Mario Badescu facial sprays come with aloe and rosewater, cucumber and green tea, or chamomile and lavender. I walk through the sprays, the Drying Lotion and the 1967 Manhattan studio that started the brand.

LED masks moved from clinics to bathroom shelves fast, and what you get now ranges from an impulse buy to a serious appliance. Red light is the one with the most research behind it for firmness, blue is aimed at breakouts, and consistency matters more than wattage. This edit separates the full face masks from the targeted devices, so you can see what you are actually buying.

Editorial
The best toner for oily skin works between cleansing and moisturizer, clearing out what a face wash leaves behind rather than just tightening pores for an hour. For years the fix was an alcohol heavy astringent, which strips skin so aggressively that it produces even more oil to compensate. This edit compares eight acid based formulas instead, from gentle, regular use options to stronger ones meant for active breakouts.

Lips have no oil glands, which is why they are the first thing to go in cold weather. The best lip balm for dry lips seals rather than soothes, with butters, oils, waxes or petrolatum forming a barrier lips cannot make on their own.

Editorial
Pore strips work in one narrow way: they lift the top of what sits in a pore, and they have been a bathroom habit since 1997. I cover the Bioré originals, other brands' shapes and what to do once the strip is off.

Editorial
The blackhead remover that works best for oily skin pairs a quick fix like pore strips with slower care like a BHA exfoliant and weekly clay. I sort the strips and tools, the BHA exfoliants and cleansers, and the clay masks for an oily nose.

The best base is a great skincare routine. Feature the products that actually change your skin — not just how it looks.

Editorial
Hypochlorous acid is not some new lab invention, it is a molecule your own white blood cells already make to fight bacteria. Skincare brands manufacture a stable version through electrolysis of saltwater, then bottle it as a spray, peel or serum for breakouts, redness and barrier support. Below you will find full size sprays, refill bottles, minis and the calming mists and creams worth rotating in beside them.

Editorial
Oily skin gets sold aggression when it needs regulation. The best face wash for oily skin removes the day without triggering the rebound that makes tomorrow worse. All of these walk that line.
