Often referred to as the best skin care in the world the technology used in this moisturizer is truly unparalleled. It was initially developed to help with scarring in burn victims, but was brought to the wider market when developers realized how effective it was in aiding in overall skin health. So what makes it so special?

Made with concentrated amounts of La Mers famed miracle broth (which is made from hand-harvested kelp) plus a stabilizing ferment that combines marine algae and seawater and holds three different types of sea minerals that help rejuvenate skin. When one of our editors tested out the concentrate for a full month, she saw her skin transform into a brighter, more even, and more hydrated version of itself, and deemed the product well worth the hefty chunk of change it will cost you.

Testament Beauty Turkish Coffee 3-in-1 Mask $58.00

For $58 (which, admittedly, feels like a steal compared to some of the other products on this list), this mask will give you triple beauty benefits in a single application. Finely-ground coffee seeds exfoliate and awaken skin, a combination of niacinamide and anti-inflammatory botanicals (think: safflower and sunflower) help to calm irritation, and ceramides and fatty acids aid in hydration and skin barrier strength. Its a scrub, a mask, and a moisturizer all in one, and can be used in place of multiple steps in your usual routine.

MZ Skin Lift & Lustre Golden Elixir Antioxidant Serum $280.00

Originally $329, now $280

I count this as one of the few luxury serums in my own skin-care collection, and can confirm that its among the best that money can buy. Formulated by dermatologist Maryam Zamani, its made with a concentrated blend of stem cells, botanical extracts, and hyaluronic acid. According to clinical studies conducted by the brand, over the course of 30 days, the antioxidant-rich serum increases hydration by 25 percent, improves wrinkle depth by 16 percent, and enhances radiance by 38 percent. Personally, I love to use it as a part of my a.m. routine (or ahead of special occasions), because its gold flecks give my complexion a lit-from-within glow that looks gorgeous on its own or layered under makeup. Whats more? You can also dab it on your cheeks, brow bones, or Cupids bow as a stand-in for your go-to highlighter.
