Spotted on Sabrina Carpenter's Nightstand: The High-Tech Secret to Butter-Smooth Skin

Sabrina Carpenter’s Skincare Secret Revealed

When I came across Sabrina Carpenter's recent Instagram post, I couldn’t help but gasp. It wasn’t the “Man’s Best Friend” album cover that caught my attention, but rather a photo dump she shared on July 14. In it, she gave fans a sneak peek into her nighttime skincare routine. At first glance, it might be easy to miss, but as a beauty editor, I immediately noticed the Lyma Laser Pro sitting on her bedside table. If you’re familiar with this high-tech device, you understand why I was so excited.

The Lyma Laser is a cold laser that uses low-level near-infrared light to stimulate collagen and cell renewal deep within the skin. There’s a scientific process behind it, which you can read more about here. Essentially, it triggers a genetic switch in skin cells, encouraging them to produce collagen and elastin faster, resulting in plumper, firmer, and smoother skin. Unlike traditional lasers that cause damage to spur collagen repair, the Lyma Laser doesn’t cause any stinging or stress. You don’t even feel anything as you glide the tool across your skin.

Consistency is key when using the Lyma Laser—every day for three months! But the results are well worth the effort. Take Sofia Richie Grainge, who said, "This transformed my skin," and Kate Hudson, who shared, "Not an ad, just telling you this is one of the best things I've ever used on my face."

There's also the Lyma Laser Pro, which offers the power of three Lyma Lasers in one with a larger treatment lens. Both Carpenter and I (plus Martha Stewart) have the Pro version, which comes at a higher price than the original model—nearly $6000 compared to $2600. While both devices contain the same laser technology, I personally prefer the larger tool.

Yes, it’s pricey, but I swear my skin has never looked more glassy and even-toned. Multiple friends have asked me what I’ve been doing differently in my beauty routine. My answer? I’ve been using the Lyma Pro every single night for the past four months, since the end of March, and I’ll continue to do so to prepare for my upcoming nuptials in November. It's one of the best skincare tools ever invented, in my opinion. I bet Carpenter would agree, as it looks like she kept it on her throughout her busy summer travel schedule, from Hyde Park to Paris.

Other Skin-Smoothing Products to Try

Augustinus Bader The Elixir

I didn’t think I’d ever love an Augustinus Bader product more than the brand's famous Rich Cream, but this new Elixir has officially topped my list. It's the brand's most concentrated product ever, featuring advanced TFC8, phyto-peptides, and antioxidants. It's simply life-changing.

Mother Science Retinol Synergist

My favorite retinol at the moment. I've gone through two bottles already!

111SKIN Face & Eye Repair Skin Care Set

Run, don't walk, because 111Skin's celeb-loved Repair Serum and Eye Lift Gel are 30% off for Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale.

ANFISA Skin Ân-Dew 10% Azelaic Acid + Pha Serum

I'm obsessed with how this potent yet gentle serum retexturizes my skin and reduces redness.

Weleda Skin Food

A classic. I'll never stop slathering on Skin Food!

EIGHTH DAY The Regenerative Serum Duo

Another must-have snag from the Nordstrom sale is this skin-smoothing serum, which is the closest it comes to bottled liquid gold. I'm honestly shocked the duo hasn't sold out yet.

Peach & Lily Glass Skin Serum

Nothing beats this best seller. It's safe for all skin types and brightens, firms, and calms the complexion.

Retrouvé Conditioning Toner With Chamomile

I use this toner every morning after cleansing, and the extra splash of hydration really makes a difference in my skin's luminosity. It also contains a very mild form of lactic acid, so it gently sloughs dead skin for an even brighter, healthier glow.
