From Herbivore to Byoma: 24 of the Best New Skincare Products Launching in February

Herbivore Nova 15% Vitamin C + Turmeric Brightening Serum promises to visibly brighten and even out skin tone in as little as one week. The 15% vitamin C is THD ascorbate, a gentle and stable alternative to L-ascorbic acid. It also contains a natural form of arbutin (another brightener) and turmeric (an antioxidant).

Byoma Hydrating Serum gives you lightweight hydration while supporting a healthy skin barrier. Like most hydrating serums, it’s high in humectants (glycerin), but it also prevents moisture loss with an array of emollients and skin conditioners. Think: squalane, ceramides, cholesterol and stearic acid.

One Love Organics Love + Rose Hydrating Serum both hydrates your skin and helps to fill in the look of fine lines and wrinkles. The key ingredient is a premium-grade, high-molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which is suspended in a base of aloe and babassu seed oil. It also creates a smooth base for makeup, sans silicones.

Rose Inc Hydration Replenish Microencapsulated Moisturizer is a nourishing but non-comedogenic gel moisturizer. It’s named for the microencapsulation technology that keeps its ingredients—like squalane, niacinamide, Centella Asiatica and vitamin C (THD ascorbate)—in their purest form until application.

Algenist Genius Liquid Skin Resurfacing 2% BHA Toner is a daily exfoliating toner that smooths skin, unclogs pores and removes excess oil. Not only does it contain 2% BHA in the form of salicylic acid, it also has azelaic acid, niacinamide, vegan collagen and the brand’s patented form of algae.

Byoma Clarifying Serum helps to reduce the excess oil that clogs pores and leads to breakouts. Niacinamide is the star ingredient, along with blue tansy oil and zinc to soothe and calm inflammation. Like all the brand’s products, it’s also got ceramides and other barrier-supporting ingredients.

BeautyStat Universal Microbiome Barrier Balancing Cleanser is a gentle foaming cleanser that removes makeup, grime and sunscreen in one step—without disturbing the skin barrier. Besides being sulfate-free, it is infused with antimicrobial silver, moisturizing squalane, and a proprietary ceramide-based complex to help repair damage.

Besides delivering intensive hydration with a lightweight texture, it brightens dark spots with a pigmentation-blocking peptide complex, and prevents ashiness with barrier-repairing ingredients.

Byoma Brightening Serum is a niacinamide-based serum that brightens dull skin while lightly hydrating. Although we’re not told the percentage of niacinamide, it is the third ingredient (which is a good sign!). There’s also hyaluronic acid and a ceramide complex to support barrier health.

U Beauty The Barrier Bioactive Treatment is an overnight mask for dull, dry skin. The concentrated treatment is meant to be applied as the last step in your routine, and delivers ingredients such as urea, shea butter, hyaluronic acid and vitamin B6 to hydrate, repair and rejuvenate your skin.

Formerly known as Honey Potion, this newly upgraded version now includes ceramides, apple extract and Centella Asiatica in addition to honey extract, propolis and royal jelly.

Omorovicza Cushioning Day Cream is a hydrating and plumping face cream for all skin types. Although it has a nourishing, buttery texture, it’s fast-absorbing and doesn’t feel heavy. Thanks to various marine actives and the brand’s signature Hungarian thermal water, it helps to stimulate collagen and protect against damage. 

Byoma Moisturizing Rich Cream is a thick, creamy moisturizer for dry skin types. It hydrates with a mix of humectants and emollients (including glycerin and shea butter), and is spiked with bakuchiol, a natural alternative to retinol. Most importantly, it contains the three most important barrier-repairing ingredients: ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids (stearic acid).
