The Best Nordstrom Skincare Products, Including an Editor-Loved Cleansing Balm and LED Mask

Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm ($19)

If you're struggling with dry skin, this nourishing, cult-favorite balm removes makeup while hydrating like a cleansing milk. It's mineral-oil free and includes rose and mimosa waxes along with elderberry, starflower, coconut, and optimega oils. It also smells like heaven, thank to the combination of nine essential oils including lavender, chamomile, and eucalyptus. Our editor tested and insists it's worth the hype. For more details, read our Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm review.

Editor Quote: "This cleansing balm is the next best thing to a daily facial. I know, I know, that sounds dramatic, but it really is as luxurious as it is effective. I use it as the first step in my double-cleansing ritual on days when I wear makeup (though it also doubles as a hydrating face mask) and warm a pea-size amount between my palms before massaging it into my skin. Within seconds, the formula melts even waterproof makeup formulas off of my face. What's more, my skin feels softer to the touch immediately after cleansing. Forget the feeling of stripped skin — this balm will leave your complexion feeling wildly silky and soothed." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing shopping editor

Salt & Stone Deodorant ($20)

If you're looking to switch to a natural deodorant, this one has a cult following. It's made with hyaluronic acid and coconut oil, so it's moisturizing but will still keep you dry. Our editor tested it out and is officially converted. Read more in our Salt & Stone Deodorant review.

Editor quote: "Natural deodorants are very hit or miss. Some don't work at reducing body odor, while others can leave my armpits irritated and dry. The Salt & Stone Natural Deodorant does none of those things — it blew me away. The cream-to-powder stick goes on smoothly without any dryness or tugging. You can immediately smell the fresh fragrance notes. However, this isn't what really wowed me. It's easy for a deodorant to impress right out of the bottle — it's how it holds up hours later that matters." — Jessica Harrington, beauty section lead

COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence ($25)

If you're looking for an affordable serum that will hydrate your skin while lightening dark spots and scars, give this snail mucin serum a try. Our editor tested it out and claims to be a "complete convert". For more details, read our COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence review.

Editor Quote: "It's been months since I started using the essence daily. I use it after cleansing and before applying moisturizer, and I am a complete convert. Though I was worried the additional skin-care step would clog my pores over time, leading to pimples and what have you, my skin's texture has actually improved, and it feels way more even now. The hydration payoff is also huge, and I feel like it actually helps my moisturizer work better, too. For a while, I had been feeling as though the cream would just sit atop my skin after application, and now I feel like it's actually penetrating through and sinking in. Best of all, I finally feel close to glazed doughnut status." — Kelsey Garcia, lifestyle director

Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment With Avocado ($40-$62)

Give your undereye area some extra love with this moisturizing eye cream. If you have dehydration, dryness, or dullness in that area, this will help revive the undereyes. Plus, it works as a great primer under makeup as well.

L'Occitane Immortelle Youth Hand Cream ($40)

This award-winning hand cream improves skin elasticity, softens wrinkles, and evens skin tone. It's made with a hydrating combination of rich shea butter and Immortelle essential oil, and a little goes a long way.

Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish Exfoliator ($40)

This brown sugar body scrub does a superb job at gently exfoliating skin while also hydrating. It's perfect for applying in the shower and is infused with fragrant citrus oils as well as apricot kernal oil, ginseng root extract, and camelina sativa seed oil.

Sunday Riley Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Exfoliating Face Treatment ($50-$122)

Give your skin a gentle exfoliation with this exfoliating face treatment. Within a few uses, you'll notice your skin is smoother, brighter, and overall healthier. If you have sensitive skin, use it a few times a week rather than every day and leave it on for 15 minutes before rinsing. Our editor was surprised by how well it worked for her rosacea-prone skin. For more details, read her Sunday Riley Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Exfoliating Face Treatment review.

Editor Quote: "Unlike other harsh chemical exfoliants, this one doesn't make my skin burn or itch. After applying it, I can feel a subtle tingling for the first minute or so before the sensation completely fades away. It has a clean, citrus smell that's refreshing without being overpowering. Best of all, it delivers results pretty quickly. After using it a few times a week for two weeks, my skin looked clearer and dewier than it's looked in years. The dark spots on my cheeks lightened and the redness caused by sun damage under my nose is fading. Even my husband commented on how clear my skin looks. I've started wearing less foundation and even skipping concealer most days, which I used to rely on for hiding sun and age spots." — Angela Elias, contributing shopping editor

Youth to the People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Overnight Face Mask ($52)

If you have dry skin, this mask will make your skin feel revitalized and glowy by morning. Top off your nighttime routine with a layer of this mask, go to bed, and wake up to a plump and brighter complexion. It contains antioxidant-rich berries and vitamin C to give your skin the love it needs while you dream.

The Skinny Confidential Mint Roller ($89)

Reduce puffiness, increase circulation, and shrink pores while contouring and tightening skin with this double-sided cold therapy tool. The V-shaped side helps to sculpt the jawline and cheekbones while the smooth side is great for de-puffing. Our former editor put it to the test and says it was "worth every penny" because of how versatile it is. For more details, read our The Skinny Confidential Mint Roller review.

Editor Quote: "Although it's primarily a facial tool that helps you appear more sculpted and revived, I actually use it to help with pain relief too. It has been my go-to for relieving neck and shoulder tension, especially on long plane rides. The indent of the contour roller perfectly hugs my jawline and cheekbones, which feels amazing when massaging out the tension in that area. I use it to relieve headaches and migraines, as well as stuffiness from allergies and irritation." — Anvita Reddy, former assistant shopping editor

NuFace Mini+ Smart On-the-Go Facial Toning Starter Kit ($250)

If you've been curious about trying a facial toning device, several of our editors have tested NuFace's options and have seen results. This mini version makes it easy to grasp and even travel with. Right now, you can grab a deal on the NuFace MINI+ Smart On-the-Go Facial Toning Starter Kit, which boasts a $325 value for just $250. For more details, read our editor's review of the NuFace Mini+ vs. the Ziip Halo to see which one is right for you.

Editor quote: "In the second image, my jawline looks much sharper after using the NuFace tool, my cheeks look far less puffy, and my eyebrow has a stronger arch than normal; if I didn't know any better, I might've assumed these were before and after photos from a Botox treatment (a testament to the Nuface Mini's effectiveness)." — Kyley Warren, former assistant shopping editor

Silk'n LED Face Mask ($299)

To soften fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and heal acne, this light therapy works by using red and blue LED lights. The red lights help to produce collagen and elastin to reduce wrinkles, sun spots, sun damage, and redness, while the blue lights help get rid of bacteria and prevent breakouts. Our editor was looking for a multi-colored option under $300 and was thrilled with the results. For more LED masks, from celebrity-loved options to one that incorporates face massage, read our roundup of Best LED masks.

Editor quote: "While this mask gives you the choice between a 10-minute red light session or a 15-minute multi-color session, I've always opted for the slightly longer session that goes through all four lights to get the broadest range of benefits. Not only did it help to lighten redness caused by rosacea, but it also lightened old acne scars and sun damage I accumulated over the years. If I have a hormonal breakout, it speeds up the healing in just a single session. After a month of using it, I swapped my daily foundation for a tinted sunscreen and hardly ever reach for concealer anymore. It's also easy to pack and not as delicate as the celebrity-loved DMH Aesthetics Light Shield." — Angela Elias, contributing shopping editor
