Why you’ll love it: Proof that a hand treatment doesn’t have to be utilitarian, this formula is packed with the kind of skin-loving ingredients you’d normally find in a good face serum. There’s vitamin C, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid, to name a few, that help even out skin tone—fading brown spots on your hands—as they hydrate. Tons of oils (safflower, jojoba seed, lavender, rosemary, and more) make the blend extra moisturizing. “It’s an elegant hand treatment with face cream-worthy ingredients,” says Allure’s Elizabeth Siegel.
How you’ll use it: Keep the tube in your purse, or next to your sink, where it will sit pretty, so you can treat your hands after washing them.
Sephora Collection Super Glow Serum with Vitamin C + E
Why you’ll love it: It’s the time of year when skin needs a little more help in the hydration and radiance departments and that’s where this vitamin C and E serum comes in. The antioxidant duo is brilliant—literally, it helps brighten skin—and also coddles, protecting against free radicals while moisturizing. The namesake ingredient vitamin C is known for its ability to even out skin tone and create a glow and vitamin E is a unique antioxidant that also hydrates. “It’s lightweight, and layers well in your morning routine,” says Allure’s Annie Blay.
How you’ll use it: Smooth on the serum morning and/or night underneath a moisturizer, like the one from Grown Alchemist that’s also in the box. Both formulas layer beautifully for an effectively dewy, brightening routine.
