These Are the Highest-Rated Launches of 2019

If you want to wake up to smooth, youthful-looking skin, try this powerful exfoliating cream with 10 percent glycolic acid and two percent phytic acid. Though the formula is potent, its blend of soothing botanical oils helps prevent irritation and it’s gentle enough for nightly use. Why shoppers love it: “After about a week, I started seeing major changes to my skin! An acne scar on my forehead that I’ve had for years completely disappeared! Rough scaly patches from sun damage? They’re now gone.”

This FDA-cleared device stimulates facial muscles with little electric pulses called microcurrents, which helps minimize fine lines and wrinkles. The tool’s about the size of a pen, so it goes anywhere and integrates easily into a youth-boosting routine. (Here's what happened when we tried this.) Why shoppers love it: “I love the portability of this product, and it actually works. I’ve been using it on the fine lines around my mouth, and it seems to be diminishing them.”

Whether you want to go makeup-free or full glam, this product is already something of a legend. The cult-favorite primer blurs pores and smooths skin while creating the perfect base layer for makeup. Why shoppers love it: “This primer is very smooth and silky, which is why less is more. It does a great job with covering my pores and I know this product will last me a while.”

Vitamin C, known for its brightening and firming properties, is a fundamental ingredient in any anti-aging skin care routine. This formula for morning and night combines a stable form of vitamin C with antioxidant-packed turmeric and pomegranate seed oil, unveiling a more luminous complexion. Why shoppers love it: “I use this every morning after washing my face and it really has helped the texture and tone of my skin. It’s smoother and the redness has been reduced. As an oily person it absorbs well. Definitely a repurchase.”

If you love the look of plump lips (and who doesn’t), this treatment is your new best friend. Packed with sodium hyaluronate and konjac root, it hydrates lips deeply for a fuller look. Plus, this formula’s got peptides to help stimulate collagen production, which dials up the volume on your lips. Why shoppers love it: “Finally a lip-plumping product that actually works without that awful stinging sensation. I love the way this makes my lips feel and look.”

Between dry winter air and summer humidity, it might seem like your hair can never catch a break. Enter Briogeo’s leave-in conditioner, which helps prevent dryness and split ends. The newly reformulated spray seals moisture into hair with natural ingredients, like argan oil, coconut oil and rosehip oil. Why shoppers love it: “I use this spray before I blow-dry my hair to prevent any heat damage and frizziness. It makes my hair feel soft. I have used leave-in sprays in the past that would leave my hair greasy. This one does not do that. Forever holy grail product.”

Omega fatty acids aren’t just staples of a healthy diet; they’re skin care staples, too, thanks to their ability to reinforce the skin barrier and lock in moisture. This antioxidant-rich moisturizer coats skin in omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids to prevent dryness and imparts amino acids for extra hydration. Why shoppers love it: “This is a great product for someone looking for a nice simple moisturizer. It doesn't leave your skin oily and smells a bit like oatmeal. A soothing cream that hydrates. A single pump goes a long way.”
