Could you recommend some home care products that will help my skin condition before an important day?

Lately, I've been really worried because my face looks so dull every time I look in the mirror under the office lighting. Since I'm so busy and going to the salon is a bit of a burden, I've been wanting to stock up on at least one decent home care product. I used to just slather on a moisturizing cream before bed, but now that feels insufficient, so I'm compiling a new list focused on nutritious home care products. Do any of you have tried any of the best home care products you can confidently recommend to your friends? If you know of any products that help smooth skin or combat dryness, please feel free to share them.
