THEFACESHOP

1. Flebote White Crystal
The light, creamy formula of this popular skincare line targets both dark spots and wrinkles with white pine, a natural skin brightener, and saffron, to activate skin's metabolism and protect it from free radicals. Our pick: Effect Essence, a powerful serum packed with mulberry tree extract to stop skin pigmentation that can be used morning and night. $41.

2. CC Cream
Color control creams are all the rage now and for good reason, since they offer natural-looking coverage, a variety of skincare benefits and plenty of sun protection. Our pick: Smart Capsule, a white cream with SPF 40 that changes color when smoothed onto skin. Tip: mix a pea-sized amount into regular foundation for a flawless finish. $37.

3. Rice Water Bright
Little known fact: Asian cultures have been using rice water as skincare for centuries. Technology boosts this antioxidant-rich skincare line with natural anti-inflammatory and skin-protecting properties for a soft, dewy complexion. Our pick: Cleansing Light Oil, a gentle oil that cuts through even the most long-wearing, waterproof makeup, sunscreen and mascara. $15.

4. BB Cream
Like CC creams, beauty or blemish balms are known multi-taskers. So what's the difference? Turns out, CC creams have more refined skincare properties while BB creams offer a wider variety of targeted coverage (there are nine of them!). Our pick: Smart Digital, a collagen-packed cream that comes with a vibrating applicator to massage an even layer onto skin. Bonus: use the applicator to apply your favorite foundation. $49 for cream and applicator.

5. Real Nature Mask Sheets
These masks are like mini spa treatments – leave one on for 15 minutes then massage the remainder into skin. Choose from 15 types, like Kelp to detoxify inflamed or sensitive skin, Mung Bean for oily or blackhead-prone skin and Aloe for sunburns. Our pick: Pomegranate, rich in Vitamin B and minerals, leaves skin plump and radiant. $2 each.
