January isn’t about resolutions-it’s about restocking your vanity with problem-solvers that actually work. From a salon-grade scalp scrub you use once a week to a tubing mascara that refuses to smudge, here are the month’s top 10 launches hitting virtual shelves now.

Hair & Scalp Heroes

Celebrity stylist Mara Roszak bottled her double-cleanse secret: RŌZ Salt Scalp Scrub ($45) replaces shampoo weekly, sweeping away buildup while mineral salts invigorate roots. Follow with conditioner for that just-left-the-salon swish.

Need wind-proof wedding hair? Joico Hold Hero ($22.50) shields styles up to 25 mph, adds glossy shine and doubles as heat protectant-Renato Campora used it on Selena Gomez‘s big-day look.

Skin Fixes Without Irritation

Vitamin C that even eczema-prone skin tolerates? Skinfix Brighten + Firm 15% Vitamin C Serum ($69) earned the National Eczema Association seal, pairs radiance-boosting antioxidants with water-holding peptides for bouncy, even tone.

For redness flare-ups, dermatologist Dr. Shereene Idriss introduces Left Un-Red CalmBack Cream ($58). The mint-green tint neutralizes flush while barrier-repair actives calm discomfort linked to sensitivity.

Makeup & Nail Game Changers

  • e.l.f. Glow Reviver Slipstick ($10) squeezes the viral lip-oil formula into a mess-free stick in 10 shades, loaded with jojoba, mango butter and squalane.
  • Urban Decay Tube Job Mascara ($25) wraps lashes in polymer tubes that resist flakes, sweat and tears; peptides, hyaluronic acid and castor oil nourish while you wear.
  • Essie Break Fix Liquid Nail Patch ($12) hardens on contact, fusing broken edges for up to five invisible days-top with any Essie color.

Spa-Level Treatments at Home

Laneige Water Bank Aqua Facial ($36) distills Korea’s glass-skin facial into a bottle: twice-daily use 2-3× week clears pores with AHAs/BHAs/PHAs, floods skin with hyaluronic & polyglutamic acids, then repairs the barrier using PDRN and ceramide.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Meltaway Cleansing Balm ($38) melts long-wear makeup and waterproof mascara in one step-no second cleanse required-continuing the 1990s classic’s legacy.

StriVectin TL Advanced Sculpting Neck & Jawline Mask ($18) delivers a caffeine-peptide blend via a contour-hugging hydrogel; 20 minutes depuffs and tones from chin to chest.

  • Sensitive skin wins with eczema-approved vitamin C and redness-neutralizing cream
