So many skincare products are released in a year. Some are good, some are just okay, and some are unfortunately, underwhelming. But in a sea of constant newness, only a few products can cut through the noise and truly stand out.
Here are just 10 of them that stood out in 2024.
Pro Collagen Banking Serum with Polyglutamic Acid, Dermalogica, $125
The results of Dermalogica’s Banking Serum speak for themselves. The powerful serum helps promote, protect, and preserve skin’s collagen leaving you with visibly plumper, hydrated, luminous skin.
Skin Caviar The Mist, La Prairie, $250
If you’re someone who loves a facial mist—La Prairie has you covered. Their Skin Caviar Mist released earlier this year is an extension of their renowned Skin Caviar collection. Spray the ultra-fine emulsion on bare skin to prep it, over your makeup for added dew, or anytime throughout the day for a cooling dose of hydration.
N°1 DE CHANEL Revitalizing Eye Serum, CHANEL, $128
This CHANEL eye serum is like a full night’s rest in a bottle. The Revitalizing Serum’s main ingredient, the red camellia flower, targets signs of aging and improves skin elasticity. Plus, its patented rotating applicator offers a cooling effect that helps to target puffiness, too.
Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm, Aesop, $43
Aesop Hand Balms are known for their rich texture and feel. The new Eleos Aromatique is no different. Filled with ultra-hydrating ingredients, the earthy, woodsy-scented balm isn’t greasy at all and absorbs into the skin immediately.
LipSoftie Hydrating Tinted Lip Treatment, Tower28, $16
There are so many lip treatments on the market right now—but Tower28’s LipSoftie Hydrating Tinted Lip Treatment is the one that stands out from the crowd. Its formula includes shea butter, jojoba, and lysine to prevent any bits of dryness without irritation or artificial flavours and scents. Plus, it is available in five shades, including clear.
Super Anti-Aging Dual Serum, Dr. Barbara Sturm, $581
This product is so good, it reminds you why Dr. Barbara Sturm is one of the most sought-after skincare experts in the industry. The dual-phase serum combines antioxidants with skin-identical ceramides, fatty acids and peptides to visibly plump skin and target aging skin.
Resurfacing Flash Peel, U Beauty, $258
U Beauty’s bestselling Resurfacing Compound meets an even more powerful formulation in the Resurfacing Flash Peel. Using the brand’s double-patent-pending SIREN Capsule Technology, the peel exfoliates and balances the skin, giving you chemical-grade results in just five minutes.
Pineapple Refresh Daily Cleanser, rhode skin, $28
Even though it only launched two years ago, it’s hard to remember a time when people weren’t lining up for blocks to get their hands on Hailey Bieber’s rhode products. But the brand’s unsung hero (at least in my opinion) is the Pineapple Refresh Daily Cleanser. Formulated with green tea extract and pineapple enzyme, it’s gentle enough for everyday use and perfect for sensitive skin.
Almond Delicious Shower, L’Occitane, $40
Of course, we had to sneak a body care product in here, because, say it with me: skincare doesn’t stop at the neck. And this year, L’Occitane’s fan-favourite almond body care collection got a fantastic addition. The new Almond Shower Cream will give you the same great hydration and scent of the viral shower oil but in a delicious light and fluffy whipped texture.
Superkind Calming Crème, Tata Harper, $165
The newest addition to Tata Harper’s bestselling Superkind collection nails the formula for sensitive skin, once again. The pillowy textured cream instantly soothes irritated skin and reduces redness, thanks to its blend of high-performing botanicals that includes golden micro-algae and oat seed oil.
