Best Beauty & Health At The Moment

Health & Beauty

Finding the best skin care products is difficult, as anybody who has ever browsed the aisles of their neighborhood drugstore or beauty supply chain can attest. In order to uncover the best products available that are truly shown to work, our Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab scientists are always testing the newest and greatest advancements in skincare, from drugstore options to luxury beauty brands and everything in between. Through the use of sophisticated lab equipment and customer feedback, the GH Beauty Lab extensively assesses skincare products. Our scientists use equipment in the lab to measure the skin’s hydration levels, firmness, and the visibility of pores, dark spots, and wrinkles before and after the application of a formula.

Types Of Beauty


Soothing Cleanser

Use the glycerin and cucumber extract-infused SkinCeuticals foam face cleanser to thoroughly clean your skin. It received nearly perfect scores for effective cleansing in the most recent GH Beauty Lab test of face cleansers, with 96% of customers indicating that it thoroughly cleansed their skin. Even so, it effectively cleansed skin without making it feel tight or dry. “Instead of feeling tight and dry, this facial cleanser left my skin feeling much more silky, nourished, smooth, and rinsed off easily,” a tester observed.

Daily Facial Cleanser

The dermatologist-recommended Cetaphil face wash won the GH Beauty Lab’s face wash test for thoroughly washing while still leaving skin smooth. It has a powder-fresh smell and light suds. Many testers observed that while it’s perfect for all skin types, especially oily skin, it’s soft enough for sensitive skin. One gushed, “It didn’t overdry, strip, or irritate.” The majority of testers (86%), who rated it higher than all other cleansers tested, said they would keep using it. Additionally, it received high marks for being simple to rinse off and hydrating the skin.

Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream

With a blend of hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides, the Good Housekeeping Seal winner Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream from the GH Beauty Lab provides outstanding value and near-record levels of moisture. One of the greatest moisturization ratings in Beauty Lab history, the recipe increased skin’s hydration by 68% three hours after application in tests using the Corneometer instrument and held the top rank for 24 hours.

Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ 

This Clinique classic, a GH Beauty Award winner, stands up to its reputation, efficiently moisturizing skin for hours in GH Beauty Lab tests despite its lightweight texture. Calculations using the lab’s Corneometer, a device that gauges skin hydration, revealed that it significantly boosted moisture levels in the six hours following application, rising by an astonishing 43%. Dramatic, for sure!

Cream Gel HydraLuminous Water Surge

No7’s moisturizer hydrates with lipids, glycerin, and plant-derived sugars without feeling heavy or greasy thanks to a featherlight gel texture, like a cool drink for oily, mixed, or acne-prone skin. According to lab research, this GH Seal Star recipe improved skin moisturization for three days after application, and 84% of testers reported glowing skin after one week of use.

Oat Gel Facial Moisturizer Calm + Restore

Aveeno’s GH Beauty Award-winning formula, which combines nourishing, anti-inflammatory colloidal oats with a water-based gel texture, instantly hydrates dehydrated skin. According to GH Beauty Lab Senior Chemist Sabina Wizemann, the lightweight moisturizer “melts in with no greasiness or tackiness and cools and calms dry, irritated skin patches on contact.” The following day, my skin appeared better: it was less irritated and red.

Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Moisturizer

Olay Regenerist Retinol24, a winner of the GH Beauty Lab’s night cream test due to its apparent brightening, softening, firming, and wrinkle-reducing properties, is a night moisturizer and skin-smoothing retinol therapy in one. According to the Lab’s Cutometer gadget, which measures skin laxity, the cream increased skin firmness by 27% over the course of four weeks of use. Every tester concurred that it softened the skin, and it also had the best brightening results. One test subject stated, “Each morning, my skin was firmer and smoother.” I find that fine lines are less obvious.

SkinActive Ultra-Lift Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream

The anti-aging eye treatment test conducted by the GH Beauty Lab’s lowest-priced winner, Garnier’s cream efficiently tightened and hydrated eye area skin. Its shea butter and caffeine formulation enhanced skin hydration by 31% and firmness by 32%. One tester gushed, “It truly seemed to reduce my dark circles so that I required considerably less concealer!” “It seemed to brighten and was a great moisturizer.”

Cocoa Butter Formula Moisturizing Skin Therapy Oil For Face

This Seal Star is a 10-botanical oil blend (including argan, apricot, and almond oils) that significantly increased skin suppleness and was the best value in the GH Beauty Lab’s evaluation of facial oils. It enhanced skin moisture by 8% after testing using the Corneometer tool from the lab without feeling heavy. Two testers remarked that their skin had a “healthy glow” and that “the wrinkles are gone.”
