14 Dermatologist-Owned Skin-Care Products Our Editors Swear By

"No hate to the other night creams collecting dust and living rent-free in my medicine cabinet, but nothing has changed my skin the way Whitney Bowe's Bowe Glow Microbiome Nourishing Cream ($95) has. I've been using this cream before bed for about two months now, and I'm genuinely surprised at how healthy and glowy my skin looks when I wake up in the morning. The squalane, ceramide, hyaluronic acid, and prebiotic cocktail is to blame for my new baby-soft skin, but truth be told, Dr. Bowe could've put her own blood in this cream and I'd still recommend it to everyone who will listen. And before you cringe at the price, I've come to accept that it's technically more affordable than the other ceramide night cream — SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore — I love and still tear up about finishing." — Samantha Sasso, editor, branded content

"The Jori Acne and Oil Control Primer ($70) is perfect for people with oily, blemish-prone skin. One of the causes of a lot of my acne is oil production, and when I wear this primer, I notice a big difference in the feeling of 'greasiness' on my face when wearing makeup — so much so that I sometimes even just wear the primer by itself as a finishing touch to my skin-care routine. I really love that this is a true makeup and skin-care hybrid, which is why it's earned a permanent spot in my beauty cabinet." — Ariel Baker, assistant beauty editor

"NYC-based dermatologist Dr. Ellen Marmur is a brilliant doctor who splits her time between making people look and feel their best and fighting skin cancer — both surgically and charitably. She could tell me to put mayonnaise on my face and I'd do it, but fortunately, she created her own line of skin care and LED light devices. The MMRepose Serum ($85) is a does-it-all blend for tired skin (raises hand) with peptides and calming, hydrating ingredients that create a dewy, glass-skin effect. Basically, it's a visit to her office in a bottle, which makes it as brilliant as the doctor herself." — Dawn Davis, executive director, beauty

"My skin can have some really funky moments in the summer. I think it's a combo of all the sweat, oil, and occasional makeup creating a less-than-ideal environment for staying acne-free. I recently got my hands on the SLMD Acne System ($50), and I'm a believer. Founded by Dr. Sandra Lee — yup, Dr. Pimple Popper herself — the line includes a bunch of the ingredients that I reach for when my acne-prone skin starts to misbehave. I love how the cleanser is so lightweight, yet my skin feels clean when I'm done using it. And I appreciate how the moisturiser, which also has a barely there feel, doesn't make my face oily. I recently travelled from New York to Salt Lake City with the entire system (thank you, travel-friendly packageing), and it kept my skin looking and feeling healthy and breakout-free in 100-degree weather. I love it so much, I just got one for a friend." — Shalwah Evans, associate director, Beauty Magazine

"At-home peels and exfoliating masks can be a hit or a miss for me, but by far my favourite is the Lancer Skincare Caviar Lime Acid Peel ($97). Whenever my skin is looking dull, congested, or tired and needs a boost, I put this on for just 10 minutes, and it completely transforms my skin. It contains a blend of 10 percent glycolic acid, 10 percent phytic acid, and retinol to address a myriad of skin concerns, but don't let that potent concoction scare you away. Aside from a light tingling sensation, it's super gentle." — JH

"The Dr. Barbara Sturm The Better B Niacinimide Serum ($145) is worth every penny. The first night I used it, I swear my skin looked more radiant by the next morning. With continued use, my skin has become noticeably softer, smoother, and still more glowy, with more refined texture on areas such as my cheeks and forehead. The combination of antioxidant-rich, hydrating ingredients, including marine plankton extract, and vitamin B5 keeps my dry, sensitive skin soothed and moisturised." — Ariel Wodarcyk, editor, Makeup.com and Skincare.com
