Few feelings come close to being gifted (or gifting) the best skin care sets.

With all the different skin concerns to address and the influx of buzzy products that inundate our social scrolling, it’s hard to determine whether to focus on brightening discoloration with a vitamin C serum or which sunscreen formula is best for your skin type. Truth is, the simpler the routine, the better—but everyone needs to start somewhere.

Sephora rating: 4.9/5 stars

I'm troubled with dark spots (recovering picker), so this box helps to minimize the look of my scars without overly drying my skin or causing more irritation.”—Nerisha Penrose
Pros
- Targets fine lines and wrinkles
Cons
- Pricey

Sephora rating: 4.3/5 stars
An ELLE editor says: “After having all my expensive skin care products swiped by TSA in Europe, I started traveling with drugstore products, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just not always my thing. However, restocking my travel beauty products can quickly get expensive, so I opted for this set. I’m a huge fan of the setting spray, so was eager to try these products. This quick three step routine kept my skin hydrated and happy throughout my entire vacation. Such a steal that TSA can’t steal (but will be tempted).” — Danielle James, ELLE digital beauty director

A Glossier reviewer said: “I turned 39 and boom, acne on my chin I have never experienced before. I tell my bestie, she recommends this brand. IN ONE WEEK NY SKIN HAS COMPLETELY CLEARED! My pores minimized, my complexion the most even I have ever seen. The texture is smoooth, no baby bumps. I came back and bought cloud paint duo, boy brow duo and priming moisturizer. I am super excited for those products. I'm allergic to everything and Glossier DOES NOT IRRITATE ME!!! So happy!! Customer for life.”
Pros
- Comes with three lip treatments
Cons

SkinCeuticals rating: 4.6/5 stars
A SkinCeuticals reviewer says: “There is no other vitamin C that comes remotely close to this product. This product is superior to them all. I firmly believe that not all skincare needs to be super expensive, but when it comes to ingredients like vitamin C, you get what you pay for. This profit has a hefty price tag, but if you want something that actually works and improves the look of your skin and reduces hyperpigmentation, this is your guy. Stop spending money on trying so many products that don’t yield results, and invest in one that will blow you away. This is the one.”
