This Celeb-Beloved Brand Has Every Product Derms Want You To Use on Your Spring Skin

Key ingredients: Salicylic acid, L-lactic acid, olive oil

Keeping your skin clear means starting your routine with a cleanser that effectively reduces the excess oil it produces this time of year. Oil cleansers are generally a great option for getting the job done because the oils in these formulas attach to the oils in your skin and whisk them away without causing any stripping or irritation.

Cosmedix’s Purity Balance is made with a blend of olive, moringa, kukui, safflower, sesame, and argan oils, all of which won’t clog your pores. What makes the formula particularly beneficial for spring skin, though, is the fact that it pairs its oils with gentle exfoliants to offer even more benefits. Salicylic acid dives deep done into pores to decongest them from the inside out; lactic acid melts away dead skin cells for a softening and smoothing effect; and tea tree oil helps to balance oil production.

Key ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, witch hazel, lecithin

More moisture in the air means that you need less moisture in your routine, which is why dermatologists recommend swapping the heavy moisturizer you used all winter for a lighter lotion. Cosmedix’s Skin Thirst fits the bill, and its weightless, oil-free formulation ensures that it won’t feel goopy or greasy on your skin (and won’t clog your pores) when temperatures hit the 70s. It gets its hydrating powers from hyaluronic acid, which sucks in moisture from the environment to keep your complexion quenched while also offering a nice plumping effect. The lotion also contains witch hazel, an astringent that helps balance oil production. It melts seamlessly into skin and layers beautifully under makeup, and—more importantly—SPF.

Key ingredients: Lactic acid, niacinamide, papaya fruit extract

If you and your winter-dry skin have been skipping your exfoliation step since Thanksgiving, it’s time to add it back to your routine. A gentle chemical exfoliant, like Cosmedix’s Prep and Reset, will help slough off the dead skin cells that have accumulated over the colder months to leave your complexion resurfaced and bright. The dual-sided pads are infused with lactic acid—which is known to be one of the gentlest exfoliating acids money can buy—and have a smooth side and a rough side that delivers a little extra physical exfoliation.

Key ingredients: Bakuchiol, squalane, jojoba and moringa seed oil

Dermatologists can’t quite agree on the best way to use retinol this time of year. Some will tell you to double down on the stuff now that your skin is less sensitive than it was all winter, but others will tell you to lay off because it makes your skin more sun sensitive (which you don’t want when you’re spending more time outside).

The easy middle ground? Trade your traditional retinoid for bakuchiol, a plant-based alternative that offers all of the same benefits without the risk of upping your UV damage. Cosmedix Bakuchiol Complete pairs the glass skin-inducing ingredient with hydrators like squalane and jojoba seed oil to give you a bright and well-balanced complexion.

Key ingredients: Niacinamide, green tea extract, D-trehalose

Sunscreen should be a morning routine staple all year round, and slathering the stuff on once in the morning isn’t enough to keep you protected all day long. In fact, dermatologists recommend re-applying every two hours to ensure your skin stays sun safe. Cosmedix’s Protect UV is an SPF 30 in spray form, which makes it endlessly easy to spritz over makeup while you’re out and about. Keep one in your purse, and revel in the additional hydrating, antioxidant, and oil-balancing benefits that come along with niacinamide and green tea extract.
