15 October Beauty Buys That Editors Are Obsessed With

When it comes to treating a breakout, I get aggressive. I pull out my strongest chemical peel and then top it off with an extra-strength salicylic spot treatment. The end result is pimple free, but my skin is also extremely dry — I'm talking flaky, dusty, desert dry.

So recently I broke up with all my acne-prone products to take a gentler approach. This Winter, I'm all about more moisture. I've started double cleansing with oil and use overnight sleep masks to layer on hydration. But my latest discovery comes straight from Seoul's beauty street: pressed serum. Blithe Tundra Chaga Pressed Serum ($49) is a Korean import that smooths on like a gel, but doesn't leave your skin sticky. It's also the only thing that I can wear under sunscreen that doesn't leave my skin feeling like a greasy mask.
