The texture of this cream is a pure delight: It feels deliciously buttery upon application, then sinks immediately into the skin without any oily film. We can thank aloe vera for that perk, which, in addition to fading dark spots, soothing inflammation, and keeping the skin supple, helps provide a smooth texture and faster absorption (so no greasy fingertips). The high-tech hydrators are also top of the line: In addition to moisturizing butters and oils, a combination of pre- and postbiotics nurtures the skin microbiome, coenzyme Q10 helps skin cells literally act younger, vitamin B5 smooths skin, and trisaccharides enhance barrier function. All of that, with no trace of scent—it’s like an invisible shield of hydration. postbiotic hand cream, mindbodygreen ($25)
