Want to Invest in Luxe Skin Care? These Brands Are Worth the Splurge

Celebrity esthetician Renée Rouleau created Anti Cyst ($46) to take down the size of inflamed blemishes. The key is the ethyl lactate and citric acid, which helps minimize throbbing, painful cysts on the skin. Use it on your back, for ingrown hairs, or for any bulbous cyst that appears on your face — these types of breakouts aren't meant to come to a head, and it's important to calm them down and not pick them.

Other products to try: Advanced Resurfacing Serum ($85) and Rapid Response Detox Masque ($61).
