Honorable Mention: G.M. Collin Essential Oil Complex
Readers' Choice Winner: Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash
Why: "This is a must-buy for those struggling with acne. This cleanser really does help clear up blemishes and keeps your face fresh without drying out your skin."

Best Anti-Aging Serum
Why: If you can add one more step to your skin care routine, this should be it. This serum works to repair the skin barrier (the outermost layer of skin) so it looks smooth and luminous. It also helps your other products penetrate and work better while balancing bacteria with probiotics.
Honorable Mention: Tatcha Luminous Overnight Memory Serum Concentrate
Readers' Choice Winner: Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II
Why: "Ever since I started using this lightweight serum I've noticed fine lines disappear, and my skin tone looks even and more radiant."

Readers' Choice Winner: Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser
Why: "My skin feels so clean and refreshed after I use it, and doesn't leave my skin feeling supertight or dried out. It feels like one of the best beauty values out there. Effective and still cost effective."

Why: While some brightening serums only target certain types of pigmentation, this one zaps them all -- from persistent dark spots to blurred freckles. It contains a special technology derived from Japanese cherry blossoms, and the milky consistency helps it sink in instantly.
Honorable Mention: Filorga C-Recover Radiance Boosting Concentrate
Readers' Choice Winner: Murad Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum
Why: "This sheer, citrus-scented serum lightened dark spots after just a week of a use. With continual use, I expect my dark spots to disappear completely."

Best Device
Why: Inspired by Asian cleansing rituals, this device allows you to do three types of skin cleansing with one tool. There's a warming plate that heats up oils and balms to melt away makeup, a soft bristle brush that whips foam cleansers into a creamy lather and a silicone brush to exfoliate trouble spots.
Honorable Mention: JeNu Plus Ultrasonic Infuser
Readers' Choice Winner: Clarisonic Mia 2
Why: "I have a lot of blackheads on my face, and this device really buffs and deeply cleans my pores to remove makeup and other impurities -- making skin softer, smoother and brighter."
Honorable Mention: Foreo Luna
