Today’s post features some of my favorite new skincare finds! I’m always testing out new stuff but only a few stand out from the rest and manage to earn a spot in my beauty routine.
From a fine-line smoothing and hydrating eye cream to a skincare-infused body wash that makes my shower routine feel like a pick-me-up treatment, here are some of my latest skincare discoveries that I’ve been reaching for repeatedly! Now let’s dive into the details for each one…
Cocokind Peptide Fine Line Eye Gel ($21.99)
This is a fine line treatment formulated with a skin-firming peptide complex to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for an overall smoother looking eye area. It also contains a hydrating blend of 5 ceramides, glycerin and squalane that help strengthen the skin barrier and lock in moisture to support supple and plump skin.
It has a lightweight, silky gel formula that absorbs quickly and feels soothing and hydrating. The soft pink tint provides a subtle brightening effect to the under-eye area. Just one pump is enough for both eyes. It leaves my under-eye skin feeling smooth and moisturized, and also creates a smooth base under makeup. The formula is fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin.
Packed with the same potent anti-aging ingredients as more expensive eye creams, this Cocokind eye gel does a lot at an affordable price point!
Drunk Elephant Therabu Buttered Reparative Hand Cream ($24)
This nourishing hand cream delivers long-lasting moisture, softening and repairing dry hands while diminishing visible signs of aging. It’s formulated with antioxidant-rich Marula butter, Shea butter, and calming Oat flour to deliver a healthy dose of hydration while strengthening the skin barrier.
Despite its creamy-rich texture, the formula absorbs easily and doesn’t leave my hands feeling greasy or sticky. And a little goes a long way! It has a naturally sweet scent that comes from vanilla fruit extract in the formula — no fragrance or essential oils here! And I like that the scent isn’t strong and dissipates quickly. This hand cream has been a great addition to my winter skincare routine, it really does a great job of providing the extra love my hands need during the year’s coldest, driest months!

Olay Super Serum Body Wash ($12.97)
This new Super Serum body wash by Olay not only deeply cleanses but also brightens, smooths and hydrates skin — everything you need when your skin is feeling dull, dry and lackluster.
Formulated with skincare ingredients that lock in moisture and restore your skin’s smoothness and glow — Niacinamide, AHA/BHA (to gently exfoliate), collagen peptide, vitamin C and vitamin E — this body wash is like a mini skin treat every time I step into the shower, and I am all for it!
The Olay Super Serum body wash has a creamy, silky gel-like formula that lathers up nicely and leaves my skin feeling softer and smoother. And I love the refreshing citrusy-floral scent! It comes in 3 varieties – Super Serum Body Wash for Normal Skin; for Extra Dry Skin and for Rough & Bumpy Skin (that’s the one I bought)
Dr. Brandt Glow Overnight Retinol Oil ($82)
This is a gentle yet powerful retinol oil that rejuvenates and nourishes skin without irritation. This nighttime oil targets dullness, fine lines, wrinkles and uneven texture, working overnight to brighten, firm and renew your skin. Formulated with sensitive skin in mind, it contains hydrating and soothing ingredients like ceramides and 20% squalane which help to replenish and strengthen the skin barrier, keeping your skin hydrated and calm while minimizing potential irritation from retinol. 
Although great for all skin types, this nourishing night oil is especially perfect for those with dry skin like me as it provides retinol benefits without dryness (thanks to the high concentration of hydrating ingredients in the formula!) If you have sensitive skin or are new to retinol, apply the oil only twice a week in the evening. Gradually increase usage as your skin becomes accustomed to it. And don’t forget to wear sunscreen during the day as retinol can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun!
SkinCeuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan Serum ($120)
This is a multi-beneficial volumizing serum with hyaluronic acid that not only plumps and hydrates skin, but also fills fine lines and helps stimulate glycans responsible for volume. Built off the formulation of SkinCeuticals bestselling hyaluronic acid serum, this next-generation corrective serum is proven to amplify your skin’s natural hyaluronic acid levels by 30%.
How is it different from other HA serums? This advanced formula contains a high concentration of 1.3% pure hyaluronic acid, 12% Proxylane™, purple rice extract and a new post-biotic ferment to increase glycan content and maintain essential moisture in the top layers of your skin. Instantly, skin is plumped and rehydrated for up to 24 hours. Over time, elasticity and firmness are renewed, plus skin smoothness is improved for a youthful look.
It has a lightweight gel-like texture that absorbs easily and I love that the formula is not tacky or sticky like some other HA serums I’ve tried. It does a great job of providing long-lasting hydration without any heaviness and it’s also fragrance-free.

Drunk Elephant Mello Marula Cream Cleanser with 1.0% Colloidal Oatmeal ($36)
This is an ultra-gentle, low-lather cream cleanser that calms skin as it gently removes water-resistant makeup, sunscreen and daily pollution. It contains a nourishing blend of 1.0% colloidal oatmeal and marula oil to soothe and moisturize skin while mild but effective surfactants remove impurities to leave skin feeling soft and clean — never stripped.
Tiffany was inspired to create this cleanser from her husband’s request for a cleanser that could double as shaving cream. At the time—she told him to mix Slaai and Beste but was inspired by the outcome. This is a low-lather formula without traditional harsher surfactants or SLS, but rinses away quickly and easily without leaving any residue. If you’re battling dry winter skin, this cleanser is absolutely worth a try. I would recommend this especially for those with sensitive or dry skin like me!
