As beauty editors, new product launches are our business. Literally. Every day we receive boxes upon boxes filled with everything from moisturizers to mascaras promising to change our lives (or at least our lashes). As much as we love to try the latest (and have 100 new go-tos as a result), there’s also something to be said for the tried and true favorites that have a permanent place in our beauty routines. So in honor of our tenth annual beauty awards, we created the People Beauty Awards Hall of Fame to honor the beauty MVPs who actually changed the beauty game — and never fail to deliver real results.
BEST FACE MOISTURIZER OF ALL TIME: Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream Moisturizer
Ever since the brand launched its “red jar” in 2007 with its power trio of firming amino-peptides, plumping hyaluronic acid and brightening niacinamide, it’s been a bestseller. Nothing beats the performance or the price.
BEST BODY CREAM OF ALL TIME: CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
Since this thick cream launched in 2005, it’s become one of the most-used tubs on our vanities.
It’s so rich, yet the oil-free formula absorbs quickly and leaves even the driest skin smooth and soft.
BEST STYLING CREAM OF ALL TIME: Fekkai The Original Brilliant Glossing Styling Crème
This versatile olive-oil-infused cream was an instant hit when it launched in 1995. Now it’s back in
its original form and once again a favorite.
BEST GLOW BOOSTER OF ALL : Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter
Inspired by social media filters, this illuminating primer has been a bestseller since it launched in 2018. It now comes in 12 shades and is the starting point of countless “GRWM” TikTok videos.
