SkinCeuticals Gold Standard Holiday Kit

All skin types can benefit from this holiday kit that features a full-size bottle of the bestselling SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic, along with a half-size bottle of the moisturizing Hydrating B5 Gel in a gold travel bag. These products make the perfect gift for anyone who takes signs of aging seriously but doesn’t want to use retinol right away. Instead, they can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles with the patented vitamin C serum that improves firmness and brightens, while the hydrating gel restores radiance and locks in moisture.

Youth To The People Superfood Cleanser Refill Kit

One of the cardinal rules of skincare (next to wearing sunscreen daily), is to wash your face every day. All of the sweat, oil, makeup and skincare on your face doesn’t go away on its own, and you’ll want a gentle face wash that can handle it all. That’s where this cleanser set shines because you get a regular 8oz bottle of the Superfood Cleanser with an additional 16oz bottle to refill when you run out. This cleanser is formulated with kale, spinach and green tea to soothe skin as the rich gel lathers and washes all impurities away.

Kiehl's Richly Hydrating Hand Care Trio Gift Set

During the colder months, we always try to keep a hand cream on deck to prevent our hands from drying out. That’s where this Hydrating Hand Cream Holiday Gift Set comes into play. The best part of this set is that you get three different scents.

SkinCeuticals At Home Masking Gift Set

Pick up this ultimate masking gift set from SkinCeuticals to give your loved one (or yourself) some rest and relaxation this holiday season. Skincare and self-care are often talked about in the same sentence, but it’s important to remember that self-care isn’t all about the beauty products you use. It’s about taking the time for yourself in little ways and creating mindful activities. One way to do this is with one of the four included facial masks that you can apply to your face — and then do nothing as it works its magic on your skin. 

Youth To The People Youth Stacks Daily Skin Health

The cleanser and moisturizer combo in this Youth Stacks Daily Skin Health kit are must-have skincare staples that anyone could benefit from. Plus, the funky, aesthetically pleasing packaging is guaranteed to earn you cool points from your younger sibling, cousin or random relative who's always on TikTok.
