Hero Brave Body Once-Over Toner
Body toners are abundant in skin-care aisles, but the Hero Brave Body Once-Over Toner has a leg up on its competitors with its exfoliating blend of glycolic and salicylic acids that targets body acne. You'll also find other fan-favorite skin-care ingredients like niacinamide and firming copper peptides in this toner. Simply spritz your whole body post-shower with its 360-degree spray nozzle (which can help you reach all those hard-to-reach places), and you're all set.

Dark spot serums have been popping up everywhere, but we're especially excited about Versed's Out of Sight Dark Spot Gel.

Reserveage Firming Neck Cream
Reserveage just launched its first foray into skin care, and we're already impressed. The line includes many basic hydrating essentials: a moisturizer, eye cream, hand and foot cream, and this refreshing neck moisturizer. Reserveage's Firming Neck Cream works to address sagging skin and reduce the look of fine lines on this delicate area. It does so with the help of its main ingredient copper peptide, which is known to help promote collagen production for firmer, plumper skin.

Omnilux Clear
Omnilux's latest addition to its roster of skin-care devices targets one skin concern in particular: acne. The Omnilux Clear LED face mask combines red and blue LED lights to help reduce blemishes, redness, and irritation. If you're in need of some acne control, wear this mask four times per week for 10 minutes, for six full weeks. Once the six weeks are done, simply put it back on when you start to notice a breakout pop up. It's one of the few masks that combines red and blue LED lights together at once, which is why we're especially excited for this launch.

The brand's first product, the PritiPolish, is a rice powder face that transforms into a rich, gentle exfoliator once you activate it with water.

Shaving can feel pretty tedious at times, so lighten things up with Pacific Shaving Company's #ShaveWithPurpose line.

Nooni Vita-C Radiance Powder
Now any of your skin-care products can contain the brightening and clarifying benefits of vitamin C, thanks to Nooni's Vita-C Radiance Powder. This powder, which also contains redness-reducing niacinamide and an exfoliating green tea enzyme blend, is meant to be sprinkled into your creams and serums for a customizable approach to your routine. Though this is a great addition to most of your skin-care products, the brand says to avoid using it with other actives like alpha hydroxy acids, benzoyl peroxide, and retinol to reduce your chances of irritation.

NIOD Copper Amino Isolate Serum 3 1:1
This is a new play on the Deciem brand's highly underrated CAIS2, and to be honest, we're quite impressed.

The NIOD Copper Amino Isolate Serum 3 1:1 (also known as CAIS3) requires one less bottle than its two-part predecessor, so be prepared to use that extra space in your beauty stash to stock up on other products on this list.
