Welcome to Marie Claire’s inaugural Skin Awards. Over the past few months, our beauty team, along with seven board-certified dermatologists, have tested hundreds of products. Their mission: Identify the absolute best skincare on the market. As judges, we admittedly got judgy, taking a long, hard look at efficacy, ingredients, and texture. In the end, we identified the 94 best formulas in the skincare world—each and every one has been thoroughly tested and deemed undeniably transformative.
Our winners span eight categories and will see you through every step of your skincare routine. There are cleansers, toners (or the occasional essence!), serums, moisturizers, treatments, eye creams, sunscreens, and, for those who really like to indulge in a well-rounded routine, devices. Here, you’ll find tried and true cult-favorite winners with reputations that precede them, you’ll get the down-low on newly released, albeit beloved favorites, affordable skincare under $50, and the ideal items for sensitive, acne-prone, and mature skin types.
