This award-winning product (namely, Allure Magazine's 2012 Best of Beauty Award) has 11 essential oils, such as argan, jojoba and jasmine, which will provide your skin with a full dose of lasting hydration. RODIN recommends you apply a few drops to a clean face morning and night. $150, oliolusso.com.![Patricia Wexler M.D. Dermatology Intensive 3-in-1 Eye Cream]()

"It plumps up fine lines and wrinkles that can virtually disappear with the right moisturizer alone, whether it contains any fancy anti-aging ingredients or not.” “Especially during sleep at night, the time when skin tends to dry out most, a layer of moisturizing cream can kickstart your morning with a ready-to-go glow,” adds Krant.
