About 30 minutes is all it takes to reap the benefits. Once the dead cells shed, skin gleams and glows.

Most Powerful At-Home Peel

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel ($88) 

A NewBeauty editor favorite, this at-home, five-acid peel packs a powerful punch and is the next best thing to Dr. Gross’s popular in-office peel. The two-step treatment leaves skin noticeably smoother, less red, more even in texture and with fewer breakouts. 

The Best Overall Face Brightener

SkinMedica Lytera Skin Brightening Complex ($130) 

A potent skin brightener in a bottle that’s said to be as effective as 4-percent hydroquinone, this dark spot–reducing cream floods skin with antioxidants and moisture for a complete skin transformation

The Souped-Up Styling Tool

Beachwaver Co. Beachwaver S1 ($129)

Celebrity hairstylist Sarah Potempa could definitely be one of the smartest women in the hair-care industry. She created this “does the work for you” curling iron that literally curls your hair with the touch of a button—next to no work is required on your part and you get perfect curls and waves

The Most Intense Skin Softener

Moroccanoil Dry Body Oil ($48) 

Full of good-for-your-skin ingredients, this oil makes dry legs, knees, elbows and feet feel supersoft. 

Dramatic Overnight Wrinkle Reducer

StriVectin Advanced Retinol Intensive Night Moisturizer ($112) 

One of the most powerful, yet nonirritating over-thecounter retinol products we tested, this one smooths and firms skin at night when it’s in reset mode. You’ll love how your skin looks when you wake up.

Strongest Skin Perfecting System

Obagi Medical Nu-Derm System ($453) 

This prescription-strength seven-step kit impressively resurfaces skin to eliminate rough texture, lines, wrinkles and unwanted pigment. Think of this as dramatic results in a box.

The Ultimate Anti-Aging Skin-Care System

Jan Marini Skin Care Management System ($300)

There’s a reason why this system wins year after year. It’s one of the most effective and powerful ways to ward off the most common signs of aging—lines, wrinkles and sun damage—and fast.

Cleanser You Can Really Feel Working

Epionce Lytic Gel Cleanser ($36)

A blend of willow bark extract and menthol makes this cleanser cool on contact, signaling that it’s removing dirt, oil and makeup. Perfect for oily and problematic skin, your face won’t feel dry or tight, just perfectly clean.

The Best Multitasking Laser

Clear + Brilliant

Kiss enlarged pores, dull skin and uneven tone good-bye. The more you get this laser treatment done, the better your skin will look

High-Tech Product For A Perfect Blowout

Living Proof Blowout ($24)

The next best thing to a professional blowout, this serious heat protector requires less work (with a brush) on your part. Your style will last just like it would if you had your hair done at the salon. 

The Best Noninvasive Fat Reducer

CoolSculpting 

We never thought we’d see the day when getting rid of fat could be done by freezing it away. In as little as two months, you can see a slimmer figure. 

Do-It-All Skin Resurfacer

PMD Personal Microderm Pro ($199) 

The best part about this DIY microdermabrasion tool is that you can customize the treatments to cater to exactly what your skin needs at the moment by switching out the exfoliating discs and controlling the speed.
