MASK Anne Pedersen, beauty director at ELLE Denmark, calls Lancôme Advanced Génifique Hydrogel Melting Mask ($20) “pure genius” for delivering the equivalent of a full bottle’s worth of brightening serum to the skin in just one mask. ANTI- AGING Nearly every ELLE editor used the word “luxury” to describe La Prairie Platinum Rare Cellular

Night Elixir ($1,555). Simply put? “[It’s] premium care from a premium brand that turns back time,” says Velina Vasileva, beauty and lifestyle editor at ELLE Bulgaria, of its firming and brightening powers. MOISTURIZER Angélique Martel, beauty director at ELLE Québec, likened the results of using the light-textured La Mer The Moisturizing Cool Gel Cream ($230) to “stepping out of a professional facial.” †
