Tester feedback: “I’m not into astrology but if it’s one thing I know about being a Taurus is that I love little (or big) luxuries. (My bank account has no comment.) Jillian Dempsey’s Gold Bar is made out of 24-karat gold (!!!) so obviously I had to get my hands on it,” says Han. “I add a teensy bit of moisturizer before I glide it across my face—namely, from my jawline upwards towards my temples to debloat and help sculpt my nonexistent cheekbones, and from my jawline to underneath my chin. I also place it on my temples to melt away tension, too. So many uses!”
Material: 24K gold, aluminum, copper | Set includes: vibrating bar massager, storage bag | Who it’s for: all skin types
Best for Puffy Eyes: Dr. Idriss The Depuffer Roll-On Serum
Why it’s worth it: Unlike your average serum, Dr. Idriss The Depuffer Roll-On Serum has a built-in roller, which has the added bonus of cooling skin as you apply the formula. The serum itself is infused with niacinamide and Centella asiatica—which quell inflammation and dial down redness—as well as arnica and ash bark extract, which work together to bring down swelling. It’s easy to maneuver around the face, and even gets into the nooks and crannies around the eyes.
Tester feedback: “I wasn’t familiar with arnica until I tried Dr. Idriss’s The Depuffer—and fell in love with it. For those unfamiliar, arnica helps reduce swelling (among treating other conditions, like bruising and burns), which is a godsend for my perpetually puffy undereyes,” Han says. “I typically kick off my mornings with this roll-on serum—as you squeeze the tube, the product oozes out onto the metal applicator and you can go to town. It’s seamless, soothing, and obvious as to why it won a 2023 Best of Beauty Award for best soothing serum.”
Ingredients: niacinamide, arnica, Centella Asiatica | Set includes: N/A | Who it’s for: people with under-eye bags
Best LED Device: Medicube Age-R Booster Pro
Why it’s worth it: Medicube Age-R Booster Pro is “a great all-in-one device for someone who wants to incorporate LED light, sonic vibration, and microcurrent into their routine,” Susca says. The four modes include “MC,” which uses microcurrent to plump up fine lines and wrinkles, and “Derma-Shot” mode, which uses electrical muscle stimulation to tighten and sculpt, “Booster” mode, designed to enhance product absorption, and “Air-Shot” mode, which cleanses the pores. Dr. Hogan signs off on the product’s efficacy, since it ”utilizes vibration to simulate acupressure, which increases circulation and decreases puffiness of the face,” she says. It’s also customizable.
