Super nourishing, skin-rejuvenating oil serum with a bio-retinol blend / 1oz & .3oz
YULI Modern Alchemist is one of this culty brand’s cultiest creations. Like most YULI products, it’s a statement: in this case, “Why bother with retinol or other retinoids when you can use this magnificent, golden-hued oil?”
The richest of YULI’s serum-oils, Modern Alchemist is both a step up from Liquid courage in terms of nourishment and activity as well as a wonderful companion to it: think of Liquid Courage as your antioxidant-rich daytime hero, with Modern Alchemist as your gently line-softening, skin-plumping retinol alternative at night.
That said, one of the things we love about Modern Alchemist is that — unlike retinol — it can be used day or night, since it not only doesn’t cause sun sensitivity, but also serves to protect skin from environmental damage. Instead, its blend of bio-available retinol alternatives — rose, wild carrot, sweet potato, starflower, and wild cherry — gently, and without creating any disruption in the skin, work towards the same goal of accelerating collagen synthesis and cell renewal while supporting skin’s repair process. No, it’s not your dermatologist’s retinoid, but if you’re quite sensitive-skinned and patient, it’s the way to go.
Especially since you get a whole host of goodies along with it, like carotenoid- and transretinoic-acid-rich rosehip, EFA-rich sea buckthorn, and the intriguing Tamarind Seed Infusion, included for its ability to act like hyaluronic acid…but possibly even better.
And while it's the richest of YULI's serum-oils, it's still perfectly balanced enough to suit a range of skin types from Dry to Combination-Oily — with a natural, subtle, herbal scent that comes entirely from its performance-focused ingredients.
Modern Alchemist is everything we love about YULI: inspired by tried and true ingredient mechanisms, but made better through the power of perfectly chosen plants.

Yuli Modern Alchemist

Super-light, fragrance-free moisturizer for soft, shine-free skin / 1.7 oz
The effect that this lightweight moisturizer produces on skin is the exact demonstration of the French phrase “peau de pêche,” which basically means “skin like a peach.” This beautifully light lotion sinks in for perfectly balanced moisture with no shininess, making it positively dreamy for combination complexions.
Behind that peachy effect is the formula’s phytosqualene, an olive-derived, non-greasy oil that replicates the exact type of oil naturally found in skin. So instead of sitting on top of your skin, it joins its kindred spirits below and nourishes your skin from the inside out while lemon balm and neroli floral waters keep things perfectly calm up top. It’s so simple, yet so elegant and brilliant — and in the end, so filled with common sense — that it really could only come from Paris, couldn’t it? Hydra'Vitamin B includes long-chain hyaluronic acid, too, to ensure that skin stays hydrated.
To add to its beautiful effect on skin, this lotion is ECOCERT certified organic, fragrance-free, and so soothing that it suits even the most delicate or inflamed complexions. It also plays very nicely with makeup and sunscreen and can be used around the eyes. We love pairing it with BioRecept’s Total Lift Eclat during the day, for extra radiance and skin-firming action, and with BioRecept’s NéoBio at night, for gentle skin-smoothing and pore-clearing benefits.

Super-hydrating, power-packed serum that looks like a mist / 3.4 fl oz
de Mamiel Dewy Facial Mist is one of those products that you might at first overlook; mists, too frequently, seem to be the most superfluous products in skincare routines. But from the first time you try it, we think you’ll agree that this one might not only be the hardest-working mist on the market, but also one of the heaviest hitters in your regimen. As creator Annee de Mamiel noted, “Dewy Facial Mist came out of a need to reawaken and strengthen dehydrated skin quickly. I see in my patients that lack of hydration is a problem whatever the skin type, through daily lifestyle stress and harsh environmental elements.” Since this product needed to act quickly (and effectively), she added all kinds of goodies to this formula — so many that it is essentially a hydrating serum in a mist form. It may smell like a rosewater mist, and it does indeed have a base of organic rose and neroli flower waters. But Dewy Facial Mist also contains skin-plumping peptides; calming aloe, cucumber, and white oak bark; super-hydrating hyaluronic acid; moisturizing glycerides from linseed, olive, almond, and borage; microbiome-conscious probiotics and prebiotics; free-radical-fighting superoxide dismutase; and a blend of flower essences and rose quartz powder to further address stressed skin and tired spirits.
Our team has found it to be the most hydrating mist we've ever tried, with glow-boosting benefits that go far beyond simple hydration — yet with no stickiness or heaviness. It just feels like your skin, but better. (We were so curious about the story behind this sleeper hit that Dara interviewed creator Annee de Mamiel about it; check out the inside story here.) Use it after cleansing to tone, refresh, and treat your skin to all these benefits before you apply your moisturizer; for best results, Annee recommends spraying it into your hands and then pressing it into your skin. It’s also the perfect thing to set makeup (in that case, spray it directly on your face) and hydrate skin during long flights .
Learn more about Annee de Mamiel and her unusual background as a skincare therapist, healer, and product creator in our Brand Spotlight interview; every de Mamiel product at Ayla passes through Annee's hands, and you can tell.

De Mamiel Dewy Facial Mist

Beautifully buttery anti-aging cream for balanced to dry skin types / 1.7 oz
This beautifully textured anti-aging cream, blended with high concentrations of peptides, absorbs easily into skin for deep nourishment and real results. Skin Perfect Moisturizer features a trio of replenishing oils (apricot kernel, olive, and sea buckthorn) along with a heap of anti-aging peptides to support skin’s collagen levels, and it has been proven to diminish fine lines and wrinkles by an astounding 45% after two months. This addictive, buttery cream, packaged in an eco-friendly airless pump, has a mild, phthalate-free fragrance. It’s particularly effective on balanced to dry skin and can be used day or night.

M Picaut Skin Perfect Moisturiser

Cushy, deeply moisturizing mask for dry, sensitive skin / 1.7 oz
M Picaut Hydra Lagoon Overnight Mask is one of the creamiest, most versatile, most luxuriously hydrating masks we’ve ever come across. If you have a dry, sensitive complexion that could use a firming moisture boost, this bottle of malachite-infused, skin-repairing luxury is for you — and it’s a must for anyone whose skin could use a deeply hydrating post-ski, post-flight, or post-sun treatment. Hydra Lagoon can be used as a 10-15 minute mask, or you can leave it on overnight for a deeply replenishing and firming moisturizing treatment.
Although Hydra Lagoon is one of the richest products we carry, it doesn’t feel greasy or overly heavy. Its secret, we think, lies in the fact that it uses a smart blend of lightweight but long-acting moisture boosters, like hyaluronic acid and pentavitin, along with nutrient-rich avocado and amaranth seed oils, squalane, and a touch of cocoa butter. Sensitive skin is also coddled with soothing oat extract and niacinamide.
But the show-stopping ingredient that everyone talks about in this formula is the malachite that gives it a slight green tint. This green gemstone has a very high copper content, and it’s often included in luxury skincare formulas for its abilities to boost skin’s firmness; M Picaut also loves the way it soothes and protects stressed skin, mopping up free radicals and helping you make up for a day out in the sun. Far from being a mere talking point (“oooh, crystals”), malachite makes this mask the absolute perfect thing to slather on your skin after a day of being exposed to the elements. Those Swedes do know their way around a long winter, you know.

Facial Masks

Ultra-lightweight and breathable, double-layered silk face mask / 1 pair of washable masks
Luzern’s Mulberry Silk Face Mask is one of those products that just floored us with its perfection. When our team first opened our box of these, we thought, “Silk face masks? That’s a good idea. Let’s give it a go.” But soon, we realized — just as we did with silk pillowcases — that once you switch to silk, you can’t switch back. You just can’t.
Especially when it’s this silk: double-layered and tightly woven mulberry silk, turned into a mask with adjustable ear loops, an adjustable nose band (so you aren’t constantly pushing your mask up), and the perfect fit around the chin.
What makes silk the perfect material for a face mask is what also makes it the perfect material for a pillowcase: it won’t sop up your skincare products and dry out your skin. Super-soft, breathable silk is also hypoallergenic, making it perfect for sensitive skin. The mask is available in two colors: navy and white. They can be purchased individually or as a pair. (When purchased as a pair, they come in a soft Luzern pouch, which is perfect for tucking them away.)
We still adore our Aplat masks : we use those when we want a mask that we can easily slip a filter into, or we want something that will wrap around our heads for exercise or all-day wear, or we need something that is virtually indestructible. But Luzern’s delicate Face Mask feels so soft, light, and cool on the skin that it’s the one we choose when we want to feel like our mask is barely there.
If you’ve been searching for a truly breathable face mask to no avail, you have to try this one. (Check out Luzern’s tips for maskne here, too.) This set of masks includes 1 white mask and 1 navy mask.

Please note that these masks are for personal use only: they are not a substitute for N95, surgical, or procedural masks. Due to the nature of the COVID-19 virus, all mask sales are final and not eligible for return or exchange. Please follow the latest CDC guidelines on how to best keep safe.

Rich, deeply hydrating, and elasticity-boosting oil / 1 oz full size
This super-rich oil is one of our favorites for dry and very dry skin. Its mix of elasticity-boosting essential fatty acids is truly therapeutic for thirsty complexions: evening primrose and borage oils are very high in gamma linoleic acid, an omega-6 essential fatty acid that helps keep skin soft and supple, while kiwi seed oil is rich in omega-3s to provide a perfect barrier-repairing blend. Argan and blackberry seed oils deliver natural vitamins C and E, making this a beautifully balanced all-rounder for dry, aging skin.
We love patting this oil on top of Marie Veronique’s Gentle Retinol Serum. If your skin tends to be dry and you’re 35+, you will, too.

Marie Veronique Rejuvenating Night Oil

Gentle hydrating scrub for most skin types / 6 oz full size or 1 oz travel size
Don't be fooled by the cushy, rich texture of this scrub — Luzern's Micro-Exfoliant packs serious smoothing power with a combination of micro-fine jojoba beads and certified organic botanicals. Suitable for all skin types but especially great for those in the Balanced to Dry range, the creamy formula features olive-derived Squalene, jojoba oil, and a host of other hydrating heavyweights. Witch hazel and Hyssopus Officinalis add toning and antiseptic properties for a clean-rinsing wash-off and fresh afterfeel.

Luzern Micro-exfoliant

Deeply-hydrating, soothing mask for rejuvenated, youthful-looking skin / 5 sheet masks
Luzern’s Bio-Cellulose Sculpting Masque was, for a couple of years, only available for use in professional facials: we loved using it in our Oxygen Facials and Deluxe Facials for its ability to pump up hydration, soothe skin, and rejuvenate dull, dehydrated complexions. (If you’re one of the lucky ones who got to see Sarah for an oxygen facial in our treatment room before most things went virtual, this mask is one of the reasons why you left with such radiant skin.)
We always wished we could offer to you for use at home. And, with perfect timing — now that most of us are making do with at-home treatments while craving the glowy effects of a pro facial — Luzern has made that happen.
This unique mask is made of biocellulose, a biodegradable, jelly-like material that adheres to your face like a second skin, serving as the ultimate delivery system for a built-in serum that immediately cools and comforts. It also drenches your skin with goodies to encourage optimal hydration (hyaluronic acid and laminaria algae extract) and a firmer, more youthful looking complexion (Vitamin C, a probiotic complex, and Omega-7 fatty acids). It even shores up skin’s natural resilience with apple stem cells and olive-derived squalane fortified with carotenoids, B-vitamins, and superoxide dismutase.
Even the driest and most dehydrated complexions look refreshed and rejuvenated after just one 10-15 minute session with this mask. Once you remove it, give your skin a quick mist with your favorite mist-on toner, which reactivates the Masque’s serum; massage it into your face gently, then follow with your favorite gel-based serum and face oil, and you’ll see what we mean. It’s truly transformative — just what we need to recharge your skin when you want to look healthy, vital, and glowing again.

Luzern Bio-cellulose Sculpting Masque

Mineral foundation powder — without the mess / 0.28 oz
Inika’s Baked Mineral Foundation, along with the brand’s Liquid Foundation and BB Cream, made us fall in love with this organic, vegan, cruelty-free brand from Australia.
This powder has been baked on a terracotta tile in Italy, a technique that allows Inika to provide the performance of a pressed powder without the chemicals that many pressed powders contain to prevent crumbling. Baked Mineral Foundation is a beautifully lightweight, breathable, hypoallergenic powder with sheer but buildable coverage that can be used on top of Inika’s Liquid Foundation or BB Cream for extra polish or on its own (we particularly love how it looks on top of oils). There's a mirror inside the compact, too, which is quite handy.
This Baked Mineral Foundation is Certified Vegan, Cruelty Free, and Halal.
Our shade selection advice (click here for a shade finder with images):
- Grace is ideal for very fair & porcelain skin tones; it suits very pale Asian skin tones well. - Strength imparts a peach hue with a peachy/beige undertone; it's suitable for very fair to fair skin tones. - Unity works nicely on light & medium light skin tones with cool, rosy undertones. - Nurture is Inika's most popular shade; it's a forgiving colour that blends with most Caucasian skin tones. - Patience is a warm beige for medium skin tones; it's slightly darker than Nurture but not as honey-colored as Trust. - Trust imparts golden hues for medium to dark beige skin and honey skin tones. - Freedom's golden red hues work best on medium-dark beige skin tones, darker Asian skin tones, or tanned & light olive skin. - Inspiration has a darker brown shade with yellow hues. Suitable for very dark olive to yellow skin tones.
Want to try a sample first? Inika’s trial kits provide you with a sample of the brand’s Liquid Foundation, their fabulous Primer, and two shades of their Loose Mineral Foundation (whose colors match the Baked Mineral Foundation).

Uniquely effective serum to address the effects of stress on skin / 1 fl oz
de Mamiel First Fix is an incredibly hydrating, radiance-boosting serum designed specifically to treat both the causes and symptoms of stress. It’s a thoroughly modern product that took creator Annee de Mamiel a full 13 years to develop.
The first thing you’ll notice among its effects is the awe-inspiring moisture-boosting, skin-plumping benefit, thanks to hyaluronic acid, squalane, and a suite of oils including Prickly Pear, Kahai, and Pomegranate. Adding further support to skin’s vulnerable barrier is Ectoin, a powerful hydrator with stabilizing and soothing properties. Right away, you'll notice that your skin feels perfectly cushioned and hydrated without heaviness.
To revitalize dull, fatigued complexions, Round-Headed Bush Clover, Rhodiola Rosea, Blueberry Polyphenols, and Seabuckthorn Adaptogen work together to restore, revitalize, and brighten.
Then, a trio of high-tech ingredients step in to specifically address the way stress shows up on your skin. There’s Neurophroline to counteract the negative effects of cortisol on skin; Passioline, an active that’s clinically proven to support collagen and elastin synthesis; and Telosense, designed to protect and enhance skin DHA health.
Its finishing touch is the de Mamiel Cortisol Resilience Complex, an aromatherapeutic blend of Rose, Cape Chamomile, Vetiver, and Sandalwood oils developed to address the emotional impact of stress, helping to break the cycle that would otherwise lead to further stress-related skin symptoms.
First Fix is suitable for all skin types and conditions, and as de Mamiel puts it, “With First Fix, it’s less about skin types and more about how your skin is feeling and behaving. Given that stress is such a pervasive issue, stress-related skin conditions can include lack of radiance, dryness, irritation, and increased sensitivity. If you’re feeling stressed and your skin is showing signs of confusion, First Fix will help restore it back to optimal health and balance.”
For those of us who can’t visit Annee de Mamiel’s clinic in person (learn more about her approach to stress in clinic here), First Fix is as close as it gets to one of her magically stress-relieving treatments. For the full story behind this product, check out our interview with Annee about its development here, and you'll find her usage tips here.

Impressively well-rounded balancing facial oil / 1 oz
M.E. Skin Fuel was suggested to us by the YULI team, immediately, when we asked, “Which of your oil serums should we try first?” As they put it, “It’s the universal oil. Anyone can use it, and it provides your skin with the optimal balance of everything.”
Balance is what this lightweight, golden-hued oil is all about. It has a beautiful, silky texture, the result of YULI’s careful work to blend nutrient-rich oils into the formula in precise ratios. Due to its emphasis on plant oils that are kind to blemish-prone skin, it’s suitable even for oilier skin types; we also love how many antioxidant-rich oils are present in the formula, making it excellent for city dwellers.
But what will probably make most people fall for it, in addition to its light texture and balanced composition, is its delicate scent of pure jasmine. This essential-oil-free formula just smells like its ingredients, and they just happen to smell divine.
Also divine: its performance under makeup. Boost it with the Ambrosia Beauty Nectar for mind-blowingly beautiful results.

Yuli M.e. Skin Fuel

Soothing, purifying and refreshing toner that boosts circulation / 3.3 oz
MyHavtorn's Essence is much more than a facial toner: It's basically a tea that this small company has crafted for your skin. It features an infusion of sea buckthorn leaves, which have been handpicked from MyHavtorn's family farm in Bollebygd, Sweden. Suitable for all skin types, including those with sensitivity, MyHavtorn's Facial Essence refreshes and purifies the skin while promoting circulation. It can be used to remove residue after cleansing, or alone as a pick-me-up during the day (ideal during warmer months).  You can also use it to thin out their Facial Oil if you want to make it a little bit lighter: just spray a little in your hand and combine it with a few drops of oil. The ingredients, which include apple cider vinegar, have a pH-balancing effect on the skin.

Myhavtorn Organic Essence

Hydrating anti-aging treatment for lips / 0.33 oz
As you may have guessed from the number of Luzern products we offer, we love just about everything this brand creates. When we learned about their Lip Enhancing Treatment — which specifically addresses the signs of aging in addition to hydrating the thin, delicate skin on the lips — we were so excited, we could hardly stand it.
So it was a good thing this formula, designed to improve the texture and volume of the lips, didn’t disappoint. Packed with 18 powerful antioxidants, organic cold-pressed oils and shea butter, and a peptide that has been clinically proven to plump wrinkles in one month, it presents what we think is the best non-toxic anti-aging lip treatment out there. We also love the honeylike texture and the hands-free wand applicator that allows for precise application.

Luzern Lip Enhancing Treatment

Incredibly soothing pressed serum for sensitive, irritated skin / 1 fl oz
de Mamiel Skin Recovery Blend is described as a “pressed serum,” which is the first indicator that this beautiful product is unlike anything else.
Annee de Mamiel first started making the Skin Recovery Blend more than 10 years ago in her clinic, first in the form of a beautiful blue oil that she described as “eczema oil” — a salve she frequently blended for those suffering with skin irritation, dryness, and eczema. Over time, due to its soothing properties and beautiful blue color, so many people asked for bottles to take home that she made it into a more user-friendly, innovative balm-to-oil formula for dry, irritated, and inflamed skin.
Skin Recovery Blend has a beautiful blue color, reminiscent of an old favorite many of you may immediately think of, but in a form that melts into a lighter, more serum-like texture. At its heart is a collection of five azulene-rich essential oils — blue cypress, yarrow, blue tansy, German chamomile, and Cape chamomile — combined with white clay. Each one of these oils offers a cooling, anti-inflammatory action, but with additional individual benefits; it’s the combination that makes this balm so effective, with significant soothing and healing properties amplified by the other oils, butters, and extracts (including arnica and malachite) in the mix.
That blend of blue oils also provides a great example of the lengths to which Annee goes to guarantee consistency in her ingredients. Cape chamomile is a particularly powerful soother with great potential for sensitized skin, but it’s rarely used in skincare due to its cost and associated sourcing difficulties (it’s grown only in South Africa). Annee felt it vital for this product due to its effect on stress and anxiety, so she spent about two years establishing her own field for this crop with a farmer in South Africa.
Designed to address a broad spectrum of irritated skin conditions, Skin Recovery Blend can be used in a variety of ways. You can blend a dab between your fingers so that it turns into an oil, applying that all over as a moisturizer if you have dry skin (perfect for parched skin due to central heating or a/c; also great as an in-flight treatment). Alternatively, you can blend it with your favorite oil or apply it to specific areas of dryness and sensitivity; it’s an Ayla team favorite for maskne-related irritation and feels gorgeously cooling upon application.
As skincare guru Caroline Hirons has said, “it’s properly amazing.” If you'd like to try a sample first, you can request one in our Custom Sample Service.

De Mamiel Skin Recovery Blend

Toning and skin-barrier-supporting must have for fragile and reactive skin / 3.4 oz
TWELVE Beauty’s Ultra Revitalising Elixir is a toner that was specifically made for sensitive, reactive, vulnerable skin that has a fragile skin barrier. Its blend of botanical extracts and humectants soothe and protect skin, going beyond a toner’s pH-balancing properties to balance moisture levels and keep skin healthy and calm. It also stimulates the production of lipids in the upper layers of the skin, which improves the protective ability of the skin itself.
Those with delicate skin, redness, broken capillaries, and blotchiness will love this spritzed over their face after a cleanse with TWELVE’s Purifying Cleansing Beauty Cream; those with combination skin will find that it helps regulate shiny and dehydrated patches; and those whose skin struggles with weather changes or the aftereffects of sun exposure will find it especially refreshing. (And in case you were wondering if you reeeeally need a toning step in your routine, we've got you covered with an interview with creator Dr. Pedro Català here.)
Like the other items in the TWELVE collection, Ultra Revitalising Elixir is free from parabens, sulfates, silicones, petrochemicals and glycols; this product is also free of essential oils. This product has recently been reformulated, replacing the water content with mallow extract for greater soothing capabilities and a new form of vitamin B3 to more powerfully enhance skin's natural protective barrier.
Formulated and produced in Spain.

Twelve Beauty Ultra Revitalising Elixir

Nutrient-rich, anti-aging moisture gel / 1.2 oz
The Organic Pharmacy's light, nutrient-rich Antioxidant Gel is packed full of powerful antioxidants, sea minerals, and plant extracts to help lift and firm the skin as it minimizes the appearance of pores. Like The Organic Pharmacy's Antioxidant Serum, it smells citrusy and delicious. And it's also one of those products whose fans tend to never stray.
A great light moisturizer on its own, it can also be mixed with your favorite moisturizer for a lighter texture and a boost of antioxidant power during the day, then blended with The Organic Pharmacy's Antioxidant Serum for an anti-aging moisturizer at night.

The Organic Pharmacy Antioxidant Gel

Fast-absorbing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant facial oil / 1 oz full size
This mix of oils was chosen carefully to provide skin with the optimal balance of omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids to help prevent inflammation and help maintain a healthy skin barrier. It’s perfect for daytime use because it features so many powerful antioxidants — some of which are naturally sun protective, like astaxanthin and red raspberry seed oil.
We love how quickly it absorbs without leaving behind the greasy “I wear face oil, obviously!” look, thanks to the jojoba and borage oil base. But it can be used to pump up skin’s glow for special occasions, too: makeup artist Katey Denno used it to give Amber Heard a beautifully dewy, natural look when she appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Another major benefit of the fast-absorbing formula: it’s one of those rare oils that works across a variety of skin types. You can simply apply more if you’re dry, less if you’re oily. See “how to use” below for guidelines on exactly how many drops to apply.
Very delicately scented with a soft lavender/geranium essential oil blend.

Marie Veronique Protective Day Oil

Anti-aging face cream for sensitive skin / 1.7 oz
We simply adore MyHavtorn's Organic Facial Cream. This lightweight but cushy cream features nourishing, anti-aging, and soothing ingredients, combined in a formula that absorbs beautifully into skin, leaving a perfectly balanced and radiant finish. Its deep yellow-orange color comes from its high concentration of pure sea buckthorn oil, which has a host of soothing and anti-aging benefits; nourishing avocado, safflower, and argan oils help the cream penetrate easily into skin. Linden extract and bergamot oil provide additional soothing power, and the airless pump packaging allows for the omission of potentially irritating preservatives.
Works particularly well on top of 1-2 drops of MyHavtorn Organic Facial Oil for extra nourishment and hydration.

Myhavtorn Organic Face Cream

Intensive elasticity-boosting, skin-firming treatment / 1 oz
Luzern's Firming Collagen Booster serum hits all of the bases for aging complexions. Packed with peptides, marine algae, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid, this water-light serum visibly firms, smoothes fine lines, hydrates, and supports collagen production for thicker, plumper skin. Plus, all of its ingredients are organic, naturally-derived, and/or boast excellent (safe) ratings from the Environmental Working Group. Ideal for any skin type and condition, even the very sensitive.
This formula was just updated in December 2017 with a new tripeptide that fights sagging skin, an oat extract that provides an immediate smoothing and lifting effect, and a new MSM delivery system to boost its efficacy. How's that for exciting? This is one of our favorite products, and we're thrilled that it's now even better.
Our fortysomething founder swears by Firming Collagen Booster and has used it daily for the past two years. She doesn't expect to ever stop. It's that good.

Luzern Firming Collagen Booster

Exfoliating nighttime moisturizer / 1.7 oz
Elave's Sensitive Rejuvenating Night Treatment is designed to rejuvenate dull, tired-looking skin while you sleep. Glycolic acid at 8% strength exfoliates dead skin cells and reveals brighter skin, while an antioxidant blend of Coconut and Palm Glycerides with Vitamin E helps to repair signs of environmental damage. Like the other formulas from this wonderful Irish company — the top selling brand in Ireland for dry, sensitive skin — it's relatively simple and pragmatic, but it gets the job done without fragrance or other potential irritants. One of our top picks for men.

Elave Rejuvenating Night Treatment

Soothing sleep mask made from the highest quality silk available
When we asked sleep expert Tiffany Lester, MD for her top sleep tips, her number one suggestion was this: “Buy the best sleep mask you can afford. This will help block out disturbing light that can decrease your melatonin, the sleep hormone.” So of course we had to run out and find the best sleep mask we possibly could.
Luckily, our Australian friends at The Goodnight Co — makers of our favorite silk pillowcases in the world — had one at the ready. Made from 100% mulberry silk, this super-smooth sleep mask helps block out light while also helping delicate eye area skin retain its natural moisture. Major bonus: it won’t absorb your skin cream, either. (Or your makeup, if you committed the cardinal sin of sleeping in it.)
This sleep mask is naturally hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant, and it’s the perfect companion to The Goodnight Co.’s silk pillowcase.

The Goodnight Co Silk Sleep Mask

Lightweight & nourishing oil-based anti-aging serum / 1 oz
This oil is renowned in Sweden for its anti-aging effects as well as the remarkable softness that it imparts to skin; it won awards from InStyle and Sweden’s Tara magazine when it first launched, and it's been M Picaut’s star product ever since.
Unlike any other oil-based serum we’ve seen, it blends certified organic oils with high-powered peptides. Peptides (strongly recommended by expert dermatologist Dr. Jeannette Graf as a key part of any anti-aging skincare regimen) help boost elasticity, firm skin, and plump fine lines and wrinkles, while certified organic oils — including Vitamin A-rich apricot kernel, skin-identical jojoba, and anti-inflammatory sea buckthorn — provide skin with a readily absorbed boost of nutrients and moisture. We also love the fact that it doesn’t smell or feel like a typical oil: it’s much lighter and absorbs right away.
Precious Oil is an excellent treatment serum underneath your moisturizer during the cold winter months or when skin needs extra nourishment, but its non-oily, melt-into-skin texture allows for year-round use. And the bottle lasts forever.

M Picaut Precious Oil

Brightening solutions for sensitive skin, in the perfect set of full sizes / 1 kit
TWELVE Beauty’s Vitality Booster skincare set features some of our favorite products to brighten and restore skin's natural glow. TWELVE's creator, Dr. Pedro Catalá, designed this set himself as the perfect routine to restore vitality to all skin types — at a great value.
Vitality Booster set contains three full-size products:

Detoxifying day cream for Balanced & Combination skin types / 1.7 oz
BioRecept’s Bouclier Bio is an elegant daytime moisturizing cream that detoxifies and energizes balanced and combination skins, particularly those with sensitivity. Like all of the products in the BioRecept line, it seems to achieve the impossible: it makes skin feel nourished and protected, but able to “breathe.” Its deceptively simple set of key ingredients — aloe vera, jojoba, and shea butter — have been expertly formulated in a creamy, non-greasy blend that instantly gives skin a healthy, vibrant look. Another seemingly impossible feat? It’s a great makeup base *and* men love to wear it. Prepare for tussles over this jar of creamy goodness that is coming to you straight from Paris.

Biorecept Bouclier Bio

Radiance-boosting, wrinkle-smoothing, puffiness-reducing moisture serum / 1.7 oz
BioRecept Total Lift Eclat is a powerful one-stop-shop rejuvenating serum that promises the look of a healthy lifestyle and a good night’s sleep — and, given our experience as well as its astoundingly good consumer test results, it really delivers. Total Lift Eclat provides long-term anti-aging benefits (wrinkle smoothing, pore size reduction, and increased firmness) along with an immediate boost of radiance, hydration, and decreased puffiness around the eyes. The hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, non-greasy formula features two types of hyaluronic acid: long-chain for immediate plumping, and short-chain for a long-term boost in collagen and elastin for improved firmness and fewer lines. Mamaku extract and natural amino acids also provide a lifting, anti-wrinkle effect. This serum is designed to be used on the face (including eye area), neck, and chest. Prepare to be wowed: in month-long consumer tests with 20 women, 100% reported younger-looking skin, smaller-looking pores, significant anti-aging effects, and a healthy look.
Hot tip: The creator of BioRecept told us that NéoBio and Total Lift Eclat are her magic combination for women who are preparing for a wedding but are struggling with breakouts, because together, the combination is skin-perfecting magic. Total Lift Eclat pairs nicely with Hydra'Fluide, too. *Total Lift Eclat now comes with a dropper top.

Healing, multi-functional balm that replenishes skin's barrier / 1.7 oz
This preservative-free, fragrance-free, allergen-free cream is M Picaut's top seller in Sweden, thanks to rave reviews from beauty editors who proclaim that it's saved their skin. (Given the crazy winters endured by Swedes, we figured they'd know what they're doing where skin barrier repair is concerned.)
Designed as a non-toxic and natural version of Eight Hour Cream, Calming Cocoon Cream is a healing, multi-functional balm that helps replenish skin's natural protective barrier and boost elasticity with organic avocado and sunflower oils; wild yam; and cocoa butter. It calms and creates a loving cocoon for stressed, dry, and unbalanced skin. It's an absolute must-have for sensitive types and frequent flyers, as noted by Town & Country magazine. Before we officially had it on our shelves, our testers called us several times a month to find out when we'll get it in stock, which is always a good sign.
Slather it all over your face as a luxuriously healing treatment for dry, itchy, irritated, and overprocessed complexions, or apply it to particularly bothered areas.

Incredibly rich, rose-infused moisturizer for Dry skin / 1.7 oz
The Organic Pharmacy's Double Rose Ultra Cream is probably our thickest, richest moisturizing cream, suitable for those with very dry and dehydrated complexions. It boasts a high concentration of organic rose hip oil to deliver healing and elasticity-boosting essential fatty acids to the skin, and the finest rosewater helps soothe any areas of redness or sensitivity. This is an ideal treatment during winter months and ski vacations, as well as pre- or post-flight.

Breathable, comfortable face mask made from organic cotton canvas / 1 washable mask
(Main image shows two masks: Natural and Stone.)
Aplat masks are made from tightly woven, 10 oz, 100% organic duck cotton canvas for better filtration of microbials during everyday wear. Created by a career industrial designer and hand sewn in San Francisco, the unique, patent-pending, double-layered origami design provides an adjustable fit and comfortable breathability, making mask-wearing much more pleasant during a pandemic.
Our team can attest to the comfort of the Aplat masks when worn all day long, thanks to their roomy construction: the origami-inspired folds in the design create a center that protrudes away from the face like a beak, allowing for better breathability. There’s even room for you to add a disposable filter (folded paper towel or coffee filter in size 2, 3, or 4) if you’d like an extra layer of protection.
We also find that the Aplat mask stays secure around the face much more easily than most masks due to the adjustable cords that wrap around the head rather than behind the ears. (You know those thin cotton masks that so many of us end up repeatedly pushing back up over our noses? These not only provide better protection, but also let you keep your hands away from your mask.) These masks fit adults as well as teens.
And — very important for us in our quest to free you from the shackles of maskne — the cotton material is much kinder to the skin than the plastics that are so frequently used in other masks offering similar protection. Aplat’s commitment to zero-waste design goes above and beyond: all the materials used in the mask are 100% biodegradable and plastic free, and these masks stand up to repeated washing, drying, and ironing.
Finally, while we find the Aplat mask to be the best everyday mask we’ve used during the pandemic and would share it with you regardless, the fact that they’re made by a gifted industrial designer (and our founder's family friend) with a wonderful story makes it all the more delightful.
