Of course your friends at BD are timeless, so let's just say we're noticing a growing problem with adult acne among other friends, even on wrinkly skin. For those not looking to sandblast elder epidermis with the usual harsh de-pimplification measures, the parabens and urea in Carita's new Ideal Controle Masque Poudré ($62) moisturize without pore-clogging, while acids and botanicals hose off zit-producing sebum. Works like a charm, if you don't fixate on the urea part.

You can put all the conditioner in your hair you want, but if your water is hard, chlorine-y and full of minerals, the fanciest goo can only do so much. In the why-didn't-we-think-of-that category comes Jonathan Product's Beauty Water Shower Purification system, essentially a high-quality filter plus adjustable showerhead to give whatever other products you're using an actual chance. $95, $55 for replacement filters.

While we're tempted to call bullshit on the selling point of Pierre Michel's RepHair line (it restores damaged hair DNA), we're most impressed by its performance—especially the miraculously low-alcohol, high-boost Volumizer. In place of the drying astringent is a salad of botanicals (a rain forest plant called Uncaria tomentosa, plus chamomile rosemary, hops, nettle and wild cherry). DNA, Schmee-NA: it gives our hair body without stripping it to ill-health. In the end, isn't that all that matters?

You can still smell the animal tang of the proteins in Skin Medica's newly reformulated, truly amazing TNS Recovery Complex serum ($130), but that should just tell you it's working. Other hard-toiling wrinkle-fighters and dead-cell-sweepers include soluble collagen, human growth factors and a whole mess of antioxidants. So it's a little smelly, so Bo Derek is its official brand representative; it's also twice as effective (and nowhere near as irritating) as any AHA cocktail we've tried.

Fabien Baron—graphics guru, branding visionary, multitasking myth-maker—can do more in 15 minutes than just about anyone. So it was no great surprise when news spread earlier this year that he'd been named editorial director of Andy Warhol's Interview. At his new West Village digs, he opened up to Hint about everything from his redesign of the magazine to his designs on the White House.

You might think, given his collaboration with leather-goods house Schott, that Jeremy Scott is going butch. After all, Schott created the biker jackets worn by Marlon Brando and James Dean. But no, that manly legacy is given a swishy twist, like this rococo tea print of treasure trolls in pastoral repose. Also this month: Marni, Stella McCartney, Tom Binns and more. |
