Clinique's Repairwear Laser Focus cream provides laser-like results for reducing spots and lines at a fraction of the cost of an actual laser treatment. It uses polypeptides and enzymes to improve the skin, while antioxidants protect against pollution and UV damage over time. Le Metier de Beaute created a makeup collection inspired by the fashion house Marchesa, including a portable eye shadow palette and lip gloss. Bulgari's Source Defense Creme provides hydration and a natural glow to the skin after exercise using light-reflecting gem powders for a matte finish.

Laser Focus is hundreds less than a
laser treatment with similar-albeit
slightly more dramatic-results. But
right away, it started to fade spots
and unfurl the lines under my eyes
(thanks to polypeptides and a trio of
enzymes), while a tricked-out antiox-
idant blend promises to temper
pollution and UV damage down the
road. Now that's a savvy investment.
