Sephora's 2023 Skin Care Selection May Be the Best It's Ever Been

Give tired undereyes a quick pick-me-up with the Farmacy Wake Up Honey Eye Cream with Brightening Vitamin C ($45). It has a thick and creamy texture that feels supremely hydrating thanks to the honey, so if you experience dry flakes around the eyes, this is a great option. It also has caffeine formulated into the product, so it can temporarily plump the area.

Everybody's favorite brand on Instagram just launched the Glow Recipe Avocado Ceramide Moisture Barrier Cleanser ($28), which is a gentle cream face wash that's formulated for all skin types. Use it on its own in the morning, or as the second step in your nighttime double cleanse routine. Trust us, your sensitive, dry, or irritated skin will thank you.

For anyone who wants a face cream that packs all the hydration but isn't too heavy, we recommend the Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Brightening Moisturizer ($56). The cream is moisturizing but surprisingly lightweight, so you can use it under makeup in the morning or, if you have oilier or combination skin, as the last step in your nighttime routine.

Everybody swears by the power of retinol, but if your skin is too sensitive for the potent ingredient (or you don't want to deal with the potential drying effects), try the brand-new Summer Fridays Midnight Ritual Retinol Renewal Serum ($69) instead. It's formulated with a retinol alternative called vegan retinyl linoleate, as well as soothing oatmeal and tiger grass extract to calm the skin.

If your self-care Sunday ritual always involves a sheet mask, this Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Vitamin C Lactic Biocellulose Brightening Treatment Mask ($12) is just what you're looking for. It's formulated with brightening vitamin c and the gently exfoliant lactic acid, so you can wake up on Monday not only feeling but looking refreshed, too.

The Mara Chia + Moringa Algae Enzyme Cleansing Oil ($58) is the ideal first step in a double cleanse routine. The oil formula not only helps remove makeup and debris wonderfully, but it's also gentle enough for all skin types. Plus, we love the elegant packaging.

When you need a thick, rich moisturizer, this Fresh Black Tea Anti-Aging Ceramide Moisturizer ($95) does the job. It's formulated with heavy hitting hydrators like squalane and ceramides, which makes it perfect for dry skin.

Winter is traditionally dull and cold, so now's the time to work on brightening up your complexion. This Drunk Elephant Bouncy Brightfacial Brightening Mask with 10% Azelaic Acid + 1% Salicylic Acid ($68) is a winner. Our editors had the chance to try this out, and you can read our review of the Drunk Elephant Bouncy Brightfacial Brightening Mask.

The latest launch in Scarlett Johansson's skin-care line, The Outset Ultralight Moisture-Boosting Botanical Oil ($44) is a multipurpose oil that can do everything and anything. Use it as a face oil as the last step in your skin-care routine, add a drop to your foundation to give your skin an extra grow, or run it through your hair to give it a little extra shine.

If you're looking to restore or repair the skin barrier, pick up this Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream ($48). It's a thicker version of the brand's beloved Ultra Facial Cream, and is ideal for people with dryer skin, particularly in the winter months.

Love pimple patches enough to wear them during the day, on errands, or during work calls? You need these new Peace Out Salicylic Acid Acne Day Dots ($19), which are thinner than the brand's traditional pimple patches, and they're also sheer, so no one will be able to tell you're wearing one. Don't let that fool you, though, they're still formulated with salicylic acid and retinol to diminish breakouts just as well as the originals.

Niacinamide is a powerhouse skin-care ingredient that helps to even skin tone and target dark spots. If that sounds like your ideal treatment, this Sunday Riley B3 Nice 10% Niacinamide Serum ($65) would be a great addition to your everyday routine. It promises to treat post-acne scarring, enlarged pores, and redness.

If you're looking to get the benefits of retinol without the irritation that can come with the ingredient, try this Josie Maran Pro-Retinol Megamoisture Face Cream ($54). It's supremely moisturizing, which helps to combat the drying properties of the retinol, and is a great option if you're new to retinol or have more sensitive skin.

This Tata Harper Superkind Refining Cleanser ($88) is an exfoliating cleanser, but as part of the brand's Superkind line, it's formulated for sensitive skin. The grainy rice powder helps to gently cleanse and exfoliate, and it's also formulated to be hypoallergenic, vegan, and cruelty-free.

The Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid + Collagen + Niacinamide Activating Serum ($69) is loaded with active ingredients, including niacinamide and peptides, to support a plump, hydrated complexion. It's a skin-care powerhouse, and is a serum people of all skin types can use.

Feeling like splurging? This Dr. Barbara Sturm Super Anti-Aging Night Cream ($395) is the ultimate in luxury. It's supremely hydrating but doesn't feel too heavy on the skin, and is meant to promote microcirculation, which is the ultimate in skin repair.
