtonLargeChevron

"I'll admit there's a bit of a learning curve with this thermal brush, but overall, I'm really happy with how easy it is to mimic the results of a blowout. For my longer layers, wrapping my hair around the brush before gently pulling, while twisting, did the trick for creating a nice curl all the way through. Its curling capabilities for short hair are a bit more limited; however, I found turning the brush towards my face added a nice ‘swoop’ effect. "So if you're in the market for a whole lotta volume up front, it's totally worth the $50.” —Sarah Hoffmann, commerce producer

Allure senior commerce editor Sarah Felbin using the Wavytalk Cool Curl Pencil

The Wavytalk Cool Curl Pencil is a game-changer for anyone with shorter hair who still wants defined curls. A slim 0.65-inch barrel makes it easy to shape bangs, refine edges, and curl your whole head without feeling like you’re wrestling a giant hot tool. With five heat options, you can fine-tune the temperature to match your texture, whether your strands are fine and soft or thick and curly. The main difference between the Cool Curl Pencil and a typical curling iron, however, is that the Cool Curl has 104 tiny air vents that simultaneously release 360-degree cool air in three adjustable settings to help set the shape and cut down on heat damage. Another bonus: The flat interior plates let you straighten, too—basically giving you two tools in one.

AccordionItemContainerButtonLargeChevron

Finally, a hot tool that's designed for bobs and pixie cuts! I used to constantly burn my hands trying to style my bob with wide flat irons. But the Cool Curl Pencil has tiny plates that make it easy to tame my bangs or flip my ends. And if I'm trying to switch my (usually straight) look up, I can use it to curl my whole head, for tight spirals that only take a few minutes. Bonus: Cool air comes out the sides of the iron to set your style as you go (no hairspray required). And, while the barrel doesn't get too hot to hold, a heat-blocking glove is also included for safety."—Sarah Felbin, senior commerce editor

Steamline Pro

Wavytalk

The Streamline Pro is one of those rare hot tools that feels both high-tech and incredibly easy to use. This straightening brush relies on a mix of steam, ultrasound, and circular heating to transform water into a fine, consistent vapor that wraps each strand as you brush. Let us explain: Seven steam nozzles sit along the brush head to ensure every pass delivers even moisture and heat, and the anti-scald design keeps hair safely distanced from direct contact. he effect is that plush, blown-out smoothness—or soft waves if you twist as you glide. Since the brush covers more hair per pass than a traditional straightener (and reaches peak temperature in about 30 seconds), it’s a dream for anyone who wants polished hair fast.

The Wavytalk Blown Away Ionic Hair Dryer leans on a 1875-watt motor that delivers strong, steady airflow — the kind that dries hair quickly without causing unnecessary heat damage. It also releases negative ions to help tamp down frizz and boost shine, so your blowout looks smoother from the jump. You get three temperature settings and three attachments to play with: a concentrator for sleekness, a diffuser for curls, and a comb nozzle that helps stretch or straighten textured hair. One thing we appreciated right away is how featherlight it feels (no arm ache halfway through your routine!). There’s also a cool-shot button to lock everything in and give your hair that final gloss before you walk out the door. You’ll be hard-pressed to find something this dryer can’t do.

Frequently Asked Questions

How we test and review products

We always enlist a range of testers for any review, but hair-care products and tools are another story. While some can be used across different hair textures, lengths, curl patterns, thicknesses, colors (natural and unnatural), and concerns, many are created with specific consumers and their needs in mind. When reviewing tools, we also take into account testers' experience levels. For instance, an innovative new blow-dryer may feature industry-leading technology, but if the only people who find it intuitive to use are professional hairstylists, we have to consider this when determining whether it is worthy of a recommendation.

For our review of the best Wavytalk gifts, we enlisted the help of multiple editors, writers, contributors, and experts you interviewed for the piece—who all have different hair concerns and types, desired outcome (i.e., want shinier hair), and whether one product was tested across multiple hair types (i.e., straight, wavy, and curly hair). Testers considered performance across three primary categories: efficacy, safety and ease of use, value. For more on what's involved in our reporting, check out our complete reviews process and methodology page.

We believe that having a diverse team of writers and editors—in addition to the wide range of outside testers and industry experts we regularly call upon—is essential to reaching that goal.

After all, can we really say a skin-care product is the "best" for people over 50 if the only testers we've solicited opinions from are folks who have yet to hit 30? Can we honestly deem a high-end diffuser worthy of your hard-earned cash if it's never been tested on curls? We're proud that our staff spans a wide range of ages, skin tones, hair textures, genders, and backgrounds, which means that we are able to fairly assess any beauty product that comes into the beauty closet.

Selena Gomez is never one to be seen without an immaculate manicure. And can you blame her? If I had access to nail artist Tom Bachik, I'd be hopping from iridescent chrome jelly nails to classic burgundy to silk slip nails every other week (or more often). But despite her proclivity for perfectly polished nails, it's been a long time—I think literally years—since we've seen her in anything other than a solid color or a French manicure. And that's what makes the ornate mani she just shared such a surprise.

Gomez shared a gorgeous close-up clip of her left hand, tagging it with “@tombachik at work” and a much-deserved clapping emoji. The pinky is painted in a sparkling mauve polish and is the only nail that hasn't been bejeweled. In fact, her ring finger is the most embellished, with gems, pearls, and studs of various sizes topping off a creamy, sheer beige.

Gomez's middle fingernail is painted in a pretty pink and garnished with a red and gold three-dimensional Sacred Heart symbol. The white pointer nail is host to a gold, star-like shape with a rhinestone in the center, and her thumb, painted bright red, features a Baroque gold cross with a pearl in the middle.

Bachik tells Allure, “Sel wanted fun nails for Thanksgiving,” and he made it happen with a combination of his own Click Colors—the red is a brand-new color called VIP—and Aprés polishes. “On each of the crystal fingers, you’ll see one large stone outlined in gold. Those are ruby and aquamarine, which are Selena and Benny’s birthstones,” he adds.

There's no doubt, this elaborate nail art is definitely something for Gomez to be thankful for.

Many people go years into their curl journeys before understanding their porosity levels, a crucial detail for developing a healthy hair-care routine. The best hair oils for high-porosity hair work by sealing the cuticle, creating a barrier that locks in moisture and prevents it from evaporating. To get to the root of why this hair type behaves the way it does, and which oils actually help, we asked the experts to break it down. “High-porosity hair has raised or damaged cuticles (often from heat, color, or chemical services) so it soaks up moisture quickly, but also loses it just as fast,” explains Michele Aquino, a hairstylist based in Riverdale, NY. The reason that it's “overly porous” is “because the cuticle layer is fully open,” Cataanda James, a New York City-based hairstylist, notes. “Water goes in, but it cannot retain moisture, so the hair feels dry, looks frizzy, and lacks elasticity.”

Our Top Hair Oils for High-Porosity Hair

• Best for Frizz: Hollywood Beauty Batana Oil, $9
• Best for Heat-Styling: Kérastase Elixir Ultime Hair Oil, $62
• Best for Product Build-Up: Ceremonia Aceite de Moska, $34
• Best for Split Ends: Redken All Soft Argan-6 Oil, $38
• Best for Color-Treated Hair: Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil, $30
• Best for Tighter Curls: Carol's Daughter Strength 7 Oil Blend Scalp & Hair Oil, $14

Not sure which you have? The simplest at-home check is the water-absorption test: place a clean, product-free strand of hair in a glass of water. If it floats on the surface for a long time, it is likely low porosity. If it sinks quickly, it is likely high porosity, meaning the cuticle is open enough for water to rush in. Another cue: low-porosity hair resists product and dries slowly, while high-porosity hair absorbs product instantly but dries rapidly and tends to frizz.

Because high porosity hair struggles to retain moisture, certain types of oils that seal and reinforce the cuticle are essential for long-term protection. Below are the best oils for high-porosity hair, vetted by experts and chosen by Allure editors for their ability to lock in hydration and support fragile, damage-prone strands.

Best for Damaged Hair: Cécred Oil Ritual

Oil Ritual

Ulta Beauty

Cécred

Why we love it: If your high-porosity hair feels brittle or snaps during detangling, Cécred’s Oil Ritual delivers the kind of deep nourishment surface oils can’t. This formula features a ferment blend to support the scalp and a trio of African oils, baobab, moringa, and black seed, that slip past raised cuticles to replenish the inner cortex, improving elasticity and reducing breakage. According to hairstylist Cataanda James, “Cecred Oil Ritual is best for those who are coming out of a protective style or prepping their hair for a protective style, for those experiencing sensitized, weak strands from over manipulation when wearing their natural curly texture, and those who wear their strands free flowing like a Wash ‘n Go style that are seeking an intense moisture treatment.” She adds that she’s seen it revive high-porosity hair damaged by bleach, chemicals, and environmental stressors, noting, “The Cecred Oil Ritual is like the old school hot oil treatment popular in the 80s and 90s, without the greasy, coated feel we seemed to yearn for back then.”

“As someone with high-porosity locs that can go from soft to straw-like overnight, I’m always skeptical of miracle hair oils, but Cécred’s Oil Ritual is different. The thick consistency and precision nozzle let me apply it exactly where I need it, right along my parts and the length of each loc, without flooding my scalp or wasting product. Once warmed between my palms, it melts in and actually penetrates. I noticed a real difference during retwisting because my locs were more elastic, and the usual snapping I get during separation was reduced. The peppermint scent adds a cooling, soothing sensation on the scalp that feels especially good after a protective style or retwists.” —Jailynn Taylor, contributor

Best for Color-Treated Hair: Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil

Olaplex

No.7 Bonding Oil

$30

Amazon

$30

Nordstrom

$30

Dermstore

Why we love it: Chemical color and bleach weaken the internal structure of hair and worsen high-porosity issues by lifting the cuticle, which is why Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil is a standout. The formula’s bond-building ingredient, bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, actively relinks broken bonds so hair regains strength instead of just getting a temporary shine boost. Grapeseed oil provides antioxidant protection, and fermented green tea oil enhances absorption, allowing the treatment to penetrate rather than sit on the surface.

James says, “On straighter textures (1A to 2B), it works best as a finisher to polish, like adding the icing on the cake.” For curl types 3A to 4C, she notes, “This is the perfect solution: It strengthens and provides heat protection up to 450 degrees, so your hair isn’t frying when the heat meets the oil.” James also loves that it’s “weightless, softens the strands for a more supple feel, controls frizz, and leaves the hair naturally healthier looking overall.”

"I'm a big fan of this Olaplex hair oil for its multitasking ablities. I use it on damp hair after a shower as a heat protector and to prevent frizz (and like to mix it with a leave-in conditioner as I apply), and on dry hair after styling to add glossy shine to my hair. Even when applying it twice in one single styling session, it never leaves my hair oily or greasy." —Alessandra Foresto, managing editor

Best for Frizz: Hollywood Beauty Batana Oil

Hollywood Beauty

Batana Oil

$9 $8 (11% off)

Amazon

Why we love it: Hair frizzes, tangles, and loses moisture so quickly because its cuticles are lifted, which is why a heavier, sealing oil is often more effective. Hollywood Beauty Batana Oil addresses that structural issue by using batana oil, a palm-derived oil rich in fatty acids, to sit over the lifted cuticle and slow moisture loss after hydration is applied. That sealing action creates immediate softness, better slip during styling, and less breakage from manipulation. Castor oil adds weight and elasticity support, helping strands bend without splitting, while rosemary extract brings antioxidant protection that helps preserve the fiber over time. Used as a warm oil treatment, the blend penetrates more deeply before forming a seal, providing high-porosity hair with both hydration and retention in one step.

“Hollywood Beauty has been a staple in my beauty supply hauls for years, but their new batana oil has officially earned a spot in my loc rotation. The thick, buttery texture feels rich without being greasy, and I just pour a bit into my hands before working it into my scalp and down the length of each loc. Once it’s warmed up between my palms, it absorbs quickly, meaning I’m not left with buildup. I’m using it as a weekly deep treatment or a mid-week moisture reset to keep my locs moisturized, less frizzy, and more flexible.” —Jailynn Taylor, contributor

Best for Heat-Styling: Kérastase Elixir Ultime Hair Oil

Kérastase

Elixir Ultime Hair Oil

$62

Amazon

$62

Sephora

Why we love it: If your hair tends to crisp or dull the moment a blow-dryer touches it, Kérastase’s Elixir Ultime Hair Oil is essential. A blend of wild camellia, marula, and argan oils softens the cuticle, adds slip, and reduces friction, allowing strands to bend instead of breaking under heat. Both experts love its ability to protect and revive high-porosity strands without leaving a greasy film. Hairstylist Michele Aquino says, “This oil is a classic for a reason; it seals the cuticle, restores shine, and leaves high-porosity hair feeling silky rather than coated.” Hairstylist James adds, “It melts into the strand like butter, leaves the hair visibly healthy, and feels luxurious…without leaving an oily film.” She also praises its lightweight consistency, noting that it helps heat tools glide through strands with less damage.

Ceremonia

Aceite de Moska

$34

Sephora

Why we love it: Buildup is especially harmful on porous hair because any residue sitting at the root or along the strand blocks moisture from entering an already leaky cuticle. Ceremonia’s Aceite de Moska is a pre-shampoo oil designed to clear that barrier before you wash. Passionfruit oil offers antioxidant support, forming a light, protective film upon rinsing. Aquino explains that “the castor and chia seed oils [within the formulation] deeply fortify fragile hair, which is key for clients with textured or chemically treated hair prone to dryness or breakage,” while aloe vera helps calm irritation and keep the scalp balanced. By dissolving debris and excess sebum first, this step enables conditioning and sealing products to actually reach the core, rather than sitting on top. She adds that it's also “a fantastic pre-wash treatment for anyone trying to repair porosity after lightening or coloring.”

AccordionItemContainerButtonLargeChevron

• Key ingredients: passionfruit oil, castor oil, aloe vera
• Who’s it for: anyone with scalp buildup, flaking, or oil imbalance

Best for Split Ends: Redken All Soft Argan-6 Oil

Redken

All Soft Argan-6 Oil

$40

Amazon

$40

Ulta Beauty

Why we love it: Once ends begin to fray, the only way to keep the damage from climbing higher is to reduce friction, and that’s where Redken’s All Soft Argan-6 Hair Oil comes in. The formula combines argan oil, rich in omega-6 fatty acids and vitamin E, with functional silicones that form a smoothing film to cushion the cuticle and minimize mechanical wear from brushing, pillow friction, and heat styling.

Aquino calls it “a salon staple that delivers elasticity and manageability to all textures.” She explains that the oil “penetrates quickly to fill gaps in high-porosity hair, leaving curls supple and defined.” Because it can be used pre-shampoo, post-wash, or even overnight, it works like a repair-preserving layer that keeps fragile ends from unraveling further, a crucial benefit for high-porosity hair that loses moisture and integrity fastest at the tips. For color-treated hair, Aquino adds, “it helps maintain vibrancy while adding incredible softness. The argan oil provides the kind of smoothness and flexibility that keeps both tone and texture healthy over time.”

Carol's Daughter

Strength 7 Oil Blend Scalp & Hair Oil

$14 $12 (14% off)

Amazon

$13

Ulta Beauty

Why we love it: Tighter curls and coils show damage quickly because every bend is a stress point, and high porosity at those bends causes moisture to escape even faster. Carol’s Daughter Goddess Strength 7 Oil Blend Hair & Scalp Oil addresses the issue with castor oil to add weight and structural support, while black cumin seed oil brings antioxidants to help defend the cuticle from further wear. “I particularly love using the seven oil blend on the hair from mid-lengths to tip to help seal and lock in moisture on high-porosity hair that does not retain moisture easily,” says James. She adds that it’s just as useful after heat-styling, noting, “On wavy to curly hair that has been blown out or silk-pressed, I apply it as a finisher to combat frizz, lay down flyaways, and temporarily seal split ends.”

And when clients ask for a scalp treatment, James reaches for it because “it’s lightweight, designed for on-scalp application, and has an herbal fragrance that complements the body’s natural microbiome—perfect for a good ‘grease my scalp moment.’”

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between low-porosity and high-porosity hair?

Hair with a tightly compacted cuticle resists penetration; as Aquino explains, “Low-porosity hair has a tight, compact cuticle that repels moisture and products…it can feel dry but resists water and takes a long time to absorb treatments.” She draws the distinction clearly: “In short: Low-porosity hair struggles to let moisture in, while high-porosity hair struggles to keep it.” She also notes that routine must follow that logic, adding, “Low porosity needs gentle lift-and-penetrate strategies and high porosity needs sealing and rebuilding.”

On the other end of the spectrum, James states, “High-porosity hair looks and feels excessively dry, has an extremely frizzy appearance, and lacks elasticity, so the hair is prone to breakage.” She also points to cumulative damage as the cause, stating “chemically-treated hair, excessive heat-styling, and over-manipulation are often the root cause of high porosity.”

Which ingredients or oil compositions should people with high-porosity hair look for?

Aquino explains that high-porosity hair requires both internal strengthening and surface sealing through "ingredients that both strengthen the cortex and seal the cuticle: think hydrolyzed proteins (collagen, keratin, silk) and humectants like glycerin or panthenol to attract moisture." She recommends heavier oils and butters, such as castor, avocado, olive oil, and shea or mango butter, because "their fatty acids help plug gaps in the cuticle and slow moisture loss." On the other hand, Aquino warns: "Lightweight oils alone won't protect long-term; pair sealants with a protein-rich treatment and consistent moisturizing steps." James agrees with a dual approach and adds, “Typically, more protein, less moisture."

What’s the best way to apply hair oil to high-porosity hair?

For high-porosity hair, experts agree that oil should be layered when the hair is hydrated but not dripping wet, so it can seal moisture inside the cuticle rather than just coat the surface. Aquino specifies that “damp, towel-squeezed hair after your leave-in or cream” is the ideal state because humectants can pull in water first before the oil locks it down. She advises warming a small amount in the palms and focusing on mid-lengths and ends, using heat or steam for deeper penetration.” Aquino also notes that “on soaking wet hair oils can slide off and won’t seal properly,” and that on dry hair a light glossing pass is enough only for frizz control. James offers a more intensive version of this same principle, recommending “the best way to apply the oil(s) on wet hair is after a detoxifying or clarifying shampoo for maximum absorption,” followed by “applying heat from a steamer, steam cap, or hooded dryer for 20–30 minutes.”

How can someone tell if their hair has absorbed the oil instead of the oil just sitting on top?

Absorption shows up in how the hair behaves, not just how it looks. Aquino explains that “if the hair feels soft, springy, and not tacky after a few minutes and the strands move naturally…the oil has likely been absorbed.” She recommends a transfer test to confirm, noting “if oil transfers easily to your fingers, it’s probably just sitting on the surface; if the strand stays supple but your fingers stay mostly clean, it’s absorbed.” James adds that sight can be just as telling, stating that “the key indicator…is individualized strands rather than the appearance of multiple strands in clusters.”

This serum is beginner-friendly, barrier-loving, and the perfect “training wheels” retinol for anyone easing into vitamin A. “I was able to use Alastin Skin Renewal Retinol 0.25 with no acclimation period—gasp!—which is a big deal, since I’ve experienced the retinol-newbie flakes as an over-confident 20-something. It’s never once irritated my skin, even on the coldest of winter days, and while I still get the occasional hormonal breakout, I’ve found that this dispatches zits and the requisite acne scars more quickly,” says Pai.

Inspired by centuries-old geisha rituals, all of Tatcha’s products are ideal for dry or mature skin to restore a healthy glow. “Tatcha The Rice Wash is one of those cleansers that actually makes you look forward to washing your face. When you first start lathering it up, there’s a teeny bit of grittiness from the rice powder doing its gentle exfoliating thing—but then it instantly melts into the softest, creamiest foam,” says Lee.

Revive Eye Serum

$17 $15 (12% off)

Amazon

Few eye creams have captured the K-beauty crowd quite like Beauty of Joseon’s Revive Eye Cream Ginseng + Retinal. The ginseng soothes puffiness, while liposome-encapsulated retinal (a.k.a. retinaldehyde, a stronger, single-step form of vitamin A) targets fine lines and dullness with impressive gentleness. “The custardy formula absorbs almost immediately and makes my undereyes look refreshed and slightly brighter,” says Han.

Avène

$68

Amazon

Speaking of retinal… Eau Thermale Avène RetrinAL 0.1 Intensive Cream is also powered by retinaldehyde, making it a fast-working option for smoothing, brightening, and evening skin tone. The formula pairs this gentle yet strong vitamin A with the brand’s soothing thermal spring water to minimize irritation. “This bottle of Avène goes easy on my skin and has a lovely light and creamy consistency,” says Allure contributor Annie Blackman.
