The 2026 Art of Skin Care Awards

What we loved. What you loved. What changed skincare.

New doesn’t automatically mean better. Every year, hundreds of products cross our desks, and only a few earn a permanent place on our shelves. Our Innovation Awards honor the formulas that brought something genuinely new to skincare: smarter delivery systems, better retinoids and real barrier support. Esthetician Picks are the products our team couldn’t stop recommending. Client Choice winners are the new arrivals you kept coming back for. Look for the badge on each product to see what it won.

Curated by estheticians. Loved by real people.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Art of Skin Care Awards?

The Art of Skin Care Awards recognize the new skincare that impressed our licensed estheticians most in 2026, along with the new arrivals our clients loved. Every winner earned its place through results, not hype.

How are the winners chosen?

Our estheticians look for thoughtful formulation, meaningful innovation and visible results. Most importantly, a winner has to earn a place in a real skincare routine. Strong sales alone don’t win an award.

What do the award categories mean?
