Vichy LiftActiv Retinol HA Night ($42; CVS) delivers the benefits of retinol at night—away from UV light, which can cause the ingredient to break down. Even better, this formula won’t make skin dry (thanks to hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid).

Distribute Alterna Caviar Overnight Hair Rescue ($35; Ulta) through dry hair and let the strengthening caviar extract absorb overnight. Use it three times a week to add shine and prevent breakage. (And, no, it won’t leave a residue on your pillow!)
