When Allure features director Dianna Singh once considered which beauty product she'd bring to a deserted island, she picked one of 111Skin's serums. Contributing editor Elizabeth Siegel described the brand’s Rose Gold Radiance Booster as the “kind of serum you look forward to putting on each morning.” And if you've ever spotted one of us walking around with suspiciously fresh, just-got-back-from-a-facial skin, there’s a decent chance a 111Skin mask was involved.

Starting May 23, you can also score 35% off the 111Skin Summer Skincare Duo, featuring the All Day Radiance Face Mist and Repair Day Cream Light for all-day hydration that feels light as a feather.

Cool As Ice: Cryo De-Puffing Facial Mask

Cryo De-Puffing Facial Mask
111Skin
Why it's worth it: Cryotherapy has earned a devoted following among skin-care devotees for its ability to reduce inflammation, accelerate exfoliation, and brighten skin. And while plunging into icy temperatures might feel especially appealing in the middle of summer, 111Skin’s Cryo De-Puffing Facial Mask brings some of that refreshing energy to your skin-care routine without the ice bath. The formula features a proprietary tetrapeptide complex to reduce water retention and support firmer-looking skin, while caffeine and niacinamide reduce puffiness and help fade dark circles. There’s also nonapeptide, a multitasking peptide that hydrates and defends against oxidative stress. Even better: The mask comes in two pieces, making it easier to hug the contours of your face. And if you want to fully lean into the cold therapy vibe, pop it in the fridge beforehand for an extra cooling boost.

Exfoliating Enzyme Cleanser
111Skin
Why it's worth it: You might already have a separate face cleanser and exfoliator in your routine, but 111Skin’s Exfoliating Enzyme Cleanser makes a compelling case for multitasking. The powder-to-foam formula combines papain enzymes—papaya-derived exfoliators that dissolve dead surface cells and unclog pores without disrupting the skin barrier—with shikimic acid, an AHA that smooths rough texture and boosts radiance while being gentler than traditional exfoliating acids. It also features the brand’s proprietary NAC Y² complex, a blend of vitamin C, escin, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC), to soothe, repair, and further help brighten skin. All you need to do is add water to let it get to work.

All Day Radiance Face Mist
111Skin
Why it's worth it: How do you keep skin moisturized throughout the day when you’re wearing makeup? The answer: 111Skin’s All Day Radiance Face Mist. Because slathering on another layer of moisturizer over your foundation isn’t exactly realistic, this ultra-fine mist delivers a quick hit of hydration while helping skin look fresher and more radiant with every spritz. The formula highlights fermented ingredients—including galactomyces and Lactobacillus—which support hydration and improve skin tone and luminosity. Antioxidants like ferulic acid, vitamin C, and vitamin E defend against environmental stressors, while soothing botanical extracts like Damask rose and purslane calm redness. There’s also a hefty peptide lineup—including copper peptides and signal peptides—to support smoother, healthier-looking skin over time. You can absolutely still use it on bare skin, especially when you’re in a rush, since the ultra-fine mist delivers a quick refresh with zero rubbing required.

Rose Gold Body Oil
111Skin
Why it's worth it: When baring a little skin is on the agenda (hello, beach days and sundresses), 111Skin’s Rose Gold Body Oil steps in with a head-to-toe glow. The lightweight formula combines a brightening blend of nourishing botanical oils and extracts—including chamomile and rosemary—to revive dull, lackluster limbs while giving dry spots like elbows, knees, and shins a much-needed moisture boost. Damask rose extract and vitamin E (tocopherol) bring soothing antioxidant benefits to comfort skin, while microalgae extract Goldella supports a firmer, smoother, and more supple appearance. Best of all, the nongreasy finish sinks in quickly, so you’re out the door and gleaming in no time.

Repair Day Cream Light NAC Y²

Why it's worth it: If you're already a fan of the rich texture of 111Skin’s Repair Day Cream NAC Y², consider this featherlight version its warm-weather counterpart. Ideal for oily skin types—or anyone who finds richer moisturizers a little too heavy once temperatures rise—Repair Day Cream Light NAC Y² delivers the same skin-strengthening benefits in a faster-absorbing formula. The brand’s NAC Y² complex makes another appearance here to support collagen production and defend against environmental stressors. Yeast extract helps create a protective barrier against pollution and free radical damage, and multiple molecular weights of hyaluronic acid deliver both immediate and long-lasting hydration at different levels. There's also Mediterranean-grown pink rock rose extract to calm, smooth, and soften the appearance of fine lines. It's an overachiever in all the right ways.

Black Diamond Contour Gel
111Skin
Why it's worth it: Peptides—short chains of amino acids that support proteins like collagen and elastin—have become skin-care staples. 111Skin’s Black Diamond Contour Gel combines some of the category’s biggest names, including 2% Argireline (often called a “Botox-like” peptide) and 3% Matrixyl 3000 (a well-studied family of signal peptides), to smooth the look of lines and wrinkles while making areas around the eyes, lips, and brows appear firmer and more lifted. Fine black diamond powder not only adds to the formula's luxe factor but also enhances the delivery of active ingredients for better absorption. And we’d be remiss not to mention one of our favorite details: the cooling metal applicator, which feels especially glorious on tired, puffy under-eyes first thing in the morning.

Dark Spot Correcting Serum
111Skin
Why it's worth it: Despite even the best sunscreen efforts, dark spots and hyperpigmentation still have a way of showing up uninvited—whether it’s from a lingering acne mark, a random cut, hormonal shifts, or simply the effects of time adding up. 111Skin’s Dark Spot Correcting Serum tackles discoloration with 2% tranexamic acid, which fades dark spots and uneven tone, alongside a blend of seven Swiss Alpine plant extracts—a proprietary mix including yarrow and lady’s mantle—to brighten dullness and boost radiance. The formula also contains 1% gluconolactone, a gentle polyhydroxy acid (PHA) with a larger molecular structure than traditional AHAs and BHAs, allowing it to exfoliate more gradually for smoother, glowier-looking skin with less potential for irritation.

Everyday Bestseller Trio

Why it's worth it: Now that you’re well acquainted with 111Skin’s NAC Y² complex, consider the Everyday Bestseller Trio the easiest way to put the brand’s signature ingredient system to work. The set acts as a greatest-hits lineup of NAC Y² essentials, including the Repair Serum NAC Y², a lightweight treatment designed to boost hydration, brighten, and support overall resilience; the Eye Lift Gel NAC Y², which refreshes tired-looking eyes and target puffiness with a cooling gel texture; and the Repair Day Cream NAC Y², a richer moisturizer that strengthens the skin barrier and locks in lasting hydration.
Used together, the trio creates a straightforward routine, especially well-suited for stressed, dry, or mature complexions: Start with the serum for antioxidant support, follow with the eye gel around the orbital area, and seal it all in with the moisturizer. Plus, the travel-friendly sizes and velvet pouch make it especially easy to test-drive the lineup—or keep your routine intact while on the go.

Frequently Asked Questions
How we test and review products
When Allure tests a product, our editors look at it from every angle in an effort to best serve you. We review ingredients, scrutinize brand claims, and, when necessary, examine peer-reviewed scientific and medical studies. In addition to testing each and every product that's included in each and every review, we rely on experts who shape their fields, including dermatology, cosmetic chemistry, and medicine, to help us vet the ingredients and formulas.
For our list of the best 111Skin products, we considered each product's performance across five primary categories: product ingredients and efficacy, packaging, fragrance, texture, and product wear. Every product was determined to have excelled in each category by our editorial team, which is composed of in-house writers and editors as well as contributors—along with special consideration from board-certified dermatologists. To learn more information on our reporting and testing processes, read our complete reviews process and methodology page.
Our staff and testers
A beauty product is a personal purchase. You might be searching for a face cream to address persistent dryness or a new nail product to add to your Sunday self-care routine; you may simply be browsing around for the latest launches to hit the hair market. No matter what you seek or your individual needs and concerns, Allure wants to ensure that you love anything we recommend in our stories. We believe that having a diverse team of writers and editors—in addition to the wide range of outside testers and industry experts we regularly call upon—is essential to reaching that goal.
After all, can we really say a skin-care product is the "best" for people over 50 if the only testers we’ve solicited opinions from folks who have yet to hit 30? Can we honestly deem a high-end diffuser worthy of your hard-earned cash if it’s never been tested on curls? We’re proud that our staff spans a wide range of ages, skin tones, hair textures, genders, and backgrounds, which means that we are able to fairly assess any beauty product that comes into the beauty closet.
