The 11 Most Game-Changing Skincare Products We Tried in July
hen you test out a makeup product, it's instant gratification (or disappointment). Within seconds of application, you're able to tell immediately how well it does what it claims to do. And if it does the opposite, you can make a game-time decision about tossing. With skincare, however, things get a bit trickier. It can take up to 12 weeks to yield actual results from your skincare (or longer for brightening treatments). But sometimes those rare gems come along that you swear have made a difference in your complexion. And of all the products we've tried this month (there were a lot), these are the ones we found made our skin look noticeably better, brighter, clearer, and overall more radiant, and as a result, we'll continue using them well into the next season.
I discovered these glow-boosting pads in my bathroom during a recent trip with Glow Recipe to the Hamptons, and upon looking at the ingredients list, I knew that I'd have to try them. Long story short: They didn't disappoint. I was suffering from a weird breakout of small red bumps all along my face and used these pads (which promise to detoxify and purify the skin) before bed. When I woke up, I couldn't believe how much better my skin looked. The breakout wasn't 100% gone, but it was definitely way less noticeable. I've been using these pads a few times a week and love how glowy my skin looks. The ingredients are chock-full of antioxidants, natural botanicals, and brightening ingredients like licorice root—aka too good to pass up for the price.
