Missha Misa Geum Sul First Essence Booster, $50
This Korean all-star wins the award for fanciest booster, thanks to the inclusion of pure gold in its formula. Other beneficial ingredients include fermented ginseng water; cheonjijeongwoldan, an ancient herbal remedy made with cherry blossom and evening primrose seed; reishi mushroom fermented with gold extract; and Chinese skullcap extract. When combined, they create a hydrating liquid that is also clinically tested to improve skin texture. For optimal benefits, apply two pumps to your hands and smooth across the face, then, starting in the middle of your face and working outwards, pat lightly to allow for better absorption. Follow it up with your favorite hydrator and behold your now plump, dewy, glowing complexion.

Clarins Booster Detox, $39
Partying hard, not getting enough sleep, and general exposure to pollution of all types (ahem, cigarette smoke) can make your skin (and you!) feel very blah. This detoxing serum uses green coffee extract to detox all the bad build-up that's accumulated and give your face a shot of pure energy and revitalization. So even if you overindulged and are paying for it the next morning, your skin will look like it spent the night on the couch watching The Crown and sipping a green juice.

G.M. Collin Derm Renewal Booster 10% AHA, $58
This ultra-potent skin-resurfacing booster is like an at-home chemical peel with wrinkle-fighting benefits. Glycolic acid, lactic acid and salicylic acid encourage cell turnover, leaving skin smooth, soft and glowing. Anti-aging ingredients niacinamide and peptides work to firm skin, reduce fine lines and eliminate uneven skin tone. This watery gel-like booster should be applied once daily at night for a month, and can be used twice a year to perk up dull, tired skin.
