Some may want a few buzzy new skincare items to add to their routine while makeup enthusiasts might simply need a few good brush sets. If you’ve come to the conclusion that you have quite a few skincare-obsessed people on your list, look no further for gift inspiration. Below, we’ve rounded up *the* skincare gift sets of the season anyone on your list would love to get their hands on. Keep scrolling—good stuff ahead.
I personally use this bodycare set from Nécessaire and let me tell you, it doesn’t disappoint. It’s great for those days you want to create an at-home spa experience with the brand’s body serum, lotion, body wash, and gentle exfoliator. The entire set is sensitive skin–friendly and is rich in essential vitamins to help keep your skin soft, healthy, and moisturized for days. I’ll take one for myself and maybe a few for others.
Featuring an assortment of Glossier’s best sellers including the Milk Jelly Cleanser, Super Bounce Serum, and Futuredew, this set is guaranteed to make any skincare lover happy this holiday season. It’ll also give them a chance to test-drive a few winners from the brand if they haven’t given it a go yet.
I fully back E.l.f. products—they’re crazy affordable and are actually really good. The brand’s Jet Set Hydration Kit features TSA-approved sizes of the brand’s Daily Face Cleanser, Nourishing Night Cream, Daily Hydration Moisturizer, and Prep & Hydrate Balm. Ingredients in this set like shea butter, aloe vera, and jojoba oil lock hydration deep into the skin while cucumber extract calms redness and reduces puffiness.
For those still shopping around for their skincare musts, give them the gift of Dermstore’s Necessities Kit. It’s filled with an expertly curated assortment of fan favorites including Elemis’s dreamy Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, Sunday Riley’s highly rated Good Genes Serum, the Paula’s Choice’s C15 Super Booster which brightens and smooths the skin.
As you probably already know, we’re big fans of Drunk Elephant and its incredible formulas. The brand is known for its extremely potent vitamin C serum and luckily for the folks on your list, this set comes with a full size of it. As a bonus, this set allows you to top off your morning routine with the brand’s Protini Powerpeptide Serum, Protini Polypeptide Cream, and C-Tango Eye Cream.
Each of Youth to the People’s products is loaded with plant-based superfoods and antioxidants to brighten, firm, clear pores, and hydrate the skin. This set comes with six of the brand’s most-loved products including the Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser, Vitamin C + Clean Caffeine Energy Serum, and Yerba Mate Resurfacing Energy Facial.
Beat dry, dull winter skin with this these Farmacy minis. Honey Potion is one of my all-time favorite hydration masks. It seriously delivers with hydrating and calming ingredients like niacinamide and essential ceramides. Honeymoon Glow is also such a gentle resurfacing serum that gets the job done without irritation. To top this mini kit off, Green Clean is one of my most-used cleansing balms. It gets all my makeup off fast and never causes breakouts.
Tatcha’s Starter Ritual set contains (in my humble opinion) everything you must try from the brand if you haven’t had the pleasure of doing so yet. Together, these products help nourish and hydrate the skin with a moisture-retaining blend of Okinawa algae and hyaluronic acid. Your skin will be left dewy and with a stunning, natural glow.
Celebrity aesthetician Shani Darden is known for her incredible facials and highly effective skincare products. Give the gift of her cult-loved retinol this season along with her exfoliating serum and peptide-rich eye cream. This set is also limited edition, so you’ll want to snag one ASAP.
For any ultra-sensitive friends or family on your list, snag a few First Aid Beauty favorites for them. All of the brand’s products are hypoallergenic and it has a few offerings for skin conditions like KP. Those with dry skin will also love this particular set since it comes with a hydrating repair balm, gentle radiance-boosting pads, and a moisturizing facial cleanser.
Pacifica also offers a few vitamin C–rich favorites that won’t break the bank. Anyone dealing with dull skin will love this set with under-eye masks, a vitamin C face wash, and booster serum.
Good Molecules offers these daily essential skincare items at a great price. The brand’s Niacinamide Brightening Toner has reached cult status and luckily for you (or the folks on your list), it’s being offered in this set. To round out the essentials kit, we have the brand’s Hyaluronic Acid Serum, brightening eye gel, and Makeup Priming Moisturizer.
