The Best of the Best in Skincare for Fall 2014

And the award goes to...the best retinol treatments, serums and moisturizers

From the LifeMinute Team

September 25, 2014

Skincare...we can't let it slide, but who has time to sift through the thousands of products out there? Not you. So what's a girl to do? Rely on the research -- that's where the team of beauty experts at Beautypedia.com comes in. Research and Content Director Bryan Barron says it's all about helping out, not hyping up, when selecting their Best of the Best, basing their Fall 2014 picks on published scientific research and ingredients in the products that we all shop for to look and feel better.

Skin can't revive on retinol alone

Retinol is a brilliant anti-aging ingredient for all skin types -- agreed. But Bryan says, "We never recommend products that contain just one great ingredient; it has to be a mix." And in the award-winning mix for their mixes this season are Paula's Choice Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment ($55), Jan Marini Age Intervention Retinol Plus ($70), and BeautiControl's Regeneration Overnight Retinol Recovery Serum ($46). And the best part about these Best of the Best buys? "All [are] appropriate for all skin types," says Bryan.

Get serum savvy

And proving there's a perfect serum at every price point are Best of the Best picks Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum ($74) in single-use capsules, Dr. Dennis Gross Clinical Concentrate Hydration Booster ($36) -- a great one for dry skin, according to Bryan -- and Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum Fragrance-Free ($24) which you can find at your drugstore.

'Tis the season to moisturize

Bryan says finding the right moisturizer is definitely important for Fall. Here, the Best of the Best are Olay Regenerist Instant Fix Wrinkle Revolution Complex ($29.99) for its lightweight cream texture and non-greasy finish, Replenix Power of Three Cream by Topix ($68) for its proven mix of antioxidants, and for dry sensitive skin, there's Crealine AR Moisturizer ($28.95) from the French product line Bioderma.
