Why you need it: This is one of the brand's newest face creams and has been met with applause. The first key ingredient is manuka honey from New Zealand. Honey is a natural humectant and antibacterial agent that will make your skin look and feel plump and soft. The second key ingredient is red ginseng from Korea, a superfood that's long been used in medicinal skin care to stimulate cell turnover and make skin brighter.

Skin Lab Red Serum
Why you need it: This lightweight, silky serum melts into your skin and is basically a liquid super fruit salad. It's loaded up with pomegranate oil to brighten skin and improve elasticity, antioxidant-rich acai to even your complexion, blueberry to brighten and moisturize, and vitamin C-rich raspberry to make skin firmer and younger looking. It has almost a water-like consistency, smells slightly sweet and fruity, and will leave your skin feeling soft.

ACURE Brightening Vegetable Peel
Why you need it: Consider this the supercharged green smoothie of skin-care peels. It's infused with vitamin-dense kale, spinach, and chlorella to gently nix dead skin and uneven texture. It feels supersticky once applied (pro tip: put your hair up), and you can feel a light tingle as it starts to work its magic. Once rinsed, skin feels noticeably smoother and appears more radiant.

Osea Malibu Undaria Body Polish
Why you need it: If it's one of Kylie's favorite body scrubs, you know it's gotta be good. This luxurious, spa-worthy body polish smells earthy and rich. Consider it to be the Goldilocks of scrubs: not too thick, not too thin; not too abrasive, not too mild. It's just right. In addition to finely milled pumice to exfoliate, it contains organic acai, hemp and passion fruit seed oils to moisturize, and undaria (a type of algae) to improve skin elasticity and reduce redness.

Urb Apothecary Green Tea Serum
Why you need it: This is a denser, more oil-heavy serum as far as serums go, so it's ideal for nighttime regimens. Applying it before bed will let the product seep into your skin and work its magic. The star ingredient is green tea — aka matcha — an antiaging ingredient that protects, nourishes, and prepares the skin. It also contains St. John's Wort (an antibacterial agent and moisturizer), chamomile (to soothe and repair), and calendula (to stimulate cell turnover).

It also contains jojoba meal and beads to exfoliate, shea butter, and nourishing oils (calendula, meadow foam, rosehip, hemp seed, and acai). There are plenty of antioxidant-rich extracts, like seaweed, comfrey, rooibos, goji, and blueberry.

Chia seed oil is rich in omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid to moisturize and soothe the skin, and passion fruit seed oil (which is the same thing as maracuja oil, by the way) boasts antiaging properties.
