In our final beauty products round-up of 2017, we have culled the best and most affordable finds for the holiday season — to use as gifts or to try out for yourself.

Nighttime use only. This unisex all-star is a deep resurfacing and repairing gel serum in a hygienic pump. Award-winning retinoid antioxidant boosters obliterate spots and hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles. Their Retinal complex includes Bakuchiol (a botanical Vitamin A substitute with no deleterious retinol effects) Free from parabens, sulfates, PEGS, TEA, DEA, mineral oils, petrochemicals, and artificial fragrance. Fantastic, and also a bit more pricey but use sparingly, worth the splurge!

Harvard-trained pathologist and dermatologist Dr. Mark Gray deeply understands the science of skin. As the founding Director of the largest provider of skin medical and surgical services in New Zealand, he’s spent the past 20 years listening to his patients struggle with the skincare world’s mixed messages: effective ingredients that are harmful; natural ingredients that don’t deliver results.

Armed with the belief that skincare is evolutionary, he explored breaking scientific advancements and societal trends towards globalism, environmentalism and rising ethical standards to find the ideal balance between health and efficacy.

"Skincare science needs to be on the very edge of social change and evolution in order to succeed."
