1. An e.l.f. makeup-removing balm that melts off every stubborn trace of makeup in a snap — everything from waterproof mascaras to long-wearing eyeshadows. It's like magic in a bottle.
2. A jar of Versed's rich moisture cream to provide skin with a much-needed dose of hydration for any dryness that the seasons bring. Its key ingredients — which include algae extract, vitamin E, and glycerin — are real hydration heroes.
3. A bottle of Naturium niacinamide serum that helps hide the appearance of oversized pores, improves skin texture, and vanishes breakouts. The serum's main ingredient, niacinamide, is known to improve a variety of skin concerns without causing any irritation.
4. A bottle of BYBI bakuchiol facial treatment to improve texture, reduce pigmentation, and make skin feel smoother and softer. If you're someone whose skin is too sensitive for retinol, this plant-based retinol alternative will give you similar results.

6. A tube of La Roche-Posay UV-repairing moisturizer to provide soothing hydration to damaged skin while protecting it from harmful UV rays. (Read: your skin savior all year round.)
7. A pack of Mighty Patches that help reduce the size of zits overnight — which is actually a necessity, especially with ~all~ the breakouts we've been experiencing (hello, MASKNE!). You'll wake up with your zit visibly shrunken in size and less inflamed — a win for us all!
8. A little tub of Neutrogena's Hydro Boost gel moisturizer – it attracts and locks in moisture, leaving you super hydrated. Did we mention it also has an oil-free formula that won't trigger breakouts?

22. A Bliss cream-to-water moisturizer to add next-level hydration to your skin with the infusion of four types of hyaluronic acid. Apply both morning and night if your skin needs a boost.
23. Or! A Bliss vitamin C and tripeptide moisturizer that uses clinical-grade vitamin C to give you undeniably glowing results. Did we mention it also delivers intense hydration and helps elasticity with every use?
24. An all-in-one hydrating milk toner – it reintroduces hydration to your skin after cleansing. For the best results, apply right after you wash your face but before you apply any serums.
