LYMA Laser PRO

$5995

We’ve been big fans of LYMA’s original laser since its launch in 2020, along with A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow and Sofia Richie, but LYMA PRO Laser offers three times the power and a larger lens. It’s easier than ever to tackle wrinkles, sagging and pigmentation at home.

DERMAFLASH LUXE+

$199

An at-home facial favorite, DERMAFLASH LUXE+ removes peach fuzz and dead skin cells for instantly smoother, brighter skin. Plus, the brand reports improved product absorption after just one use.
