This face sunscreen is great for sensitive skin — NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio has rosacea and sensitive skin, and says this is the only formula that doesn’t irritate her. The formula is invisible and uncles niacinamide to soothe any inflammation and redness, along with sodium hyaluronate for added hydration, according to the brand.
When I tested this LED device for three weeks this past spring, it helped clear up breakouts and improve my skin’s overall look and texture. It has three settings, all of which are great for daily use and run for three minutes per cycle: red light (for boosting collagen production), blue light (for fighting acne-causing bacteria) and a setting that lets you use both. The headband is also adjustable, making it comfortable for everyone to wear. (for my full breakdown, you can read my review here).
A sale is a great time to try out a high-end, luxury product, and this moisturizer from Augustinus Bader is the perfect choice. It’s made with hydrating hyaluronic acid and squalane, along with evening primrose oil and vitamin E to help your skin retain moisture, according to the brand. It’s also highly-concentrated, so a little goes a long way.
You can use this exfoliant as a toner for addressing texture and blemishes — I use it whenever I’m working on clearing up a breakout. It’s also great for sensitive skin, since you can use it more than once per day without any irritation. I also like that it’s lightweight and layers well with other skin care products.
Our editors love this sunscreen from Supergoop, which is why it made the top five in our SPF 100 ranking. The formula is invisible and lightweight, and works well for all skin tones and types. You can use it as a primer under makeup and keeps the greasiness of oily skin in check, which is why it’s one of my go-to formulas.
Oribe makes some of the best hair care products on the market and this bundle is formulated to restore moisture to damaged hair, according to the brand. Both products include ingredients we know and love from our extensive reporting: an amino acid complex for strengthening damaged cuticles, argan oil for adding shine and controlling frizz and a bio-restorative complex made from plant collagen, caffeine and niacinamide to moisturize and heal your hair strands, according to Oribe. The shampoo and conditioner are also safe for all hair types, including color- and keratin-treated hair.
Cosrx products have been my skin care staples for over a decade, and this moisturizer is one of my favorites from over the years. The formula includes snail secretion to boost and maintain your moisture levels, and adenosine to address fine lines, according to the brand. It has a slimy consistency to begin with, but once you work it into the skin it has a lightweight, hydrating formula that keeps my skin moisturized without excess grease throughout the day.
This moisturizer has a soothing formula that includes niacinamide to ease irritation along with glycerin and ceramides to maintain your skin’s moisture barrier. It has a lightweight, fragrance-free formula that’s great for sensitive skin, which is why it made the top three in our testing and ranking of the best 100 moisturizers. A little goes a long way — NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin says she only uses a small bit at a time when applying.
This hair dryer is designed to adapt to your styling preferences. Once you select your hair texture, the dryer adjusts heat and speed settings for the best combination that will strike a balance between drying your hair and balancing your hair’s moisture levels, according to T3. The dryer also comes with three attachments for different types of drying, including a style attachment, a quick-dry attachment and a diffuse attachment, along with a dryer stand.
Dermatologists recommended this overnight treatment in our best exfoliating products story. It fades dark spots using lemongrass and licorice extracts, while the lactic acid helps exfoliate your skin without stripping away moisture, according to the brand. It’s meant as an overnight treatment, however for those with sensitive skin, the brand suggests rinsing it off after 15 minutes.
Hair oils are great for softening your hair and helping restore moisture, and this oil also includes healing benefits for damaged hair. You can use it on damp or dry hair, and has a lightweight texture that won’t weigh down your hair, according to the brand.
