Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare

An avid skin cancer researcher and in-demand dermatologist himself, many of Dr. Gross’ multitasking beauty products are aimed at — you guessed it — protecting your skin and reversing the signs of sun damage. Of course, there are a variety of scientific treatments for clearing up acne too. The product we can’t wait to get our hands on, however, is the Alpha Beta Daily Glow Moisture ($42). Within one to three hours of putting it on, 85.2 percent of people in an independent study agreed that their skin had a natural glow and no longer looked dull or sallow. Plus, it contains active vitamin D and anti-aging and hydration benefits. Now, how’s that for results? Um, amazing!

Dr. Brandt Skincare

Some beauty brands are ahead of the curve, and celebrity dermatologist Dr. Fredric Brandt is definitely leading the way! His skin care products, described as a potent combination of science meets active eastern botanicals with ingredients like green tea, white tea and grapeseed extract, are formulated to deliver, as closely as possible anyway, the benefits you’d reap from an in-office procedure. Currently, we’re obsessing over the Collagen Booster ($78). Not only does this serum improve your skin’s overall elasticity and resilience, but it also encourages and stimulates collagen production, giving you, our friends, a younger-looking face.
