Is it honey skin you seek? Then you might just have to add this propolis-packed ampoule to your skin care routine. Though lightweight, it has considerable glow factor and hydration powers. Side note: I tipped mine over by accident months ago and I'm still bitterly mourning the loss.
This exfoliant has been quite popular for a while now and it only took one use for me to understand why: It's super, super gentle but still exfoliates enough to give you skin that's noticeably brighter and clearer. Plus, the powder format (it foams when you add water) makes it extra fun to use.
Though it only came out this summer, this nifty serum is well on its way to cult stardom. It's packed with vitamins, soothing botanicals, brightening niacinamide and even skin-firming peptides — in other words, it's got everything you need for glass skin...in a single step. It's so popular, it's often out of stock, so it's one of those things that you're going to want to nab while you can.
After getting numerous shout-outs from beauty bloggers like NikkieTutorials, J. One's primers started to gain widespread appeal in the West. As Nikkie herself put it, "It is super intensely sticky — it is like a glue for your face." Now, that may sound like a negative rather than a positive, but it's also very hydrating and breathable — and precisely because it is so sticky, it really extends the wear-time of your makeup. This new red algae version is brightening and also doubles as a moisturizing sleeping mask. Honestly, what more could you ask for in a product?
Thinking of jumping on the snail mucin bandwagon? This affordable essence is a good place to start. Though the slimy texture can be a bit off-putting (especially given the key ingredient), it smooths into skin so nicely, with a hydrating and brightening effect. It's great for calming inflamed skin and, long-term, it can help with acne scarring as well.
