The Most Innovative Beauty Products Out Now

Update your routine with these skin and hair care launches, which bring a cool new approach to everyday problems from dandruff to dull skin

Gentle Retinol Alternative

Retinol (a potent vitamin A derivative) is beloved by derms for its ability to soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles. The downside? It can leave skin red and irritated. Miranda Kerr‘s brand solved that problem with this certified organic formula, which uses bakuchiol and alfalfa extract that do that too—without the side effects.

Ingrown Hair Remedy

The next time you get an ingrown hair, apply one of these dots to the area. The (painless) microdarts deliver salicylic acid right into the bump to reduce inflammation and help it heal faster. Leave it on for at least six hours for best results.

This daily exfoliant packs a whopping seven acids, including four AHAs to improve texture and tone, a PHA to reduce redness, plus hyaluronic acid for hydration. The result: incredibly gorgeous skin!

Elevated Scalp Care

Yes, it’s a shampoo, but since your scalp is an extension of the skin on your face, experts say you should treat it with hair-care formulations that focus on scalp health. Enter Head & Shoulders’ new Bare collection, which tackles both dandruff and dry or oily scalp with just nine ingredients including plant-derived cleansers—and no silicones, sulfates or dyes. Bonus: You can roll up this recyclable bottle to get every last drop!

Slugging Mask

Slugging—aka applying an occlusive layer that’s often petrolatum-based on your face to lock in hydration—is that rare viral skin trend that has dermatologists’ stamp of approval. Face-mask brand Loops (Camila Mendes is creative director) replicated the technique using nourishing, antioxidant-rich oils.

Plant-Powered Moisturizer

Inspired by professional oxygen-enhancing treatments that boost circulation for an instant glow, this lightweight cream harnesses the power of plants that thrive in low-oxygen environments to help the skin better absorb and utilize oxygen for a firmer, plumper appearance.
