Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence ($15, originally $25)

Yes, the snail mucin essence all over your TikTok feed (and in everyone's cabinets) is editor-approved. It brightens, soothes redness, and helps repair your moisture barrier for a natural glass-skin glow that will rack up the compliemnts. One editor sang its praises in her Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence review.

Editor Quote: "My skin's texture has actually improved, and it feels way more even now. The hydration payoff is also huge, and I feel like it actually helps my moisturizer work better, too." — Kelsey Garcia, lifestyle director

Grace & Stella Under Eye Patches ($19, originally $26)

Whether you're recovering from a night out or notice your undereye area is looking more tired than usual, you'll want to reach for these viral under eye patches from Grace & Stella. They contain sea moss, hyaluronic acid, and retinol to nourish and plump the skin with results showing up in as little as 15 to 20 minutes. Read our review of the Grace & Stella Under Eye Patches for more details and before and after photos.

Editor Quote: "What I love most about Grace & Stella's Under Eye Patches is how effortlessly they elevate my skincare routine while delivering real results. From the moment I apply them, the cooling sensation feels like a mini spa treatment, instantly soothing and de-puffing my tired eyes. The patches stay perfectly in place, allowing me to multitask without worrying about them slipping. After just 15 minutes, my undereye area looks visibly brighter, more hydrated, and refreshed — like I actually got eight hours of sleep! Plus, the patches make me feel luxurious thanks to their vibrant color." — Larry Stansbury, Popsugar contributor

Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder ($26)

Skin care isn't just about what you apply topically to the face: it also revolves around what you consume. This bestselling powder, loved by celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, is packed with collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C to deliver plenty of benefits to the skin as well as your hair and nails. Just consistently mix it into your coffee, smoothies, or even water, and you'll notice a major difference over time. Get more details in our editor's review of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder.

Editor Quote: "I love the collagen powder for its ability to add a hearty dose of protein to anything I'm eating or drinking — it transforms a black coffee or low-protein veggie soup into something that's more satiating and protein-packed...Depending on how much protein I need, I add one or two scoops to coffee, soups, pasta sauces, oatmeal, or smoothies." - Christina Stiehl, former senior fitness editor

Youth to the People Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser ($39)

You wouldn't slather an actual green juice on your face, but the ingredients in the Youth to the People Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser feature a lot of the same nutrients. In this case, things like kale and spinach treat skin to vitamins and fatty acids while cleansing, and there's an added boost of antioxidant-rich green tea to fight visible signs of aging, too.

Avène Retrinal 0.05% Multi-Corrective Cream ($50)

If you're looking for products with vitamin A and feel as though you've exhausted most basic retinols on the market, this is a great, next-step option. The lightweight cream uses retinaldehyde (a more advanced form of vitamin A) to visibly reduce wrinkles, smooth texture, and renew skin. You can use it daily because it's on the gentler side, and the 4.6-star rating, thanks to 750 great reviews, speaks for itself.

Drunk Elephant A-Gloei Retinol Oil ($73)

While this brand's retinol cream is always a bestseller, the new Drunk Elephant A-Gloei Retinol Oil is definitely worth a try as a baby step to something stronger. It also protects against free radicals and UV exposure but, as a bonus, adds soothing marula oil and ceramides for bouncy, well-moisturized skin.

Shani Darden Retinol Reform Treatment Serum ($75)

There's a reason why so many celebrities are obsessed with the Shani Darden Retinol Reform Treatment Serum: it really works, fast. The star ingredient is encapsulated retinol, which is gentler than traditional retinol, as this stays on the skin's surface longer and is released a little at a time. Teamed with AHAs for exfoliation and Pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract for antioxidants that help reduce visible signs of aging and defend against pollution, this product is a triple threat.

Herbivore Phoenix Rosehip Anti-Aging Face Oil ($88)

Pick up the Herbivore Phoenix Rosehip Anti-Aging Face Oil for thirsty, rough skin, since it's packed with a range of rich botanical oils — and no fillers. Just a few drops go a long way in conditioning and hydrating skin as fatty acids and other nutrients help fight the signs of aging.

Algenist Genius Liquid Collagen ($115)

There's more than just vegan collagen packed in this Algenist Genius Liquid Collagen serum. While that ingredient helps skin get — and stay — supple, there's also alguronic acid to visibly reduce lines and wrinkles, plus microalgae oil to moisturize.

Sunday Riley Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Treatment ($122)

The Sunday Riley Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Treatment exfoliates to reveal a fresher, younger-looking complexion underneath and also plumps in fine lines for smoother skin overall. The product — which earned 230,000 loves on Sephora's site — also includes licorice and lemongrass to brighten dark spots and prickly pear to soothe redness.

Dr. Barbara Sturm Anti-Pollution Drops ($160)

Not all aging has to do with actual age. The Dr. Barbara Sturm Anti-Pollution Drops tackle signs of digital aging (from blue light) and atmospheric aging (from pollution and other environmental aggressors) with marine and cocoa-seed extracts for existing problems, plus shield skin in the future.

Tracie Martyn Firming Serum ($138, originally $198)

The Tracie Martyn Firming Serum was born for your entire face, undereye area, neck, and décolletage. The eponymous brand founder and celebrity facialist recommends applying it after cleansing to reap the results of its antioxidant and hyaluronic-acid-rich formula that targets wrinkles and fine lines.

Omnilux Contour Face ($355, originally $395)

It's notable and impressive for an antiaging product to be FDA-cleared, and this wearable, lightweight mask uses red and near-infrared LED wavelengths to help rejuvenate skin, fade pigmentation, and improve firmness. Sessions are 10 minutes long, though you can repeat with the click of a button if you have time for more, and users report fast results.

Editor Quote: "First of all, I love that this product is HSA- and FSA-eligible, and it really makes a great gift for someone who's concerned with preventing visible signs of aging but also likes to multitask. I wear it when I'm folding my laundry and watching TV in the evenings, and am always delightfully surprised by the feeling of another session completed.

While the Omnilux Contour Face is great for when I'm busy, I actually love making red light therapy part of my meditation, so when I can lay under my Celluma Face ($795), another FDA-cleared product, I really try to wind down and decompress from the day. This flexible "dome" emits even stronger wavelengths (blue: 465nm / red: 640nm / near-infrared: 880nm), and offers two settings, including acne and wrinkles, both at 30 minutes per session. Honestly, I'd recommend either product depending on what type of person you are and whether or not you like to lay down or keep moving during therapy." — Sarah Wasilak, shopping director
