Firming Moisturizer
What it is: Nude Advanced Renewal Moisturizer, $88

What it does: The probiotics, algae extract and fatty acids in this moisturizer combat hydration, smooth wrinkles and protect skin from environmental stressors.

Filled with omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, as well as antioxidants, amino acids and vitamins, this rich product basically contains everything you'd want on your plate -- but in cream form. It's vegan and GMO-Free and contains zero parabens, sulphates, synthetic color or fragrance (a green light for health junkies and those with sensitive skin). To use, simply press a dime-sized amount of the product into clean skin morning and night.

Dual Action Acne Kit
What it is: ZSS Method 2 Clear Skin System, $129

What it does: This probiotic-loaded treatment system pairs the benefits of topical probiotics with the ingestible variety to vanquish acne.

"When it comes to skin nutrition, focusing on probiotic-rich foods from both diet and supplement form will be more effective over applying a cream alone," says beauty nutritionist and biochemist Paula Simpson.

The system combines three daily supplements with a topical serum. If you want to clear up your acne, but don't want to stuff your skin with the typical salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, this may be a worthwhile alternative. Bolstered by antioxidants and fatty acids, the probiotics help defuse external irritants and restore the skin's balance in a way that's natural and non-chemically abrasive.
