It's not easy to stage a comeback. But witch hazel has pulled it off in recent years. The astringent ingredient—which is great for declogging pores to help them look smaller—is being paired with soothing ingredients in new formulas that tone without the sting. Skin&Co Truffle Therapy Toner is a great example. It mixes the purifying, redness-reducing superstar that is witch hazel with cucumber and antioxidant rosemary for a formula that helps keep skin calm and pores clear.

It's easy to see why Innisfree Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Cream is a K-Beauty favorite. It pulls off a balancing act, feeling light on skin but hydrating all day. Its namesake ingredients, hyaluronic acid and antioxidant green tea, help keep skin moisturized, glowing, and happy. It's a refreshing formula to reach for when your skin is parched, and it feels great on even hot summer days, when richer creams can feel sticky.

We usually dip our brush into one or two shades in a palette, but the five options in Beauty For Certain Playa to Palazzo Eyeshadow Palette are all supremely wearable. “I rarely find a shadow palette without a single no-go for my über-natural makeup tastes. But looky here! Beige for brightening, two browns for shading and lining, and a shimmery gold to bring a little sparkle to my eyes... this time I'll be hitting the pan, times five,” says Allure’s Jenny Bailly.

YSL Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick comes in an eye-catching tube that I look forward to pulling out of my bag, but like they say, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. And the reason I reach for Candy Glaze is because inside there’s a gorgeously pigmented neutral color with a jelly-inspired texture that adds up to a super pretty shine and expensive-looking color on lips.

This leave-in turns my most meh hair days into great ones: I smooth Sachajuan Styling Cream through my hair when it’s damp and then air-dry, and my so-so waves have new life. You can use it to define waves and curls, protect against damage from hot tools, and add a ton of shine without making hair feeling sticky. And all that makes it a versatile styling cream for getting polished looks—with minimal effort, my kind of product!—on straight, wavy, or curly hair.
