Sephora put a list of 20 products they recommend to solve your skincare problems. It’s obvious that not all of these will work for your skincare concerns, but it’s surely a great place to start and find a combination of brands and products that works best for your skin type.

1. Klein-Becker StriVectin-SD®: From a recent interview with Amber, a beauty consultant with Sephora, StriVectin-SD® is one of Sephora’s top selling anti-aging products because according to their clients this is one of the products that delivers the most effective results. StriVectin-SD® is a multi-action skin polisher enriched with Striadril (a key compound containing patented penta-peptides that significantly improve of your skin. Although originally created for stretch marks, this products has been known to deliver outstanding results for the face.

2. N.V. Perricone, M.D. Face Finishing Moisturizer: This antioxidant-packed facial moisturizer with vitamin C ester, and alpha-lipoic acid will deeply hydrate the driest and most dehydrated of skins.

3. Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Night 1 oz: This cream is concoction of six powerful wrinkle-relaxing and anti-aging highly concentrated, vitamins and skin moisturizers to help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.

4. Philosophy Booster Serum For Aging Skin: If you’re already using Philosophy’s Makeup Optional skincare regimen, you’ll want to consider this Booster Serum as a way to increase the your nocturnal cell rejuvenation process (aka use the light serum at night for more glowing skin)

5. Bliss An Ounce Of Prevention PM: This anti-aging night cream is designed for mature and wrinkled skin. Although fairly rich, the Bliss An Ounce Of Prevention PM cream absorbs deeply into the skin and help restore its vitality.

This is ideal for our younger readers who want to take charge of properly hydrating their skin.

8. L’Occitane Immortelle Very Precious Fluid SPF 40: Here’s another French skincare line that offers a lightweight fluid that helps fight wrinkles, loss of firmness, loss of radiance, and age spots. Although not 100% organic, L’Occitane Immortelle Very Precious Fluid SPF 40 does use organic immortelle (aka everlasting flower) essential oil it its formulation.

9. Shiseido Bio-Performance Advanced Super Revitalizer Cream: Don’t be fooled by how luxurious this Shiseido cream might appear. It’s still a lightweight formula that is highly concentrated to help somewhat repair environmental damaging (aka free-radical aggression) to your skin.

10. Caudalie Lifting Serum 1 oz: Caudalie is a French skincare product that offers a lifting serum for women wanting a firmer and tightener appearance to their skin.

For skin that lacks vitality, this gel-serum provides immediate smoothing and radiance along with deep regenerating and anti-wrinkle action. Not tested on animals.

11. Korres Olive And Rye Day Cream 1.35 oz: Korres is exclusive to Sephora (unless you live in NYC or Europe and have access to a Korres boutique). The combination of olive oil and rye is used to firm up and restructure mature skin. If you have combination skin, you might want to pop by a Sephora boutique and ask for a sample to make sure the Korres Olive and Rye Day Cream is not too rich for your skin.

12. REN Frankincense And Boswellia Serrata Revitalising Night Cream 1.7 oz: I have to admit that REN skincare is one of my favourite lines from the U.K. Although not an organic skincare line, REN is a natural line. There are no parabens or other chemical products used the formulation. REN’s Frankincense and Boswellia Serrata Revitalising Night Cream will deeply nourish your skin while you sleep and help relax expression lines.

13. Dr. Brandt Skincare Laser Lightening Serum 1 oz: Freckles might be quite adorable to some, but many women who have freckles don’t like them and try to conceal them behind makeup. Dr. Brandt’s Skincare Laser Lightening Serum is a serum with both a whitening property to help face away freckles and anti-aging ingredients to help restore suppleness to the skin.

14. Kinerase Cream with SPF 30 2.8 oz: This is the second Kinerase product on Sephora’s list. The Kinerase Cream with SPF 30 contains ingredients that help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, texture, tone, and blotchiness in sun damaged skin.

15. Skyn Iceland Stress Defense Cream With Biospheric Complex 1.7 oz: Skyn Iceland has a New Millennium approach to beauty. Since stress is one of the major causes of premature aging and so few of us can get away from it, Skyn had created an entire line to help deal with environmental or emotional stress. The Skyn Iceland Stress Defense Cream with Biospheric Complex reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles that can be brought on by stress.

16. Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Peel 3.3 oz: This is another skincare line that is a Sephora exclusive! This pumpkin peel (we’ll be taking further in future posts about the power of pumpkin as a powerful anti-aging ingredient) from Peter Thomas Roth detoxifies the face and neck from toxins by easily and gently dissolving dead surface skin cells. This is a deep exfoliator that stimulates cells and help with quicker cell rejvenation.

17. N.V. Perricone, M.D. Alpha Lipoic Acid Face Firming Activator: Dr. Perricone has two of his products features on Sephora’s top selling list and this one is the second one. Perricone Advanced Face Firming Activator helps decrease lines and wrinkles while reducing surface imperfections such as pores, scarring, discolorations and skin irregularities.

18. Fusion Beauty LiftFusion™ Face Lift: You can only buy Fusion Beauty on shopping channels and at Sephora. Fusion Beauty produces another one of Sephora’s top sellers: the lip plumping serum. They’ve recently put a LiftFusion™ Face Lift that’s been also a best sellers. This is a wrinkle-relaxant serum that will smooth out unsightly wrinkles and fines lines. It’s obvious this will not give you the same results as Botox® injections, but if you’re not yet ready for injections, then this might be a good product to test.

19. Klein-Becker Amatokin Emulsion For The Face: At $190, Klein-Becker Amatokin Emulsion For The Face is the most expensive product on Sephora’s list. This is the same company that produces the Klein-Becker StriVectin-SD®. The difference between the two products it the fact that the Amatokin Emulsion For The Face reduces fine lines and wrinkles, but it also contains ingredients to help lighten dark spots.

20. Cosmedicine MegaDose PM Skin Fortifying Serum: The last product on Sephora’s list is also a Sephora exclusive. The Cosmedicine MegaDose PM Skin Fortifying Serum is a super serum that contains multi-vitamins and nutrient-enriched ingredients and retinol. This combination helps skin’s natural overnight repair process and enhances collagen production.
