Are you looking for a skincare gift that will “wow” the lucky recipient? Or, are you looking for an awesome skincare item to gift to yourself? Come on now, you’ve worked hard all year, and with the stress of the holiday season, you KNOW you deserve it!
Have you ever been lucky enough to find that Holy Grail item you’ve been searching for? With so many great skincare products on the market today, it can be confusing to figure out which ones have merit and are backed by solid research. So, we decided to make it easy, and tell you about our current faves.
BIONOVA
Ahhh, the pioneers of nanotechnology in skincare have brought cutting-edge products into the skincare market. Bionova’s products have different levels of customization, ranging from gender and skin-type all the way to 100% fully-customized formulas. With the N1-Custom line, there is only a one in 60 million chance that another person will have the same formula as you! You can read about the N1-Custom products here, here, and here, which are available directly from Bionova.
Bionova also has the Impact line (available at Barney’s) which is customized by gender, age, and skin condition. The Bio 1 Act line consists of bioactive cleansers, masks, and activators to complement the core creams. There is also a Sport line which consists of skincare products for active people.
If you don’t want to take the full plunge, and you would like to “test the waters,” Bionova has just created the BN Science line exclusively for Dermstore.com. This line has the same high-quality HyperNatural ingredients as their other lines, but it’s offered at a lower price. You can even get trial kits for as low as $51 for the whole regimen- they are also perfect for gift-giving! You can read about the BN Science Anti-Stress Care with UV Chromophores here.
RADICAL SKINCARE
I was first introduced to this line when Missy at Bossier City’s Sephora Inside JCP was super-duper excited about a mask; and she told me I just had to get it. The mask was Radical’s Instant Revitalizing Mask (you can read about it here), which I just love. I even made my other half try it out- while he was “weirded out” by the fizziness (I LOVE it), he was intrigued enough by the ingredients, that Radical soon became his favorite line.
If you want to try any of Radical Skincare’s products for yourself, I suggest the Instant Revitalizing Mask, Reviving Eye Crème, Exfoliating Pads, and Radical Perfection Fluid. You can get the mask, eye cream, and pads at Sephora, and the Radical Perfection Fluid is available at Barney’s and directly from Radical Skincare.

If you’d like to give a perfectly festive gift, without spending a lot of money, the $38 Radical Skincare Holiday Cracker contains several travel-sized products, and is available at Dermstore.com and directly from Radical Skincare.
FOREO
Have you ever wanted to try one of the high-end cleansing devices on the market? It can be confusing as to which device is the best, and the good ones can be pretty expensive. The Foreo Luna Mini fits in the palm of your hand, rarely needs charging, and is competitively priced.
I recently made the switch from using a Clarisonic Mia 2 to using the Foreo Luna Mini. While the Clarisonic is a fabulous product, when I started using Bionova, they advised against harsh exfoliation when using their products. The Foreo Luna Mini is a soft, silicone device that does not contain harsh bristles. (More information here.)

Foreo Luna Mini vs. Clarisonic Mia 2
I ordered the Radical eye cream a couple days ago and I am so eager to get it in and try it!
Hi Lindsey! I’m so excited for you to try it- I know you’ll love it! 🙂
I ordered the Perfecting Fluid after reading the reviews and I really like it. I’m looking for a new cleanser, and was wondering if you tried the Radical cleanser? Does it work well with a Clarisonic?
Hi Janice! I’m super happy you ordered it- isn’t it fabulous?!?!? Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to try the cleanser, hopefully I will be able to soon. However, I have heard great things about it- and I think it would work very well with a Clarisonic! 🙂
Greetings! Very useful advice within this post! It is the little
