is here at last and, as a longtime beauty editor, I'm scouring the site for high-quality skin care at steep discounts — especially deals on I already use and love. What I'm looking for specifically are serums, exfoliators and, yes, creams, that contain ingredients — like retinol and vitamin C — that have been clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine (and not so fine!) lines. I'll also picking up versatile, tried-and-true classics like Vaseline and Micellar Water that are good for my skin and that I always want to have on hand.

For most of my life, I was a beauty-product skeptic. In fact, I washed my face with bar soap until I was 45.
I never moisturized because I thought lotions and potions were nonsense. But around my late 40s, as my skin began to age, I started looking for ways to soften wrinkles, lighten dark spots and make my complexion look brighter and plumper overall. And I started to see that consistent use of certain products with specific formulations did, in fact, improve the signs that I was no longer 25.
The items here are among my favorites — a few even.
