111SKIn Exosome Face Lift ($655)
Visibly renew and rejuvenate the skin in 4 weeks with 111SKIN’s Exosome Face Lift. The two-step treatment is comprised of the Exosome Shot Serum and the Exosome Overnight Mask. This fast-acting duo targets advanced signs of ageing by lifting and tightening the skin, addressing fine lines and wrinkles.
STEP 1
This serum is the first step of the Exosome Face Lift. Powered by exosomes which help boost and regenerate the skin barrier, the formulation also leverages an innovative microspicule delivery system which helps enhance the absorption of the active ingredients. A lifting peptide complex supports elastin synthesis to target skin sagging, while a Swiss Ice Wine Extract smooths fine lines. The result is a visibly lifted and tightened effect.
STEP 2
This nourishing leave-on mask is the second step of the Exosome Face Lift. Complementing the Exosome Shot Serum, this hard-working formula contains Milk Thistle Extract which helps remove senescent cells, preventing them from inducing damage. A blend of powerful plant extracts and 111SKIN’s proprietary NAC Y2TM ingredient complex reinforce the skin’s protective barrier and encourage repair and rejuvenation.
Beekman 1802 x Libby’s Pumpkin (Various prices)
The ultimate fall collab between two of our favorite brands, the Beekman 1802 x Libby’s Pumpkin collection features limited-edition, mouthwatering body care products infused with the delicious scent of Libby’s pumpkin, toasted sugar, and warm spices.

Locking in hydration and strengthening the skin's barrier, this powerhouse formula is clinically proven to hydrate and soften skin, prevent transepidermal water loss, correct signs of aging, soothe redness and irritation, improve texture and elasticity, boost radiance and protect skin at the highest level. Experience skin that’s deeply moisturized, nourished and strong—both at and below the surface.

Highlighted by proprietary IPC technology developed at Princeton University, TSC reduces redness and inflammation caused by UV exposure, minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and protects against collagen breakdown.
To further enhance the skin’s resilience under sun exposure, the formula combines soothing and anti-oxidant rich botanicals. Bisabolol, a natural compound from chamomile, calms and relieves irritated skin, while Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate, derived from licorice root, helps reduce redness and even skin tone. Aloe Vera Extract provides hydration and anti-oxidant defense, supporting the skin’s barrier and recovery process after sun exposure.
