Top picks for best face cleanser, moisturizer, facial scrub, facial SPF, tinted SPF, mask, retinol, and concealer.

Best Face Cleanser
TATCHA MATCHA CLEANSER
$40
Inspired by Japanese home remedies, this gel-to-foam cleanser is tailor-made for oily skin and designed to deep-clean skin and pores — and does that very well — without leaving it feeling tight or dry. In fact it’s so gentle you can use it every day.

Best Moisturizer
SISLEY SISLEYA L’INTEGRAL ANTI-AGE FRESH GEL CREAM
$640
Packed with more than 50 active ingredients (among them apple seeds!) that target everything from fine lines and wrinkles to dullness and fatigue, this hyper-luxe cream is still so lightweight it’s suitable for oily skin.

Best Facial Scrub
URSA MAJOR GREEN SLATE MINERAL POLISH
$48
The superfine particles in this scrub clear away dead skin cells and buildup to leave your skin brighter and more even-toned without shredding it like other exfoliates.

Best Facial SPF
SKINCEUTICALS CLEAR DAILY SOOTHING UV DEFENSE
$54
This lightweight sunscreen is non greasy on your skin and leaves behind no white cast, thanks to the mix of chemical and mineral screens, while also helping to reduce redness and hydrate skin so well you may be able to skip moisturizer.

Best Tinted SPF
ELTAMD UV DAILY DEEP TINT
$41
The subltle tint to this daily sunscreen helps it effortlessly blend into your skin without any hint of white film, and now it comes in a deeper shade appropriate for darker skin tones.

Best Mask
LA MER DEEP PURIFYING MASK
$170
Think of this as the fancy version of your clay mask. With a base of microfine stone particles that attract and remove impurities, which is then mixed with the brand’s moisturizing Miracle Broth, this mask deep-cleanses pores while still leaving your skin soft and hydrated.

Best Retinol
THE ORDINARY RETINAL 0.2% EMULSION SERUM
$15
Don’t let the tiny bottle fool you. This powerful serum pairs retinaldehyde, a potent antiaging retinoid, with synthetic oat analogs that help temper possible discomfort and irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin and retinol beginners.

Best Concealer
NUNORM QUICK COVER STICK
$40
This handy stick can be used as a spot concealer or under-eye product, or anywhere you need a little camouflage. The easy-to-apply stick has a hidden brush in the base to make blending a breeze (and unclockable).
