Everyone has that one friend who’s so particular about skin care, they may as well be Kevin McCallister picking out dental products – only their version of the “Is this toothbrush approved by the American Dental Association?” question is usually something like, “Is this cleanser formulated with clean ingredients?” And it tends to happen at Sephora, Ulta, or Amazon.

Rather than leaving them to fend for themselves this holiday season like poor Kev’s parents do in “Home Alone,” though, why not give them a beauty gift that lives up to the highest of skin-care standards without any of the guesswork? From fancy face-mask sets to skin-care gadgets galore and serum samplers for all of their concerns, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to the only skin-care gift sets worth giving. Don’t worry, we made sure to cover every price point, including splurge-worthy products from brands like Peter Thomas Roth and Tatcha and drugstore steals from budget-friendly brands like Byoma that you can find at Target. We even found a few TikTok-viral gifts worth checking out.

With the holiday season mere months away, find the best skin-care gifts for your loved ones that will be thoughtful and practical presents they’ll appreciate. Happy shopping.
