MZ Skin Cleanse & Clarify Dual Action AHA Cleanser & Mask ($92)

Created by: London oculoplastic surgeon, Maryam Zamani, MD

One of the most unique products around, this multitasking cream acts as both a brightening mask and a daily cleanser. The formula is blended with alpha hydroxy acids and fruit enzymes that slough off dead skin, brighten the complexion and provides a deep cleansing and exfoliation. While the formula is nourishing enough to use every evening as a quick daily cleanser (it’s great at removing makeup), the most beautiful results come from applying it as a mask a few times a week and letting the product sit on the skin for five minutes before washing off.

111Skin CO2 Crystallising Energy Mask ($215)

Created by: London plastic surgeon, Yannis Alexandrines, MD 

There’s an unexpected technology in this complexion-perfection mask: carbon dioxide. The product uses two components to create carbonic acid, which drives active ingredients and CO2 deep into the skin, causing a reaction that produces nourishing oxygen. As the mask dries, it creates a protective barrier that seals in ingredients, allowing it to work on the skin. As a bonus, once the 40-minute treatment is complete, the crystallized mask is so satisfying to peel off.
