Chanel's trinity of serums tap into your skin's internal clock to make sure antioxidants, collagen, and your natural hydration continue production on a proper schedule. The daytime version ($85; chanel.com) acts as a cup of espresso for your skin to produce a more radiant, awake appearance, while the night version ($85; chanel.com) provides intense moisture so your complexion can soak in the benefits while you sleep. And just like a spontaneous end-of-week trip is good for your soul, Chanel's weekend serum ($115; chanel.com) gives your skin much-needed R&R with soothing rose water and a touch of glycolic acid to slough away excess dirt and skin cells that built up over the past few days.
