MASK 99. SkinceuticalsClarifying ClayLavish, refreshing, nourish­ing-dermatologists lay the praise on pretty thick for this non-drying mask. Not that you'll need to apply any more than the thinnest layer to see results. It relies on "natural earth clays and botanicals to unclog pores, while hydroxy acids get rid of the dead layer of skin," says Dr. Weinberg. And unlike so many other clay masks, this one never feels crusty. $37; skinceuticals .com.

MOISTURIZER WITH SPF 95. Elta MD UV Clear Broad-SpectrumSPF 46 A humble overachiever, this broad-spectrum lotion "disappears into skin," says New Orleans dermatologist Mary Lupo. It blocks both UVA and UVB rays and is loaded with extras: hyaluronic acid to plump up fine lines and niacinamide to build the skin's barrier, which "helps calm irritation from breakouts, so it's good for acne patients," says Birmingham, Ala., derma­tologist Gary Monheit. $29; eltamd.com for stores.
