Medicube Zero Pore Pads 2.0
Toner pads with a textured finish.
These Zero Pore Pads 2.0 are true to the name in that they may help minimize pores in the blink of an eye. For those seeking smoother skin, you’ve come to the right place. Each pad features an exfoliating textured side and a smooth side. The pads are soaked in a mixture of BHA and AHA, or in non-skincare speak, chemical exfoliants that gently help rid the skin of dirt and dead skin.
Soothing botanical extracts such as lavender essence also calm skin, helping reduce redness after exfoliating. After cleansing, you’ll want to use the exfoliating side, swiping gently over the skin, followed by the silky side. Finish by patting the product lightly into your skin. Medicube features a whole slew of toner products that target specific skin needs, including brightening dark spots and battling redness.
Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Brightening Gold Jelly Gel Mask
$15.22
$20.90
27% off
A brightening jelly mask made of kojic acid and tumeric.
Medicube’s Kojic Acid Turmeric Brightening Gold Jelly Gel Mask is not only luxurious, but can be nourishing as well. The jelly-like mask contains kojic acid, turmeric and niacinamide, a mix that works together to help boost your skin’s radiance, brightening the complexion for that dewy glass skin finish. You’ll know the mask is working because it changes color upon optimal absorption, from opaque to transparent. How cool is that?
This sheet mask is meant to be worn for a while — we’re talking up to three to four hours. To cut down on the absorption time, we recommend using this product as a final step in your nighttime skincare routine. Just slap it on before you hit the sheets, and you could wake up to the glassiest, most hydrated skin you’ve ever seen. Talk about beauty sleep.
Medicube Deep Vitamin C Golden Capsule Face Moisturizer
$16.90
$21.90
23% off
A facial moisturizer with Vitamin C capsules suspended in the formula.
This Deep Vitamin C Golden Capsule Face Moisturizer went viral on TikTok, and for good reason. The formula is jam-packed with nourishing ingredients to brighten, and features a unique popping boba-esque texture too. These vitamin C stabilized liposome capsules suspended in the formula work to visibly reduce the look of wrinkles and hyperpigmentation while boosting collagen.
You just pop the little skin-safe capsules on the back of your hand and mix it into the formula. If you want more vitamin C, you can scoop up more of the little capsules and mix them up to create a unique formula for your skincare needs. This formula moisturizes too, thanks to a mix of 50% sea buckthorn extract and 5% niacinamide. This popping capsule concept is available in two other Medicube formulas on Amazon, for hydration and spot treatment.

$18.90
10% off
A collagen face mask that is peel off.
Nobody wants dull skin. Medicube’s Collagen Overnight Wrapping Peel-Off Facial Mask Pack may help remedy it. The mask’s unique formula is peel-off, creating a film on the skin that hydrates for up to eight hours after use. You’ve got ceramide NP to help boost your skin barrier and hydration, collagen extract to enhance skin elasticity and adenosine to aid in reducing fine lines. Plus, the mask peels off satisfyingly in one piece for easy clean-up. There’s also a kojic acid and turmeric version available on Amazon for those looking to focus on brightening the skin.
Medicube Salmon DNA PDRN Pink Peptide Serum
$18.90
$21.80
13% off
A glowy pink peptide serum.
Kylie Jenner is a fan of this peptide serum. So much so that she shared this product as one of her many Medicube faves while shopping at Medicube’s Glowland pop-up in Los Angeles in March. The Jenner-approved pretty pink serum targets dull and dry skin, aiming to create a glassy look to the skin thanks to salmon DNA PDRN, a form of DNA extracted from salmon.
This strange but wonderful ingredient stimulates skin renewal and repair, giving your skin a clearer, more luminous look without much effort. Drop a few drips into the palm of your hands, rub them together and massage into the skin. We implore you: Do not put the applicator on your skin. You’ve likely seen influencers doing this, but just don’t. It’s unhygienic and introduces bacteria to the dropper. Yuck.
Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream
$19.98
$33.00
39% off
Collagen cream in a jelly formula.
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, included this jelly moisturizer on her recently launched ShopMy site. Retailing for $19.98, this funky cream features a jelly-like consistency and is imbued with collagen that promotes firmness and vibrancy. The jelly is also silicone-free, lightly scented and free of any skin irritants so our friends with skin sensitivities can use this product as well. When this cream is used, the end result can be bouncy and soft skin that’s tight and shiny.
Medicube Mini Booster Pro Pink
$78.99
$89.99
12% off
A skincare facial tool.
If you’re like us, you don’t have enough money to shell out on weekly facials. Medicube’s Mini Booster Pro Pink gives you a facial experience at home, and for cheap, too. Used by celebs such as Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Khloe Kardashian, this product is a beauty wand that is used to help enhance the absorption of your serums or moisturizers.
To use, apply skincare as usual and massage in with the device in a circular motion on Booster Mode. How does it work? Well, the device aims to help open up the skin, allowing deeper penetration of active ingredients in your skincare products so they’re able to penetrate and do what they need to do. There’s also an Air Shot mode that can be used on dry skin to eliminate bacteria and reduce enlarged oil glands.

Summer is officially here, which can only mean one thing: Time to break out the sunscreen.
To survive the summer sun, you need a good sunscreen handy to protect your skin from those harsh UV rays. Skin prep, especially during the summer, is extremely important. Sunscreen defends the skin from damage, preventing skin cancer, premature aging and, of course, fends off sunburn.
When picking a sunscreen, you’ll want to keep an eye out for the SPF level. 30 or higher will ensure that your skin is fully protected with each application. You’ll also want to take into consideration your skin type, skin tone and formula. For example, our sensitive-skin folks might want to opt for a mineral-based formula without any irritants — think sunscreens that are fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic.
With so many sunscreens on the market to choose from, why not trust some of your favorite celebs? We’ve compiled a list of seven unique celeb-used sunscreens for you to look through that might help narrow down your sunscreen search. We’re talking about top brands like Supergoop!, Kosas, Cerave and Drunk Elephant. Stick around: Your skin will thank you.
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50
A lightweight SPF 50 sunscreen in a tube.
Used by the likes of Sabrina Carpenter (in her “Espresso” video), Lady Gaga, Jessica Chastain and Christie Brinkley, Supergoop!’s Unseen Sunscreen is a dreamy lightweight unscented formula with a 100% invisible finish. This stuff blends into the skin seamlessly, meaning you can kiss white casts goodbye. It’s easy to see why celebrities gravitate toward this sunscreen.
Trending on Billboard
It’s pretty much got it all: The product boasts a broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection and is non-greasy and made with non-irritating ingredients. Additionally, the Unseen sunscreen is universally flattering on all skin types, even sensitive or acne-prone skin. Pro tip. Use this product to prep the skin before starting your makeup. The product leaves skin with a natural finish, and it blurs pores too.
Drunk Elephant Umbra Sheer Physical Daily Defense SPF 30
A SPF 30 sunscreen with clean ingredients in a tube.
Drunk Elephant’s Umbra Sheer Physical Daily Defense sunscreen is equipped with antioxidants and powerful SPF 30 protection. Used by Selena Gomez, the lightweight tinted formula features key ingredients like astaxanthin, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, and ubiquinone that all work together to help boost your skin’s free radical defenses.
It’s kind of like building a sturdy wall to keep the sun’s rays out. While most sunscreens are clear or leave a weird white cast, Drunk Elephant’s formula comes in three tinted finishes: Sheer, Cocoa and Tinte. Sheer leaves the skin with a pink hue, while Tinte is more golden. Finally, Cocoa leaves a healthy warm cocoa tint, leaving the skin looking healthy and bronzed every time.
Kosas DreamBeam Silicone-Free Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40
An SPF 40 sunscreen formulated with ceramides and peptides.
Hilary Duff and Hailey Bieber use Kosas’ DreamBeam Mineral Sunscreen. The formula is silicone-free and boasts an SPF of 40, leaving the skin super protected against the harshest of UV rays. This Kosas product is formulated with ceramides and peptides.
The special blend moisturizes, visibly smooths and brightens the skin, creating the perfect base to apply makeup. Also, the additional hyaluronic acid and allantoin combo boosts hydration, soothing the skin. The best part? The sunscreen practically melts into the skin, leaving no pilling or white cast. Skincare jargon aside. If it’s good enough for Bieber and Duff, it’s probably good enough for you too.
Bask Suncare SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray
$20.00
$24.00
17% off
A lightweight non-aerosol SPF 30 sunscreen.
This sunscreen is scented like a dreamy vacation with notes of coconut and vanilla. It’s also used by former teen heartthrob Justin Timberlake. Retailing for $20 on Amazon, Bask’s Suncare Sunscreen Spray is a non-aerosol SPF 30 sunscreen that’s fast-absorbing, lightweight and easy to apply. Just spray on, rub in and you’re ready to go. The dry down on this sunscreen is impressively fast, leaving your skin dry and non-greasy with every application. Additionally, Bask’s sunscreen is water and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes so you know you’re protected through dips at the beach, sweaty workouts and outdoor adventures.
Cerave Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen SPF 30
An SPF 30 skincare-infused sunscreen with a hydrating finish.
Zendaya and Busy Philips have worn Cerave’s Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen in the past, and it’s easy to see why. This SPF 30 formula works on the face and body and acts as a sheer hydrating lotion that moisturizes as well as protects. It’s a genius concept that makes a multi-step skincare routine obsolete.
The key to this sunscreen’s success is the combination of mineral and chemical sun filters that help effectively reflect and absorb the sun’s damaging rays. Something to note. This formula goes on white. Don’t be scared though. The white cast is there to guide you to an even application. After rubbing it into the skin, the white sheen is quickly absorbed within seconds, leaving the skin feeling non-greasy without any white residue.
Fenty Beauty Hydra Vizor SPF Moisturizer
A moisturizer with SPF 30 and niacinamide.
Dryness be gone. Meet Fenty Beauty’s Hydra Vizor SPF Moisturizer. Like the Cerave pick, this product combines sunscreen and moisturizer, delivering the benefits of both in one convenient product. The Hydra Vizor is true to its name, hydrating while acting as a shield against the sun’s rays and pollution. The SPF 30 moisturizer fades the look of dark spots and smooths pores too for a silky smooth finish on the skin. Of course, Rihanna loves this product. It’s her own creation, after all.
Murad Correct & Protect Serum SPF 45
An SPF 45 seum sunscreen in a dropper.
This sunscreen is a splurge at $69.00, but it’s well worth it. You know it’s good because Ciara uses it. Murad’s Correct & Protect Serum is an SPF 45 sunscreen unlike any other sunscreen you’ve come across. The satiny-smooth serum formula is one-of-a-kind, utilizing carotenoid technology that reflects UV light.
It’s watery, unlike most goopy sunscreens, and acts as a powerful antioxidant to brighten and reduce discoloration. This formula is created without a long list of irritants like parabens, sulfates, phthalates, gluten and animal-derived ingredients, making it safe on sensitive skin. To use, just shake the bottle and drop an ample amount into the palm of your hand. Rub into your face, neck and chest for best results.

OLEHENRIKSEN Violet Ice Cold Plunge Pore Mask is an all-around winner, cleansing and controlling acne all in one product. This mask is made of fluffy whipped clay made of three key ingredients kaolin + purple clay, salicylic acid and Danish purple willow ferment.
Trending on Billboard
The kaolin and purple clay extract and clear up dirt and grime, targeting pesky blackheads, while the salicylic acid keeps acne at bay. While it sounds fancy, the Danish purple willow ferment simply clarifies and cleanses, controlling surface oils for a clean skin feeling. We recommend slathering this mask on clean dry skin and letting it sit for around 15 minutes. Once it’s sat, rinse with warm water. Say hello to clear and clean skin every time.
Ilia The Base Face Milk Facial Essence + Lightweight Moisturizer
A milky moisturizer in a milky bottle.
Moisturizers are an extremely important step in your skincare routine. Even oily skin girls need to moisturize. It’s especially essential to add hydration back into your skin after cleansing. Ilia’s The Base Face Milk Facial Essence + Lightweight Moisturizer offers supple but lightweight hydration for daily use.
Dieux Forever Eye Mask Reusable 100% Silicone Patches
Under-eye patches for reducing the apperance of dark circles.
While some dark under-eye circles can be genetic, the condition can also be attributed to diet, lack of sleep and even underlying health conditions. Whatever the case may be, Dieux’s Forever Eye Mask Reusable 100% Silicone Patches can help combat those dark rings indefinitely. These under-eye patches are 100% reusable, made of durable silicone and promote plumping fine lines and boosting hydration.
Glossier Futuredew Oil Serum Hybrid
A oil and serum hybrid with a pink glow.
Ever wanted super glossy skin with little to no effort? Glossier Futuredew Oil Serum Hybrid offers an instant dewy glow that’s long-lasting. The product is made with four oils, jojoba, grape seed, evening primrose and rosehip oils that are suspended in an oil and water emulsion.
The combination makes the formula ultra-silky, leaving the skin hydrated and plush. Light-reflecting minerals are also jam-packed into the formula to leave a non-glittery sheen that works on all skin tones. Finally, plant-based sugarcane squalane locks in moisture, keeping the skin fresh and moisturized after use.

Hailey Bieber has a new skincare product for her beauty regimen. Its key ingredient? Snail mucin.
The model posted a TikTok in early May, sharing her morning with fans. Midway through the video, Bieber puts on South Korean skincare brand COSRX’s Advanced Snail Mucin mask. While all this might sound crazy, it’s not as far-fetched as you’d think. The two-piece face mask currently retails for $15 on Amazon, a small price to pay for helping obtain radiant glass-like skin. The product’s key ingredient, snail secretion filtrate — or mucin — derives from those little slow-moving shell-adorned creatures that seem to infest gardens every summer.
COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin Face Masks
Turns out, the slimy mucin they secrete may help with moisture retention, and could impart a glow to the skin. The COSRX mask features 87% of mucin, further beefed up with held from trusty niacinamide, an ingredient found in a majority of skincare products these days, and for good reason. Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that can help improve your skin barrier, reducing redness and the size of those pesky pores. You’ve also got collagen, providing firmness and potential added anti-aging benefits, along with hyaluronic acid, which may help fight off acne.

OK, enough skincare jargon. The bottom line? The product is a favorite for celebs such as Bieber because of its glow factor. Used ahead of makeup following your favorite toner, the mask may help prep the skin, protecting it from the elements. I mean, who doesn’t love a boost of moisture to their skin? Prepping your skin with masks like these prior to makeup use could ultimately allow your makeup to apply better because it has a proper base to work on.
Trending on Billboard
Like priming a canvas before painting over it, you need to prioritize what’s beneath before tackling what goes on top. Katie Holmes, Drew Barrymore, Emily Ratajkowski and Leighton Meester are just a few other notable figures who have shared they use snail mucin products in their everyday skincare routines. Weird or not, one thing’s for certain. Bieber’s skin has never looked better.

Just like McRae, we’ve personally been using the Hydro Boost moisturizer for years and it’s been a lifesaver for our sensitive skin, helping to restore balance and texture, while leaving a dewy (but not oily) complexion. Its small size makes it travel-friendly too, and the formula is great for using day and night. The 21-year-old McRae calls Neutrogena Hydro Boost her “must-have secret to juicy skin.”

“By featuring Tate and her infectious energy, alongside Dr. Shah, whose expertise helped to make him the most followed dermatologist on social media, we’re bridging the gap between beauty and science, creating a powerful message for the next generation,” says Andrew Stanleick, Kenvue’s President of Skin Health & Beauty in North America, Europe, Middle East, and Africa. “With Neutrogena Hydro Boost, we’re redefining hydration and showing how skincare can empower you to feel your best every day.”

d’alba Piedmont Italian White Truffle First Spray Serum
Using actual white truffle extract, the face spray helps to hydrate, brighten and smooth skin with just a few spritzes.
