The Silky Smooth Balm is a primer that keeps oil at bay and makeup intact for hours, all while smoothing out the complexion.

Perricone MD OVM Klaudia Tirico
While most egg-derived skincare uses whites or yolks, this one taps the protective power of eggshell membrane instead. The eggshell membrane is the thin lining found between the shell and the white; you may have even found yourself peeling it off a hard boiled egg. The membrane protects the embryo from harmful microorganisms, and research has shown that it also plays a role in the growth of chick cells. It’s packed with protein fibers made up of more than 20 different amino acids, and contains collagen and hyaluronic acid, making it a skincare powerhouse.Perricone MD’s OVM treatment utilizes the benefits of eggshell membrane in its gel-like formula, which also features a low dose of retinol for plumper, smoother, more radiant and younger-looking skin. Apply it every morning and watch it turn back time.Perricone MD OVM, $165 -
