You probably visit your dermatologist once a year for your annual skin screening (and if you haven't been in a while, we urge you to make an appointment, stat—skin cancer is no joke). You may even hit up your derm from time to time if you're dealing with pesky pimples or irritating eczema that you just can't seem to treat on your own.

But dermatologists have a whole lot more knowledge to offer beyond skin conditions and diseases, including recommendations for the types of products and ingredients you should use to keep your skin happy, hydrated and glowing. That's why we asked five of the industry's top skin doctors for their favorite ways to spend $100 at Sephora. Keep reading for their picks for moisturizers, sunscreens, exfoliators and more.

"This is a fantastic, inexpensive toner. It will significantly improve your skin's texture and radiance. I love it for patients that are acne-prone, but because it contains glycolic acid, it is also a fantastic addition to an anti-aging regimen. It helps to melt away fine lines and wrinkles."

"This is fantastic sunscreen that is invisible on all skin types. It is lightweight, broad-spectrum and easy to use all year long. It contains avocado oil for hydration, meadowfoam seed oil to improve texture and red algae to block visible light from damaging the skin."
