Hydro Boost Water Gel by Neutrogena

This product was recommended by Sandra Blair from CoffeeShan

It is a brand that I have always trusted and it is also quite pocket-friendly. It has Hyaluronic acid as the main ingredient which moisturizes your skin without leading to the formation of excessive sebum. I have been using this for the last 2 years and I can assure you that this is the best moisturizer that is available in the market.

La Mer

This product was recommended by Bhawna Faujdar from The Curious Millennial

What’s So Special About This Brand – After a lab accident, scientist Max Huber sought to find an effective way of treating his burns. After testing various formulas he finally found success with La Mer’s signature sea kelp formula that has become one of the most iconic products in skincare and is loved by many famous celebrities. The line now offers serums, balms, and body care items all of which deliver impressive results for your skin!

Caldera + Lab The Good

This product was recommended by Jared Pobre from Caldera + Lab

Good skincare is as important for men as it is for women. A morning skincare routine helps prevent acne and wrinkles and helps protect your skin from the sun’s damaging UV rays. However, most men either don’t care or take the time to clean, tone, and rehydrate their skin. And, with so many product choices, creating a simple regime can seem complicated. At Caldera + Lab, we’ve developed a luxurious three-step skincare regimen to cleanse, moisturize, and nourish a man’s face. We use wild-harvested, non-GMO, and organic ingredients, including botanicals clinically proven to be the most potent varieties and 100% fair trade. The Clean Slate is our breakthrough pH-balanced cleanser that uses gentle plant-based cleansing. Designed for sensitive skin needs, The Clean Slate is made with biome-friendly probiotics, clarifying plant extracts, hydrating amino acids, and mineral-rich glacial ocean silt extracts. This lightweight yet invigorating cleanser leaves all skin types feeling sublimely refreshed. The Base Layer is a nutrient-dense nourishing day moisturizer with 360-degree defense against environmental stress, pollution, and blue light radiation powered by immune-boosting and botanical ingredients, plant stem cells, and soothing adaptogenic actives. The Base Layer delivers intense hydration and absorbs fast, without any shine, so that you can start your day confidently. The Good- said to be the Holy Grail of face serums- is a clinically proven, multi-functional, non-toxic formula of over 27 active botanicals meticulously infused over 4 weeks in an ECOCERT COSMOS-certified facility. It’s greentek self/care, born in nature, perfected through science.

Erb + Owens

This product was recommended by Sydney Gurry from Erb + Owens

Erb + Owens is a 100% vegan, sulfate free, gluten free, cruelty free, paragon free and natural skincare brand developed by Robin Erb, and esthetician located in Boston, MA. Robin’s business at her salon quickly grew by word of mouth of her amazing ability to treat any type of skin. However, for her this was not enough. Robin knew that even the BEST products available on the market didn’t live up to her standards. So, she decided to start developing her own using years of knowledge in the industry & research on the best possible ingredients for the skin. Obviously this took some time, but finally Robin curated the perfect line of serums, moisturizer, eye cream, night cream & even topical botox for any and everyones skin. This line of skincare meets the highest standards in not only quality, but Mother Nature approved ingredients as well. The best part? Anyone at any age & with any skin type will find that this brand seemingly magically will “cure” whatever skin issues they might be having. From wrinkles to rosacea & acne to texture, Erb + Owens products contain ingredients that balance the skin & naturally treat such issues. Unlike other skincare brands, this one provides the skin with proper nutrients to treat and heal itself, rather than adding in harmful ingredients that kill these issues (and damage skin in turn). This line includes ingredients throughout their products including avocado oil, lemon & orange, evening primrose, rosehip oil, HA, date seed extract, meadow foam oil, sea kelp coral, snap 8 (for her topical botox, Smooth Over!), sea buckthorn oil & borage oil. Plus, NO CRAP ever!

Healist Naturals

This product was recommended by Sarah Pirrie from Healist Naturals

At Healist, we offer a number of pr​oducts that would be great to be featured in your college essentials guide. For the body, our Extra Strength Body Relief Lotion contains soothing botanical oils as well as menthol, camphor and arnica. Perfect for after the gym or after a long day on your feet.

Botanical Republic

This product was recommended by Mallory Contreras from RAGDOLL PR

Botanical Republic is a Korean-American owned luxury skincare line made in Los Angeles that uses organic, natural and wildcrafted plant – based ingredients. They utilize a small batch process, so all use of synthetic preservatives and harmful chemicals is eliminated, meaning you get the freshest products possible, which is great news for your skin. Additionally, Botanical Republic is dedicated to leaving the environment better than they found it! Not only do they strictly use glass bottles and jars to prevent any contribution to the plastic waste that is all too common in the beauty industry, they also plant a tree through One Tree Planted for every item sold on their website. With Botanical Republic, your skin will love soaking in the purest botanical ingredients you can only get and your heart will feel happy knowing that you are contributing to a cleaner and healthier world!

La Prairie

This product was recommended by Gerard Roche from Gerard’s USA

The queen of high-end skin care is La Prairie without a doubt. I’ve tried many, many brands over the past 20 years I’ve been a skincare aficionado. I purchased their Skin Caviar cream a few years ago and never looked back. You receive exactly what you’re told: Skin Caviar. Not only does it make my skin feel silky smooth, it feels like it’s brought back that youthful glow from my teenage years. Immediately upon use, I felt my skin feel tighter and, somehow, lifted. It’s felt like the years prior that I’ve, unknowingly so, harmed my skin have been progressively alleviated and treated. Just as it’s helped my skin get back its glow, it brought back the jovial glow of my youth and made me feel like a teenager just starting in this world. And, that, is something no other product or brand can give a human being: a sense of self-actualization. Sure, we want to look at our best, but most importantly we want to feel like we deserve the best and feel at our best, and that’s where La Prairie delivers and why there is no luxury skincare company quite like La Praire.
