The Holiday Gift Guide
This holiday season, give the gift of self-care (it’s not just a trend)! During the height of winter, skin care is a luxurious, and always welcomed, gift that can alleviate the worst of cold season’s ill effects on the skin. By giving a holiday skincare gift set of our esthetician/MD-developed skin care, you can show those you love they deserve to be pampered.
Choosing skin care for others isn’t always easy, which is why we’ve put together these thoughtful collections. Each one comprises a few of our best sellers: gentle products that work together to give exceptional results that will suit all skin types. They are packaged beautifully, so you won’t have to worry about fussing with gift-wrapping paper.
For a Regimen Overhaul That Defies Age: RENEWING RITUAL collection
The RENEWING RITUAL collection holds a complete skincare regimen made up of five of our best sellers, all to defy the visible signs of aging. It’s for the people in your life who give the most and deserve the best, but are unlikely to invest in their own self-care. With this set, you can instantly overhaul their beauty routine, with quick-acting products that enliven the skin.
The set includes the MAX™ stem cell facial cleanser, a gentle way of removing makeup and impurities at night while supercharging the skin with potent botanicals like apple, edelweiss, and summer snowflake flower stem cell extracts.[1] Next is the VITAL C hydrating repair cream, a rich moisturizer with water-binding hyaluronic acid and barrier-forming ceramides[2] to deeply hydrate. It also includes vitamins A, C, and E to stave off the visible signs of aging in the long term by minimizing the appearance of fine lines.[3]
For targeted results, the collection also features two serums. The AGELESS total pure hyaluronic filler is a powerful hydrating serum that makes the skin appear more plump. It quickly and visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines by loading the skin up with moisture on every level, with multiple types of hyaluronic acid.[4] To counter discoloration, the set features the ILUMA intense brightening serum, which provides a visible brightening effect with ingredients like exfoliating azelaic acid and illuminating mulberry and licorice root extracts.
Lastly, it includes the I MASK firming transformation mask, a weekly treatment that exfoliates with gentle jojoba beads, pulls impurities out with absorbent kaolin clay, and then nourishes the skin with a pepper berry plant extract. Everything is packaged in an elegant keepsake box that she can hang on to forever.

It punches above its weight class by also infusing the skin with potent beautifying ingredients like vitamin C, which brightens the skin’s appearance, and vitamin A, which helps the skin look smoother and more youthful.
The VITAL C hydrating anti-aging serum is the ideal one-and-done serum. It is made with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C for reversing the visible signs of aging, protecting and hydrating the skin. Those with oily and combination skin can use it alone, while those with dry skin can layer it under their moisturizer.

By exfoliating, this first mask prepares the skin for the second step, the I MASK purifying probiotic masque. This mask is loaded with yogurt-based probiotics to balance the skin’s natural microbiome[5] and kaolin clay to absorb impurities from within the pores and purify the skin.
