If a skincare product is truly effective, it doesn't take long for word to get out — online and IRL. And when it comes to certain serums, masks, and moisturizers, it's no surprise that they've earned legions of devoted fans who can't imagine their regimens any other way. Glowing skin, after all, rarely happens by accident — and when you find something that works, you stick with it.

Such is the case with the following skin saviors from Sephora. These are the products that have become Insta-famous, take center stage in #shelfies, and — most importantly — live up to the hype. They're beloved for good reason, and it just so happens that this is the best time of year to shop, since Sephora is offering many of these cult skincare favorites in wildly well-priced value sets you can't buy anywhere else. Whether you're browsing for friends or (let's be honest) shopping for yourself, achieving glowing skin has never been easier — or more affordable.
