Best Moisturizer
Joanna Vargas Eden
Hydrating Pro Moisturizer
It's not just the pun we love about the Dezi Skin Claro Que C Serum ($64) — although it is pretty damn good — but we also dig the antioxidant-rich formula's ability to leave our skin looking more bouncy, even toned, and plumped like a juicy peach. Plus, the texture feels more like a cream than a serum, only with a lighter consistency, which makes
it intensely hydrating without
the sticky feeling.
If you're looking for a face cream you can use 365 days of the year — no matter how dry or oily (or both) you get — then get ready to fall in love with the Joanna Vargas Eden Hydrating Pro Moisturizer ($90). This jar of heaven gave our editors the skin of their dreams thanks to the lightweight, “pillowy” texture and ultrahydrating effects. It absorbs quickly and doesn't clog pores, so you don't have to wait long minutes to apply your sunscreen (because you should be applying sunscreen).
Best Eye Cream
Tata Harper Superkind
Bio-Barrier Eye Crème
If you're not one to indulge in fragranced products, then you'll be pleased to know the Tata Harper Superkind Bio-Barrier Eye Crème ($130) deviates from the botanical notes typically associated with the skin-care brand. Rest assured: it may be light and fragrance-free, but it's anything but basic. Loaded with hydrating plant ceramides and a proprietary algae complex, this formula will leave your undereye area calm, cool, and collected.
Best Face Mist
Joaquina Botánica Calendula + Peptides Hydrating Essence
Like pine-nut ice cream or a flash sale at Ulta, you don't want to miss out on the Joaquina Botánica Calendula + Peptides Hydrating Essence ($54). This facial mist smells like a bouquet of flowers sans the allergies, and just a few spritzes leave skin feeling refreshed and undeniably dewy thanks to its star ingredients: calendula, camu camu, and hyaluronic acid. It's no wonder it's often sold out.
Pro Pick
Skinergy Beauty Dark
Spot Correcting Cream
Aloisia Beauty Refresh
Purifying Cleanser
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's the Aloisia Beauty Refresh Purifying Cleanser ($38) that removes dirt, makeup, and sweat and leaves skin feeling baby soft. It's formulated with jade water, a high-alkaline water found deep within the mountains of Korea, as well as licorice root, sweet orange peel, and lotus flower to deliver gentle
but effective suds.

Latinas are more prone to developing dark spots after any type of inflammation in the skin. It's important to have safe lightening options to fight these dark spots off. This Skinergy Beauty Dark Spot Correcting Cream ($55) combats hyperpigmentation with a combination of kojic acid
and ferulic acid.”
