Why it's great: With eight different masks for various concerns, such as brightening, hydrating and anti-aging, it's not hard to see why Sephora-goers are stocking up on these face masks (and the seriously affordable price point doesn't hurt either). According to Sephora reviews, the masks help to "mattify skin and reduce breakouts" while simultaneously "firming and hydrating skin." In fact, one Sephora junkie says, "the best part is the next morning when I looked in the mirror (after using the mask), I noticed that my skin was almost entirely clear except for some barely noticeable (easily covered) red marks where the pimples had been. I am incredibly impressed."
Why it's great: "Nothing has improved my skin like Luna," explains one Sephora-goer. "After a month of using it, my hyperpigmentation is gone, my breakout are few and far between, and my skin is so hydrated." Other reviewers agree, saying, "it clears blackheads and minimizes pores over night" and "plumps skin" to smooth fine lines. By the sounds of it, one reviewer about sums it up: "It's a holy-grail product."
Why it's great: Do you break out? Get black- and whiteheads? Razor bumps? Discoloration? In-grown hairs? Do you have about ten different products in your bathroom for each of those issues? Users say this mask fights all your skin problems by drawing out dirt and congestion -- making it an absolute must-have for skin-care junkies. "This is definitely my go-to face mask," one Sephora-goer says. "Every time I use it, my face feels and looks so clear and smooth. It does it all: it clears, it tones and it cleanses. The mask is a little pricey, but to me it's worth it."
Why it's great: Combining vitamin E, green tea extract and a five-source vitamin C complex, this serum is an antioxidant-rich powerhouse that helps to fight the signs of aging (those fine lines and uneven complexion). This Sephora best-seller is "lightweight and not greasy on the skin" according to consumers, and they can feel it "tightening the skin instantly." Others say it's great for brightening and evening your complexion, especially if you have acne scars -- and "is totally worth the money invested."
Why it's great: While this Sephora buy is a bit on the spendy side for a cleanser, there's a reason over 50,000 people love this product. "I've tried several cleansers and I keep coming back to this one," says one TotalBeauty reader. "I notice a significant improvement in my skin when I use this. My skin tone becomes more even and I break out a lot less." Other users agree, saying the cleanser wipes their skin of any impurities and makeup, and leaves their skin "feeling clean and silky." The Sephora gem is also free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates. so if you're thinking about hoping on this cleanser's bandwagon, you can feel extra good about what you're putting on your face.
