The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

As the grooming editor, I’m lucky enough to get to try a lot of products. But few of them make it into my normal rotation. I’ve been using Caldera + Lab The Good Multi-Functional Serum for several weeks and it’s an absolute keeper. The serum, designed specifically for men—is made almost entirely of oils and extracts from seeds, herbs, flowers, and fruit. It smells lightly herbaceous. (My colleagues have described it as “fresh,” “earthy,” and “grassy.”) It rubs into skin really easily and completely, so your face doesn’t have a greasy look—a feat of chemistry since it has so much oil in it. It’s brightened up my visage and made my skin softer. And since it’s made of 100% non-toxic, wild harvested, organic ingredients, it should be OK for people with sensitive skin (though you should always do a patch test if you’re concerned). The packaging is really handsome, so you’ll be glad to leave it out on your bathroom counter or nightstand. — Marjorie Korn, Senior Editor
