As a skincare professional, you’ve spent time finding the best products to treat your client’s skin. You know that what works for one client might not work for another client, because all skin isn’t created equal. With the Skin Inc. 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards, you have a chance to highlight the products that provided your clients with the best results. If you’re wondering which product you use that you can vote for, we’ve got you covered!
The First Step: Best Cleanser, Best Mask and Best Peel
A cleanser is a great way to wash away dirt, oil, and makeup while leaving your skin feeling soft and clean, but not dry or stripped.
A mask gives the skin a boost of hydration, clarity, or glow, which can leave it looking refreshed.
A peel removes dull, tired skin to reveal a brighter, smoother layer underneath, and is one way to give the skin a refreshing glow.
The Second Step: Best Toner and Best Serum
A toner freshens your skin after cleansing and leaves it feeling soft, balanced, and ready for the next step.
A serum is a boost that targets a specific skin goal, as it sinks into the skin and helps it to look healthier, clearer, and more radiant.
The Last Step: Best Sunscreen and Best Moisturizer
A sunscreen is a daily shield against the sun and protects the skin from harmful rays.
A moisturizer is an everyday essential that keeps skin soft, smooth, and hydrated.
Specialized Skincare: Best Acne Product, Best Anti-Wrinkle Product, Best Dry Skin Product, Best Sensitive Product, Best Brightening Treatment, Best Firming Product and Best Peptide
An acne product clears up breakouts, calms redness, dries blemishes and clears pores.
An anti-wrinkle product can soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles, so it looks smoother and younger. With regular use, it can help the skin look fresh, refined and more even.
A dry skin product can help the skin feel smoother, softer and nourished, while giving it lasting moisture.
The sensitive skin product is designed with delicate skin in mind, with a focus on being soothing and gentle, while calming redness and irritation.
A brightening treatment can help skin that has a dull appearance or dark spots look more even, fresh and glowing.
A firming product is meant to help the skin look tighter, lifted and bouncier.
A peptide helps skin look plumper, firmer and smoother to give it a youthful boost.
