The Best Skincare Products to Cure Your End-of-Summer Blues — Once and For All

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

If the thought of Summer's end makes you want to soft sob into your pillow at night (or ask Alexa to queue up "Wake Me Up When September Ends" . . . again), ugh, same. But there's plenty to get excited about this September: orange leaves, seasonal coffee, and a swarm of skincare products to help you forget all about school or the sudden lack of Summer Fridays.

Yes, it's true: this month alone, there are dozens of face creams, cleansers, and treatments launching that are probably, maybe formulated to turn that frown right upside down. To help you land on the right mood-boosting formula for you, we've asked our trusted team of beauty editors to share the only skincare products you need] right now. Until then, maybe lay off the Green Day and kohl eyeliner.

Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask

"Giving me a retinol product is like giving a kid an ice cream cone — my eyes widen almost instantly, and I'm practically counting down the seconds before I can devour it. I also know that any time I try a new formula, and because the way the vitamin A derivative works, I'm more than likely to experience a little dryness in the beginning of use. Not the case with the Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask ($42) — nestled comfortably between encapsulated retinol lay a mix of hydrating avocado oil and avocado extract (both rich in vitamin E), plus hyaluronic acid, to coddle the skin and keep it feeling baby smooth." — Kelsey Castañon, senior beauty editor

EVE LOM Cleansing Oil Capsules

"Individually packaged cleansing oil capsules — genius! One of my biggest qualms with travelling is not being able to pack all of my skin-care products — and this EVE LOM Cleansing Oil Capsules ($75) solves that problem. The tiny capsules contain one perfect-size dose of cleansing oil to melt away makeup and dirt from my complexion. They take up practically no space in my bag and my favourite part: the capsules are vegetable-based and 100% biodegradable." — Jessica Harrington, assistant editor, Makeup.com

Aveeno Baby Sensitive All Over Wipes

"As someone who's about to have a child, my baby wipe stash is currently far more extensive than my face wipe stash. And that's exactly why these new Aveeno Baby Sensitive All Over Wipes ($11) are my obsession: because I really can use them all over. They may not have been created to remove makeup or sub in for cleanser in a pinch, but they sure do get the job done. And I know pretty soon I'm going to appreciate multi-tasking products more than ever." — Dawn Davis, senior editorial director

C&C by Clean & Clear Chill Out Cooling Mint Pore Facial Cleanser

"I'm not proud of myself for this, but between deadlines and birthdays this month I have managed to sleep in my makeup more than I'd like to admit. It's horrible for your skin (like, really bad) and for me, was only made better by using the C&C by Clean & Clear Chill Out Cooling Mint Pore Facial Cleanser ($12) in the morning. The cooling gel lifts gunk out from pores and whisks away any bad decisions, so much so that I haven't had a skin freak-out. . . yet." – KC

Belif Youth Creator Age Knockdown Bomb

"Losing my bottle of the Belif Youth Creator Age Knockdown Bomb ($65) caused a fight between my partner and me. I had just begun falling in love with how it restored my skin's radiance and made it feel plump and bouncy with moisture, with just the very first application. (It contains cedrol and a flower called winter aster to do that.) One night, I showed it to my partner, who then said he loved how firm it made his skin feel . . . and that was the last time I saw the bottle. He swears he doesn't have it, and I guess believe him (for the most part)." - Jesa Marie Calaor, assistant beauty editor

Mary Kay Naturally Moisturising Stick

I've been loving the Mary Kay Naturally Moisturising Stick ($28) as a all-in-one solution to my dry skin woes. I've been swiping it around my nostrils, on my cuticles, and on any other flaky areas to soothe them with candelilla wax and beeswax. Plus, the small size makes it easy to throw in my purse and use on the go." — Sarah Siegel, assistant editor, Beauty

Tula Super Calm Gentle Milk Cleanser

"As a huge fan of the original Tula Purifying Cleanser, I was very game to try the brand's sensitive skin, milky version. The lightweight Tula Super Calm Gentle Milk Cleanser ($34) leaves my skin feeling clean and soothed without that tight feeling that harsher cleansers leave behind. When the temperatures outside start to cool down and my skin dries out, I'm going to be reaching for this option every day." — JH

RéVive Masque de Radiance Brightening Moisture Mask

"If you want a face mask that's fun for the 'gram (and, let's face it, who doesn't these days?), look no further. RéVive Masque de Radiance Brightening Moisture Mask ($150) is so shiny it's practically holographic, and it transitions from pearl to gold before your very eyes. It's also packed with vitamin C and tons of hydrators to simultaneously brighten and moisturise the skin — so your "after" selfie will be as good as the mask shot itself." — DD

Dove Shower Foam Relaxing Lavender Body Wash

"I've always been more of a morning shower-er, mostly because I wake up feeling like a zombie and need that splash of water to get me moving, but the Dove Shower Foam Relaxing Lavender Body Wash ($6) is making a strong case for the nighttime suds. It delivers the same skin-softening benefits and lather as its other foam cleansers, but the subtle lavender scent fills the bathroom with a sense of calm that nearly lulls you to sleep." - KC

Dermalogica Phyto-Nature Firming Serum

"The Dermalogica Phyto-Nature Firming Serum ($145) is instant gratification with long-term results. The two-part liquid is housed separately in the bottle and pump out together to mix in your hands. Together, it gives my face an instant lifting effect thanks to the hyaluronic acid and caffeine in the formula and will firm my skin over time with the combination of peptides, vitamin c, and rockrose extract, which helps to neutralise free radicals that can harm the skin. It's comforting to know I'm protecting my skin from environmental aggressors while I'm living in over-polluted New York City."

Corpus x True Botanicals Neroli Deodourant

"For better or for (smelling) worse, I consider myself a natural deodourant connoisseur. And let me tell you, Corpus x True Botanicals Neroli Deodourant ($22) is something special. Not only does it work well, it glides on like one of those fancy deodourants that sometimes accompany perfumes, it hydrates, it smells luxurious, the tube is incredibly chic, and the ingredients are clean. It's the most glamorous natural deodourant I've ever tried, and I'm already dreading the day I run out." — DD

Savor Beauty Cherry Collagen Peel

"My love for Savor Beauty's natural Korean-inspired skin-care products is well documented. You've already heard me rave about its Yuzu Lemonade Peel, and now I have a new Savor Beauty product to add to my collection: the Savor Beauty Cherry Collagen Peel ($80). It's a light peel that uses pineapple and papaya fruit extracts to gently exfoliate, while cherry juice provides antioxidant products and pea peptides help kick my collagen production up a notch. I like to use this one when my skin is feeling especially sensitive because it seems less harsh than hydroxy acid-based peels but still gives me plump, juicy-looking skin." — Lindsey Unterberger, content director, Makeup.com and Skincare.com

Dry Spray Go Fresh Antiperspirant Deodourant Apple and White Tea

"Dove antiperspirants have had a place in my beauty routine since I hit puberty (and I started really needing the stuff), and the brand's Dry Spray Go Fresh Antiperspirant Deodourant Apple and White Tea ($6) is my favourite yet. Removing the bright red cap dispenses a blast of a lightweight cream that melts into skin and never leaves marks on clothing. It has me feeling refreshed the same way a Snapple Apple on a hot Summer day would, while smelling like one too." — JMC

The Body Shop Tea Tree Anti-Imperfection Peel-Off Mask

"I'll be completely honest, I have no idea if I'm using the The Body Shop Tea Tree Anti-Imperfection Peel-Off Mask ($6) the right way, but I do know that the cute cup and powder mixture (which activates with water) makes me feel like a mixologist in my own bathroom. The fact that it's packed with its fan-favourite tea tree formulation is just an added bonus." - KC

Miss Bud's CBD Hemp Extract Nighttime Nourishing Cream

"I have a love-hate relationship with CBD in skincare because I think there's a lot of misinformation out there about what it can and can't do. This CBD Hemp Extract Nighttime Nourishing Cream ($20) from Uncle Bud's sister brand Miss Bud's, however, is the real deal. Its 60mg of pure CBD oil is a strong percentage of the active ingredient— which has been shown to reduce inflammation and potentially fight acne. I love it because unlike most night creams, this one doesn't feel heavy or leave my skin feeling greasy. I never worry that it'll get my pillowcase all sticky, and I still wake up with super-hydrated, calm skin. Plus, the price point can't be beat." — LU
