Why it won: Made with 95 per cent ingredients of natural origin, it’ll leave you feeling recharged with its blend of mandarin and bergamot essential oils, along with Community Fair Trade organic olive oil from Italy.

“I love the mandarin and bergamot scent – citrusy without smelling like synthetic orange. Lathered beautifully and left skin feeling clean and hydrated. A little goes a long way. The fragrance is a real mood-lifter and made me want to prolong bath time.” – Letty Seah, associate beauty editor

2/7

Why it won: A top-to-toe uber gentle cleanser, the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is a creamy, non-foaming wash that is perfect for all skin types. It’s formulated with skin soothing and hydrating ingredients like glycerin and panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) to retain skin’s moisture barrier and defend against the five signs of skin sensitivity – dryness, irritation, roughness, tightness and a weakened skin barrier.

“Left my skin feeling soft sans greasiness. More importantly, it was very gentle on the skin too.” – Letty Seah, associate beauty editor

3/7

Why it won: The Paula’s Choice 5% Niacinamide Body Serum is great for keeping skin soft and smooth. Besides niacinamide, it’s also infused with d-panthenol (vitamin B5) and prickly pear extract, and together they address uneven skin tone and dry, rough skin texture while restoring skin’s barrier. Plus, its lightweight texture is great for Singapore’s humidity as it never leaves skin feeling tacky.

“The texture is super lightweight and undetectable. I used it over the discolored and drier areas of my legs, which made the skin softer, smoother and more even over time. Loved it!” – Larry Yeo, makeup artist

4/7

Why it won: Perfect for those with dry skin, the A-Derma ExoMega Control Emollient Cream instantly soothes, reducing irritation and itching. Its vegan-friendly formula is enriched with calming rhealba oat seeding extract that rebalances and repairs fragile skin, along with vitamin B3 to restore skin’s barrier.

“While it’s a thick cream, it still felt light on the skin after it dried down. I used this overnight and my skin felt less dry and softer. The formula also made it suitable for sensitive skin types and even users with eczema.” – Dr Rachel Ho, Medical Director at LA Clinic

5/7

Why it won: Need to rescue your skin stat? The Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion has been clinically proven to restore skin’s moisture barrier in one week, and is ideal for even the most dry and sensitive of skins. More importantly, it instantly replenishes, intensely nourishes and soothes skin for up to 48 hours with its combination of glycerin, vitamin B3 and pro-vitamin B5.

“Best for those with dry skin. While it is moisturising, it does have a very occlusive feel that can feel heavy to some.” – Dr Rachel Ho, Medical Director at LA Clinic

It cleanses and sloughs off dead skin with the use of tagua nut powder and bamboo stem extract, while leaving skin super soft and smooth with moisturising cocoa and shea butters.

“It has a really nice lavender scent and its light mousse texture left my skin feeling hydrated, smoothed and plumped. Would 10/10 recommend it.” - Didi, @badgaldidiiii, content creator

7/7

Why it won: Made with natural bamboo fibres, the Glov Skin Smoothing Body Massage will be your best buddy in the shower. Used alone or together with your fave body wash, the reusable cleansing mitt exfoliates the skin while boosting blood flow to get skin soft, smooth and looking less dimply too (cellulite be gone!). It’s also great in prepping the skin for your body lotions and creams after too.

“It sloughed off quite a lot of my dead skin from past tanning sessions, and left my skin a lot smoother. It even helped lighten a few scars and my skin tone.” - Didi, @badgaldidiiii, content creator
