Best Beauty Products
The beauty industry has expanded dramatically in recent years, and the sheer number of new brands, products, and treatments to choose from is both exciting and overwhelming.
A lot of the time, skincare can feel risky. You must first invest both time and money in the hopes that a given formula will do what it claims, whether it is to reduce dark circles or clear up bacne. But the risk doesn’t always pay off, and when it does, you’re stuck with a dud and have to start over looking for a product that lives up to the hype. Join the club if you have a pile of half-used products under your bathroom sink!
Check out the best recommendations from Women’s Health’s team of Skincare Experts.
BEST CLEANSER
“This cleansing gel uses a combination of postbiotics (which help with skin barrier function and hydration) and thermal spring water with anti-inflammatory and soothing properties to remove dirt and oil. It’s great as part of a double-cleanse routine: Use this first and a creamy wash second to lock in moisture.” — Dr. Gohara
BEST TONER
“This toner is great for hydration. It is a a well-formulated toner that helps restore the skin’s PH balance, applies smoothly, and feels really hydrating with no tight or drying feeling afterwards. And the packaging is unique and attractive.” — Dr. Hartman
BEST EXFOLIATOR
“This uses natural fruit exfoliants that chemically break the bonds between dead and dry skin cells, but what makes it so good for dry skin is that there are more than three moisture-improving ingredients to help dry skin types: hyaluronic acid, vitamin B3, and vitamin B5.” — Dr. Nazarian
BEST SERUM
“This is not your average hyaluronic acid serum. It is not only formulated with high-molecular, cross-linked HA, like the natural HA found in your skin, but it also uses a unique peptide technology, which increases the absorption of the HA and also boosts your skin’s ability to create even more HA. While most HA serums have the desired plumping effect, this HA serum also has another superstar ingredient called glycerin, which is ideal for dry skin.” — Dr. Levin
BEST EYE CREAM
“This works wonders for the undereyes and makes the area feel so much softer and more hydrated. The formula has such a creamy, just-right consistency that’s not too thick, not too watery, and easy to spread.” — Jackson
