With a diverse range of skin types and preferences among the editors, their recommendations vary widely, reflecting the dynamic nature of beauty trends.

This year, senior beauty and wellness editor Margaux Anbouba has been particularly impressed by the Shark FacialPro, a device reminiscent of the popular Hydrafacial. It’s designed to deeply cleanse pores, and her enthusiasm is echoed by fellow editor Arden Fanning Andrews who swears by Omi’s hair growth gummies as a staple in her wellness routine. Meanwhile, beauty shopping writer aConçetta Ciarlo credits Sofie Pavitt’s mandelic acid serum for keeping her blemish-free.

Beauty editor Morgan Fargo has also found success with a serum that targets hyperpigmentation, significantly reducing the appearance of dark spots. Her glowing review highlights the serum’s ability to repair damaged skin while eliminating dryness. In a similar vein, Andrews praises Bioeffect EGF Essence for its refreshing properties, stating it’s an ideal first step in her morning skincare routine.

Another editor, K.M., has been hoarding a particular product known for its skin radiance and texture-enhancing abilities. This retinol and AHA combination has turned into a must-have in her beauty arsenal. Following a laser treatment, Anbouba discovered a moisturizer rich in red camellia extract that not only hydrates but also soothes the skin effectively.

For those seeking an effective sunscreen, K.M. traveled to Seoul to try a lightweight, nourishing formula free from the dreaded white cast. With a commitment to acne management, Ciarlo emphasizes the importance of her gentle mandelic acid serum, which has proven effective in keeping breakouts at bay.

Udemezue, an associate beauty and wellness writer, shares her love for Tower 28’s SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray, which features a minimal ingredient list and has helped her combat irritation in urban settings. Meanwhile, K.M. highlights a milky toner from K-beauty that has become a daily essential for hydration and nourishment.

Despite the allure of vibrant makeup products, one editor finds solace in a transparent lip balm that offers exceptional hydration thanks to its unique blend of peptides and phyto-collagen. This balm has become an indispensable part of her routine since its launch.

Another standout product among the team is the Yon-Ka Phytoaromatic Treatment Mist, praised for its delightful scent and uplifting qualities, perfect for a midday refresh. Meanwhile, K.M. remains loyal to the Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite LED face mask, which combines red and blue light therapy to effectively battle acne.
