L.A. Christine No. 3 Berry Face Oil
This non-greasy, paraben-free face oil from L.A. Christine formulated using three of the world’s most powerful berries—lignonberry, açai berry and raspberry—packs a potent punch when it comes to softening, nourishing and soothing the skin. The anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties of the oil help reduce wrinkles and stretch marks (and can also be used on feet, body, hands and even hair). Scandinavian lignonberry can only be found in the wild, not farmed or cultivated, making it a prized superfruit that is utilized for its organic acids, provitamin A, vitamins B and C, calcium, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus. Açai is infused with omega fatty acids, minerals, vitamins and other anti-aging complexes, while the raspberry enhances the elasticity of the skin, shields the skin from the damaging effects of the sun while also reducing age spots. The silky oil absorbs quickly, penetrating deep into the under layers of the skin for added benefits. This product is also not tested on animals. $58

A few pumps and you’ll be on your way to balanced oil production, reduced irritation, oh, and a beautiful, radiant glow. $42

Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Dark Circle Corrector + Concealer
New from Physicians Formula, the unique dual-ended Youthful Wear Cosmeceutical Youth-Boosting Dark Circle Corrector + Concealer doubles the bang of this beauty essential. Made for those who suffer from dark under-eye circles, each of the stainless steel roller ball applicators increases circulation to the sensitive area (a lack of circulation causes those pesky circles in the first place) all while delivering a cooling, soothing effect, which also decreases puffiness. Both ends contain a highly blendable formula—the yellow end is meant for color-correcting while the flesh-toned hue can cover the yellow or can be used on its own to spot conceal problem areas. The creamy formulas are long-wearing (up to 12 hours) and are hypoallergenic, paraben free, gluten free, fragrance free and non-comedogenic, while also being infused with beneficial ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides for hydration and to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. $12.99
