This stuff just got top marks from Consumer Reports for the fourth year in a row, a well-deserved honor. The lightweight texture sinks in near-instantly which makes it so easy to use — and the water-resistant, broad-spectrum coverage is nothing to sneeze at, either.
The Glossier zeitgeist is huge and while its new launches are plenty exciting (we still can't get over the Glossier Lash Slick Mascara), we'll always be ride-or-die for the brand's multi-purpose balm. It soothes and protects even the most chapped of lips — seriously, it's one of the best lip balms around.
Glow tonics are quickly becoming a staple skin care product and this one is particularly effective. With a botanical-packed formula, it gently exfoliates your skin to reveal a lovely, natural glow. Plus, it happens to be quite affordable (not to mention photogenic).
Clinique has a lot of cult favorites and this one might just be tops (though it's definitely a tough call with Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+, $27). This cleansing balm is fragrance-free and oh-so-gentle, making it ideal for sensitive skin. It feels quite nice and relaxing as it "takes the day off" and the balm formula makes it ideal for travel.
Looking for a dermatologist-approved night cream that won't break the bank? This formula is a winner: It hydrates like a treat and the niacinamide in the formula helps soothe skin while also providing some anti-aging benefits.
