Best Moisturizer
Why: If you have dry skin, you might be missing certain lipids, and that's what this cream provides. It feels like butta', and the hydration lasts all day.
Honorable Mention: Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream
Readers' Choice Winner: First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream
Why: I have acne-prone skin, and this doesn't irritate my face at all. Instead, it makes my skin soft, hydrated and smooth. It even reduces redness.
Honorable Mention: Pond's Dry Skin Cream

Honorable Mention: L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Bright Reveal Brightening Dual Overnight Moisturizer
Readers' Choice Winner: Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Cream

Best Oral Care
Why: The Tesla of toothbrushes. This rose gold beauty is gorgeous, makes teeth feel dentist-visit clean, and will have you looking down your nose at manual toothbrushes for good.
Honorable Mention: Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant Clean & Fresh Toothpaste
Readers' Choice Winner: Crest 3D White Luxe Professional Effects Whitestrips
Why: My teeth were slightly stained from coffee and red wine, but after five days of use, my teeth were already gleaming white. I had strangers asking me how I got them so white.

Best Serum
Why: With three different types of vitamin C, this serum protects skin from free-radical damage and brightens spots that are already there. It has a lotion-like texture and sinks in after only a second.
Honorable Mention: No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum
Readers' Choice Winner: Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Serum
Why: The lightweight serum has a silky consistency and makes skin appear brighter. It's a great product, and it's inexpensive compared to department store brands.
Honorable Mention: SkinCeuticals Serum 10 AOX+
