Joanna Vargas Supernova Serum ($225, originally $295)
When it comes to skin rejuvenating, nothing does the trick like high-quality retinol. The problem is that prescription retinol, like tretinoin and other over-the-counter retinol formulas, can irritate sensitive skin types. But the Joanna Vargas Supernova Serum, which is also used in celebrity aesthetician Joanna Vargas's Supernova Facial, is thoughtfully formulated with retinol combined with chamomile, summer snowflake flower extract, and Persian silk tree extract to help clear, tighten, firm, and brighten skin, leaving it with a radiant glow.
What We Love:
- This serum leaves skin looking glowy and refreshed without any redness, irritation, or peeling that often comes with adjusting to a retinol product. Unlike most retinol serums, which require you to use them only a few evenings out of the week, this one can be used daily.
Who It's Best For:
- Those with sensitive skin types looking for a radiant glow and restored skin.
The Details:
- While pricier than most over-the-counter retinol formulas, this product visibly reduces fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and skin sagging while revealing a glowing complexion with zero irritation.
- Applying 2-3 pumps to cleansed, dry skin on the face, neck, and décolletage in the evening leaves skin visibly brighter and smoother. Once absorbed, follow up with a night cream and apply SPF in the morning.
