27 Sephora Items That'll Give You A Degree In Skincare
Summer Fridays' Lip Butter Balm will wrap your lips in silky hydration that lasts for a while, thanks to shea and murumuru seed butters. It comes in a few semi-sheer colors and leaves behind a chic, glossy (no, not sticky — glossy) finish. Promising review: "This is my holy grail for my extremely dry lips. I love the feeling, and it stays on for a long time." —relax4lfePrice: $24 (available in nine shades) The Inkey List's Salicylic Acid Acne + Blackhead Cleanser so you can say goodbye to comedones once and for all. This is perfect for anyone who is looking to minimize oil production in their T-zone (thanks to salicylic acid 2%) while soothing the skin (hi, allantoin 0.5%). Promising review: "I love this product so much! I'm already on my third bottle, and my skin has cleared up so much." —izzy6760Price: $13 Nécessaire's The Body Wash, aka everything you need to turn your showers into a spa-like experience. This body wash contains AHAs, BHAs, *and* PHAs to gently exfoliate, and calming hinoki oil to ensure skin feels nourished after every wash — not tight! Promising review: "I've been using the eucalyptus one for years and thought I loved it, but after this, I'm never going back. The scent is divine. I've already tried to find perfume and candles with hinoki. It also works. I had some uneven skin on my chest that's totally cleared up. New holy grail for me." —meesh22Price: $28 Biodance's Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask that'll seriously up the ante on your morning shed. This mask is infused with collagen and grips onto your skin to allow ingredients to penetrate deeper. Most people sleep with this on (it does stay put — I can attest!) and remove it in the morning for a smooth, glowy complexion. Tata Harper's Clarifying Mask because it's what I rely on whenever I need a facial-like glow in an instant — and I'll never stop recommending it to anyone willing to listen. With AHAs and BHAs, this mask helps to calm acne, whisk away dead skin cells, and help radiate the skin. Promising reviews: "This mask has always given me results compatible to paying for a facial at a spa. I've been using it since 2015 I believe. Almost 10 years." —gardeniasunrise"I have hormonal fluctuation breakouts and use this mask once/week to keep my skin clear throughout the month. It hydrates and exfoliates at the same time, smells beautiful and skin is noticeably brighter, smoother immediately. Any pimple that manages to try and come up is snuffed out." —michimichi33Price: $75 Merit's Great Skin Instant Glow Serum chock full of niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to help brighten and hydrate the skin in a few swipes. It's the perfect prep product for your five-minute makeup routine. Promising review: "I decided to try this based on the reviews, and I am so impressed. What a great find! I am so pleased with the results and the difference in how my skin looks. This serum leaves skin soft, smooth, and supple. It goes on easily and has no scent. I can use this with other products or alone. It truly does what it says. Love it!" —frangerinePrice: $18+ (available in two sizes) Shiseido's Ultimate Sun Protector Face and Body Lotion SPF 60+ Sunscreen because protecting your skin from the sun doesn't always have to mean slathering it in a white cast and gritty texture. This sunscreen glides on clear and soaks into the skin, leaving behind a radiant glow. Promising review: "I love this sunscreen! Goes on beautifully and blends in without a white cast. Tried cheaper ones, but nothing compares! Amazing to combat Florida sun and my sensitive Tretinoin skin." —vanillakissesPrice: $25+ (available in two sizes) Dieux's Instant Angel Lipid-Rich Barrier Repair Cream has ceramides to plump all skin types — even sensitive skin! This cream is one of my go-tos for when my thirsty, redness-prone skin is in desperate need of a surge of moisture. Promising review: "This is my first review ever because this product is just that amazing! I have extremely dry skin, so it's hard to find a moisturizer that works for me. This lotion is AMAZING!! And I can feel the difference!" —nx6791Price: $45+ (available in two sizes) Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi Bronzing Drops with Peptides, because TikTokers can't stop raving about the otherworldly radiance they get from this product. If you want the look of a bronzy glow without the sun damage, this is the product for you. Promising review: "Babes, honestly buy it. Love the bronze look, and it blends perfectly with a moisturizer. Also, if you're debating over the price, it's worth it. Mine has lasted over a year I still have product left. Like, it's shocking me!" —LadyLondon4Price: $39 The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner, which contains glycolic acid, one of the most popular alpha-hydroxy acids to help melt away dullness and dead skin cells. It also helps offset irritation and soothe the skin with the Tasmanian pepperberry derivative and aloe vera formula. Promising review: "I love using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner! It's been a game changer for my skincare routine, especially with helping to fade my post-acne marks. After consistent use, my skin feels smoother and more even, and the dark spots have noticeably lightened. It's gentle enough for regular use, yet effective enough to make a visible difference. Highly recommend it if you're dealing with post-acne pigmentation or just want brighter, clearer skin!" —alimka14Price: $8.70+ (available in two sizes) Olehenriksen's Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment that, like a lip gloss, creates a mirror-like shine you'll want to pair with every lip liner in your arsenal. But! This isn't a lip gloss, it's a lip treatment packed with smoothing peptides and moisturizing kokum butter. Promising review: "Amazing!!!!! I have fuller lips but fine lines, so they can look dull. This almost immediately fills those lines. This is a balm, and that can be a different feeling if you're looking for a gloss with a 'slip' feeling. The gloss effect for me lasts about 2-3 hours, but the benefits, like hydration, last all day. I'm excited to see how continued use of this product works given the peptides." —Sephora CustomerPrice: $22 (available in four high shine shades and four shimmer shades) Laneige's Bouncy + Firm Sleeping Mask just in case slugging with Vaseline may be too much for you, but you still want something thicc to soak into your skin overnight. This mask contains a proprietary peony and collagen complex to help increase skin firmness, hydro-melt glow capsules to help support the lipid barrier, and hyaluronic acid for a boost in hydration. Promising review: "I struggle with keeping up with a skincare routine, so I was looking for a product to 'do it all.' I just use one other serum and this sleeping mask at night, and I wake up the next morning with soft, glowy skin. Definitely will repurchase." —tcmchelenPrice: $36 Tower 28's SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray to help relieve redness while hydrating the skin deeply. This has hypochlorous acid, an ingredient well-known to help soothe irritation in even the most sensitive skin types. Promising review: "I LOVE THIS SPRAY. I have eczema and rosacea along with dry skin in general, and this spray is a godsend. It keeps my redness toned down and has really transformed my skin." —AliciaaaaaaaaPrice: $12+ (available in three sizes) Dr. Jart+'s Ceramidin Skin Barrier Moisturizing Mask, because using a mask doesn't always have to mean getting your fingers messy with a goopy formula. This sheet mask comes pre-soaked with ingredients like ceramide NP, glycerin, and panthenol to help nourish the skin barrier and calm the skin. Promising review: "This is honestly the best mask I've tried. My skin was irritated, red, and dry after trying a new exfoliator, but after this mask, my skin was instantly hydrated and glowing. This mask repaired my skin barrier within a couple of hours, and I am SO impressed with how great it improved my skin. One hundred percent a need for a compromised skin barrier." —TeynikaPrice: $10 Saie's Glowy Super Gel to bring the pearl skin trend to the forefront of your beauty routine. This water-based gel is full of hydrating glycerin and squalane to plump the skin, while its reflective properties add a radiant glow to the complexion.

Promising review: "This is the best glowy primer and base! Great for my dry skin and keeps me looking healthy and glowy all day long. Highly recommend." —cs1211Price: $16+ (available in two sizes and four shades) Drunk Elephant's Protini Polypeptide Cream, which has a whopping NINE different signal peptides that all do different jobs on your skin, like plumping, brightening, and, of course, moisturizing.

Tatcha's Rice Wash that gets wayyyyy down into your pores to help get rid of gunk. While this soft cream-to-foam works to buff the skin clean, hyaluronic acid and red algae work over time to moisturize the skin for a nonstripping feel. Promising review: "Every time my friends or family come over, they use this. And every time they are like?? OK, wow that's amazing. It's just the best. I didn't know a cleanser that's on your face for like max 60 seconds could make such a difference, but it does." —KaityLauzPrice: $18+ (available in two sizes) Glow Recipe's Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush, which is more of a skincare serum than it is makeup! This serum blush contains jojoba-coated pigments that, yes, add a cute flush to the skin — but also help moisturize the skin for a dewy, bouncy effect. Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE!! I was literally STALKING this product and got it as soon as it was early access. If you're a natural/light makeup girlie this is definitely worth it for you. I want the other color, too, lol!!! It's so glowy and gorgeous; it's definitely worth it. I have never been a Glow Recipe girl, but this is def a worth-it product." —skitty21Price: $25 (available in two shades) Summer Friday's Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum to bring the hydration of the brand's iconic Jet Lag Mask to your peepers. Glycerin traps moisture to help create a plump effect while gentle retinol helps to smooth and firm the delicate skin around the eyes. Promising review: "Best eye cream!!! I just have to share how amazing this eye cream is! It's honestly the best I've ever used. If you're looking for something to keep your under-eye area hydrated and help with wrinkles, I highly recommend giving it a try. You won't be disappointed!" —OzidagPrice: $46 Sunday Riley's C.E.O. Glow Face Oil that's all about brightness, baby! While vitamin C helps to brighten and protect the skin from environmental stressors, turmeric helps create a radiance you thought was only available after a good facial. Promising review: "I have very acne-prone, sensitive skin, with eczema and other allergy issues. This product has changed my skin barrier and has helped my products seep into my skin. I use it after my moisturizer and it really helps everything lock in. This doesn't bother my sensitive skin and the scent doesn't bother me. I've come back to this product time after time for the past two years." —LoughlyPrice: $40+ (available in two sizes) Topicals' Brightening & Clearing Serum, which uses tranexamic acid to gently help smooth the skin, brighten the complexion, and fade dark spots! *And* it comes in a cute metal tube that you'll want to show off in your #Shelfies. Promising review: "This serum has noticeably faded my hyperpigmentation and evened out my skin tone, giving me a brighter and more radiant complexion. I appreciate that it's unscented, making it perfect for my sensitive skin. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it easy to incorporate into my daily skincare routine. Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to address hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone!" —beautykait Price: $28 Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask wraps your lips in a buttery, balmy dream. This is arguably the product that put lip sleeping masks on the map for creating a smooth, crack-free, and hydrated lip canvas by morning. Ouai's St. Barts Scalp & Body Scrub so you can experience some great exfoliation from your head down to your toes. While sugar granules buff away dead skin on the scalp and body, panthenol, glycerin, and coconut oil help nourish the skin barrier and replenish moisture. Oh, and it smells like a warm, tropical sunset on the most luxurious pink sand beach — seriously, I am so happy to know that the saying "I can bathe in this stuff" is a reality with this scrub. Promising review: "I started off by buying the smaller option to see if I would like it, but I've just purchased the bigger one. I love this sugar scrub. It leaves my skin feeling so soft and exfoliated. The smell is amazing." —SarahNLIPrice: $40 (also available in a mini size) Sol De Janeiro's Delícia Drench Body Butter, because your body skin needs some love, too! I have this and love its light texture yet deep hydration. It soaks into the skin almost immediately, leaving behind only a happy glow! Promising review: "STOP READING and BUY THIS!!!!! Why are you still reading??!! But seriously speaking I love this body butter. I am super picky with my skincare products because I search for intense moisture, alluring smell, and quality. This butter has it ALL." —JessicaFnPrice: $48 (also available in a mini size) Peace Out's 2% Salicylic Acid Early Stage Acne Dots will help you say buh-bye to breakouts in a flash. Pimple patches are great for keeping your fingers from picking at pimples (which leads to scarring... so don't do it!). What's more, these patches actually contain salicylic acid to help dissolve clogged pores and fade scars quicker. Promising review: "I tried these on a cystic flare-up, and it worked wonders!! I usually break out around my period, so I put them on a couple of spots I could feel forming. They cleared up areas that would've been around for a week." —Michelina $20 for an eight-pack Farmacy's Green Clean makeup melting balm that'll whisk every last trace of your day away! This balm helps melt anything from waterproof mascara and sunscreen to pollutants trapped on the skin. It's also a super sustainable product — the moringa inside is upcycled, and the jar and lid are 100% crafted with post-consumer recycled materials! Promising review: "I've tried other makeup balms, and most leave an annoying film on my skin. Not this one! It dissolves into a milky liquid that's easy to wash away, leaving no residue. A great makeup remover on its own or as the first step in a double cleanse." —ThruhikerPrice: $18+ (available in two sizes and a fragrance-free option) And Caudalie's Vinoperfect Brightening Dark Spot Serum, which also happens to be a vitamin C alternative! This is great for anyone looking to diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation while veiling their skin with antioxidant protection. Promising review: "I don't write reviews very often, but I have to write one for this product. I have struggled with dark red spots caused by hormonal and cystic acne — meaning, those deep pimples that don't scar, but the redness and color don't go away. I have used this serum for A WEEK, and these dark spots have already FADED. And I mean, FADED. I am THRILLED with this product, and it will be a regular in my routine forever. I love anything by Caudalie, but this stuff is magic." —PeytonSheaPrice: $82

I'm strict about skin care. Here are 10 of my favorite essentials from Credo's rare sale
For those who prefer smaller brands or more tailored shopping experiences than mega retailers in the beauty and skin care space, consider buying from the cruelty-free beauty brand, Credo. It takes clean beauty seriously and vets its products for safety, has strict sustainable packaging guidelines for its partners, analyzes the treatment of folks in the supply chain to ensure ethical practices and lastly, monitors its impact on the planet. As someone who has dealt with acne since my tween years, finding products that agree with my skin has been no easy feat. I've often avoided wearing makeup because of my hormonal flareups and dry patches, but after coming across cleaner options from Ilia, Tower 28 and Nécessaire, I've learned how to feel more confident in my skin. Luckily, Credo is hosting its Friends of Credo Sale, marking its entire site down by 20% through May 4. Many of the picks below have been in my current lineup for years, and I've thrown in a few extra deals on beauty gadgets, body products and sunscreens that I'm adding to cart ahead of summer. Tower 28 LipSoftie Hydrating Tinted Lip Treatment Balm I once resorted to mixing my trusty Aquaphor with a lip tint. After getting my hands on the Red Bean Mochi shade, I haven't touched my other lip products in months, and my lips stay hydrated sans a white film. The AAPI-founded brand also happens to make a ton of other editor-favorite beauty products. Ilia Multi-Stick No matter the season it is, I like to keep a few different shades of the Multi-Stick to wear on my eyelids, cheeks and lips. Its bronzy In The City color is my go-to summer pigment, while Whisper is my everyday favorite for flushed-looking cheeks. Nécessaire The Body Wash in Hinoki Usually, I'm a drugstore truther when it comes to body washes. I like to find a cheaper alternative, or at least something with a similar scent. When it comes to Nécessaire, this Hinoki wash is one-of-a-kind, and I always stock up when it's marked down. DedCool Fragrance 01 Taunt My first introduction to DedCool's genderless fragrances was in laundry detergent form. I was gifted Dedtergent 01 and quickly became obsessed with fresh clothing out of the dryer smelling of its bergamot and vanilla. Now the skin scent is down to a sweet $72 in its full 1.7-ounce size. Grown Alchemist Polishing Exfoliator Say goodbye to dead skin with this underrated body exfoliator that makes arms, legs and more feel soft. It's gentle enough to use daily and is great to have on hand for helping achieve close shaves and streak-free sunless tans. Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops This lightweight tinted moisturizer helps even out skin tones and improves skin texture with firming tsubaki oil and brightening ginseng. An alternative to high-coverage foundations, its sheer, hydrating formula is great for no-makeup makeup looks. Kinfield Sunglow SPF 35 Luminizing Sunscreen SPF should be regularly stocked in your vanity, but if you've been lacking, this shimmery face sunscreen from Kinfield is down to $22. It gives off a subtle post-beach glow and even doubles as a highlighter. Doré Le Glaçon Facial Ice Roller Ice rolling is something I've incorporated into my routine as a way to relax and feel more grounded in my body. This tool from Doré helps calm skin, increases blood flow and reduces puffiness. The matte handle is easy to hold, and I love that the head is created from high-quality stainless steel. Olio E Osso Tinted Balm One of my favorite places in the country is Portland, Oregon, and after finding out its multipurpose balms were born there, I brought a few back on my last trip from the store, Frances May. They're perfect for gifting, and I've given one to my lip balm-obsessed mom in the past. Gen See Arch Support Brow Powder Gel As someone who takes pride in her brows, I haven't been one to stray away from Glossier's pomade-like brow formula. Gen See's ethically made formulas were enough to make me switch. It feathers brows for a long-lasting full effect without leaving a crunchy deals on editor-favorite products can be hard to come by, especially when trying to intentionally seek out sustainable or ethically produced items. If you're trying to revamp your routine or want to be a more conscious consumer, now is your chance. The beauty industry produces a large amount of waste from excess packaging, not recycling materials and contributing to microplastic pollution. Because of this, making small steps like swapping out your moisturizer, sunscreen and the like can help the planet and the others impacted by unsustainable practices in the supply chain. Our deals team has over a decade of combined commerce journalism experience. Rikka Altland, Jacqueline Saguin and Elena Matarazzo source the deals for the day each morning to curate one-offs and retailer-specific roundups of the best sales to shop. Searching everything from coveted tech essentials to beauty finds of the week, the team works across a wide variety of categories to ensure we're finding the best buys for our readers.

Does Necessaire's aluminum free deodorant actually work? I put it to the test
As someone who tests beauty products for a living, I've tried to become more mindful of the ingredients I put on my body in the name of healthy skin. While it's been relatively seamless finding an aluminum-free yet still efficacious alternative for things like facial cleanser and body lotion, one product type I have yet to find an effective replacement for is deodorant. I'm a fitness enthusiast and not one to mess around with deodorant. I require high-performing, extra-strength formulas that keep me from stinking up my reformer Pilates class or hiding from my fellow gym-goers. I'm also on a journey to wear more thoughtfully formulated beauty products and have tried several aluminum-free deodorants to no avail. Thus far, I haven't been able to find a formula that truly keeps body odors out. Recently, though, Nécessaire sent me their latest addition to their body care lineup, a mandelic acid deodorant, and I set out to test it out for 30 days. Below, I'll share my experience using the product, including its ingredients, who it's best for and how it performs. What is Nécessaire's The Deodorant? Nécessaire The Deodorant Nécessaire's deodorant is an aluminum-free, $22 formula that's designed to control odor for up to 72 hours without aluminum, PEGs and parabens. This isn't the brand's first foray into deodorants — their deodorant gel is a roll-on formula that you can use on the entire body including the underarms. The new formula is solid and uses sunflower wax, a vegan alternative to beeswax, that helps give the deodorant its solid form. Like the deodorant gel, The Deodorant is made with vitamin B3 and B5 as well as AHA 's like mandelic and lactic acid (versus other odor-reducing agents like aluminum or baking soda). (AHAs, also known as alpha-hydroxy acids, support exfoliation and skin renewal.) The formula comes in four scents (including fragrance-free), and because it's hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, it's suitable for sensitive skin types. Aside from odor protection, this formula is also meant to reduce the risk of razor bumps (a plus if you shave your underarms), according to Necessaire. How I tried the Nécessaire deodorant I put the deodorant through the wringer, to say the least. I exercise four to five days a week and switch things up regularly, so over the course of 30 days, this deodorant accompanied me to a range of workouts including Pilates (both reformer and mat), weight training, treadmill, stairmaster, yoga and even a hot sculpting class. I also used it on non-workout days to see how it fared in my everyday life while running errands, working from a coffee shop and going to dinner with friends. I wore it with dark-colored clothing and different fabric types to see if it would stain. Also, because I I traveled a bit this month, I was able to see how it performed in a variety of weather conditions including rainy and gloomy as well as sunny and dry. During the testing period, I used the deodorant daily, swiping it on two to three times under both underarms. I used it the way I would my traditional deodorant, which is before I leave my house and after each shower (unless I went straight to bed after showering). All in all, the core factors I was looking at while testing were odor control, absorption and ease of use. My experience with the Nécessaire Deodorant I love everything Nécessaire does when it comes to packaging, and this deodorant is no different. The bottle is sleek, chic and looks cute on my bathroom counter. It's also small enough to tote around in my gym bag. If I really had to pinpoint something I'd change about the product, I'd say I would have preferred for it to have a snap-on snap-off cap rather than one I have to twist on and off. Overall, it's easy — and enjoyable — to use and I like the fact that it liquifies upon application (almost like a serum), but that it dried in the same amount of time it took me to lay out my clothes. What I like Effective scent masking This deodorant scored high marks in all categories I tested it for. Most importantly, I looked at odor control, which is a qualm I have with other 'clean' deodorants. This deodorant is the only aluminum-free formula I've tried that's been able to successfully mask all odors no matter what my day calls for, which is especially impressive considering I tested the fragrance-free version. To be clear, this isn't an antiperspirant, so it doesn't stop me from actually sweating. What it does do is ensure I don't walk out of a workout class (or go throughout my day) smelling like B.O. On low-intensity exercise days, I didn't feel the need to rush home and take a shower — in fact, I felt comfortable going straight from my workout to a meeting or brunch without the fear of smelling unpleasant. Even on days I did high-intensity workouts (like a 95-degree heated sculpt class), I was able to walk out without a stench. Quick-absorbing In terms of absorption, the formula settled quickly into my skin, and because it's a solid stick format, I didn't have to wait for it to absorb before getting dressed (like I would with a gel or spray). The consistency is as if I took a liquid serum and solidified it — for this reason, it swipes on super easily. Unlike other deodorants I've tried, it doesn't leave behind a powdery or sticky residue. Great for sensitive skin What I love most about this formula aside from its ability to control my odors is the fact that it does so without aluminum, which has been studied to be a potential carcinogen, and parabens, which have been shown to mimic the effects of estrogen, potentially interfering with the body's hormone balance and raising concerns about breast cancer risk. Instead, its gentle formula keeps my sensitive skin happy and non-irritated. I don't shave my underarms because I did laser hair removal years ago, but on the few occasions I shaved any stragglers with a razor, the deodorant didn't sting or cause redness. Alluring scents As with all things Necessaire, this deodorant has a few options when it comes to scents. Aside from fragrance-free, there's Eucalyptus, an earthy blend of essential eucalyptus oil and fragrance notes of lavender, Siberian fur and ginger. Olibanum is on the warmer side and presents essential sandalwood oil with vanilla, black currant and fig leaf. For those who prefer something a bit more woodsy, Santal fuses essential sandalwood oil with notes of black pepper, iris and jasmine. I tried both the unscented and Olibanum, and the latter was definitely my favorite. I was shocked to see that it lingered on my skin the entire day and completely masked my body odor — to the point where I didn't feel the need to wear a fragrance on days I wore it. Potential drawbacks to keep in mind It requires reapplication One reason why I've been against natural deodorants is that most formulas give me that 'wet' underarm feeling after about an hour of wear — they make me feel like I'm sweating and, in turn, make me smell since they don't effectively cover up odors. With Nécessaire's deodorant, my underarms don't feel wet until about hour five, which is when I find myself needing to reapply. Even with the wetness, though, I don't smell of B.O — something other formulas have not been able to achieve. It stains a bit Like most deodorants, this one isn't stain-free. This formula left white marks on a black sports bra (but keep in mind that's also the day I was dripping in sweat from the hot sculpting class). That said, the stains came out with a few swipes of a wipe. Other than that, the deodorant played well with light-colored clothing and all types of fabrics including knitwear and cotton. Who is Nécessaire's deodorant best for? Nécessaire's deodorant is best for those looking to be more mindful of the ingredients in their personal care products. It's great for those with sensitivities to harsher chemicals found in traditional deodorants. Also, because the scents are so powerful, this may be a good formula for those seeking a multi-functional deodorant that takes the place of a fragrance. When it comes to pricing, at $22 for 2.5 ounces of product, it's more costly than other natural deodorants on the market like the Native Deodorant ($13) or the Curie Aluminum Free Deodorant Stick ($15), though it's formulated with mandelic acid to help cover up odors. If you're looking for a formula that has additional skin benefits beyond masking body odor, Salt & Stone's Santal & Vetiver Extra-Strength Aluminum-Free Deodorant ($20) is another option that's similar in terms of its branding, scent profiles, price and ingredients.
