Breakthrough skin treatments to try

Breakthroughs
Thanks to science and innovative thinking, these beauty blockbusters make looking great easier than ever.

31. Elizabeth Arden Prevage, a new serum to improve skin tone and the look of wrinkles and photo-damaged skin ($200).

32. Anti-hyper-pigmentation creams, such as Olay Definity Refining Lotion with UV Protection ($39.99), to reduce discolouration and increase luminosity.

33. Retinol, alphahydroxy acid and peptides, key anti-aging skin-care ingredients, to encourage the natural exfoliation process, minimize the look of wrinkles and enhance the complexion.

34. At-home derm kits for slightly higher-intensity skin resurfacing with gentle microdermabrasion and peels to soften fine lines and rev up skin's glow.

35. Pedicure tools, such as Revlon's Flexi-Buff Foot File ($14.95) and Sally Hansen's Side Cut Toenail Clip ($6.99), to make the home-pedi a much easier job.

36. Foundation, which is now a technologically advanced hero, from wrinkle-buster types to formulas such as Almay Smart Shade ($18.99) and Cover Girl TruBlend ($13.99), two that take the trial out of finding the right shade. Try the darkest TruBlend on the back of your pale hand to see what we mean.

37. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast, a soothing gel with Madecassoside, to heal skin irritations and cuts faster than the usual antibiotic cream ($18).

38. Moisturizers with a touch of self-tanner for face and body, for vacation-like colour sans streaks or damage. We love Olay Body Touch of Sun ($9.99).

39. Salicylic acid and benzoil peroxide, proven acne fighters, to keep uncomplicated breakouts in check and send spots packing.

40. Cargo Cosmetics' award-winning packaging: ColorCards, eye shadow embossed on a thin, flat card ($28 per tin of 28), and DailyGloss, a 30-day supply of lip gloss in tear-off blister packs ($12). Bonus kudos for Plant Love, the company's brilliant botanical lipstick in entirely biodegradable packaging, including the corn-based polymer tube ($20).
