Best Facial Skin Care Products

There are countless skincare products on the market, and choosing one can be daunting. It gets especially confusing once you start reading the various claims made by manufacturers. Let beauty and industry experts do the hard decision-making for you after they test and select only the best products on the market.

Vichy Purete Thermale Calming Cleansing Solution

Regular cleansing helps keep your complexion clear and bright by removing dirt, oil, makeup and dead skin cells that build up in your pores and on the skin's surface. Vichy's face cleanser is one of the best for radiant skin, as recommended by "Real Simple" magazine's editors after they tested 111 other cleansers. It's formulated with mineral salts and contains no alcohol or drying soap ingredients. It also doesn't have any dyes, so it won't irritate even the most sensitive skin.

Renée Rouleau Vitamin C Eye Serum

The eyes are said to be the window to the soul. Take good care of your windows with an eye treatment product that can help target skin damage and dark circles. "Real Simple" magazine recommends Renee Rouleau's eye serum, saying its high vitamin C content can help improve collagen production and brighten the skin's tone. Additional ingredients include alpha hydroxy acids, which help exfoliate skin cells; and antioxidant-rich green tea.

DDF Retinol Energizing Moisturizer

DDF's moisturizer is one of the best facial creams on the market and has "exceptional" performance, according to skincare expert Paula Begoun. She praised its antioxidant content, which includes retinol—this vitamin A derivative is ideal for battling wrinkles, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center—and also liked its fatty acids, saying the facial cream goes "beyond merely moisturizing skin."

Neutrogena Age Shield Face Sunblock SPF 55

When the sun's light bombards your face, it causes damage that can lead to skin discolorations, fine lines and wrinkles. Stop this damage with Neutrogena's face sunblock, which Begoun tested and found to be one of the company's best sunblocks. She loved its broad spectrum protection, antioxidants, high SPF and that it wasn't excessively greasy in texture.
