The Allure 2024 Best of Beauty Skin-Care Product Winners We’re Making Our Entire Personality

Tester Feedback: “This soothed my irritated, sensitive skin as I began using a higher dose of tretinoin,” says senior editor Jesa Marie Calaor. “Its lightweight texture felt extra hydrating and worked wonders to bring down redness.”

Best Face Oil

Bloomeffects Royal Tulip Vitamin C Facial Oil

Why It Won: If you’ve been saving your face oil for nighttime, let Bloomeffects Royal Tulip Vitamin C Facial Oil convince you it deserves a spot in your morning routine (before sunscreen, of course). Brimming with moisturizing squalane and a super-stable vitamin C, this lightweight oil delivers high-impact antioxidant power and radical radiance.

Tester Feedback: “This is a great daytime oil,” says McGrath. “It adds an instant glow but absorbs fairly quickly so you can layer makeup on top.”

Best Eye Creams

Best Line-Smoothing Eye Cream: Neocutis Lumiere Firm

Why It Won: Peptides and growth factors really get into the thick of it with the remarkably rich Neocutis Lumiere Firm. The truly thorough formula addresses dark circles and puffiness with aplomb. We have to give it extra credit for its ability to smooth fine lines around and under the eyes.

Tester Feedback: “Unlike so many lighter-weight eye creams, this one makes me feel like my eye area is getting heavy-duty—but not heavy—moisture that lasts all day and stays smooth under concealer,” says Robin.

Best Depuffing Eye Cream: Skinfix Triple Lipid Eye Treatment

Why It Won: A lightweight cream for one of the most delicate spaces on your face, Skinfix Triple Lipid Eye Treatment impressed testers with its caffeine-spiked formula. If you want your undereye skin to be perky, not puffy, this will get you there.

Tester Feedback: “This eye cream feels light and absorbs quickly and there are no tacky after effects,” says senior business director Eilish Morley. “A triple win in my book.”

Best Multitasking Eye Cream: Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye

Why It Won: The key ingredients in Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye—a snake venom-inspired peptide, niacinamide, and vitamin F (an essential fatty acid)—are kept in separate chambers. By not meeting until the moment you pump them out, they can be the most potent version of their firming, brightening, and smoothing selves.

Tester Feedback: “What really makes this do-it-all eye serum so impressive for me is that it’s made with a synthetic version of a peptide found in snake venom, which is what creates the look and feel of tighter, lifted undereyes,” says Kinonen. “And as someone in their early 30s, who is starting to physically see the effects of sleepless nights (puffiness, dark circles), I’ve started using this treatment every morning and night (after applying my actives and before my moisturizer) to combat tired undereyes.”

Best Face Masks

Best Clarifying Mask: Caudalie Instant Detox Mask

Why It Won: There are rare occasions when TikTok steers you in the right direction—like when it sings the praises of Caudalie Instant Detox Mask. Its kaolin and bentonite do exactly what you want clay to do—soak up excess sebum and purify your pores. And because this formula also offers glycerin and botanical oils (from lavender, bergamot, and more), the cleansing is matched by moisturization.
