2) Skin Soother: Check out Tula, a new skin-care line developedby Roshini Raj, a New York gastroenterologist. Each product contains peptides, antioxidants, and probiotics (yes, the same kind found in your yogurt parfait) to combat sensitive-skin issues like acne and balance inflammation and redness.

3) Easy Exfoliator: Sephora Collection’s Express Cleansing & Exfoliating Wipes ($9) do double duty: The smooth side acts as a makeup remover and a face wash, while the textured side has microbeads that gently slough off dead skin. Splash some water on your face and you’ve just completed a three-step skin regimen in seconds.

4) Dark-Circle Eraser: Did you know that shadows under your eyes can be more aging than lines and wrinkles? Consider creams and serums that contain brightening extracts like licorice and algae. We like Colbert MD’s new eye serum, which also tightens skin and reduces puffiness.

5) Line Filler: The one ingredient everyone can benefit from? Hyaluronic acid, a time-tested moisture binder that smooths wrinkles. L’Oréal Paris’s new applicator delivers a precise dose.

9) The New Face Oils: If you haven’t incorporated a face oil into your routine, start now. “Many women assume that oils will clog pores, trigger breakouts, and accelerate oil production, but that’s not true,” says Elizabeth Hale, a New York dermatologist. In reality, an oil can increase luminosity and even fade dark spots.
