It leaves all hair types ultra-shiny, smooth and frizz-free — plus, it helps lock your style in place so your strands will look amazing.

Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum

File this eye cream under “formulas we’d repurchase again and again and again.” Weightless, gentle and highly effective, it features a powerhouse blend of retinol, swertia-flower extract and hyaluronic acid to visibly fade fine lines and wrinkles while simultaneously firming the area. We also appreciate that it’s ophthalmologist-tested and designed for all skin types — including sensitive ones.
