UV Solutions Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50
Daily sunscreen is nonnegotiable at any age, but Clinique’s UV Solutions Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 has a few extras that make it especially nice for mature skin: Sodium hyaluronate (a form of hyaluronic acid) and glycerin draw in moisture for a plumper, smoother look, while antioxidants like vitamin E, rice bran extract, and lychee seed extract defend against environmental stressors. And unlike some moisturizing sunscreens that can feel heavy under makeup, the fragrance-free chemical formula sinks in quickly: It “was an immediate standout for how seamless this sat under my primer,” says social director Kassidy Silva.

If you have dry skin and have sworn off foaming cleansers because they leave your complexion feeling stripped, First Aid Beauty’s Ultra Gentle Cream-to-Foam Cleanser might convince you to give them another shot. It starts off as a cushiony cream before gently bubbling into a soft foam that whisks away makeup, sunscreen, and grime, while glycerin hydrates and allantoin and aloe soothe, so skin feels clean and comfortable instead of squeaky.

Still convinced your eye cream is just your night cream moonlighting in a smaller bottle? Editor in chief Jessica Cruel was in the same boat until she met Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Eye Lift + Sculpt, a “souped-up” version of the brand’s iconic Advanced Night Repair serum customized for eyes. “It has a similar lightweight texture but has two types of hyaluronic acid to help plump the area instantly,” she says; there’s also the brand’s proprietary Night Peptide, barrier-supporting Bifida ferment, and caffeine to help soften the look of fine lines and puffiness. The silky formula is designed for all four eye zones—undereyes, lids, crow’s feet, and inner corners—so you can treat the whole area before bed.

If removing your makeup feels like more work than putting it on, you clearly haven’t met Elemis’ Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm yet. The buttery balm “melts into a silky oil that becomes a milky rinse and feels amazingly moisturizing—particularly for dry, mature skin,” New York City-based board-certified dermatologist Angela Lamb, MD, previously told Allure. Elderberry and starflower oils swoop in to leave extra-parched skin feeling nourished, cushiony, and dare we say baby-soft.
